Ronaldo

Neesy's on the mark, incredibly.

That's typical of Spain, not Barcelona.

A team headed by Mourinho, and including Angel Di Maria and Cristiano Ronaldo forced into diving. Pratically Rape.

Doubt it, when they played in the final 2 years ago Man Utd dominated the first 10 minutes only to get schooled the other 80 and lose 2-0. How long had gone tonight before Pedro went for the oscar? Long after Di Maria went down lack a sack of s*** and conned the ref into booking Alves.

Agree with the above.

Games like this all depend on how Tiote plays, in a nutshell.

For the record, Madrid have turned in this type of performance on at least a dozen occasions this season. Only a foolish chap expected a free-flowing, open, attack-minded game tonight.

Football beats anti-football. Great night, let's get drunk.

Vamos Barca!

Does my head in that folk would be happy to have a 31-year-old has-been/never-was instead of a younger player with a bit of potential who'll also defend from the front instead of doing a disappearing act. And before anyone gives me any crap about Nile, there's got to be a couple of dozen youngish strikers in The Championship with far, far better technique and finishing abilities than Ranger. We got Leon Best for £2m or less and he's the best of our current bunch.

Frazzle's on a roll. He'll be telling you he's lost his virginity next.

Not a fan of Masch personally, but in the away leg it makes more sense for him to play. I'd take Masch over Keita anyday. Barcelona look half the team with Mascherano in there.

He's a huge Carrick fan, for some reason. In defence of Durham, it wasn't him who made the City comments, it was the wankers on in the morning - Parry and Graham if memory serves. Durham's a WUM but he's a football expert compared to Jason Cundy, Darren Gough, and Hawsky and Jacobs. None of them have a clue.

I was talking about Snodgrass as a replacement for Nolan, tbh. If not starting in place of him, coming on for the last 20 minutes - when Nolan is next to completely useless.

I wish people comprehend better about this fact :lol:

I've been to about 25 Leeds games over the past 3 years. He's a far better midfielder than all of our lot minus Tiote and Barton.

This is exactly the type of guff that screams "I don't watch football if it isn't Newcastle playing". Honestly, what an absolute load of tripe. It's the very fact that Snodgrass doesn't rely on pace that makes him more likely to succeed at a higher level.

Shearer was fucking useless in that game. Of all the players to interview, for crying out loud.

Completely different type of players. Both are far too good for The Championship.

I laughed when Carroll scored, I must say.

Been wanting us to sign Snodgrass for years. Very good player.

Yup. We won 1-0 there thanks to a lovely Steve Watson goal in the League Cup in 95-96.

Fine. But to say 'Krul is twice the keeper' is wide of the mark.

No chance.
