This is why people hate British commentators. Laughing

Apparently Gamberini is a current Italian international who played at the Confederations Cup this summer. rofl

Dossena is also an important Italian international. Laughing

Higuain booed as he warms up on the touchline. :brickwall:

Another penalty....

by The Franchise Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:43 pm

How was that a pen?

by Helmer Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:44 pm

just wasted 40 minutes of my life watching this BS game

by urbaNRoots Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:44 pm

Refereeing has been shocking, I'm not surprised Laughing

This Quintero kid looks pretty good.

by dostoevsky Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:45 pm

Exceedingly soft penalty but very well converted from Pandev. Honestly not sure if he thought Pandev had been pushed in the back - which would have been unbelievably harsh - or was caught by a stray leg - which he also wasn't.

New signing.

3 years from now some team would have paid 3 times what they paid for him im sure.

We were linked to him back in January, I almost wish we'd bought him simply because I know that in three years Porto will manage to sell him for 25 million. Laughing

Ref indicated the pen was for the push from Fernando. Soft penalty.

Porto reminding me a lot of ourselves so far. Lots of good possession but can't find a way through six or seven players camped on the edge of the area. They only managed one decent chance all half.

I cant believe more teams have not bought on to what Porto have done for like...over a decade.

Whenever they are linked to anyone....most clubs should look very closely at that player and try and steal in.

ht 1-0

napoli started off well but towards the end were pinned back in their own half. portos are getting nowhere though. well done to Napoli's defensive players

penalty was abit iffy. pandev should have scored that 1v1 he had but was too slow

by The Franchise Sun Aug 04, 2013 2:54 pm

Fernando gives away too many fouls....its still no penalty, but its been 3-4 years and he should learn by now.

David James talking crap...stick to goal keeping and shitty hair cuts.

Quality commentary. Next they'll be saying Pandev was an integral player in Inter's Champions League triumph.

Are people really upset that Arsenal didnt spend 35m on Higuain? Like really?

by EL Patron Sun Aug 04, 2013 3:04 pm

It's Emirates Cup... there are a lot of kids who don't really know what the situation was.

Agreed. I'd blame our scouts, but after all these years I'm not actually convinced we have any. Laughing

Beautiful goal, Quintero assist :bow:

1-1

by dostoevsky Sun Aug 04, 2013 3:07 pm

Great ball from Quintero to set Ghilas up for the equaliser, thoroughly deserved.

by The Franchise Sun Aug 04, 2013 3:07 pm

GOAL

Quintero with a great pass to Ghilas. Two new guys linking up.

Wonderful tackle by Mangala.

by EL Patron Sun Aug 04, 2013 3:09 pm

Great work by Quintero and good movement by Gillas

by The Franchise Sun Aug 04, 2013 3:09 pm

Go away with this nonesense. Football so soft nowadays.
