Well I wasnt irate or anything, I was just comenting; i guess I came across angry....I didnt say it wasnt ok to predict, but as you know, the human psyche tends to work in such a way that overconfidence can negate talent specially in sports. It is better for athletes to be quiet and do their job, let their play do the speaking...Calderon is just dumb to me; no actually, he is just such a huge Real Madrid fan that he often forgets he is also the president of the club and thus its public and professional face....
So no I dont have a HUGE problem with predictions, but if you notice all the previas and articles, from the Barca camp all you hear is how hard they will play etc etc, from our camp all you hear is predictions.....Hubris (excesive Pride) according to the greeks was the greatest downfall of men, Pride is good, too much pride is an assasin.
As far as Roma...they are an enigma of sort. I will tell you that Totti is slowly declining, that means that one day he could be superb while for the next five he's average...so hopefully we catch him in a couple of those average days...all depends also on how the teams arrive to that game in February...By then the final straight of La Liga will be in sight, and so we will know how well or how poorly we both are too early to tell now
