men against boys very very one sided game and although barca are a superb side they showed united up for what they are an average team,yes they won the league but imo a hell of a lot to do with that was the fact the other top sides,excluding city maybe are nowhere near as good as they were.thought giggs did ok and rooney kept running and took his goal well but the rest,if that hernandez is a top class striker then so am i,fuckin hell all he did was run offside first half,second half did nothing.if city spend big again this summer they will be finishing above united next season no doubt in my eyes
Thought Barcelona gave Man U and English football a lesson in how the game should be played. Although i hate the little pig faced, fat headed, granny shagging little runt, Rooney was the only player who would get a kick in the Barca side. At time's Barca seemed to be playing with an extra man, in United's face, chasing every ball and passing the ball for fun. Barca's 12 shots on target compared to United's 1, say's it all. As for Messi, what a player.
Barca are easily the best team in world football just now. No one even comes close to them. The way Xavi and Iniesta play in the centre of the park should be taped and all school kids made to watch. Never look at the ball when it is a t their feet and are always looking for a pass. Their first touch is out of this world and they place the ball where they want it to go using their first touch when it would take other players a 2nd or 3rd touch to get it there. Messi is no bad either. I still think the only man u player that would get near that team would have been scholes in his prime. The rest are just not good enough.
I'm not really sure of all this pressure, I'm never gonna lose any of my old letters, 'Cause they'll stay with me, Until I can see that I'm no one
The best football team I have ever seen. No shame in losing to them, they are streets ahead of everyone.
You can see the tactic that works against them, press them high up the pitch like United did for the first ten minutes but as United proved that can only be done for a short time.
Bizarre tactics by Ferguson. How the fuck did he think he was going to beat Barcelona with a centre midfield pairing of Giggs and Carrick? You've got to stop then playing by denying Xavi, Iniesta and Messi any space in front of your back four. If that involves two defensive midfielders, who never cross the half way line, then so be it. If you bore the pants off everyone watching ,stink the place out but end up sneaking a victory, then the end justifies the means.
Looks like Berbatov will end up by at Tottenham in a swap deal for Modric after he flounced off last night.
I think the top four teams aren't as good as they used to be, in terms of flair and skill. Reckon all the top 4 will spend big this summer, and they will all be much better teams next season.
Zitat von Leicester_LoyalBarca are a class above, and it showed.

Real Madrid have spent huge amounts and also have the so-called tactical genius that is Mourhino yet they came up well short. You can't buy what this Barcelona team has.
