I would also presume that with this wealt of talent that they have at DM/CM between Keita/Toure and Busquets that Barca are likely now to cool their interest in Mascherano in the Summer? Or is he still being linked?

i know i have a vested interest, but Barca don't need Mascherano.

they well and truly don't.

This is what I'm thinking as well. Its arguably the position they are best equipped in. Maybe they'd be interested if toure went elsewhere for more football, but even then he'd face a massive fight for regular football.

Good news for your lot anyway!

Isn't good enough on the ball either imo. He is tailor made for a counter attacking team because he is so amazing at retrieving the ball and tackling. Toure/ Busquets aren't as good in that department, but are better on the ball. He'd be wasted at Barca, and might be booked a little too often in La Liga.


Anyway, back on topic. COME ON BARCA! I strangely feel indifferent about this game, I'd love a draw, but a loss wouldn't be the worst result considering.

What a signing Sneijder has been for £13m pounds, not to mention picking up Pandev on a free in January.

flahavaj

Am really looking forward to this match. Can't wait to see what approach Jose takes to stopping the Barca passing carousel.

Thinking score draw here.

Why can't Irish commentators pronounce Xavi?

Soby

Woulda been some craic is Mosscow were still in this :P

Ush1

I think Motta will get sent off at some stage over the 2 legs.

GLaDOS

Backed the draw @ 9/4.

Pass it round the centre circle!

Frisbee

Lol at the tv3 commentator referring to Messi as Ibra for the past 20 seconds.

FearDark

Milito was a mile onside there.

DylanS09

Tv3 commentators are actually useless!!
They can't prononce Lionel,Xavi!
I'm sure there is more!!

So Andy Gray is very Anti-Barca.

Got that from the Arsenal game he done aswell.

Ush1

Eto'os temper hasn't changed one bit! Still love him though.

Headshot

I already hate that linesman

eto'o did **** all there

K4t

Disgraceful decision to penalise and give Eto'o a card there.

Frisbee

Barca got lucky with the Milito offside and then with the free against Eto'o which I don't think was a foul.

Sooner or later they're not gonna get one of those decisions if they keep defending like this.

Wrong decision to give the foul against him alright.

But the yellow was the right decision, you can't kick the ball away like that.

flahavaj

Inter are doing exactly what Espanyol did, hassling the Barca defenders when they have the ball. Cutting off the supply before it gets to the dangermen. Doing OK so far, but incredibly draining to do for 90 minutes.

Hardly, he holds them in very high praise and has praised them a few times already tonight. However, he does NOT suck their cocks throughout the match when he is supposed to be commentating on what is happening in the match.

Mr. Presentable

Inter not getting a decision in this one.

exactly not like the commentators that do the la-liga matches

gimmick

Extremely scrappy so far. Barca haunted with the offside and Eto'os "foul".

Chance. Bloody hell.

No - while he does say praising things he is always very quick to lash out on any little thing he see's as wrong. It stems from the Chelsea semi-final last season.

valdes strikes again

redout

Booyah!

Frisbee

Lol the Inter defence just fell asleep

Ush1

Get in!!!

gimmick

I am beginning to love young Pedrito.

Great play from Maxwell.

Mars Bar

What happened to the defence there?! Good finish.

ctrl-alt-delete

Fooking hell, for a sunday league game that was brutal defending nevermind a champions league semi final, the 2 of them just gave up!

Nice finish all the same, and same old Maxwell setting it up.

Frisbee

Then Lucio misses a free header.

Should have been 1-1 there.

IvySlayer

Lucio Lucio.....You will not get an easier chance than that against Barcelona.

the_monkey

Barca have allready won the competition.

Should be scraping the name on the trophy now ffs.

another stupid post by me ? check may 22nd who is lifting the trophy

done deal.

Headshot

jebus Milito your better than that

MIN2511

That should have been a goal!!!

Seaneh

Inter back in it and deservedly so.

redout

Shocking defending - Sneijder all on his own!

Headshot

about ****ing time

should of been 2-1 by now

ctrl-alt-delete

Jesus the defending on show tonight is laughable,

Both should score more tonight.

~Rebel~

Good goal, far too easy though.

Awful defending for both goals tonight.

Game on though!

Frisbee

That's been coming a while now.

Barca look very stretched at the back

Headshot

Pandev just not tracking back

redout

Alves wtf ?

Raskolnikov

Ibrahimovic roaring his head off at Messi.

Classy guy.
