I can take it on the chin. Beautiful header, awful person etc.

Those high passes from the side are such a waste on Barca in the penalty box. Who do they think will head it in?

I love that Mourinho looks exactly like me atm: both on the 'bench', tired, strung out, not caring and enjoying it all the same

I would totally watch a league with just Barca and Madrid, playing each other 36 times a season.
(which brings us back to chess again - just the best two, playing each other again and again and again)

I'm so happy there are two more games with these two.

dont follow spanish football v.closely. is pep actually legit or just fortunate to have inherited one of the great organic club sides just as they come into full bloom?

Incredible build up for the two CL matches, this
Real Madrid got away with a hell of a lot of timewasting there

guardiola is excellent, tho not a mourinho (for good and ill)

@Cozen, who will tell? With clubs like Barca it's hard to tell. Rijkaard did really well with Barca too, but not with any of the other teams before or after Barca. I do think Pep has a great hand in how Barca plays, tweaking tiki taka to perfection. Plus being highly, highly regarded by the players. But if he's the only one that can get these results and this football with Barca? I don't underestimate him, not at all actually, but I doubt it all the same.

I don't know what that means
― Future Debts Collector (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 20 April 2011 22:09 (thirteen years ago) link
feel very certain pepe is a gourmet rijkaard who would be just as unable to recreate any of what he's achieved as barca custodian elsewhere. that's not to denigrate what he's done, only to say that it's a different kind of role to what a "normal" manager does

Pep himself says he just does the press conferences. We'll see when he goes elsewhere.

also why are they having a parade for the copa del rey

Haven't won a trophy in a while iirc
― Number None, Thursday, 21 April 2011 11:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Last trophy is La Liga in 2008, so it's not like it's been that long. But yeah it feels kind of weird. I mean it's Madrid! If it were Hercules or Gijon or whoever I'd understand the parade.
― Jibe, Thursday, 21 April 2011 12:08 (thirteen years ago) link
I've always felt like we're missing out by not being able to have parades when we win stuff. Stupid Glasgow.

I was in Barcelona the night of the 2009 Champions League final. They called the riot police in cos the fans were going so mental. And that was for a victory.
― Number None, Thursday, 21 April 2011 12:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Does that not happen in Amsterdam, Milan, London, München, everywhere where a big club wins a title? Having the riot police at hand? Football fans in being stupid etc
― Future Debts Collector (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 21 April 2011 12:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Actually got charged by them though. As i was drunkenly minding my own business.

Eamon Dunphy just called Ronaldo's goal in the Copa Del Rey the best header he's ever seen.
― Number None, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 18:28 (thirteen years ago) link
It was good, yeah. I might post here for a bit.

His header for Utd against Roma was better
― Number None, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 19:05 (thirteen years ago) link
I love how Real are pressing here. It's like they're putting 80% into it most of the time, letting Barca paint themselves into a corner, then snapping into the tackle when it counts.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 27 April 2011 19:09 (thirteen years ago) link
Get it to Villa more. What's he going to do except cut inside though?
