76 mins: Arsenal slowing things down even more now with some nice passing.....83 mins: It's now Porto's turn to pass around innocuously. If theres a goal in this game I'll eat my hat. .... 86 mins: This is reminiscent of that game in the '82 World Cup when Germany and Austria colluded to keep out the Algerians. Not that I'm suggesting any funny business.....87 mins: Guess what? More largely unchallenged passing around by Arsenal. In a minute they'll give it back to Porto to do the same....repeat to fade.....88 mins: Merciful god, please let this turgid display end....90 mins: Now Arsenal aren't even pretending to compete. Blow the whistle ref.....and hallelujah he does.

Guys don't know if you remember this one, with Monaco in season 97/98, they had their final group game with Leverkusen, it was 2-2 and if it stays like that they would both be through. In the last 10 minutes of the game, neither sides were willing to move the ball pass the halfway line. In the last 5 minutes, Fabien Barthez started off crouching, then he sat down, leaned on the post. The ref couldn't be bothered to play the injury time at the end.
I think we shouldn't assume that these are guarenteed money, because we have def seen it happened fairly often especially at the end of a season in italian football, those are by no means definate draws, all we could hope for is a conservative approach from both sides, and have some sort of "understanding" as the game goes on. The game would have been a lot more open if Hamburg were up by 3 at HT.

yes mate your right about that! Porto did hit the post 2 times! I guess this game could of have gone any way! :toast:
