El Clásico. Spanish Super Cup. 2nd Leg 10pm BST tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be a good one. Sky's programme starts at 20:55 BST I believe. SS1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scott Minto is presenting. Mark Bolton was let go I think, bloody idiots.

[Cripps_orig]

Football presenter Mark Bolton is to leave Sky Sports

Writing on his @BoltonMark Twitter page, he said: "After sixyears, the season just past will be my final one presenting Spanish football for Sky Sports. My current Sky contract expires in August and I will not be renewing it.

"Spanish football enjoys greater popularity now than ever and whilst sad to leave a product for which I have great affection, I am proud to have played a significant role in its development over the past few years. I am grateful to Sky Sports for their support in allowing me to do so.

He has also said on twitter: "I did not want to leave Sky Sports. They did not want to renew my contract. Ask them why."

"Having expressed a long-felt desire to take on new challenges, I have concluded these will be more successfully pursued outside of Sky Sports. I wish the team every success," he said.



Sky :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid: Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Marcelo, Alonso, Khedira, Di Maria, Oezil, Ronaldo, Benzema.

Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Mascherano, Abidal, Adriano, Thiago, Keita, Iniesta, Messi, David Villa, Sanchez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema header, what a save by Valdes. I thought that was in.

[Cripps_orig]

Real started well here.

Good save from Valdes.

Bit gutted i can only see up to half time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Oezil! Brilliant play by Benzema.

[Cripps_orig]

OZILLLLLLLLl

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo shot, Valdes had his nearpost well covered, as you'd hope from a goalkeeper.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca. :lol: Hoof the ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Khedira grazes Abidal's head with his boot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty not given against Abidal, it probably wasn't deliberate handball. Bit clumsy though.

Khedira booked.

[hobson's choice]

This game is showing that they actually need Cesc, cause if Xavi gets hurt, they don't have anyone that control the game like Xavi. Iniesta aint nowhere near that player.

[Cripps_orig]

1-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 David Villa, what a goal!

Messi. :bow:

[hobson's choice]

What a goal

[Darth Vela]

Apparently, his eye for goal would make a cyclops jealous.

Ray Hudson is a genius.

[hobson's choice]

Ray Hudson

:bow::bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What the hell were Barca doing there? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Messi. He is incredible.

[Cripps_orig]

Thank god im only watching the first half

[Darth Vela]

Good god.

Real must be feeling awful, dominate for 45 minutes but still 2-1 down.

[hobson's choice]

Benzema and Pepe:haha::haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 half time, Real Madrid have been much better, yet they are losing.

[Cripps_orig]

Sanchez is a bit shit.

[Master Splinter]

Sanchez is a bit shit.

Messi probably makes up for that.

How's Thiago playing so far? Showing his Cesc-benching form?

[Darth Vela]

I'd give him a few weeks to settle in rather than judging him on his first El Clasico but yeah, he's been pretty poor.

[hobson's choice]

How's Thiago playing so far? Showing his Cesc-benching form?

Been shit along with his fellow CM's.

[Darth Vela]

Messi probably makes up for that.

How's Thiago playing so far? Showing his Cesc-benching form?

Safe to say, not. No Xavi and Busquets (twat) in their midfield and no Pique at the back has left them decidedly directionless.

[Marc Overmars]

Reports that Cesc could play in the 2nd leg of this.

Would like to see that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Reports that Cesc could play in the 2nd leg of this.

Would like to see that.

You're normally not allowed to play in the second leg of a tie if you weren't eligible for the first but then, I guess this is still pre-season really.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Thank god im only watching the first half

How comes

[Darth Vela]

Reports that Cesc could play in the 2nd leg of this.

Would like to see that.

Hmm, tasty debut alright.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Reports that Cesc could play in the 2nd leg of this.

Would like to see that.

Why not he'll be on the bench not long after, all it is just to say we got him thats all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pretty good play by Sanchez there.

[hobson's choice]

Marcelo:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amazing control from Messi there. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago is more involved now. Makes you sick.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why not he'll be on the bench not long after, all it is just to say we got him thats all.

