today I've watched Eibar vs Uefalona. they were struggling even after ref decided to give Eibar the 2nd yellow for this 'incident' of hand kicking the ball. first this low-life busquets does what he does best. diop was booked and not happy with the decission orellana handkick the ball in the air and gets the red card.  Eibar were closing in so then the ref deceides to step in. 

Is Busquets ok? Did he lose one eye or both? I know a hand near your neck is very painful for your face and your eyes can pop out from the agony.

I had a mate like him at school, he always used to go down pretending he was hurt. Until one day we all thought he was faking,  we left him lying in the middle of a field in the rain with a broken ankle.

LOLOLOLOL 

Need a strong referee for the Chelsea v FC. Barcelona game. That type of behaviour is to be expected from FC. Barcelona. Those type of situations should be reviewed, and if found guilty, the player should be banned for cheating. Busquets trying to get another professional banned by his cheating behaviour should be deemed an offence, and therefore dealt with. I pray our game against them isn't ruined by a red card being dished out for outright cheating. We all know it's happened before.

Teams often get a red card against Barcelona when Barcelona are under pressure. When they start getting pressured, they bring out all of the tricks to con the ref, the worst part is how often refs fall for it. Their cheating ways have been pointed out and criticised for years and still the refs are fooled by them. You often hear players say "you don't want to see the opposition get a red card".......it's a load of crap of course, but Barcelona are the only team constantly looking for a red card for the opposition to make things easier for themselves. For such a great team, they are massive cowards.

Barcelona may have been the most successful team in the last 15 years, but they are also the biggest cheats. It's hard to respect their achievements when they have needed to rely on it so much over the years.

Real madrid have done better though in terms of success. I don't recall barça winning 3 out of 4 UCL. Real madrid did it last season. But apart from that I wholeheartedly agree with you ! Red card is guaranteed against them ... AND STILL SOME JOURNALISTS COULD BLAME YOU IF YOU WIN CAUSE YOU DESERVED A SECOND ONE ACCORDING TO THEM!!!! Hoping it won't be for any of the following : Hazard, Morata, Kanté, Christensen or Azpi. UEFA want Barça and Real through the final... They've been planing that for so many years !!! In 2012 They dreamt and were so close to reach it .... but We thought otherwise hahahaha ! But beware of that this season : just look at the pen in the RM PSG game or Neymar's yellow for instance !! It is guaranteed we'll conceed a pen against them if we're playing good against them !!! No matter what !!! It is guaranteed we'll have Hazard booked !!!! But last time we were 10 men down and conceded a pen against them, we still wen through !! I hope the players remember that and play confidently and aggressively against them !! UTC!!

Also, it is hard to admit it but I hope for the day both Messi and Ronaldo retire ... Refeering will benefit from that !! It's just too obvious whenever either of Barça or RM play, UEFA want them to advance so that they can clash in the Semis or Final of the UCL !!! To me, this has ruined this decade and that's why I don't hold these players with the utmost respect when basically they've more or less played with 12 men instead of 11 !!

To be honest, I couldn't careless why they do it. All big teams throughout their years of dominance have had calls gone their way. Just the nature of the beast when you are flying high. 

This fixture is what I'm concerned about. It's had more controversy then any other I can remember. Jose called bullsh*t 13 years ago when Rijkaard was up to no good. The celebration from Jose at the end of that tie said all you needed to know about that tie. It's simple, when it's 11 v 11 they struggle to beats us. But when you bring in to it, several penalties turned down, players sent off and dubious decisions going against you, things are made easier for FC. Barcelona. All I ask is it's a fair fight, then if we get knocked out, fair is fair. I tell you now, they didn't want this tie. It's not a matchup they like. 

UEFA are an absolute vile, disgusting, corrupt organisation. It's not like they even try to hide their blatant cheating. The biggest screw job in ALL OF SPORTS was the ' Robbery at Stamford Bridge ' that Chelsea v FC. Barcelona game was almost unbelievable the way it went down. One day everything that happened that night will be revealed. Everyone involved in that need to be made accountable for what they did. 

Another reason why I really don't care for the Champions League, too much corruption, too many dull group stage games.

I think Didier summed it up perfectly.

 

Barcelona players are systematic in the way they pressure refs,  they do it for every single tackle very very aggressively, no matter how innocuous the "foul" to get the referee in a frame of mind their opposition are dirty and kicking them out of the game. This often means when they go behind their diving pressures the red into booking opposition players,  it's disgusting. 

The Sunday Times did a feature on Fabregas and his ties to Barca. They commented on the history between us and them, the drama and the grudges, but this bugged me: they talked about the 'museum piece goals', and highlighted Ronaldinho's amazing toe-poke and Iniesta's that stole the game in 2009. Both Barca goals. What about Ramires? What about Essien? And what about Lamps'chip from an impossible angle? All 3 were on another planet to Iniesta's.

It seems only Barca can score memorable goals, in the eyes of the press.

 

Core group of players for RM and barcelona are all in the early to mid 30s. Ronaldo 33, Iniesta 33, Messi 30 and the list goes on. After next season they will need to rebuild their team, wont be easy. Maybe time for English clubs to start dominating again.

Diego just showed Morata how to finish 1 on 1

The Ramires goal was the best of the lot. When you put into context the importance of it, it proves to be the best. 

Lampard's pass, Ramires having the confidence to chip the keeper when we were in a mess, us being down to 10 men, the goal coming just before the half time whistle was blown. If this goal wasn't scored when it was, i think we would have been knocked out. This goal wasn't just good, it was one of the biggest goals in our history. It's up there with Drogba's header in the final, Lampard's goals to win us our first league title in 50 years and Gronkjaer's goal against Liverpool to secure our spot in the Champions League before Roman arrived.

don't take it personally - most people feel Barca are a true footie team & that CFC are only mercenaries - only CFC fans want us to win this tie & you know what that is fine by me - phuck the hatas - their tears will taste sweeter when CFC rises to the top again

Spurs losing 1-0 to Rochdale.
