  1. I've always wondered what this 'defending' lark was about. Thanks for the clarification!
  2. He'll be preparing to lift the trophy now.
  3. Luiz Gustavo may be some kind of 'constant' in purely statistical terms, but he didn't start either leg of the Barça semi-final. If only Barcelona had some other reliable attacking options...
  4. For all the praise for Luiz tonight, is Thiago Silva the best centre-back in the world?
  5. I'm not so sure that Xavi does have that extra gear any more, particularly later in the season. Still a supremely gifted player and the best in the world at what he does, but he doesn't seem to get around the pitch quite as quickly these days. Thiago and Isco are both fabulous players and will do well for Spain, but they've got a long, long way to go before they're anything like as good as Xavi and Iniesta.
  6. In that position, there's no defender in the world that I'd fancy against Neymar.
  7. Slim chance that this may become a contest again. Big pressure to score here though!
  8. Will this silence the Fred doubters, particularly Alan Hansen?
  9. Meanwhile, Lawrenson heads off for a half-time snack: Surely they're going to have to put some pressure on? They'll stick to their style but can't just sit back and constantly knock the ball around.
  10. Another Bayern - Barça? A turning point in football; a shift in dominance? The next twelve months are going to be interesting.
  11. This Neymar fella, he's crap y'know. I saw him play against England once and he didn't score but fell on the floor a few times. Overrated.
  12. He's still great. The way he keeps the ball is unreal.
  13. I could quite happily do nothing but watch Andrés Iniesta play football for the rest of my life.
  14. Arbeloa shitting his pants as Neymar runs at him!
  15. The dogs in my area are so clumsy. I've just had to untie yet another one from a post outside the corner shop.
  16. He's not playing - they've got Mata in midfield. OK, we get it, Piqué and Alba are awful, therefore Spain's (usually!) solid defence is solely down to the skills of Arbeloa and Ramos. Who happen to play for Real Madrid.
  17. I just did a turd that turned out to be the best football journo/pundit that the BBC have.
  18. Each to their own, but there seem to be a hell of a lot of grumpy feckers focusing solely on the negatives ahead of a clash between two sides that can play extremely brilliant football. I, for one, am really looking forward to the final.
  19. My mate had one of his testicles removed today, after finding a lump. That's how serious he is about mashed potato.
  20. I don't think that it takes anything away from Iniesta, but obviously you have to sympathise with such clubs. Does anyone know if there's a confirmed date for La Liga's fixture list announcement? I'm hoping that I can finally get across to watch a Barça game sometime next season.