Fabregas won't be sitting on any bench, wait and see. Plus this move will see him become a starter in the national team. I always got the impression he was being deliberately overlooked because he was outside the fold. That will all end now and within a year he'll be one of the major world superstars in world football. He's a top, top quality player and it's an almost incalculably massive blow for our club we've lost him. It makes us look so small time. It's impossible to replace him like for like as there are no players in the world as good as him who are available. So we can only hope Wenger spends the ludicrously tiny transfer fee we got for him in other areas that we most certainly can improve. He probably won't though. We can all be angry at Fabregas for the way he's behaved, the anger is more than justified because in the cold light of day he fucked us over. Not by leaving, but by failing to give 100% while wearing the captain's armband over the last two years. You'll see that change in a big way now he's moved to Spain. No point pretending he's not a great player because he just is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coentrao on for Di Maria.

2-2 Alonso!

[Darth Vela]

Thiago is more involved now. Makes you sick.

He's making Pepe look like a 3-legged giraffe.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alonso 2-2, the guy we wouldn't pay and extra £2mill for.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alonso 2-2, the guy we wouldn't pay and extra £2 for.

Probably more accurate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema heads across goal. Valdes went walkabout.

Pepe. :bow: Takes out Dani Alves.

[Darth Vela]

Alonso 2-2, the guy we wouldn't pay and extra £2mill for.

That is the one thing about our austerity policy that makes me sick, to miss out on a guy of the quality for such a small amount is incredible, even for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Callejon on for Khedira.

[Niall_Quinn]

Jeez, does Benzema ever look up? He had a man wide open in front of goal there but kept his forehead stuck to the ball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adriano off, Pique on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano booked. Real Madrid have a freekick in a dangerous area.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That is the one thing about our austerity policy that makes me sick, to miss out on a guy of the quality for such a small amount is incredible, even for us.
How close were you actually from signing Alonso though? I've read nothing (granted I've never actively looked) that says you were all-but £2m from signing him other than the inevitable tabloid articles where everyone is literally hours from signing.

I'm just glad we didn't swap him for Barry; even if it did mean losing him a year later.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wide from Ronaldo.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wow, Ronaldo was close with that FK, keeper nowhere.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes denies Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema header, straight at Valdes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Watched Chelsea, Utd and Barca today. Of the three, if I had to pick just one, I'd want Barca to lose. I'm even sitting here hoping Ronaldo scores. Crazy, to loathe a team that much. But I do.

[Master Splinter]

How close were you actually from signing Alonso though? I've read nothing (granted I've never actively looked) that says you were all-but £2m from signing him other than the inevitable tabloid articles where everyone is literally hours from signing.



Exactly. Just because Balague and Sky Sports tell you something, doesn't mean it's true.

Just like we never actually offered anything for Mata this summer.

Also, Barry :lol:.

[Niall_Quinn]

Benzema header, straight at Valdes.

He looks ordinary enough to play for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo shot, deflected just wide. Valdes was scrambling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo scuffs another one.

[Darth Vela]

How close were you actually from signing Alonso though? I've read nothing (granted I've never actively looked) that says you were all-but £2m from signing him other than the inevitable tabloid articles where everyone is literally hours from signing.

I'm just glad we didn't swap him for Barry; even if it did mean losing him a year later.

It seems to be generally accepted but that's not worth too much, is it? I remember there being a relatively good source for it at the time but can't remember what it was.

Not much help I'm afraid.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's the story that came out after everything was done and dusted. True or false? It's as true or false as any other football story. However, what's certain is we should have signed him whatever the cost. That one signing could have transformed so many things at this club. Plus there's the £10mill Jagielks antics that support the generally accepted theory Wenger is a fucking tight wad. Still, we went on to get the likes of Chamakh and Squillaci so it hasn't all been so fucking horrendous you could rip your own arse out and wear it as a hat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa off, Pedro on.

Pedro. :bow: Even though he is falling foul of their corrupting influence now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe. :lol:

I'd love to hear what the instructions Mourinho set out for him are in these games.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

phil thompson on saturday said we offered £12m but rafa wanted £16m for alonso. we wouldnt pay more.

he ended up going for £30m.

another stupid mistake by arsene.

[Niall_Quinn]

phil thompson on saturday said we offered £12m but rafa wanted £16m for alonso. we wouldnt pay more.

he ended up going for £30m.

