    A little bit of both. I look forward to it because on paper, it's a showcase of two of the best teams in Europe featuring some great footballers. But the same old story is becoming tiresome. Barcelona diving (Spanish football summed up) and always trying to influence the referee. Madrid setting themselves up (partly Mourinho's fault) to tarnish the occasion. When Madrid start the game to win and take the lead, they play fast fluent football and at times, Barcelona can't cope because they aren't about defending. When the tide turns and it's Barcelona on the attack, Madrid resort to strict defending and tough tackling.

    Both teams are as bad as each other and it's sadly becoming a showcase of poor sportsmanship.

    Next Wednesday, the 25th. At Anfield, I can see Liverpool holding out and winning the tie. Man City weren't convincing last night against Wigan and they've got the massively in form Tottenham at the weekend.
  8. thank you Tim .. i admit i sympathize with Liverpool since i was a kid .. and they gave me a big satisfaction back in 2005 (i guess)

    sorry i know there's a great rivalry between you and them
  9. It's ok Ronnie, I was supporting Milan that evening

    Get this for a statistic:

    "In the latest Opta stats released Swansea City’s Leon Britton has the best passing accuracy in Europe’s top five leagues.

    The 29-year-old midfielder tops a pile including pass master Xavi, his Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets and, in fact, anything the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1 has to offer.

    Britton’s central midfield partner Joe Allen also features in the top 10, which emphasizes the style of football Brendon Rogers has instilled in his side"

  10. interesting statisitc
    well much depends on the kind of passages they do .. if they do it to a mate right one meter close .. don't know at all about that Britton but this can explain why Terry and Busquets are so high
    not surprised Xavi is there though

    Leon Britton is a playmaker so his passes are more creative and forward thinking. Agree about the defenders, they play short simple passes. But it does explain why Swansea are playing so well.
