DD was the one reason why the barca defence was feeling intimidated... although i hate divers ..his on field antics was fun to watch payback time 4 alves, busquets, mascherano ...was rofl when mascherano was complaining to ref about diving maybe barca assumed they would win easily...that's why they were not diving and crowding the ref or raising their hands for a card....which has been their tactic for some time for big games like el-clasico..or maybe they have realised their mistake...will hv to w8 n watch
Barca have been playing their natural game, fair n square for this entire season.....no diving or anything of the sort.....
and that is the way we intend to win at Camp Nou and go through....
and if we cant......then Bayern Munich will win the UCL
And i thought speculations will end after Chelsea's win against Barcelona . Pahle to according to few , Barca bhi Chelsea ko 5-0 , 6-0 hara rahi thi . Wo to hua nahi . Ulta khud hi haar gaye . Now it would be better to wait for the second leg results before predicting something :biggrin::biggrin: Cuz all the 4 teams have very good chances !!!
And the day Barca (except for X,I,M) starts playing a fair game , no diving , no acting , definitely a lot of Barca fans will increase :grin::grin:
What a strike by scholesy in that match:grin:........also barca was eliminated double fun Man Utd were missing fletcher due to wrong suspension given in semifinal in 2009 and in 2011,we had small chicks playing in midfield against the giants of barca.
Gaitan is okay but they need something more in midfield to replace scholes and giggs,i think ashley young signing was a mistake.
Hmmm agree with you, i also think ashley young signing was a mistake.... he dosnt provide anything xtra.... not that X-factor which Utd are lacking... and his diving is hopeless... i mean Utd would have still won the matches had he not dived.... i believe he played 3/4 good games, against arsenal, spurs and one or two more...
i remember the 2011 final well... we had 39 yr old giggs:nono:, fat anderson and poor park in midfield against the likes of xavi, iniesta... as soon as i saw the team news i new we were in for a drubbing.... we definately need a defensive ball playing midfielder... someone like javi martinez would do very well.... of course modric would be fantastic...:)
I hope Utd dont sign sneijder... he's injury prone and he played well only in that inter treble winning season... and would cost a lot of money... although he has a hot wife
Talking of barca i think i would like to suggest that although pep guardiola has done a fantastic job he has not really thought of barca's financial health has he... think of the signings he has made year after year.... that zlatan deal was really bad, then someone called kierreson and finally cesc fabregas.... barca dont really need him, they have a tennege prodigy called tiago alcantra who would have done as well as fabregas then why sign him, i believe barca have a debt of 400m pounds.... that's way too much....
in the absence of Villa, our front line should be Messi, Pedro, Sanchez....
Mid should be Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets...
Back 4 selection is a problem.....is Pique fit to play on saturday ???
coz Adriano is not doing well at the back.....he aint the right replacement for Abidal....that's Mascherano....
Sanchez was a waste in the last game, very much unlikely him, Barca is badly missing the services of hitman David Villa, yes, we have to resolve the defence problems, hope Pique is fit to play by Saturday....
Drogba not even on Bench...n I thought Drogba would crush Arsenal today as always... Hope Chelsea win today....Torres has to play a very imp. role today... 5 Mins to Kick Off...:grin:
With 6 matches remaining , Milan are 1 point behind Juventus. They are really giving Milan a hard time now.
Juventus haven't lost any game this season , but have drawn 14 times And , on the other hand Milan have won more 2 games then Juventus but lost 5 games in the season.
Juventus up against Roma , hope they dn't triumph !!
And its turns out to be a stalemate. Didn't look like a London Derby at all. A few half chances here and there but nothing great from both sides. A 4th place finish looks even more distant now. Seems Chelsea are more focused on the Champions League. I hope they are able to contain Barcelona at Camp Nou. It's a tough task but it's not impossible 😉
One more proof that Valdes is a dhakan goalie......gifted real first goal(though khedira was offside...just)
Dani alves apne pitaji(read referee) ko impress kar rha tha acting kar ke.:nono:
Alves and busquets always game for acting.
Messi as usual mesmerising,amazing passes for tello and xavi.:grin:
Chelsea will find it very hard to contain barca at camp nou with very wide pitch.They surely need an away goal on tuesday to eliminate barca
London derby looked like a match between lower league clubs.
Ha ha ha agree with you on all points 😃 😃 :)
Barca 1 - 2 Real madrid... there goes la liga title to real... barca's 2nd defeat in a week... can chelsea rub it on and make it 3 in a week...
although i am no barca hater and love the way they play but for once would love to see chelsea win, lampard terry ashley cole and didier drogba deserves another shot at the title:biggrin:

La liga title will be delivered at bernabaeu at this season's end.
Yes, lampard,terry,cole,drogba(minus his antics:biggrin:),essien,cech........these players do deserve a champions league medal
Missed one after terry slipped and failed to convert the penalty.(I am a Man United fan and was hoping for the same at that time:biggrin:)
Missed second in 2009 when they were the best team by far than any other team in the tournament.Thanks to the paid referee of barca.
One more thought comes to my mind that when mourinho was at chelsea.at that time he did the same to shevechenko what he his doing to kaka right now.
He does not play kaka.....initially he didn't have the stamina and was below par but that is not the case right now.He is perfoming well but still he prefers chick ozil and noodle di maria(another actor) over higuain and kaka.
Even callejon gets some match XP but they sit on bench:sneaky:

I am also a Man Utd fan.... and i actually switched off the TV when terry was abt to take his kick..
Switched back on 2 secoends later to see every UTD player running and jumping... something i also started to do:biggrin:... but that match Utd played very well and we hit the bar some 3/4 times unlike the next 2 finals where we were slaughtered and deserved nothing...
yess Barca's luck has been with them in addition to their brilliant play.... it's time they ran out
