Great result Laughed at Ramos Penalty - but I can't imagine the pressure these guys are under.
Mourinho was more magnanimous afterwards too! Now who to support in the final .. possibly Cheski as they are definate underdogs

Bayern are a great side to watch, except for all the falling over, is there a player left in football that doesn't dive, go over easy or cheat?

I find all the play acting now is really spoiling the game. I was watching a local game at the weekend, a semi final to get into the Scottish junior cup final. One of our strikers was getting verbals from a few of the crowd for NOT taking the opportunity to dive in the penalty box
. As for that cheat Drogba, he's the worst of the lot, and one reason why I will be shouting for Bayern in the final!

Yeah its really spoiling the game, used to watch all the games but now i just watch my team, i cant stand most players these days.
Didier Drogbah has never dived in his life. The man is a complete paragon of virtue.
I thought that Marcelo put on about the best display I've seen. I'm not sure whether he's supposed to be a left back or a left midfielder, but every time he went forward the ball seemed tied to his boot.

This is great fun! I can't help thinking what the action is all about once the superimposed superstars are removed. Ordinary folk throwing some shapes - do we know where?
I don't know mate.
But check out the little kid in the background (left) also dancing...
What really bugs me is the bitterness you hear from some British fans, and saying they are going to support Bayern in the final. I really don't get how you can support a foreign team against a British team. The number of Barca "supporters" there are at my kids school drives me nuts, it's the ultimate in plastic fandom. TBH, I really think you should support a club that you have some sort of connection with eg either your local club, or the club that your family support. I can just about understand kids choosing to support a succesful (British) club, as long as they stick with them through thick and thin.
Of course people are going to support Bayern in the final. Chelsea are a Marmite club and you are always going to encounter their fans, real or plastic whereas you're unlikely to come across too many Bayern fans who will try and lord it over you should they win it. As much as my team are bitter rivals of Man Ure, most of our fans prefer them to Chelsea seeing all Chelsea have achieved is built on gargantuan amounts of unearned money. However much we dislike Man Ure, we acknowledge they've earned everything they've achieved so in the European Cup final between those two clubs, most Scousers preferred to see a Man Ure win.
Bayern for me thank you. A choice between one mega rich club who despite already winning the tie, went to Real Madrid and attacked. Or, a mega-rich Russian club with some of the highest paid players in the world yet who felt unable to actually "engage" the opposition in any meaningful way over 2 games.

This is OTM, if I watch the final I'll be supporting Bayern for sure, and was gutted that Barca lost - I've always had a soft spot for them back to the mid 80s when my Dad explained the whole mas que un club thing (which I know winds some people up but I love) and I thought that they are very much the Spanish equivalent of Liverpool.
FWIW I really struggle with supporting England these days too, so many players in the team that for the rest of the season I can't abide, why should I suddenly start lauding them for a month or so every couple of year?....
