Looking ahead to the semi

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

2 weeks today, away, Torres bound to be injured like last time....

 

 

I'm f***ing excited as s*** already

 

And I'm happier with Atleti than Valencia. Valencia are 3rd with a good home record.

 

Aguero out, who else is a danger?

there was very little between the teams in the CL a while back. Away goal as always will be crucial.

[stressederic]

My only concern at the moment is Torres and Mascherano both riding on a yellow card.

[CarraLegend]

Forlan, Simao, Reyes is playing well again.

 

A European semi, what a feeling. One tie away from another final.

Torres should be fine, he was on his best behaviour tonight because of it. Suppose it only needs a c*** of a ref to book him for a dive when it was a nailed on foul and he's f***ed!

 

Cant believe Masch will get through 2 legs of a European semi without a yellow so thats a bit of a worry.

as you say in the match thread, we should keep that back 4 as is now

LOL of the season.

 

I'm so up for this. Just the mere sniff of European success is getting me all moist and forgiveful.

 

Rafaaa rafa ...rafa rafa... Rafaaaa....rafa... etc

i'm a fickle c***. i want him to stay now

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

f***ing right. 4th is a pair of hairy sweaty b******s compared to winning this beauty

 

what's the Babel suspension situation?

[Sion]

Atletico are a weird bunch. They've been ludicrously inconsistent this season and have lost more games in La Liga than they've won.

Much rather play them than Villa, Silva, Mata and co. Still they've got players who can hurt you.

 

Score draw away and i'm confident we can do them at home.

we looked so much more solid without him tonight

saw highlights of the first leg and valancia should have won that by 5 or 6 goals

:lol:

 

Excluding the Champions league qualifiers Atletico have only won 1 of their 12 european ties this season.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

wasn't Masch a yellow away from a suspension in 07 & came through 2 games unscathed?

[surf]

are we home or away first?

 

there's something to be said for torres and masch picking up their yellows in the first leg and missing the second rather than picking up yellows in the second and missing the final. actually, torres should be ok if he behaves, but cant see masch staying yellow free for two games with his style of play

[Stigger]

looking slightly further ahead, if we were to get to the final are tickets printed with your name on them?

 

I only ask as my season ticket is currently in my grandad's name and would hate to miss out on being there if we did lift it.

 

Anyone know from previous years if the club are happy to allow you to nominate someone if you qualify for a final ticket?

As pointed out on the genny forum, I think Atletico are here for the taking, their record in Europe for the past 14 games is rubbish but somehow are in the Semi Finals...

 

Played 14

Won 0 (Yes I know, no wins )

Drawn 10

Lost 4

 

Valencia would have been much more difficult opponents.

wanted valencia, went to the vicente calderon last season.
