Bybuti, get real, red cards for three players? No.
Gonzalez missed a couple of fouls, and they were nothing serious, that's happens in every match to every ref, it's perfectly normal. They were better, that's why they lost, accept it.
Btw, just wanted to say this after thinking about it, if this loss makes Laporta and co. realize they have to sack Frankie and sell Ronnie and Deco, I don't mind that much. It would suck much more if we had won with a couple of lucky goals by R10, so Laporta just couldnt sell him, and we'd be stuck with him forever.
If he Laporta can sell Ronnie, we have a very bright future. We could still get some good money out of him and Deco, so we can buy some upp-and-coming stars for replacement. Think of our attack in a couple of years:
Bojan and Gio may have talent, but I don't think they will be leading the Barcelona frontline at the ages of 19 and 21 respectively ...
you know, Eto'o is only 26 ... a couple of years down the line, I am convinced that -- barring injury -- he will be at the peak of his powers ... and I personally would love to have Eto'o at his best at the apex of our formation, rather than rely on kids who would still have much maturing to do ...
and all this antagonization of Ronnie seems a bit harsh to me ...
EDIT: here's a video of what I am referring to:
yes, of course he is not giving his best, and is not putting in the hard yards at the gym to keep himself in tip-top shape ... but I've said it before, and I'll say it again: can you imagine facing a rejuvenated Ronnie who's rediscovered his best form at some other big team?! if the problem is fitness and mental focus, then I would prefer him to get both of those taken care of at the Camp Nou, than anywhere else ...
as for Frankie, please refer to my big post on the previous page for my opinion ...
I know that Rafa Benitez's dream job is managing at Real Madrid ... but I don't know if he'd say "no" if we came calling ...
and more than vague comments -- like those that suggest Mourinho shouldn't be our choice because he said something before and after our Champions League encounters with them as part of his brand of psychological warfare -- I'd like to hear who people would like to see replace Rijkaard, if indeed Laporta finally grows the balls to let "his man" go ...
I don't think it could be anyone other than Mourinho right now.
Anything he said about us was, as Xifio said, just part of his tactics.
He's out of contract, one of the best around, and he wants to come here. Brilliant tactically, and I think his style would be perfect for the team after the laid-back Rijkaard style.
Nope, Mourihno is coming to Milan! And Ronaldinho is coming to Milan seeing you guys don't respect him really seems a bit ungrateful i mean even at his lowest he's better than 99% of all the other players in the world. Maybe he doesn't have motivation because you people put him down all the time, i just watched a clip on goal.com and it was really sad how barca(don't jump at me right away arnau i don't have that c/s letter on my keyboard) fans treat ronaldinho. No player deserves this, i mean you're all acting like he's satan not a football player! RONNIE come to where you're appreciated, where every player is appreciated, AC MILAN!

I'm not, i am most certainly sure that most Barcelona fans respect Ronaldinho, i was responding to that act in particular. It came out a bit wrong but you know what i mean.
I dont know wats up with Barca, i was rootin for you guys to take out Madrid and cut that lead. Obviously you guys need to change things, My man Mourinho prolly goin to Ac Milan where i really wish he succeeds, I dont kno why you some of you guys hating on Mourinho, he was at Barca under Robson when you guys had Ronaldo tearin it up, so he has a lil Barca blood in him, he also expressed his liking of managing Barca and Madrid.
As for the trash talking, Mourinho talks to keep the pressure off team, and if Mourinho were to come with Ronaldhino still on ship, Mourinho would definitely return him back to shape 100% positive, every club hes managed no player has had any problems with thier fitness level, because his training style works the body hard and gets the players fit at the top level.

Good coach but don't know if us La Liga fans need or want the circus that accompanies him. I can see him now trash talking everyone and blaming everyone for every little thing...oh geez please go to italy! Barca are fine. Get rid of Deco, Dinho and that's that. Players like Iniesta , Messi, and the kids are their future.
