Anyone watching?
All a bit walking pace so far...hoping to see it liven up a bit.
Borinho that's for elfin 😀
yawn...but then thats a "special one" tactic
Barça having much the better of it so far. Real limited to defending mostly.
Some top skilz though. If teams like Arsenal really believe they are anywhere near this standard, they are seriously deluded. Just shows the gulf between clubs with near-infinite resources, and the rest.
Plenty of cheating going on too.
Handbaygs out! 😀
I am going for 3 red cards one will be a manager
I hope the ref can speak Spanish.
😀 Hola!
Plenty of cheating going on too.
Don't watch too much Spanish football, do you? It's the main reason I can't.
Handbags....
Hey shweetie 🙂
Anybody cringing when reading "Respect" embroidered on the sleeves? Some pretty disgusting behaviour going on tonight.
Ooh! Best chance yet! Fantastic goalkeeping!
Offside mind.
El Cheatico.
Can't edit the thread title anymore 🙁
DD; see Mascherano and Alonso having a 'little chat'? Interesting seeing as how they used to be team mates...
Yeah, I saw it and wondered about that.
😀 @ more Handbags
talking about how Kenny deserves a knighthood

EDIT: thats not a dig BTW just an excuse to post up the link for you
Couldn't watch this every week, I'd rather watch a Bolton v Blackburn game*.
* ok Its ont quite that bad.
I think it's deserved.
1 down 2 to go
Jesus, did you see the scenes as they left the pitch for half-time? 😯
Bloody foreigners.
Reserve goalie red carded and Valdes should have been too. 😯
Plenty of cheating going on too.
Right ba*****s, aren't we!
Oh dear. Gordon Strachan and Adrian Chiles being culturally insensitive.. 🙁
Brits in 'not understanding funny foreign ways' shocker...
Brits in 'not understanding funny foreign ways' shocker...
What did they say?
should have been arrested for his haricut I think is the line he is referring to not sure about which player
Barça reserve keeper. Has 'cornrow' hairdo.
Not that big a deal really I spose, but they just sound like a couple of fuddy-duddy out of touch old men.
Which is actually what they are, tbh.
Strachan is hardly one to talk, anyway:

