Title: Barca v Real
Post by: glos_robin on Monday, November 29, 2010, 20:29:00
Barca are teaching Real a bit of a footballing lesson so far tonight (2-0 at the moment), nothing in England even comes close to being as good to watch as Barca, they make Arsenal look like a long ball team.

Admittedly we all thought "El Clasico" referred to Droylsden v Orient

You mean it didn't? In fairness this thread appeared first.

I saw Barcelona in 2008 and they are by far the best footballing team I've seen to date.

The games frantic as the mad ref seems intent on giving no fouls whatsoever.... Messi just got booked for Carvalho elbowing him in the face which was bizarre.
Half time now

Mourinho's match reaction could be worth a watch.

So much for the titanic clash between Messi and Ronaldo then. And what price "The Special One" now? :D

Ha. I knew it wouldn't live up to it's billing, but I thought it was going to end up scrappy and 1-1 or something before the game.

How wrong was I.

Absolute schooling from Barca. That was absolutely unreal.

Madrid have virtually the same defence that they had last year, which was so poor. The Real President wants to buy Galacticos, which are forward attacking players, yet if you don't buy decent defenders...you don't win anything.

Barcelona tore Real's defence to shreds last night right enough, but my appreciation of their excellent football was continually spoiled by the ridiculously over the top and biased commentary. Was there really any need to bring Franco into it? It's just a fucking football match.

As much as I like Barcelona's football, I hate their propaganda machine just the same.

Fully agree with that. Every time Barca are playing, the commentators are seemingly biased towards Barca and their 'wonderful football'. That's why was glad Inter beat them in last seasons semi-final (don't forget the playacting !!!).

Just maybe they mentioned their "wonderful football", because it was fucking wonderful.

Every so often something comes along which restores faith in the beautiful game....and there it was last night a thing of beauty.... a work of art

It's not the 'wonderful football' that winds me up, although it gets a bit silly when you describe a misplaced pass as such, it's all this 'more than a club' bollocks.

The bollocks is part of the modern game....I can largely ignore it and focus in on the football.
