messi the don..

just watch the highlight ... 1st goal good linesman ... 2 barca players offside but not messi ...

if 3rd class linesman sure the flag go up ...

anyways, should praise for the key-player in that match which is Xavi. What an excellent assistant.

definitely. Xavi is MOTM.

thanks to Pique too. he did a very good job to stop CR.

so far Barca never lose in Classico under Pep Guardiola.

Do you know Asenjo has now lost his place to a 19 y.o GK? Surely you can't compare VV with Asenjo, can you?

Added on April 11, 2010, 4:29 pmi think we all come to conclusion that vv deserve his shot with the national team, if we managed to retain the title, i hav a feeling that we hav a chance to see vv in the world cup, not as a supporters but as a player..

no wonder u warned bout the commentator.. i wonder what he was saying...

Galaticos Calculator

2009 Madrid 2-6 Barca

Summer 2009 : Spend 200 millions
2010 Madrid 0-2 Barca

Summer 2010 : Spend another 200 millions
2011 Madrid 0-0 Barca

so they should spend another 200 millions if want to get at least a draw result when facing team from another planet

This is what I call selective memory.

2008 Madrid 4 - 1 Barca

And how much did we spend after that? Van der Vaart for a measly 13ME. Barca went and bought Alves for 40ME.

But what do I know? Football is round and anything can happen next season

so that mean we only spend less than Madrid to turn 1-4 result to 6-2 and also can win UCL
while Madrid got another El Clasico defeat, not even reach quater final and lost to semi pro club in Copa after spend more than >200M

Well, not every forumer participated in our VV discussion before, so obviously many other forumers still think VV's inclusion shouldn't happen. Sure I can't change everybody's opinions, but when VV is mentioned in the same breath of Asenjo (I wonder, have they ever watched him in Atletico shirt?), I feel obliged to state the reality here.

lol

GOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

Honestly i have no doubt Barca will come out triumphant in this match, they are juz too good in form right now. a team that has no ownership problem, no debts, actively involved in charity ie UNICEF, playing attractive football and actually WINNING games with it, have world class players that are humble and down to earth, i would say Barca's fans are the happiest bunch of people right now

yup! barca fans are indeed the happiest right now
if only messi could have scored both 1on1 againts cassilias on the weekend..
it would be even better
a messi hatrick against madrid on their bernabeu would be the perfect 'in your face disgrace' to a certain r.madrid player

lifting the CL at bernabeu would be the best thing this season

It just means that how much u spend doesn't really directly correlate to what happens on the pitch. It helps obviously but there's more to football than that.
I thought I wouldn't have needed to explain this to you seeing as you've been watching football as long as I have. I mean after going through the Gaspart days I would have expected better from you. But as I said, selective memory.

Of course football is just more than that. You can try convince your president about that. I admit Barca have experienced worse scenario under Gaspart. RM has the potential to be in the exactly same situation, if the free spending policy goes on. Its not that its bad, but spending big in such a short period of time without letting the team recognize its own style of play, that is not good.

True, RM have their own squad, and it seems what is left now, is just leaving the squad to determine their style, and gel together. But the risks of the team failing to break all over the place in the future is huge, since RM have new players in nearly all over the field. First sign of such problem has already occured in Kaka. That's why people talk about this spending policy. You can't stop that. So, maybe you can stop being sensitive about every post containing the "200 million euros", and let people talk all they want.

RM players may prove them wrong, or RM will find the 'key', like we found Ronnie, or maybe they will be flops of the century. No one knows really. Neither do you. So just relax.

lol I have already let ppl talk all they want. But that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to post my opinion when I see fit. I'm quite relaxed actually

I don't see the risk of team falling apart seeing as most of the players are still young. I think in the long term Barca have a bigger concern regarding that.
And tbh it's just the media talking about Kaka and all the other "problems". Marca has probably been our worse enemy this season. But as fans there's nothing much we can do about it.

One thing for sure is that even in our worst periods we try to be as competitive as we can. We'll be back don't worry

yeah we doing bad in Orange`s era, even Cruyff said Van Gaal boy play like clown but the truth is we didn't spend too much like Madrid to build a great team, it bad we didnt win anything in 5 year but we only spend average fund to buy Ronnie and other player to win Liga and UCL back while my selective memory said Galaticos Part 1 just give one UCL and one Liga title after spend a millions to get Beckham, Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Ruud before this Galaticos squad win nothing in 04-05 and 05-06, today it seem Galaticos Part 2 which cost >200M will follow the part 1 fate while we still win UCL and Liga after spend average fund and maybe make it double this summer after spent a little bit more on Ibra. Sometime u must accept ur beloved club just have wrong ideology.

Why Madridista cant accept that It shame when get nothing after spend too much

Didn't spend too much? You think players like Rivaldo, Kluivert, Saviola, Overmars, Riquelme, etc were all cheap? You're having a laugh.
And we won 2 Ligas and 1 UCL with the first Galacticos but Beckham alone probably made back all the money we spent. That's what you guys don't seem to get.
There is no right or wrong ideology. It's only wrong when you spend beyond your means. It's like trying to tell Bill Gates that he shouldn't buy an expensive mansion or car because it's wrong for him to do so.

Maybe you should accept that your beloved club has almost always been playing second fiddle and that now you've been given the chance to shine. I mean even when we won the last 2 back to back titles I couldn't remember myself talking as much about Barca as you guys are consistently talking about us and our spending. You guys should enjoy this while it lasts and spend less time talking about us.

My friend is watching Messi doing a shooting session live. He says he's out of this world. From this twiiter: Messi's doing a scene where he dribbles zigzag through a line of cones, bt he's doing it so fast the camera can't keep up!
