Canaries in a coal mine - the other teams thread

How could I forget?

Jack Edwards! and his venerable sidekick, Ty Keough.

 

Better or worse than Arlo White's "CURLS IT" that sounds like he's vomiting?

Though I will say, I have this game on in the background and Gus has startled me 3 or 4 times already. That's bad announcing.

 

I'll do ya 1 better

 

I know its messed up but I just noted Ribery is footballs version of the Hound (GOT).

 

LOL. Fvck the King.

 

He'd be great, by the way.

 

Why do I have the feeling Pepe is faking all these injures to stop the play. Come on, man.

 

When did Real start using Comic Sans?

 

i get the feeling that arlo white was only hired because he has an english accent. his commentary is completely over the top and he feels the need to be speaking at all times. one of a few things that really bother me about nbc's coverage.

 

His problem is that he's originally a radio announcer. Still hasn't gotten the hang of television, where less is more.

 

didn't realize that. makes a bit more sense then.

 

That's better.

 

In other news, Adnan Januzaj has decided to play for Belgium at the National team level.

 

OMG, Real got away with one there.

 

Why do they keep showing the dude in the Steelers hat?

 

I was gonna ask who is he? Must be some body to get that many looks.

 

I thought so at first....but it was clean. In the replay you can see he got a toe to the ball cleanly. Howard Webb more lucky than good on that one, he was in a bad position to see it.

 

It looked to me like he went through Muller first though - I still think it was a clear penalty (and a possible red for Alonso for DOCGSO).

 

Lol at thinking that was a penalty.

Müller just fell, Xabi barely touched him.

 

I was intently watching, I still jumped at least once.

 

i feel like real should and could have scored more. odd to say that about a team who were totally dominated in possession.

disappointing game i thought. hopefully the second leg is a bit more interesting.

 

Being totally dominated in possession doesn't sa much if you can't do anything with it.

Bayern looked clueless when they got the ball, had little creativity. Basically everything went via Robben and in the first half Alaba. Ribery was dreadful.

 

Just in time to replace Mirallas.

 

I don't think 1-0 goal does much for Real only because Bayern could easily win 2-0 in Munich. Still, better to have the 2nd leg away vs. at home. At least, thats how I've always viewed it.