£16mill would have been daylight robbery for a world class player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bloody hell Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema off, Higuain on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes comes out for the ball, parries it out. Ronaldo was running across and it looked like Valdes caught him as he was moving across. Hmm.

[Niall_Quinn]

Stonewall pen for Real - ref ignores it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Callejon fires one right across goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good recovery from Marcelo, Pedro nearly killed them.

[Niall_Quinn]

Looked like a pen for the cuntalans, Pedro taken down. Ref ignores it. Probably evening things up. Shame he can't just apply the rules.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 full time, good game. On to Wednesday. :popcorn:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It seems to be generally accepted but that's not worth too much, is it? I remember there being a relatively good source for it at the time but can't remember what it was.

Not much help I'm afraid.
Oh well.

There's no guarantee he wouldn't have moved to Madrid a year or two later any way :lol:

Though for probably less than you bought him...

[Darth Vela]

:lol:

Too true.

[Joker]

Sky :doh:

Can't believe they sacked Bolton :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get rid of the guy who actually challenges what Balague says. Scott Minto will just suck it all up probably.

Also, Sky's programme starts at 21:55 BST on SS2. Cesc could well be fit for this one as was reported before he left.

2-2 from the first leg. :popcorn:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Barca to wrap up their first trophy, cant see Real pulling this around. . .will give it a decent try tho･

[Marc Overmars]

Cesc taking 1 game to equal his Arsenal trophy count. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Get rid of the guy who actually challenges what Balague says. Scott Minto will just suck it all up probably.

Also, Sky's programme starts at 21:55 BST on SS2. Cesc could well be fit for this one as was reported before he left.2-2 from the first leg. :popcorn:

Oh ge will be and if barca win they let him lift the trophy up and all that.

Come on Real twat those twats

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

cesc on the bench tonight.

cant even make the line up when half their midfielders are injured :lol:

enjoy your stay there.

[Cripps_orig]

Cesc :haha:

Also annoyed this didnt start at 9pm like Sunday cos i could have at least watched the first half. Now i cant watch any.

Cunts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona: Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Abidal, Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Pedro, Messi, David Villa.

Real Madrid: Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho, Coentrao, Khedira, Xabi Alonso, Di María, Ronaldo, Özil, Benzema.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gerry Armstrong and Balague in the studio.

Scott Minto is presenting again. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo shot, parried away by Valdes. Barcelona all over the place.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very close. Casillas had to save it with a sliding tackle. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Iniesta! What a brilliant pass by Messi. Brilliant run before that too. Unbelievable.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Cesc :haha:

Also annoyed this didnt start at 9pm like Sunday cos i could have at least watched the first half. Now i cant watch any.

Cunts

I see Cescs Injury healed lol

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes comes out to deny Khedira, misses him. Khedira fluffs the cutback and Benzema fluffs the finish. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid, Ronaldo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Casillas to deny Pedro.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ronaldo :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The speed Barcelona can pass at is insane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo shot saved by Valdes, tipped on to the bar I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Khedira booked.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Is it too much to ask for a big fucking meteorite to hit that stadium and vaporise everyone in it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Oezil, made it relatively easy for Valdes to parry it away.

[GP]

Is it too much to ask for a big fucking meteorite to hit that stadium and vaporise everyone in it?

Everyone bar Messi, who is so stunned by the turn of events that he wants to join Arsenal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is it too much to ask for a big fucking meteorite to hit that stadium and vaporise everyone in it?

Yeah it would, because this has been a brilliant football match so far. Do it after the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta should be booked really, just took Di Maria out. :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Everyone bar Messi, who is so stunned by the turn of events that he wants to join Arsenal.

But that would kill Bendtner!!

You're a genius!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi. :lol: He has to be imported from a football game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi through on goal shoots and Casillas saves with his legs again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-1 Real Madrid, Messi! Stunning one-two between he and Pique.

[Niall_Quinn]

Messi again 2-1.

Looking at both these teams I couldn't be 100% sure we'd beat either in a CL final.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 half time, very good game.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Messi again 2-1.

Looking at both these teams I couldn't be 100% sure we'd beat either in a CL final.

I don't know how you can look yourself in a mirror and call yourself a fan.

[Niall_Quinn]

I don't know how you can look yourself in a mirror and call yourself a fan.

