i didn't know 'my team' winning would bring so much hatred to the table.
i thought it was well fought?
(ii also watched the german telecast)
Robben is one of the most dislikeable players in football, which seems harsh considering he's not particularly malicious and other players feign injury and dive, but the way that slaphead does it is just really annoying. Then there's the under-aged-prostitute-screwing Ribery, who should've been sent-off for an elbow to Lewandowski's head, and spent a lot of time trying to disrupt the rhythm of the game lying on the floor every time he lost the ball. There's the fact that an uber-rich club decided to buy the opposition's star player in the build-up to this match, and one suspects may have had some nefarious influence on that star-player's absence from the final (or maybe it was a genuine injury, just like all of those Ryan Giggs hamstrings everytime a Welsh international friendly match was due). Then there's these t-shirts:
Appropriating the English football song in 1996 after they'd knocked us out of the tournament was funny. Bayern are not the German national team, and transferring this jibe from international to club football, with it's completely different loyalties, divisions, and history, looks like they're milking an old joke in the wrong situation, and adds to the air of arrogance that added a delicious level of schadenfraud to their final loss last year: "our stadium, our club, our cup" read the massive banner. Who wasn't thinking
Yeah, right come the result?
Plus, they've just sacked the manager that took them to a record-points league win and champions league success for Guardiola who's experience in management is telling the best team in the world to give the ball to Messi. If his appointment backfires it will also be well-deserved (not saying it will - Bayern have a great squad and Pep
should do well).
Have I missed anything out?
