    This is actually quite a poor game. Both teams are so sloppy its unreal.
    The Barca defence is gash!

    I really hope this happens! I hate Barca with a passion (passing the ball sideways all the time doesn't make a very good game of football in my eyes!) and Real aren't much better. Would love for someone random like Valencia, Villareal or even Malaga (the Man City of Spain) to win it <ok>

    Should of bought a defender...or 4, but buying Fabregas does seem to have been a master stroke.

    5 goals 4 assists in 7 games.

    Messi and £10 million? Are you crazy! Perch is the most versatile player on the planet...

    Oh i agree. He can play as a **** RB, a **** CB, or convert to a striker for the opposition.

    He is statistically the most creative midfielder in the world I think and his and Messi's link up is world class already but they could have got by without him, or at least Sanchez, who had one good season in Serie A previously.

    Yeah, they have clicked so easily, been good to watch those two play, as well as the rest of the Barcelona side. 9 goals 9 assists in 8 for Messi, crazy.

    It's because Messi, Fabregas and Pique were all in the same youth teams at Barca for years and are very close friends, the passing/understanding is bordering on telepathic at times.

    Aye, I guess it would be too much to hope one day Newcastle will have their own La Masia <Laugh> and developing the best players in the world.

    Imagine being 16 and the Barca youth team arrives, you'll be playing against what will be arguably the 3 best players in their position in the world in a few years.

    Ive always said Barca's backline isn;t very strong. Trouble is they are so good going forward and their midfield hog the ball for 9/10th's of the game...they dont get tested enough.

    Doesnt take a footballing genius to work out if any team in the world plays Mascherano, Busquets or Abidal at centre back....they can be exposed.

    AC Milans Pato did the old 'kick and run' trick against them in the first minute. You hardly ever see that in modern day football....never mind at the best team on the planet.

    Barcelona best attacking team. Most effective playing style. Poor defence without Puyol and Pique.

    Would like to see Barca v Man U part 3 this season......!