I'm entitled, and proud of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi again 2-1.

Looking at both these teams I couldn't be 100% sure we'd beat either in a CL final.

At least the final appearance is nailed on.

[The Realist]

just seen this on twitter:

"Don't know which is better seeing Messi's goal or watching Cesc rot on the bench "

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo on for Khedira.

[Marc Overmars]

These one-twos, the swift passing, it's dynamite in 5-a-side.

But 11? Takes the piss how good they are.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo and Ronaldo booked. Messi went down pretty easily, unless he was kicked in the nuts.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL, Mourinho waving his hand across his nose and screwing up his face as Messi walks past.

[Cripps_orig]

Wtf?

First thing i see is Messi diving even though all Marcelo was jump for the ball.

Despicable

[Niall_Quinn]

just seen this on twitter:

"Don't know which is better seeing Messi's goal or watching Cesc rot on the bench "

:haha:

Was hardly likely he'd start just a few days after arriving. Not sure how it benefits us in any way whether he sits on the bench or not. We've plenty of other things to be worried about.

[Cripps_orig]

Was hardly likely he'd start just a few days after arriving. Not sure how it benefits us in any way whether he sits on the bench or not. We've plenty of other things to be worried about.

Come on.

Arsenal fans have f all to be happy about these days. Let us have this

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF Pedro?

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Messi kicks the ball away

Was he booked?

Like fuck. Its disgusting.

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on.

Arsenal fans have f all to be happy about these days. Let us have this

I guess the real test of what you think about a player is when you see him play. If he comes on I hope he does well, sad thing is I'm more interested to see him play than watch any of our lot. Same can't be said for that Man City cunt Nasri, don't know why the fucker is still hanging around our place. Why doesn't he fuck off and live outside City's stadium until the deal is done? He could even bum some more cash of passers-by. You can never have enough cash.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL Messi flattened again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe booked. :lol: He obviously received the go-ahead from Mourinho just like the first leg after half time.

[Cripps_orig]

Only reason im watching is to see Cesc come on and hoping he gets taken out Pepe style :pray:

Speaking of which, he is booked :rolleyes:

Ref is a cunt

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good freekick from Messi, not the greatest header from David Villa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria off, Higuain on.

[Cripps_orig]

Higuain :bow:

We should make a £25m bid for him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Iniesta. Messi shot, well kept out from Casillas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance from Busquets, could've been dangerous otherwise for Real Madrid.

[Niall_Quinn]

Higuain :bow:

We should make a £25m bid for him

Why? Is his price £27mill?

[Cripps_orig]

Pique cheating

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe. :haha:

He's clearly told to just go out and kick the shit out of everyone.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pique cheating

Sun is hot.

[Cripps_orig]

FFS Benzema

Get it on target.

Good chance that

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema had lots of time there, completely fluffs the volley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Ramos.

[Cripps_orig]

Come on Ramos.

Youre better than that

[Cripps_orig]

Adriano is due

Cesc :haha:

These commentators are obsessed with Messi :sleep:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adriano on, David Villa off.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pathetic pirouette dive by Abidal.

[Cripps_orig]

Pepe is awesome

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramos booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Adriano being a big blouse. Get's barged and goes down holding his head. Twat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oezil off, Kaka on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc is coming on...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Absolute chaos! 2-2, Benzema!

[Niall_Quinn]

2-2 Even Benzema couldn't miss that!

[Cripps_orig]

Benzemaaaaaaaaaaaa

Wtf? i wrote that in capitals

[Niall_Quinn]

Fabregas on.

[Cripps_orig]

We should get Benzema

[Niall_Quinn]

Fabregas to score the winner in his first game and against Madrid? Wouldn't bet against it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc ran in to Pique.

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

We should get Benzema

Agreed, he's shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coentrao booked.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Wow, he's come on at 82 mins.

I bet he cant wait for his 10 mins of fame each week.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Busquets off, Keita on.

[Cripps_orig]

Agreed, he's shit.

Sarcasm?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-2 Messi! What a strike.

[Cripps_orig]

3-2

Messi tap in.

No doubt people will think its a great goal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It was another one-two. Ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

Messi, it's just fucking brilliant stuff. Fabregas, Messi, Adriano, Messi, goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

3-2

Messi tap in.

