I guess Jose will go on about the red card. Which tbh he does this time have some argument.
probably was just a booking. but he went in with the studs up.

but im delighted that Barcelona over came this anti football. im not saying they are angels. Busquets in particular makes sick the way he carries on but they stay true to their philosophy and make every effort to play football at all times.

Thie Mourinho coached Real Madrid team is a disgrace to that clubs history and tradition. All that money spent on the likes of Ronaldo and Kaka and this is what Mourinho produces. Kaka doesnt even get a game. he has Higuain, Benzeam and Adebayor on the bench and starts the game with no recognised striker. When the time comes to bring one on, he opts for Adebayor even though the other two are superior footballers. He went for Adebayor because he poses the greatest threat on set pieces and they can lump it up to him. that was his plan to win this game.

What was Mourinhos idea, anyone can explain this to me? I mean, did he really think a draw would do it and then they would beat Barca away? Im confused.

1st half of the Madrid Barca game was horrid to watch. Then Messi scored the 1st, then he scored that beauty of a goal. Amazing how the rest of Barca players just walked around and watched like they knew what was coming.

the same idea he had in the copa del rey final last week. stop Barcelona playing their game by any means necessary and nick a goal on the counter attack or from a set piece.

I'm guessing so. How can you start a game with no striker. You have C.Ronaldo, Kaka, Higuian, Ozil, Benzema, Di Maria. World class attacking talent and he decided to park the bus.

No, obviously not the same idea.

Last week they attacked Barca from the very beginning of the game. This time they did, well, nothing.

yes they did. counter attacking. the game plan was pretty much the same

the difference was that Barcelona were poor last week hence giving Real Madrid opportunities to catch them on the break. Barcelona were alot better right from the start last night so maybe that explains why Real Madrid werent attacking as much. Also their attacking players werent as good last night i thought. Ozil was poor. Di Maria played excellent on wednesday but wasnt as good last night. Ronaldo was left isolated alot of the time.

the line up was pretty much the same except Diarra came in for Khedira and Albiol played last night

^^he will be sacked i think.

Remember, there was a feud between himself and Valdano too. Not sure if Valdano is still there though.

anyway, Abidal coming on there at the end was great. Hopefully thats what the headlines are. That and a deserved Barcelona win,

Mourinho pulling another publicity stunt there tonight.

it always has to be all about him.

disgraceful cunt.

What did he do? I couldn't watch another Barca Vs Real match. I am bored of both of them. I'd like Barca to lose in the final. But I don't hold too much hope.

This match was better than the previous ones to be fair.

Jose decided not to turn up at the Nou Camp and watched it from a hotel.

OK. Man United got through easily. Anderson obviously enjoyed the night.

But the important bit.

What did Ferguson do to his hair? Has he finally allowed his natural grey to come through?

Porto look like a class side, I wish they were in the Champions League, most of their side will be sold on in the summer also. But it will be great to see Braga in a European final. Fantastic since they sold most of their side in the summer.

Braga have a great home record. they havent conceded a goal at home in the Europa League.

i think Porto v Benfica would have made for a more entertaining final though. Braga will probably sit back. would be nice to see them win all the same.

Porto look set to win the Europa League. Fantastic how a team who play outside the big leagues have so many European trophies. More than Arsenal/Chelsea/Valencia etc.
