La Liga jornada 10

Exactly...all the tough games in this half of the schedule are over. Just Atletico, and maybe Villarreal.

I don't see bish as one of those embittered posters that is more at home slagging off other teams than supporting his own, but having seen Arsenal-L'pool on the box today I can understand his frustration. Good players, all giving it a go, but the system sends the ball through Zenden, IMO not up to it at that level.

I'll be worried in about 5 mins or so, once the euphoria of this win has died down...definitely a big problem for us, but we just have to somehow get through to January now.

I think we should consider playing Iniesta on the right.. or maybe shifting Guddy out to the right and have Saviola up front..

Next match I want Márquez as defensive midfielder and Thuram in defense.. No 3 pitufos in midfield please..

Its nice to see all the cules here tonight, did you guys win ?

Good point,we should definitely have Marquez in there. For the right position, I'd prefer Guddy rather than Iniesta - he wasn't too comfortable when he played there a couple of seasons ago.

btw, Marca now saying Messi out for 2 months. Better, but still a worry. I just realised we still have to sort out our Ch. League situation

For now, this makes for nice viewing:

He has a personal feud with Messiah which has resulted in hating FC Barcelona and especially Dinho...

Poor attempt, you know we're all always here. It'll be interesting though if Messiah comes back tomorrow

lol i didnt mean you ...

That's awesome. Iniesta is one of my favourite players to watch at the moment.

And he hates all the media hype around us and Ronaldinho and how commentators always exaggerate our play based on reputation. I'm not exactly a fan of it either, but something tells me he wouldn't complain if it was his own team. Not just singling you out Obispo, it's probably what any fan would do tbh.

I know, I'm just sticking up for my fellow cules.

With about 15 mins left, Iniesta's passing in the match was 34/36 passes successfully completed. That's a 94% completion rate!!!

Sad but true...

And I was going to the match but got caught up with extra work for a presentation tomorrow morning

Without meaning to sound high and mighty, I have always fucking detested it when Gerrard has been singled out for such treatment.

I've said a few times this season that I'm sick of the circus that surrounds him and my feelings are the same with regards to Barca.

I think you're capable of some breath-taking football. But I also think you're just as likely to ruin a football game with some unsportsmanly behaviour or by getting some extremely dodgy descisions like today. I'm just pointing it out in the same way that I would if it was United or Chelsea. It's just banter.

There was one moment in the first half though - it was the move that earned Zaragoza the corner they scored from - Sky's commentators spoke about neeskens and Ten Cate over a good 10-15 passing movement from Zaragoza that was as good as anything Barca had produce up until that point.

Stuff like that, built up over 2-3 seasons, is infuriating for a 'neutral'.

@ LSR:
To defend myself: I am not always on here during games because of my family situation, but you can check the posts and see I have been posting vigorously even during the time we were trailing.

Barca vs Liverpool, in the next round of the Champions League would be good.

We got a Motta sent off for nothing today.. so no extra help.. and as a far as unsporting behaviour, I think you are exaggerating.. we always have the opponents fouling us every time the players try to dribble, just as a unsporting in my view..

I would welcome it with open arms. Same with Lyon.

I think the Cules missed that part of the game mate

neutrals didn't find much else to warm their hearts about in Zaragoza's game tonight, so maybe you are not as unbiased as perhaps you see yourself.

You seem to have picked barça out as your anti-football club, when even as a neutral (and I think I can be very objective and say that RM 1997 was one of the finest footballing outfits I've seen) you must appreciate barça. So don't slag us off just for the sake of it.

No way.. Don't want anymore English teams.. Give us French/Italian/Portuguese etc etc.. but no more Technique vs. Force matches please..

But now you can see Chelsea fan's anger with the Drogba sending off in 04-05 no?

Unfortunately it happens to all teams. We had Terry sent off last week for doing what appeared to be f'ck all.

I appreciate some of the football that you're capable of, but I don't forget the very cynical side you're also prone to displaying.

And admittedly, I do find it difficult to be a "neutral" with regards to Barca at present, because everytime I watch you play the commentary on you makes me want you to lose.

Rest assured, 3-4 seasons ago, when you were struggling and constantly being dismissed, I wanted you to compete for the league.
