Shearergol 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Chelsea v Barca or Real v Arsenal Having this debate at the moment. Personally, because of the rivalry between Chelsea and Barca (because of last year) and the fact that these are arguably the best two teams left in the competition (certainly favourites with the bookies) I feel that Chelsea v Barca is a bigger game. It's been claimed that the media are building this one up for no reason, but I'm yet to hear a reason other than "it's my opinion" as to why the Arsenal match was as big. Thoughts?

Dr Gloom 19720 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 gooners madrid was the bigger game three years ago but not today. chelsea's 'dirty tricks' campaign is cracking me up. not only does their pitch already resemble whitby beach - they've given it a watering overnight.

adios 717 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Domestically both Chelsea and Barca are running away with their respective leagues, they are the bigger teams now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 After what went on, and the fact the Chelsea V Barca game last year at Stamford Bridge was a cracker imo, then it's the bigger game than Real Madrid V Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6287 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 much of a muchness IMO... no prizes for guessing who Gol was debating it with... only the discussion didn't start off like that, it was a case of I think it's getting pathetic that UEFA got involved the get Barca off the pitch after an hour on Chelsea's say so - any other game, you'd never hear of shit like that going on. It is a big game - yes, but it's being blown up even bigger than it should be mainly on the backing of what went on last season. If the two of them weren't storming the leagues, there'd still be a media frenzy because of all the pathetic shit going on behind the scenes... My candid comment to Gol was that from a footballing view point, it's no bigger a game than what happened last night.. But the circus ensures it is...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 much of a muchness IMO... 99188[/snapback] You've got history and bad blood between Chelsea and Barca, they're also by far the best teams in their league, and last years game was a corker. I would say it makes it the bigger game, Real Madrid and Arsenal are big names but struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Chelsea v Barca, they're probably the two best teams left in it. Although Juve are pretty good anarl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon_Crazy 0 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Tonight's his bigger but I actually looked forward more to the Arsenal game. I don't expect a great game tonight even if it is bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5881 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 if i was rijkarrd (cant be arsed looking up the spelling) id be loving it. Its so obvious that mournho is shitting it, using every trick in the book to get the upper hand because he feels his first XI is inferior to barcas. I can just imagine him on the phone to Fifa after 61mins, 'Its our pitch and they wont give it back, tell them!!! pleeeaaasseee!!!!!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
