Any fan who honestly thought the Treble was attainable was dreaming.

It's all I've heard from them lately, they were drinking the same kool aid last year as well.

El Clasico thoughts

1. I hate Ray Hudson as much as ever
2. This ref is a bitch

Thats just dumb. You shouldnt worry what so many others think anyway. Only me.

I Lol'd at the red card in El Classico. Only cuz on Wednesday, Jose said that he would be playing with 10 men at some point in the game.

The red card was the right decision. No choice, Albiol tried to strangle him.

Villa should have won the game on two occassions though, poor first touch let him down

Dirk Kuyt signed an extension to remain at Liverpool until 2013. Excellent news.

Soccer still going on? Pussy sport.

Sounders draw in ridiculous weather. Goal by El Flaco in the 92nd minute to tie it up.

Frustrating game to watch.

Raul Albiol is a bum, Garay is way better than that bum.

I watched it on ESPN 3 on my Xbox. Tommy Smith from was the commentator and he basically took a jab at Barca. He said Villa has the same goal scoring record as Zlatan did and Zlatan got ran out of town. For some reason Villa's gettin a pass. He was bad.

Also just throwin this out there, and I know how bad Nani is. But if you wanna see some real acting, just watch Sergio Busquets. That kid makes me wanna shoot myself.

There's a lot more to Villa than his scoring record. Ibra had a good one, but he forced Barca to play one way. Villa is able to move out to the flanks and cut in, allowing Messi (and sometimes Pedro) to play up top. Not being able to track a single striker is the entire base of Barca's offence as Xavi and Iniesta pick out their runs.

I agree with everything you said...Except. They paid €40 million. Sooner or later, hell have to start scoring again.

Heres the one thing I never understood. How Barca drop points to the worst teams in La Liga sometimes?

I think it's only natural to take your foot off the gas on occassion. In the Hercules game, Herc parked the bus and Barca couldn't find that breakthrough. Drenthe was able to use his pace to open up Barca on the counter for the winner.

Also, the Neverkusen tag will stick for another year. Currently getting trounced 4-0 by Bayern. If Dortmund can beat an average Freiburg side (and keep my new man crush Papiss Cisse off the scoreboard), they will be back to 8 pts clear with 4 to go
