dayokanu:
When i tell you most EPL fans ignorant you come here bleating

@Dayokanu,
stop typing nonsense. Certainly teams (including top teams) get bashed once in a while but what Barca did to RM on saturday was no bashing, but humiliation of the highest order.
We know all the stats you posted (its not like I started watching football 2 weeks ago? ). This
statement

How can a top team lose 6-2? Can someone explain this to me?

was more of a cry that a question.
I mean, a match of this magnitude when a team has the ultimate chance to rack up some vital points and kick in some pressure on the opponent. Instead they messed up big time and all in the name of "sexy football". Yes, it happens but it is disgusting or wouldnt you agree?

You claim you dont like the EPL but you watch it week in week phucking out. Shait, why the phuck?

nateevs:
I really really hope Gus watched the last 90mins in spain. I don't really care what kind of tactics we use . . . negative, park the bus whatever. These guys are no respecters of home or away. The can score when they want.


Put everyman behind the ball. do what ever it takes and qualify as long as we get to that final. Everything else is history.

wise talk. Efficiency over beauty.

But some folks are asking for "sexy football"

My boy JM is about to clinch the Scudetto. let me take a glance of what is going on.

How did middlesborough beat chelsea 4-0? answer that first

M'boro is not a top team. Teams bet bashed once in a while.

But in a top table clash like this, 6-2 is called humiliation.

Until this match, I was still undecided as to whether La Liga was better than the EPL. But now I can authoritatively say that EPL rules.
There is skill, passion and above all EFFICIENCY.

How can a top team lose 6-2? Can someone explain this to me?

This is not the RM that I know. Shameful is the least that I can say.
hmmm

Thanks Asha. The same thing I told the guy. Attacking does not always win you game. Putting those chances in the back of the net will.

@DavidD, Yes I support Chelsea, but you if you follow my post, I infact applauded Barca as the best attacking team right now. Their firepower is RED HOT.
That said, ALL TEAMS CANNOT and WILL NOT play the Barca brand.

RM was simply humiliated today.

Ask any of the RM fans, they would gladly take a 0-0 draw than this humiliation of a match.

Of all people Pique? Gets a cherry on the cake.
Barca 6- RM 2.

Any you call this total football or pure rubbish?

kokonets:
The best form of defense is attack a[b]nd playing attacking football always wins you games[/b] unless you play anti football against Barca which spoils the beauty of the game.

ask Johan Cruyff.

Looks like you've just started watching football.

davidylan:
simply because one team has so much firepower for the other. Chelsea will not allow this by kicking and fouling as usual.
At least RM is trying to put the ball on the ground and play instead of packing their bus infront of the goal.

so invariably you are saying that all teams must play Barca brand of football?
Perhaps we can all start speaking the same language in the world? That is NEVER going to happen.

Chelsea aint playing no dirty footie. There was no kicking and fouling or you are counting the rolling antics from Barca players?

Now its 5-2. And you call this total football? RM is the weaker team and it is obvious to see. That they are trying to put the ball on the ground aint doing them no good.

There are no Barca haters here and no one dispute that they best attacking football on the planet right now.
But may I remind you that even playing attacking football does not always win you games.

As said earlier, me thinks efficiency is better than beauty.

this is not football.
one team is busy scoring the other is trying to get back into the game.
Chelsea will not allow this.

For all those saying Chelsea put 9 men behind the ball in the first leg, Barca had chances which they never put away. Irrespective of what your opponent is doing, if you don't put away your chances, you don't get the desired results. simple.

Anyone who says the Chelsea vs L'pool game was boring is nothing but a comedian.

what a response. henry.

2-4

Ramossssssss. ahhhhh

El Clasico.

it beats me. so what is good football? when one team is ripping the other apart or when both teams are having a go at each other?
If it is the latter, then Chelsea vs Liverpool UCL q/f was complete football.

Chelsea will have to score but for that, they dont even need to come out of their shell. One set piece is enough.
Now, that may not be the total football y'all are looking for but then, results is more important.

I will take efficiency over beauty.

second half in progress

No.

@Crizzle, got to say it, you are spot on.

Barca are just ripping RM apart. Looks more like a training session to me.

football cannot always be like this. it aint possible. This is about the best attacking club/team on the planet right now and not every team can play their style. ask bayern munich.

sometimes result matters more.

frustrate Barca and you win. . .but play their style and you ship in goals like mad.

now 3.

wat a game. . .

raulllllllll

Casillas with another stop. this time from Eto'o.

wtf?

Casillas stops a rocket from messi. cracking.

what a cracking game. This is El Classico.
RM almost level.

Puyol gives Barca the lead with a cracking header.

1-2

Henry nets the equaliser.

1-1

Ramos with a beautiful cross and a beautiful header by Hugain. Wonderful finish.

RM 1- Barca 0.

the best channel to watch this is on Gol Tv. Those 2 commentators are just too much.

this should be a big clash. title decider.

All teams are beatable including Barca.
