Just because some people reckon some on here go overboard with their praise doesn't mean they hate Barcelona. I certainly don't anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 love how Ronaldo has rolled in and shot his assumptive load all over the thread Have not read one post where anybody has claimed to be an expert on la liga. And regardless of that incredibly tedious point how do you judge whether somebody is qualified to post their opinion or not? Because you know, I'd like to see how you go about jumping to your epic (pointless) assumptions. At Ronaldo, obvs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 midds standard failed troll post. standard You're the one who can't see it how it is. Barcelona didn't need to win. Madrid did, the onus was on them yet Mourinho played with 8 men behind the ball from the off. If I was a Madrid fan I'd be fuming that he was afraid to go for it at their own ground. They had about 30% possession for the most part of the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 these barcelona fan-boys are so f***ing tedious Tedious? How about folk who watch virtually no Spanish football then suddenly become experts after watching El Clasico. This reminds of all the World Cup-only fans around here who were trying to debate me about " The Reel-Barka game" today. Everyone wants to pretend they know something. Motta's one last year is almost irrelevant as it was a joke of decision not too dissimilar to the favours that Barca was given at the same stage of the competition the year before. There is nothing any manager can do to prevent that. In the interests of balance, Milito's goal was a bit offside as well. There were many questionable and difficult decisions, but the red card was just so inexplicable that it stands out. I'll admit that I've hated Barca since the referees gifted them the CL two years ago. I have no idea why. I liked them before and was very happy when they won in 2006 CL/La Liga.

Either way, after every big Barcelona game you get the same arguments. Personally, I think most people like good football and Barcelona are a good example of this so its natural people will praise them, some people seem to dislike this for whatever reason.

Doesn't mean much like, especially considering Madrid had a player sent off with a decent chunk of the match left. Barcelona spent a lot of time in the first half at least just passing it around the middle third of the pitch. And ultimately the match was drawn anyway.

I just think some go a bit far with it, particularly those who cannot accept that others might prefer to watch a different, more direct style. As though Barcelona play the ultimate version of football and nothing else is worthy. To each their own IMO. I've frequently found the Real matches more entertaining to watch when the two are invariably on each weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 This thread. Bit pissed off that I missed this match because of a friend's engagement party, but IMO the league was lost to Madrid before this match (given their respective remaining fixtures). Only going on what I've read so far, but psychologically I'd be a happier Real Madrid fan than a Barcelona fan tonight. After the tonking they received at Camp Nou, a draw (with ten men for a long period) seems like a strong progression for Mourinho and his boys. I also understand they looked quite threatening. If there's one vulnerability Barcelona have looked susceptible to in the last few weeks, it's been strong counter-attacking football. I think their recent match against Sevilla was the best example of this, that I've seen personally. Could be interesting to see if Mourinho can stay defensively strong but capitalise on Barcelona's weakness against clinical counter-attacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, but a draw was more than enough for Barcelona given the teams' respective positions in the table. Why would they take unnecessary risks when they could just keep the ball for the majority of the match and take a point? The CL games will be very different.

Guest neesy111 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Barca got a draw, which wins them the league basically against the 2nd best team in world in there back-yard. How people can say that is a massive sign of weakness in a team is beyond me. Real HAD TO win tonight to stand any-chance of winning the league and they failed.
