Champions League Season 2010/11

Did anyone see the heated discussion between Francis Awaritefe (sp) and Ned Zelic at half time of the first leg between Barca and Real?
That was quality.

[pels]

Barca running rings around Real , should have at least 1 goal by now 0-0 at HT

Barca 1-0
Goal to Pedro.
Barca should be up by a couple, more puzzling tactics by the special one.

Spot on. Half of them are a crock.
Shows how ridiculous transfer fees have become, half those guys are not worth a quarter of what they cost, a lot of overated footballers on that side.
Mourinho got the result he wanted, he stated at start of semi he wanted a 1-1 at barca. His tactics are baffling, your 2-0 down and then come out and offer stuff all in first half.
He will get the boot, the madrid president hates negative football but thats mourinhos style.

Valencia scores after a great ball from gibson puts him through.

I don't know how you can say Mourinho's style is negative

Chelsea were all flair when he was manager. All out attack.
I guess he has to play a style that suits the cattle he has got

[Jim05]

Final Score
United 4-1 Schalke
United win 6-1 aggregate.
Through to third final in 4 years.
Well done this morning, schalke was lucky we only scored 4, but we were a bit sloppy and nowhere near as good as first leg

[johntheclaret]

Total domination by United who look a class above even whith a weakened side. The two stand in centre backs have been excellent. Nani has had a great game and even Anderson has looked good tonight.

Valencia top class.

Barca will not have it easy as United know very well how to play European football

Well done United now go and stuff those Barca gits

Mourinho is a very negative manager. He had a side capable of winning 5 or 6 nil most weeks yet they scraped out a heap of dull 1-0 results. No doubt a fantastic manager with an excellant record but he is very defensive minded. The CL semi was a prime example, play for 0-0 at home at draw 1-1 away to go through on away goals, what a load of rubbish. So many times he has parked the bus and sat on a 1-0 result. But results are the most important stat, ask any arsenal fan whether they would rather win or play sexy football.

No I don't mind him but his shooting is absolutely woeful. I think he had only scored twice before todays game even though one was a tap in. His first goal was a nice finish. Usually he puts them into Row Z.
