[Salvadora]

Can't I? Weakened the squad in January, played stupid 442s for the last two months, overplayed our best XI and showed a complete lack of spine in giving these players a hiding when they are being shit. He's done great for us, but two end of season meltdowns in a row is more than coincidence. We have reached his ceiling and I want him to go at the end of the season. A squad like ours should not be losing like this.

He surely can't be the choice for the England job now.

 

[Noirulus]

Arbeloa playing brilliantly, hope he can keep it up.

 

[norinrad]

Di maria you f**king tool

 

[bjaelke]

Arbeloa has been Real's best player this half.

 

[confuziz]

Lol what the hell happened in the Dijon vs Lille match:

[Pachimari]

We are not panicking. We are composed at the moment, they can't break through seriously.

 

[Scum]

Yeah they do. Poor day for Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea.

I am still trying to figure out what Chelsea gain by playing defensively for a draw? It just cost them 2 points on 4th spot...

Conserving energy. Roberto probably thought they'd be run ragged so opted to be defensive, keeping one eye on the Barca game. Only he got luck on his side when Wenger played into his hands, which prompted both teams to just "go through the motions and be done with it."

 

[Rad-]

Mourinho.

He might have ordered them to defend but not to give away every pass.

 

[DominoKid]

Arbeloa is dominating

 

[Grover Cleveland]

I don't understand how Madrid can suddenly panic like this. Weird. Barca will score a few if this keeps up.

Surely the fact that they can wrap up the league title tonight on their hated rival's pitch, where they haven't won in the Mourinho era, is enough to get the blood boiling a bit.

 

[The Incarnation]

Yeah they do. Poor day for Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea.

I am still trying to figure out what Chelsea gain by playing defensively for a draw? It just cost them 2 points on 4th spot...

Probably a practice run for the Barca match.

 

[Oxx]

Madrid can't win! We don't have any GIFs for them!

 

[-bakalhau-]

Ronaldo has like double the speed of Puyol.

 

[K1LLER7]

Di Maria is shocking, how much did they pay for this guy.

Ref is really good

 

[Scum]

Offside, but they're getting closer...

 

[Carbonox]

Yeah they do. Poor day for Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea.

They were probably being cocky and thinking they can do one over Barcelona on Tuesday, so looking towards that instead. Beyond that, they'll have that "if we can beat Barca, we can beat anyone" mentality for the final so they can secure CL by winning it.

Or Chelsea just showed why they're shit without some of their first choice players and knew that Arsenal would tear them a new one without playing defensively.

 

[dc89]

I hope Fady has took a umbrella if he is top tier!

 

[Metalmurphy]

Madrid can't win! We don't have any GIFs for them!

 

[José Mourinho]

He surely can't be the choice for the England job now.

Why he was ever the choice baffled me. I said it since the start, the media likes to stroke themselves to climax talking about big English Harry for the big English job. But I'd bet my house now that if he takes it, he'll do absolutely nothing with them.

Arsenal werent for tearing anybody knew one's today. Both teams were poor.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Here comes The Pepe.

 

[gollumsluvslave]

Di Maria MUST come off at half-time, otherwise I would have to say Mourinho has gone senile.

He has been ROTTEN

 

[Pachimari]

Di Maria is shocking, how much did they pay for this guy.

Ref is really good

Di Maria is generally our most creative player, he were also leading in assists.

This game he haven't been that useful though.

 

[Lightning]

So Chelsea are going to place all their eggs into the basket of winning the CL spot? Very brave especially with a trip to Noucamp and a trip to Germany coming up.

Because finishing 4th looks a bit too hard for Chelsea at this point now...

It's going to take a mountain effort for Chelsea to go to Spain and prevent Barcelona from going through. Chelsea will need a goal, period. Because Barca will score, you can almost guarantee that.

 

[Scum]

Pepe, you dumbass.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Like the only thing Pepe has done tonight.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Thatr was yellow card?

WHAT A LOOOOL!

 

[rodvik]

He surely can't be the choice for the England job now.

of course he can. if anything his recent implosion has demonstrated he has what it takes to manage england

 

[sneaky77]

Here comes The Pepe.

This made me laugh out loud for some reason

Obviously I support Spurs but I really hope Newcastle win all their remaining games. They have shown great character this season unlike our bunch of bottling, naive bastards.

I like how he keeps playing Sandro

Wait, no I don't.

 

[rvy]

Here comes The Pepe.

LMAO, yes. Such scum.

 

[Metalmurphy]

Thatr was yellow card?

WHAT A LOOOOL!

Don't understand it either. It was shoulder on shoulder.

 

[clemenx]

Damn that was great by Ozil.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Pepe foolishness has begun.

Natural order will be restored soon and I expect Barca to win by three goals.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Ozil is dead.

 

[TeegsD]

I think Ozil should've lifted that up

 

[Keio]

Pepe and Sergio on yellow. Interesting Bets?

 

[Brinbe]

If this is indicative of anything, the 2nd half is gonna be rouuuuugh

 

[Scum]

Unlucky, Ozil. Well played, Mascherano.

 

[Cobano]

If Özil knew how to use his right foot that could have been a goal

 

[K1LLER7]

Noo Ozil did well, messed up the easy part

 

[DominoKid]

Thats a reputation card.

 

[ShogunX]

I like how he keeps playing Sandro

Wait, no I don't.

Who needs Sandro when you have Scotty Parker England captain?

 

[rodvik]

Pepe and Sergio on yellow. Interesting Bets?

its at camp nou, i think we both know which is more likely.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Phew.

 

[sneaky77]

its at camp nou, i think we both know which is more likely.

It's also Pepe.. so the percentage of him losing his head is more likely

 

[Keio]

its at camp nou, i think we both know which is more likely.

Yes, Barca holds the ball and puts Pepe under pressure, so he's more likely to foul, right?

 

[Arnie]

Good game this but in fucking stuffed. Barcelona need to kick into gear though.

 

[bjaelke]

Rain is pouring down.

 

[Scum]

That's been a really good first half.

 

[Salvadora]

I still think Barca will win this.
