I’m sitting here in my Barca jersey eating KD and watching the game on tape after listening to it live at work. No one at work understood why I was so grumpy after we lost.. I guess they just don’t understand it. God I hope we smash Madrid in the Clasico.

Btw, It was Zambrotta who made the assist… and of course had to play with the yellow, but I thought he did a pretty good job of quieting down Mizz Ronaldo (at least with the football.)
Oh, and I totally disagree with the assessment of Ronaldo’s latest fling. Without the fake body parts and overdone hair gel/makeup, she’d be OK, but the added features make her somewhat unattractive IMO.

Yeah, taking Iniesta off was horrible. I’m not able to watch games but once in a blue moon, but I’m not understanding what Eto’o has done to have a stranglehold on the center striker position. Did Rijkaard ever consider trying to play Henry in his preferred position?? I’ve liked Eto’o for a while… so I have a hard time badmouthing him, but I have the feeling his ball handling skills made it out of the question to play him out wide, so Henry was the one to change. That doesn’t mean you can’t change tactics when plan A doesn’t work…

John, goat of the match is Zambrotta. He was horrible throughout.

I’m gutted. Absolutely gutted. I haven’t felt this bad about a sporting event in a long while.

I’ll be back with a vengeance after Kevin gives his review. I expect that he’ll thrash Zambrotta and Eto’o.

Really disappointing. Eto’o gets goat of the match, goat of both legs, if you ask me. It seemed that every time he got the ball up front he turned his back to goal and sent some slow ball back for someone gutsier to have a go at. Henry should have come in way earlier in both matches.

I’d say the player that deserved this win most was Messi, who at times seemed the only Barcelona player committed enough to challenge. Big changes needed for the Catalans. But now I might just skip the all English Final, especially if Chelsea goes through. I can think of more entertaining ways to waste my time.

Oh yeah, and lastly: Henry for Iniesta? INIESTA? Leaving Eto’o in? Rijkaard might as well have waived and headed for the parking lot right then. Ugh.

i think they just really wanted it too bad…even more than us…you could see them chasing balls like madmen…even the dumb commentators said that Barca did not have any attack whatsoever from the left..Damn you Ronnie…punk!!..what he did this year what totally unacceptable..just loosing interest in the middle of it…I thought these guys were “professionals”…no wonder the team looks massively disjointed….don’t let him go for less than 50quid…and sell him to mancity..let him rot there

2007 – 2008 ends pretty much the way it was since December: frustrating, befuddling, and toothless. So ends an era, let the bloodletting begin.

Excuse me Daniele, your inflated sense of self-worth astounds me…You compare Roma to Barca and Arsenal??? HA!

Yes, we played tactically, yes we played negatively at times to get the job done, but for you to put your PITIFUL team alongside us is about as ignorant as it gets….
