QUOTE (X-Offender @ Apr 22 2012, 08:10 PM)  You truly are the most anti-Barça user on this forum. Fair enough. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) But no, for this I am serious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) The way Barcelona play, and most of the goals they score, I just can't get myself to like. I mean, we used to play possession football every now and then, but it wasn't this ugly, Barcelona just have devised a style that overcomes their physical weakness and perfected it. But it's plain evident to see that there is no randomness, little flair and limited finesse in Barcelona's game. |

I am not happy until Barca are finished in both. Chelsea took care of part 1, Madrid need 2 more wins to take care of part 2. Get it done!

They will. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) They took care of it in Camp Nou. Can't nearly see them losing two matches now.

How ironic that Barca will end up trophyless this season (can you really count the Coppa Del Rey after all the hype and hoopla sarrounding them?)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Mourinho counted it as a trophy won in Real Madrid. I guess Barca will do the same. And Mourinho can't even taunt them about it. Shame, I'd have liked him to piss all over their season. |

Maybe Real Madrid and Barcelona can have another CL El Classico for the bronze trophy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Don't say it twice, I bet Platini is already thinking about it.

Well they tried everything they could to make it happen without making it more obvious than it already was. Red card for Terry, soft Penalty for Barca Offside goal for CR, soft penalty for Real In the end justice was served. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I think what Jack's trying to say is that last season Real took that trophy so seriously (even if they did squash it under a double decker bus). So this season they can't really taunt Barca about it being their only trophy |

They also have CWC and Super Cup, if that counts.
Anyway, reports in Spain say Pep will leave Barca this summer. He's probably gonna be linked with Milan soon. |

I'm still not sold on him, he's had an illustrious set of players to work with, not saying it's not down to him too but I don't put him in the top bracket of managers... yet. |

I think they have improved a lot during Pep and he perfected their style of play. Before him, despite having a very good squad, they had two successive trophyless seasons. Sure he needs to prove himself elwhere too (and seems like he wants that too as he was thinking of leaving a year ago) but no matter how good your players are, it's still very difficult to win 13-14 titles in 4 years.

We need a coach who can teach our players what the words "pressing" and "effort" mean. Pep knows those concepts very well. alas, in Barca's last two games he really made a mess with his decisions/subs.
He's still an exciting name, though. |