What a bunch of clowns.!
Nice to see that he learnt something in the Premier League, nice one Mascherano
¡Hala Madrid!
Nice roundhouse too! 🙄
2 and that is never a red card
Pish game this. Bunch of cheating diving whingers.
Down to 10 🙁
Red card.! Never in a month of Sundays.
yah for my prediction
Moaninho sent off too! 😆
Ref doesn't want to come back to Madrid... 🙂
¡Hala Madrid!
Forza Ferrari! 😀
(No hang on Elf, that's not even the right country let alone the right sport you stupid little idiot made yerself look a right tit)
Someone heavily dissed Effin for calling the Liverpool ManU game El Classico. For two teams with not much love lost, they manage to behave themselves a lot better than this crowd of primadonnas. This is just awful. I feel for the ref. How the bejeesus do you control something like this.
Barcelona are a disgrace with their cheating antics.
It's so ingrained in the game, talk to the fans and they'll tell you how stylish and good player X was for getting player Y sent off! I can't be doing with it, mind you the atmosphere at the Bernabeu is something else...
50/50 really. It's Real v Barca. never going to be too gentlemanly, was it? 😀
Both teams are a disgrace, it encapsulates all I dislike about the modern game, all the surrounding the ref, the play acting.. ****ing shocking tbh.
Why are you watching? Or is that a silly question?
mrs deadly just asked me the same question. "I dunno" said I "I think just for the pantomime now..."
It's just on in the background, I'm browsing here amongst other things. If your not watching it why are you posting on this thread... Or is that a silly question?? 🙂
HERE WE GO! 😀
megs as well
Or is that a silly question??
Yes, because I'm not complaining about something I have the power to change. 😉
TBH it's now Real who are doing most of the play-acting. Albiol just threw himself on the floor there. He's twice the size of Messi ffs. 🙄
Ooh, Adebayor lucky to get away with a yellow there...
Well sorry for adding my opinion on a forum! I could turn it off if I wanted, I also have the power, as did snap I believe.
Is deliberate handball not a straight red card still?
Are you really claiming little fellas cant knock big fellas over 😉
oohh yes!
Wah Messi!
Oh.
My.
God.
😯
And that's why you put up with the 85 mins of awfulness 🙂
Chwarae teg!
I do hope maxray didn't exercise his power and miss that goal.
edit: looks up sees he didn't. good stuff.
THE CHRONICLES OF RIDIC
Oh how funny it will be in the final 😆
😀 lol I'm not that easily swayed... Or maybe just lazy. ..
Well done Barca no classic by any means . Great second from Messi with 5 of Francos team bearing down on him.
'Vamos Barca'
loddrick FFS give over you cock perhpas one day you can celebrate pool winning rather than Man U loosing 🙄
hopefully it will be spectacle but yes only a madman would think that Barca would not be the favourites but any team with Messi in would be the favourites he is some player
You do know he's been dead a few years! Are you Spain's answer to Loddrick?5 of Francos team bearing down on him.
Ha ha! Then the pièce de résistance; Lineker and Elle MacPherson in a crisp ad! 😆
Brilliant.
If I win a euromillions multi-multi rollover I'm buying Palace and Messi and we're going to win the Championship and the Premier League before I run out of dosh. I think i can save a few quid as he can wear the same shirt.
Can anyone spot Loddrick's tag? Ja ja!
loddrick FFS give over you cock perhpas one day you can celebrate pool winning rather than Man U loosing
+1. Give it a rest mate, you're getting very, very boring now.
Schadenfreude baby!
have you compared Liverpool's success this year with Man U?
i am not sure that schadenfreude is on your side but I conceed you are stupid enough to think it is.
Given the state that the previous yanks and Hodgson left us in, where we are now feels like we have won 10 CL's at once. So there ain't no misery on the red half of Merseyside these days, regardless of what happens up the road.
Any chance we could ignore him? A curious but pleasing harmony had broken out between all us faux fans. It would be nice to keep it that way.

You really, really do talk some crap sometimes, don't you?
This season has been an abject failure for Liverpool FC. Much like the last one. That we are now back on track and playing well, is the least to be expected. Hoping for a Europa League place at best is way below where we should be. In contention for the league title is where we should be, and we haven't bin good enough on that score for far too long.
Where we are now is 6th place and potless again. That is rubbish. If you're satisfied with that, then you really can't be much of a fayn...
Any chance we could ignore him?
ok
Don't watch too much Spanish football, do you? It's the main reason I can't.
I take it you don't watch the English premier league for the same reason then?. The cheating in British football is every bit as bad as spanish football in my opinion.
For what it's worth, I thought it was an intriguing game, lots of personal battles and interesting to see some of the tactics unfolding during the game. Pepe should not have been sent off for that challenge, but he was a victim of the fact he is usually a dirty bastard.
I for one would love to see teams playing the ball out of defence in this country, the way Barca can. My heart would be in my mouth if any of my teams full backs got a ball facing their own goal, and an opposition player bearing down on them, doesn't seem to bother this lot at all.
And Messi is just an absolute colossus of a talent.
No, definitely not, just like everyone else up here, we're all plastic fans you know?
At one stage we were possibly heading for administration, hovering above the drop zone and crap teams were relishing coming to Anfield to get at us, so you'll have to excuse me for not sharing your pessimism.
Scousers eh? the eternal optimists god love 'em.
Liverpool have had another shocker of a season, you can't dress it up as anything else. Anyhow the fizzy pop league is where it's at, as a Norwich suppoter I have had an awesome season and even if we don't keep hold of 2nd we have achieved more than any of us expected. 🙂
Liverpool have had a transitional season. It started as possibly the worst season in the history of the club when everything is considered. Now, it is indeed like winning 10 CL's all at once - well at least 5 anyway.
The team now have owners who want to invest in the squad, players who want to play their hearts out and one of the best managers out there - what's not to be happy about?
