Stuttgart - Barcelona

[quote=\"Ballack\"][quote=\"Sheffield gunner\"]Stuttgart with a huge escape there.

Didn't notice that initially.

Effenberg, I think if the referee had spotted it he would have given the penalty. It looked to me like it hit him high up on the arm, and he moved slightly towards the ball. It certainly denied a goal, so I think the ref would have felt obliged to award a penalty.

Mad Jens

Close again after another quickly taken free kick.

Lehmann again WTF!

I can see why the Arsenal fans rated Hleb...not even sure if tonight is an example of him at his best but he never even played close to this in Barcelona.

WHAT?!

He was hit on the shoulder. No intent and no hand to ball AND Ibrahimovic controlled the ball with his hand first. The only penalty in this game should have been for Stuttgart in the first half.

please take off your black, red and gold tinted specs

Huge worry here for the rest of Europe, Busquets has gone down with an injury. Hopefully it's nothing and he continues to start every game.

Come on Stuttgart!

Only when you take off your Ibrahimovic thong.

Don't even think he has been that good, at least offensively. Defensively he has done well and he has connected well with Molinaro allthough it hasn't been that difficult passes to be honest. He can do better like he did for Arsenal but doesn't have quite the same confidence.

Cheering for Barca? Pourqoui

I think his passing has been tidy he's connected with some good through passes (a couple just offsides but you can see the intent) as well. But however you want to rate t his performance he was infinitely worse for Barcelona everytime he played.

Puyol is essentially a mediterranean Carragher.

Anyone see how quick Busquets got up there after his dive when he realised that Barcelona weren't going to win a freekick? Not this time cuntface.

I think Valdes has had more touches than Messi in the last 5 minutes.

Cowards

Girl coming on the pitch called Trudy.

Oh no. it's a bloke with long hair called Rudy. brilliant.

Another decision that goes Barcelona's way, I wonder how much cash Laporta spends on refs and Platini.

We knocked you of the CL almost a year ago. Get over it

He doesn't have to pay anything. Usually he just throws some freaky parties that everyone can enjoy.

How can Puyol even argue that foul/card.

Pique is another massive c*nt. Hate that guy.

No.

Messi wants to fight somebody.

FT.

Well, good effort by Stuttgart.

I'd pay to see that, he'd probably overdose on his growth hormones so that he'd beef up a little bit.

Just realized that Ibrahimovic looks a lot like the guy from Avatar

1-1 FT

Only managed to hear it on the Radio (at work).

Sounded awful

They didn't fall apart after the goal. Well done, Stuttgart.

What about the other game?
