The Barcelona v Real Madrid thread

[Gibbo]

Playing Barca at their own game? They aren't even attempting to play football nor impose their style. It's clear he doesn't know how to play the game, he's shown this at every ****ing club he's been. Absolute dross and one dimensional/nullifying tactics.

Come on mate, your making him out to be a **** manager thats at a big club (like Hodgson with us) I give you the fact his football isn't pretty at all and for the record I prefer Barca and think they are the best footballing side I've ever seen. But you cant fault how successful he has been, he has won a trophy at every team he has been at. If they beat Barca in the cup using similar tactics why shouldn't they try it again.

Arbeloa - one of the "Who are they? - funny foreigners.." signings. Would love him back with us now. I read an interview saying he left because "the writing was on the wall" after we signed Johnson.

Desperately dire stuff from Mourinho's Madrid.

I know you don't go 2-3-5 against Barca but this is ridiculous.

[McDermotX]

More play acting from Marcelo


Working well here, get as many free kicks as possible.....its the master plan

[Exiled_red]

Di Maria with a blatent dive, wins a free kick though

[McDermotX]

Another weak ref here.....clear dive from DiMaria.

Another free kick coming in (i.e. Real's best chance of something tonight)

[Shaggy]

Mourinho oversees an ultra-defensive team full of diving, cheating ****houses. Some things never change.

[Gibbo]

Jesus, gift from the ref there, Di Maria clearly dived

The more and more I see Mourihno at different clubs, the more and more I think he's overrated despite his success. It's not as if he hasn't been backed wherever he's gone has he?

Chelsea - tick
Inter - tick
Madrid - tick

Each and every time he's played boring one dimensional football. It's easier to win with resources he's had.

I don't think his tactics are any different from Roy ****ing Hodgson, I'm with Shaggy on this one. He's got better players.

[Shaggy]

Xabi and Masher having a little ding dong

[Rich]

Mascherano and Alonso mouthing off at each other!

[Gibbo]

Macher arguing with Alonso .

[Daniel 7]

Mascherano giving Xabi pelters there. **** off!

[Exiled_red]

Arbeloa booked for Pedro running into him

Oh! I'm slow at typing aren't I?
