Way to go... you're the Puto Amo both of you :laugh:
donkey of the match goes to Pepe, closely followed by Marcelo and Sergio Ramos.
Mou was lucky to end up with 10 on the pitch.
Messsssiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!

Mourinho can do wonders :crazy:
A team with a budget of €450M / year ends up playing anti-football with a touch of kick boxing. :rolleyes:
I would be dissapointed if this team wasn't Real Madrid :D :D
What? Playing with Spain's national team? I guess you missed the WORLD CUP in which Messi scored ZERO goals and took Argentina NOWHERE. :s mokin:Quote:

I didn't hear him scream, but the scene certainly brought back memories of a recent Holland-Spain match. Anti-football + Taekwondo vs positive football. A deserved red card for anyone except AS and hard-core Real Madrid fans.Quote:

At least Pedrito didn't hold his jaw when he got stamped on by Marcelo (in my view another red card :p )
I've played football for 25 years and I have never done any theatrics on field.Football is a man's game and if Alvez was man enough to get up right away and accept the fact that Pepe didn't touch him,there wouldn't even be a yellow card.Quote:

I have never ever seen a group of players cry so much,EVER.
Read Adebayor's comments on the football theatrics of Barca,sums it up well.
I'm not a Madrid fan btw,I have a dislike for the current Spanish football,Hierro and co was more my cup of tea. I've known some ladies that played tougher than Barca does,now that's saying something.
you call those northern lasses ladies? Now that's saying something :pQuote:

About this game in particular, that the great Real went in completely on the defensive hoping for a lucky strike like Ronaldo's great goal in the Cup, how they were happy with 28% posession, at home in the mythical Bernabeu of all places, is well beyond me. It wasn't just corrupt refs, it was football justice.
I'm looking forward to a great return match, with Real obliged to play how they can and should. :)

It wouldn't have been a red card in the Premiership. Or maybe against any other team other than Barca.Quote:

Pepe went in to challenge for a ball that he was entirely entitled for. It was a foul buti t was the reaction of Alvez that got him sent off, not the challenge. Like it or not, football is a contact sport. Barca players fall over wounded everytime someone touches them.Quote:

Vamos Barca! :D
The big night in the championship is tonight - getting nervous...
Yes indeed, I can't wait . . . .Quote:

It was a nasty challenge but it wasn't overly high and it wasn't overly reckless or late. As JB said it's not a red card in the Premiership and I don't think that it would warrant a red card in most Champions League games either. I don't buy into the conspiracy thing but that wasn't a red card offence.Quote:

IMHO Barca's continuous theatrics are a disgrace to football in general.
We did it - we are Premier League !!
Even if he didn't touch him, it was reckless, late, and high enoughhttp://www.motorsportforums.com/foru...om/2wddquq.jpg...Quote:

Please provide some evidence to your allegation, otherwise this talk is just as empty. Have you been a ref? Can you imagine how hard task this is? Mistakes can happen, players and teams in general are provoking at any cost.Quote:

It really wasn't that late, it's a nano-second between getting the ball and getting the man. That's not more than a yellow card, it's in the middle of the pitch and it's from the front.Quote:

I realize that most people in forums scream source?evidence? etc My only evidence is my experience. You see black,I see white, lets agree to disagree.
Happy Barca went through. San Casillas saved them in the first half :)
Sorry Madrid had a valid goal disallowed... I guess at least it gives Mou something to moan about. :p
Have you been a ref? Btw, I see black&white as your somments are one-sided.Quote:

Love that Barcelona got through, would have felt wrong to see Madrid in the final seeing as they didn't seem to want to play proper football, despite having a superb squad.
However is it just me or is Mascherano the biggest jessie around? For someone that spends a lot of his game taking chunks out of people and playing the hard man he seems to roll around on the floor a lot. Such a shame that Barca still jump around so much but I suppose that Moanrinho says "they're going to try and pass it round you, give 'em a kicking" and Pep says "they're going to try and kick you, jump on the floor if they get near you." The real victims of this are those of us at home, such a shame that Madrid took such a tanking earlier in the season that they seem scared to try and compete with Barcelona on a footballing level.
A ref huh? I've been a player for 25 years and it's natural for me to say that refereeing is easy,as I understand that most refs have never played the game.Quote:

The game of football is simple for people that have played it since they started walking. black&white thingie
I've been playing handball since I was a little kid, stopped when I had a nasty injury after playing for more than 18 years. I was a fool when I let people talk me into refereeing. Playing was easy compared to refereeing. When I started ref career I thought the same as you - oh boy was I wrong! I would suggest you to start refereeing a few games, then move up to a higher level. You cannot know it, if you haven't experienced it.Quote:

So it will be a Man Utd v Barca final at Wembley after United breezed past Schalke 6-1. :)
Manchester United and Barcelona have dominated the Champions League for the past few years. The stats between them are incredible.
Man Utd have reached 3 of the last 4 finals (2008, 2009, 2011), Barcelona have reached 3 of the last 6 (2006, 2009, 2011).
Both have 3 European Cups wins, which seems less than what you'd expect from these too huge clubs.
It hurts me to say, as a Man Utd fan, that Barcelona will win. Barcelona are a better side than they were 2 years ago and Man Utd are arguably worse than they were two years ago. But Man Utd have the best defence in Europe and Rooney, Carrick, Hernandez, Nani, Giggs, Valencia and Nani are all in superb form. Lets hope that the players decide the winner and not the ref.
