I think you're fecked, mate. Barca players don't give a shít and the Betis lads are up for this.

I wouldnt hold out much hope for that in fairness the way things are going :pac:

He's just a bit erratic and you don't know what you are going to get from him, he can pull off great saves and 2 minutes later he could try something mad like trying to dribble a ball past an attacker and lose it.

redout

Good man Paco - just backed me up on Puyol absence

Out of all the teams to bank on on an accumulator to come in, Usually you would be golden.

I never realised how annoying that presenter for the spanish league games is. He's bordering on Andy Gray levels at this point.

Ossie is great though, its like he's after a dose of speed

gimmick

And someone said last week he thought Milito was a better option that King Carles. Must say though, I have never seen him as bad. At fault for all 3 goals. Ill be surprised if he comes out for the 2nd half.

That little mix up between Xavi and Messi sums up Barca tonight.

What a miss from Messi

dagdha

Harsh peno on Betis....Justice

Raskolnikov

Is Messi only playing because Ronaldo is playing all Real's cup matches and wants to be top scorer?

Headshot

John terry would of been proud of that miss. Justice was done anyway

dagdha

Barca are playing so narrow, there is nothing coming down the left. Keita and Bojan are at nothing.

No masturbating in the commentary box or studio tonight.

dagdha

Bojan seems to be going backwards in his developement, he is like a dear caught in headlights when he gets the ball or he just puts his head down and runs.

I reckon that lad Messi wouldn't be up to much on a wet night against Stoke at the Britannia :P

Raskolnikov

Should be 4-1, off the post Betis.

Raskolnikov

Barca go defensive, lol.

redout

Poor aul Messi losing his footing then the chunk of turf coming up.

Somewhat reminiscent of Beckham several years back.

Was a harsh peno to be given in the first place.

Raskolnikov

Mascherano is just a waste of time in this Barca team.

Aye, the more I watch him the more I come to the conclusion that he just aint a Barca player.

He is all about brute force - hence why he flourished in the epl but fails in la liga - a league where technicality trumps physicality.

Biggest difference between him and Busquets is that Bus has the technical ability, one touch play and knows what to do with the ball.

redout

Well worth their victory.

Almeria in the semi-final.

dfx-

I only saw the end of the first half and second half, but that's how I remember Barcelona at Betis...

Mascherano played well I thought. Several notches above Maxwell, Milito, Adriano and especially Bojan. Afellay was decent and Jeffren was very good when he came on I thought. As was Abidal.

CorkMan

Almerica could be difficult for Barca, especially if they happen to get a goal early on.

CR 7

Suppose it's hardly even worth reporting, but Ronaldo scored just the once. Atletico 0-1 Real, 23min.

CorkMan

Ronaldo!

how ye can only dream of him now park:p

Was that a Messi chant i heard from the Atletico fans? They were jeering him getting stretchered off the last time he was there.

Foiled again, BERBA. No need to dream, cos I am actually watching him play right now.

CorkMan

Superb back pass from Ronaldo, crap attempt from Di Maria.

I don't like Di Maria, I wish Benzema was on.

all this diving and trying to get people yellow and red carded is really frustating to watch. Players in spain have no pain threshold at all.

Mars Bar

Forlan is useless tonight

They dive cos they know they can get away with it, and possibly get the other player booked. I say if they were in England they'd soon cop on, especially if they get punished. In Spain Torres was notorious for going down in the box.

From tonight, Kaká was good. Played a fine through ball for Marcelo and linked up great with Ozil then almost assisted Ronaldo. He is coming back!
