How greedy is Ronaldo man

You can tell what girls they all are that Ronaldo didn't even standout as a particularly whiny player first half.

Don't think it's a ridiculous opinion tbf. We did beat them earlier in the season (albeit when AC was in black and white). They're not invincible and we're not shite (except when we're facing shite, obviously). Not saying I'd put my house on us to get something, but it's not bonkers to believe we could get something.

Would love to see Uefa and Fifa impose a retrospective video evidence 3-match banning for all players diving in this game. Busquets would receive consecutive career bans. Ooh, some footballing action!

BUSQUETS!!

Di Maria has hit the dirt in that same spot about three times!

Surrounding the ref has caught on since its birth. ~ Pedro

Pretty much. No moral high ground in sight.

Holds it. Holds it. HOLDS IT.

Barca fan whinging that their opponents won't play the style of football they want. Shock horror.

Winners have been England, Spain, Italy, England, Spain, Italy (last six years). Might be ManUre's turn.

You can't have shaken your head and facepalm'd. It looks silly. A definite dream. [You're all trying, aren't you?]

Iniesta is out.

Shawcross 2-0

If all the Bs at the bottom had to get relegated or all the Ws, who would you prefer? I'd go for the Bs on the basis that they seem to take points off us quite frequently (or at least it feels that way). West Ham gave us six points. Wigan gave us four. Wolves gave us four. Keep 'em up!

Posters should be able to note their indifference tbf - otherwise the poll becomes unrepresentative of the forum

Aw!

Any bets available for for Real - Barca with respect to cards being shown etc?

This.

Sometimes Spurs play attractive football, no doubt. Increasingly their style of play reminds me of us when we had Carroll - long diagonal balls from the halfway line - except a bit shitter-looking with Crouch flailing around up top. Not exactly archetypal Stoke/Blackburn stuff, as I still attest, but certainly not as pleasing to the eye as some would have you believe.

G'wan Norwich!

Okay, I retract my experiences of meeting fans and talking to them.

Exactly. They feel 'hard done by' which is an incredible thing to think. They've been terrible at times. Most of the Arsenal fans I know are a reasonable bunch who know they're miles short in personnel but more than anything else are just frustrated at how simultaneously close and far away they are to winning silverware again. One of the more level-headed set of fans IMO

Grim day of football.

Prediction: Nile Ranger to score a hat trick. Tiote to break Carroll and receive a pass from the referee which he can use as an immunity from all yellow cards next season.
