Young dived but as a defender you can't leave your leg out like that.

Wigan are really starting to fight to move out of the drop zone! Beating United and Arsenal and successive games! Definitely outplayed United at the DW, didn't see the Arsenal game though. United played well against Villa, Norwich were looking alright until Tevez started the rout.

The title race is heating up.

Yes it was....

How this one didn't make the top 10 I'll never know...

Who is the only British team to beat Barca home and away?

sgt_pepper · Apr 20, 2012

/\/\ im gonna guess liverpool? whoever it was it was in the 80s i bet...
wouldnt hold out much hope for chelski tho. they were lucky to get the win in my opinion and the nou camp will be a different story.
lebron has admitted that hes only bought into LFC as an investment. hes not really interested in football. the shoe itelf isnt so bad except for the bird they used. wouldve been better with nothing than a cheap imitation...

AyiosYiorgos · Apr 20, 2012

Chelsea are in dream land after a sensational victory over Barcelona, but the Blues face the prospect of going to the Nou Camp and doing it all over again next week. Beating Barca home and away is something which the likes of Man United, Arsenal, Newcastle and Leeds have all failed to do. A Champions League win on Catalan soil has only been achieved by one English side, with Liverpool managing a 2-1 Champions League victory in 2007 to add to their 1-0 win in the 1976 UEFA Cup semi. The Reds couldn't do the same at home however, losing the return leg 1-0 at Anfield in 2007 and drawing the 1976 encounter in front of The Kop.
So who are the only British team ever to beat Barcelona home and away? You might be surprised by the answer. Step up, Dundee United.
In 1987 Barcelona were managed by none other than Terry Venables. El Tel's Barca side had a distinctly British flavour, featuring the likes of Gary Lineker, Mark Hughes and Steve Archibald and had come close to winning the European Cup a season earlier, losing on penalties.
After being drawn with Barca in the UEFA Cup quarter-finals, few gave Jim McLean's Dundee United any hope of progression. United where unfazed by the star power of the Catalans however, and a 1-0 victory at Tannadice was followed by an even better 2-1 win away. United would go on to reach the final against IFK Gothenburg, but the Scots couldn't produce a repeat performance, and lost the two-legged tie, but they remain the British team that Barcelona simply couldn't handle.
In fact, this wasn't even the first time Dundee United had done for Barca home and away, because in the 1966/67 season they beat the Catalans 4-1 on aggregate in a second round Fairs Cup tie (the forerunner of the Europa League). A 2-1 win in the first leg at the Nou Camp was followed by a 2-0 win at Tannadice, so perhaps Chelsea might want to consider wearing tangerine shirts for their semi-final away leg

tottenham are that fucking shit. excuse the language but i had $218 incoming if these spastics even drew, they didnt even have to win. i double chanced them in my multi because i knew they were unreliable but losing to qpr. that will do me. 3 weeks in a row i think tottenham have cost me money.

in my defence have some respect for chelsea who they lost two one of the times they cost me $$$. but QPR this is just ridiculous.

rishgoon · Apr 22, 2012

QPR beaten some good teams lately.
Tott*nham not one of them though

sgt_pepper · Apr 22, 2012

as soon as i saw the odds in that game, my money went on QPR.
its not quite as suprising as it wouldve been at the start of the season. QPR arent a bad team. playing at home. in a london derby. still battling for relegation really. vs a spurs team that have completely lost it in the last couple of months. add in that spurs were paying out not that great...
