Definitely something fishy about it.

It gets hard at the thought of banging Shakira when he gets home.

usually madrid are bad and i'm no fan of theirs but tonight while madrid were bad for it barca were far worse imho Pedro and Busquets were arses, just like Di Maria was. Marcelo getting in a tantrum whenever a player wasn't booked, Valdes waving an imaginary card, Ramos continuing to be a prize twat... they were all twats. Which is a shame, because they're all damn talented. Well, Ramos aside.

He knew he would have 2 or 3 players around him every time he picked up a ball yet I don't think he got flustered once. It was hypnotic.

Even the timeless Ryan Giggs got involved.

FIFA's just a game, silly.

For somebody who's so mythical with words and mindgames it's sounding a lot like he has cracked. His fake laughing/smiling tonight was so awkward to watch. He doesn't crack much but it looks like he has.

Mourinho needs to have a lie down. "...disgusted at the world we live in." "No one has any chance against Barca like this." I sense just a hint of bitterness in the 2nd comment.

Are people just ignoring Madrid's equally pathetic antics? They were as bad as each other man.

Nani? Rooney? Yes, now Barca will be totally justified in diving about in the final. That's actually exactly what he said.

They were both as bad as each other when it came to the playground antics, which was a shame to see. But the biggest shame about tonight is Mourinho can hide behind a debatable red card to avoid questions about his pathetically negative tactics.

As much as it's not good to watch, Mourinho's hardly going to willingly open up. If Barca are on top form, they can still win tonight. But I think Iniesta will be a big miss.

That backline of Madrid's looks very vulnerable. 5-3-2 or is Pepe playing as a DM?

Racist.

Not a fan of Masch personally, but in the away leg it makes more sense for him to play.

How much of ITV's coverage will be about Man Utd do you reckon? I'm expecting, at least in that half an hour preview show: Real-Barca, IT'S A BIG GAME THIS! Man Utd were class last night Ronaldo and Messi are good. Xavi doesn't get the credit he deserves (sigh) MOURINHO Also there's this player called Pedro, he's good Can Man Utd beat either of these 2 teams? MOURINHO

Oh, aye. Completely forgot about him, whoops. In which case, Puyol and who at CB? Busquets?

So what's it looking like tonight? Who's going to play at left back for Barca? Something like: Valdes, Alves, Busquets, Puyol, Pique, Mascherano, Xavi, Keita, Pedro, Messi, Villa perhaps?

What is your financial situation like, VI? I know that may seem a daft question but do you have the money to go after few good signings? 2 or 3 good quality players who don't mind rotating a bit would make you pretty damn awesome.

Let me give you some advice...

Think I might just do a couple of in play bets tonight - just can't tell whether Mourinho will have a go or not.

Really looking forward to the game tonight. It'll be intriguing to see if Mourinho has a go at Barca a la Inter last year in the SF 1st leg.

waiting to see barce's line up before betting on this. may well wait till in play. Not touching Barca. Jose, one way or another, is equipped to beat them, or at least avoid defeat. 3-0 to Barca it is.

Thought he was almost certainly off to Bayern Munich?

That sounds like a story you need to expand on! I could write a book on that day to be honest mate. Do a madras How would that help?