No doubt people will think its a great goal

No doubt at all.

[KSE Comedy Club]

3-2

Messi tap in.

No doubt people will think its a great goal

It was on the volley tbf.

Cesc started the move too :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casillas' legs deny Messi his hat-trick.

Four added minutes.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

3-2 Messi!

What a strike.


3-2

Messi tap in.

No doubt people will think its a great goal

:lol:

[Grebbo]

Cesc started the move too :(

We should be happy for him. It's an amazing opportunity to play in that team. He served us well.

[Cripps_orig]

We should be happy for him. It's an amazing opportunity to play in that team. He served us well.

Id be more happy for him if he actually gave a fuck about us in the last 18 months he was here.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We should be happy for him. It's an amazing opportunity to play in that team. He served us well.

Like feck we should, he's a barca cunt now, nothing to do with Arsenal so he can feck off tbh, Great player when he was with us though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo sent off.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Punch-up time. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

It was on the volley tbf.

Cesc started the move too :(

It was right in front of goal.

Id have scored that tbh

What a surprise. Ref sends off a Real player.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Handbags!

[Niall_Quinn]

Who did he flatten, Fabregas?

[Niall_Quinn]

More reds coming out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pinto sent off again?

Oezil has gone postal.

[Cripps_orig]

Marcelo is a fucking legend

[Niall_Quinn]

Marcello, horrible scissor tackle, deserved red.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho pinched someones ear.

:blink:

[Cripps_orig]

Who else was sent off?

[KSE Comedy Club]

Ozil I think

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

hopefully cescs done his knee ligaments in and he's out for 9 months.

and mourinho :lol: what a legend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-2 full time, Barca win 5-4 on aggregate. Real Madrid have been above excellent for the two matches yet still can't get the better of them.

[Niall_Quinn]

3-2 FT, good game, good punch up.

[Cripps_orig]

hopefully cescs done his knee ligaments in and he's out for 9 months.

and mourinho :lol: what a legend.

:gp:

3-2 FT but the best bit of the match was the cunt being taken out

[KSE Comedy Club]

Cesc wins a trophy 2 days after joining barca.

Its depressing how shit we are tbh.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fabregas, 1 match, 1 trophy, LOL.

[Cripps_orig]

Cesc wins a trophy 2 days after joining barca.

Its depressing how shit we are tbh.

Its a pre season game tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabregas, 1 match, 1 trophy, LOL.

We can get him back on loan now, he wanted to win trophies, he has done it.

[GunnerFan4Life]

Couple of days in barcelona and fabregas has won more than he did in the last 5 years at arsenal, pha!

-this just written onto my facebook. keep calm...keep calm....

[KSE Comedy Club]

Its a pre season game tbhYeh but as big cunts as they are, you know its just the start for them again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Its a pre season game tbh

We'll win the Emirates Cup next year, even without him. The he'll be fucking sorry.

[Cripps_orig]

Yeh but as big cunts as they are, you know its just the start for them again.

Nah Barca are on the wane tbh.

Dont think they'll win the league this season.

Its a shame i missed most of the game. Only saw the last 2 goals. Benzemasa quality turn and finish and Messis tap in

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Cesc wins a trophy 2 days after joining barca.

Its depressing how shit we are tbh.

Its like the Charity sheild no one gives a shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Its like the Charity sheild no one gives a shit.

Wish we could win the charity shield.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Its like the Charity sheild no one gives a shit.

Based on the three games I have seen I'd say that isn't true.

No The trophie was won for him tbh, and of corse he was going to win trophy's with them its Barcelona lol best team in the world today.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Based on the three games I have seen I'd say that isn't true.

They played twice

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They played twice

:doh:

I'm including the Community Shield...

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I'm including the Community Shield...

Oh, Never really watched the games so can't coment on the quality on them, but it was rivals who played so they would take it serious.

Fuck it, coffee went everywhere, all up the fucking walls, over the screen

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Uefa are disgrace the way they are treating Jose Mourinho, while the Barca cunts get away with it again.

[Kaiser]

Brilliant game, with the customary brawl. Highly entertaining. Pepe is fast becoming my favourite player in Spain. Total nutcase, hard as nails, brilliant player and goes in with two-footers on most occasions.

[Niall_Quinn]
