Someone needs to start a real campaign against Ashley, similar to the Glazer one at MU. Sell some scarfs and give the campaign some distinct colors, Love United, Hate Ashley or something. Hes a disgrace.

no sprinklers? http://www.oleole.com/media/main/images/blogs/images/group1/subgrp369/blogimg_5295_73757-20100429134338783825.jpg Entertaining match, barca tore madrid a new one, well done Guardiola..

Ramos off, this is turning into a farce..

A whole city revolving around one club is one thing, but mixing football with politics and a civil war decades ago when you dont even live in Spain is just ridiculous, so all "Franco" comments are laughable.. ps. anyone else eagerly awaiting the sprinklers? they do turn them on instantly after every match right?

Unless people are living in catalonia or madrid and have emotional ties to this rivalry, i just think this political aspect is silly...

I just think the whole MES QUE UN CLUB wankathron is worse then the whole mourinho fanboyism. Add that to their bitterness less season and its easy to see through the hype. Madrid have been awful, and Barca are taking advantage along with some brilliant individual performances from their players, they have ridiculous talent in their squad..

You're right, big sam's style is pretty much the same as Mourinho's, you're an expert.

Boring, defensive, but clinical? I found Chelsea's Mourinho more entertaining to watch then Barca's four-hundred-passes-a-game style of football. Don't get me wrong, they've been amazing tonight, but sometimes its like watching handball. To each his own.

Madrid have no real leaders.. Pepe is like a child, Carvalho is clueless and only there for Mourinho and the money, Casillas can only have so much influence etc, its a group of individuals. It took José two seasons to mold Inter, although this game doesnt say who'll win la liga or the champions league, it might take more time before Real will look and play like a real Mourinho team..

Offside, shocking by the linesman..

Well Özil can go for a shower, he's been shit..

Jebus, went down like he was shot..

I constantly hear people praising Messi, for always being so humble yet so talented, and never diving.. They might be right, but somehow i cant stand his smug face... dont know why really

Krul would've held that..

His success with his teams is probably just built so heavily on his personal relationship with the players. I mean he seems get the utmost best out of the players he chooses to work with, gets rid of the rest. So when he leaves you have a group of players, with talent sure, but not no Mourinho that seems to tie the whole team together. Seems obvious sure but just underlines his amazing presence and why hes the best. Just look at Diego Milito today and what he's been saying recently in the press. Then again, its not hard to fuck things up when you inherit a team from Mourinho, especially if your name is Rafa Benitez

I kind of agree with the personal glory bit. It would be ungrateful not to appricate him bringing home the biggest award in club football, but he's made it clear before that he wants to be the first manager to win the english, italian and spanish leagues, then he's going to settle down in England. So until he gets SAF's seat, i'll agree hes in it for his personal glory. But he's still the best manager in the world atm. I hope he wins tonight, and pulls off another pitch invasion like he did last season, so Barca can turn on the sprinklers of bitterness again

They're calling for the jinx effect. Probably not fans of our team but the idea is that if you call a team/player useless, it/he goes on winning/scoring that exact game. Or they're just scum.

Guthrie not following the run there..

2-2 6 minutes extra time at least..

MU look shit against this Villa lineup thats full of kids..

Thanks i thought the drawing was hilarious and yet amazing.. i stole it from the guardian http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/SPORT/Pix/pictures/2010/11/10/1289405395124/Andy-Carroll-You-are-the--003.jpg

I had a dream about Shearer = we're gonna win fo sho. We'll be taking this fo sho..

We're playing with two giants upfront. Of course CH telling Jonas who likes to dribble the ball that some lack of balance resulting in a few free kicks wouldn't be bad at all,

No shit ofc it wasnt the same but when De Jong is around, they dont "just happen"..
