Probably started to say 'Shelvey' and realised his mistake.

"Heroes" bar.

Bale's a cracking player but to win the PFA Player of the Year award is a bit of a pisstake. This is what happens when they do the vote after about 15 games of the season. Silly decision.

True though. In control for most of the time and cruising. Didn't have to force things as they never had to win tonight. Real only bombed on when they were getting a bit desperate towards the end, knowing they HAD to win to stand a chance of winning the League. They failed. In control of the ball but not threatening, nor really playing direct enough for my liking AND it backfired as predicted... Barcelona are the best footballing side in the world, but they waste themselves in the way they approach games some times. Aye I bet Barca are kicking themselves tonight at it backfiring for them. They won the League tonight. In Madrid.

Barca did enough. The football equivalent of holding a midget at arms length tonight.

messi did snap at the end Wasn't the only one. Hope you enjoyed the game any way.

Hit a nerve perhaps?

Job done. One trophy in the bag.

That's fantastic.

Nice try. Best thing is that Madrid KNOW it's men against boys. Shit scared of Barca, they're fucking shit scared of Barca....

Men against boys. Can barely remember Valdes touching the ball.

Now rub their fucking noses in it.

poh! all you've done is made a coherent statement out of my earlier rant. Didn't see it. Great minds though.

Makes the players who do it look like complete pricks but if the refs are too weak to let it pass then why shouldn't they? Refs are human and if players can influence them, drip by drip, by asking for cards then I can understand why they do it. Got far more of an issue with the refs who allow it rather than the players who do it tbh.

Don't think for a second that Pardew particularly wanted to play Coloccini in the middle of the park but he decide that it was the 'least shit' option given the players he had available. Coloccini is a good player and is more than capable of doing a decent job in there but it didn't work out. Can't be slagged for that surely?

He's not our player any more. Have found it surprisingly easy to disassociate him from us. Far more concerned with who we're going to replace him with this summer....

Badly needs regular football to develop him and keep him occupied. Send the little shit to Hartlepool or Rochdale for a season.

Never fails to surprise me when he acts like a cunt that his behaviour is suddenly interpreted as 'mind games'. It's not mind games or anything like it - he's simply a cunt. Good manager like, but a cunt all the same.

Supply and demand. If the demand is there then why shouldn't they take the piss - people will buy 'em. Totally prices out the kids unless mam and dad are rich enough to pay for them, which being in the location it is, they invariably are. The new rules regarding clubs only spending what they earn are about to kick in so teams like Chelsea need to maximise the income. Hiking the ticket prices up was always going to happen. They won't be the last club to do it either....

God, I'm glad we got promoted straight away. We'd already been promoted by this time last year btw.

Is that purchasable?

Milan were a machine. Perfect blend of youth/experience and discipline/flair. Best 'team' I've seen but this Barca team play better football for the neutral.

They were flogging them in Denmark when I was over there during the World Cup, was tempted but its just too red and white to wear. Scandanavian mackems.

Go along with that. Milan were better defensively but Barca are awesome going forward. Would have been a superb match. Aye. Would have been class to see Maldini, Baresi, Costacurta and Tassotti up against Barcelona's attacking finesse. I think Milan would have stifled them like Inter did this time last year but I'm not sure. Would have fancied Van Basten/Gullit to notch too.
