Champions league 2013/2014

Au contraire Sidney, other than Mr Johnathan Terence Esq, there are very few professional footballers in existence that would have carried off the whole ''dressing in full kit, (OK, we will have to mark him down a few bonus points for not actually elbowing Casillas out of the way and lifting the trophy himself), walking down the stadium steps waving the Big Eared Cup while celebrating like a madman in the manner of an individual that singlehandedly won the trophy by dint of his own efforts, to the exclusion of all the other lads who had merely played in the game and scored the goals that won it for Real Madrid and other fairly insignificant stuff like that''

I always disliked Mr Pepe for being a cheating horrible ***t who fouled opposition players, tried to get opponents sent off, diving, cheating, cheating, cheating, diving, and another bit of cheating after all that, but his sheer and utter shamelessness is after winning me over, he has managed something nobody previously thought possible, he has out shamelessnessed the nearly as equally horrible ***t JT by manner of his theatrically over the top celebrations post game. 

He was so fecking good at it, I would defy anyone (who didn't actually watch the game) to look at a replay of Mr Pepe walking down the steps of the stadium, waving the Big Eared Cup at the fans and somehow come to the conclusion that this individual actually (A) did not score the vital injury time equaliser that brought the game to extra time (B) Did not score either the goal that put Real Madrid ahead for the first time in the game, or the goal that finally sealed it for Real Madrid (C) Did not heroically save a penalty having gone in goal after Casillas was sent off in injury time (D) Did not play all of the 120 minutes plus injury time, accumulating a record 17 goal line clearances during the game + extra time. 

Mr Johnathan Terence, there is a new bar, and it has been set very fcuking high. Over to you. And as a measure of how high the bar is ?? Mr prancing, preening fairy boy celebrated wildly after his meaningless penalty, and as over the top as the celebration was (even picked up a deliberate booking, extra marks for that), it came nowhere near the celebrations of a chancer who had as much impact on the outcome of the game as I did watching it on the barstool. 

Quality post 

In the 90 minutes though, Atletico dominated Real for 75 minutes. Their midfield were massively on top until this point. Ronaldo and Benzema were anonymous, while Bale tried but could not find enough space to hurt Atletico. After this point it was clear that from midfield up Atletico were running on empty. They were out on their feet - the lack of a bigger squad over the season was always going to have an effect eventually. Especially when you play with such energy and pressing tactics in the midfield sector.

Make no mistake, Atletico were the better side in 90 minutes of play. It would have been an incredible achievement for Simeone and his squad if they hadn't conceded late on, but that's the joy of sport.

Also, the talk about men on the posts is just ludicrous. There are numerous factors taken into account when setting up for set pieces. Most teams find their system, refine it, and never change it during a season. Atletico have been exceptional all season at dealing with set plays. Yet in th last minute of the season people on ybig want some oaf to run back onto the post, going against their well trained system, in case the ball gets there. PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP.
