Mourinho is also always guilty of one of my pet hates in football:

The condescending face pat.

Said that, surprised Alves isn't already lying on the ground there.

Ahhh, right

SHHEEEEAAARRERR

First I was like

Then I was more like

Is the brackets figures successful passes? If so that's only completed 28 passes in 96mins+ of football. That's ridiculous.

Nah, the 67 are the 42% that were completed

Both teams were as bad as each other. Amazes me how Barca don't get more stick for diving and cheating really.

 

It's pathetic watching Busquets do the same every week.

And Alves. He's one of the worst I've ever seen.

As soon as there is anything to play for they almost all turn into diving petty cheating cunts. It's the darkest side of football no doubt, ruins it.

Add to that clueless refs who pander to the cunts and we have one frustrating state of affairs.

like him as a character...hate his teams.(cheating,diving,time wasting,shirt pulling horrid pack of bastards to a man)

Fourthed basically.

Plus having to put up with his bullshit on a daily basis would soon get tiresome again if he came back to England. Him being abroad and people seeing less of him has no doubt romanticised what he is like.

No way am I watching that final either

Sounds like grotesquely petty football.

This sounds like a shocking dive fest! Glad I'm not watching it, would have wound me right up. Typical from this stage of competitions too. Be it CL or WC etc... Everyone just cheating like cunts instead of playing football. Ugh.

Ugh, fucking players disrespecting refs.

Meh, not much worse than seeing a ref compensate incompetence by authoritarianism.

Ugh, fucking self important Euro refs.

The source and numbers backing this up will be revealed some time next week.

Would love him here... but the nice hair can't make up for all the injuries. Just not worth it

If Ryan Giggs deserved it last season, then he should be given it this season too. All the same boxes are ticked.

No Lampard is pretty shocking indeed.

In before 1k 

He isn't a very good penalty taker though. Was rightly stripped of them when at Liverpool and there was no indication his technique had improved when taking them for us.

Have more faith in Shola from the spot.

Or eating through a straw....

Carroll did him a favour so he could get through the last few pounds!

About Saylor by the way, every recent photo I've seen of him I get the feeling he's lost some weight during his injury lay off compared to before January. Probably been in the gym more for his rehab.

Martins was frustrating at times, sure. But he's about as good as we could expect given our stature at the time and probably the kind of striker we'd be glad to have next season.

The intangibles people, you need to account for the intangibles.

And think of the children of course.

Looked blatant pen as it happened, but if the defender got the ball first...

Goals just been on.

Such a class header, and a brilliant pen by Shola as always.
