Not saying that Marcelo shouldn't have seen red. But the fact that Xavi went out and said that "Marcelo tried to injure Cesc!" when his tackle was way worse in terms of danger... Xavi knew what he was doing, he knew he couldn't get the ball but got the player. Now Barcelona fans are going to deny the same ability to read players movement and Xavis perfect timing that they have been hailing for 5 years.

Poor Madrid player's! One of them received a harsh tackle by a Barça player in 6 matches!!

And yet pple easily forget Villa hitting Ozil for no reason at all and Xavi's tackle on Coentrao.....

Very easy to point fingers and all that......

That's why I pointed it out, makes no sense to me.

Ozil stomped on Cesc, Villa stood up for Cesc and gave him what he deserves, a good clean hit to the face.

I don't get you. A mature man (27?) assaults a coach, but he's just 'a little pissed'. Maybe he was provoked, maybe not, irrelevant.

An U-20 kid shows the middle finger to some fans (not physical assault) and he's a 'little c*nt'. And how do you know he was unprovoked? You don't.

Theres no point in trying to talk sense into him.

Says the Benfica/Mourinho fan hahahaha

I can't be a fan of benfica and be a fan of mourinho?

Mourinho was the coach of Benfica before He was the coach of Porto, and I hate the fact that the Benfica President was a freaking idiot for not keeping mourinho. I'm going to hate a coach because he coached my rival team? Sorry i'm not that trivial like you are.

Madrid under the guidance of Mou have played like thugs yet again and have lost yet again.

Madrid were lucky over two legs. They managed to get a draw at home against an under par Barca team and did well not to lose by more in Camp Nou.

Point is Barcelona dish out as much as they get not to mention they dive and cry more than any other club on the planet.

It's funny how many Madrid fans I've seen congratulate Barcelona, but all I've seen from Barcelona fans is cry cry cry

FFS grow up and get a grip, your club is not holier than thou ffs

Lionel Messi wrote:Hilarious how Mourinho criticized Barca for apparently using strategy that "small teams" use when he just parked the bus 4 games in a row a couple months ago, this guy is the biggest hypocritical scum I've ever seen, a complete disgrace to football and an embarrassment to the institution of Real Madrid.

I think you made it pretty clear on what you think about Mourinho by now, as this is might be the 20ish post you made of your thoughts on the Mou

Really? Wheres the proof? I havn't seen a video, or read anything about this?

The reason Ronaldo doesn't look as fast as he used to is because La Liga defenders have more pace then EPL defenders.

EPL likes there defenders to be big, strong and imposing and some do posses world class speed, but as a whole they value different qualities in there defenders.

La Liga defenders are more technical and are usually smaller and faster, that being said they are shit when dealing with corners or a big physical center forward.

This IS NOT a bash EPL thread but in the EPL you need big strong defenders because there are not teams full of midgets in the EPL, a lot of the Mids and Forwards in the EPL are big guys and a lot of teams will play route 1 football hence you need size and strength to deal with that.

You can have all the pace and technical ability in the world but when Drogba, Carrol, Rooney, Berba, Dzeko, Crouch, etc etc are bearing down on you or fighting you during a corner that does mean s***.

AGAIN this IS NOT a bash EPL post, I would love to have some of the EPL defenders on BArca and as a whole I think they have better defenders, there just different.

PS. I know there are fast and technical defenders in the EPL.

this! no team is "perfect" don´t need to plead your inosence all the time about every little thing that might put barca in some sort of bad position

Nearly everyone agrees that this debate ended years ago.

Mou isn't destroying Spanish Football.

He is however making a laughing stock out of himself and his own club.

Jealousy makes people lose the plot it seems.

Messis second might become quite the iconic goal in this discussion.

EDIT: Double Post :geek:

Barca fans

Madrid fans

Neutrals

It's times like these you see who watched the games for the football and who watched the games for the controversey just to have something to bitch about.

Of course, every single Barcelona fan is just crying because we won, it's so heart breaking winning over RM in a final.

What is he jealous about?

Barca's dominance

Thanks for proving my point, the maturity of Barcelona fans is laughable at best

The football was indeed entertaining but the bitching afterwards isn't. I guess the 10 Classicos or something we've had so far have taken their toll.

And there are 2 more left in the season Even more if we have another CL faceoff.

To me it just seems like you're anguished over the loss in the final and need to take your anger out, it's okay, let it all out buddy, you're going to be ok. :flower:

Jesus christ! how many times are you going to use that picture? MOURINHO HIMSELF ADMITTED THAT VALDES THOUGHT THAT MOURINHO WAS PROVOKING THE BARCA FANS AND ONCE MOURINHO TOLD HIM THAT HE WASN'T, VALDES WENT AWAY!!!!

You guys sure are thick..

Here's the villa and özil fight from the beginning on spanish. As you can see in this video, Villa notice something that özil does, so Villa calmy went to talk to Özil, who then pushed villa a little who in turn lost the plot..

Hmmm...

You seem to care a lot about a game that you didn't care about at all?

I never claimed to care about it at all, I said quite a few times it was just a preseason semi-friendly, but it seems like it was a bit more to people like Crimson.
