    No, you're absolutely right.

    We definitely didn't beat them in 2008 on the way to winning the CL. Oh no.

    And we just beat them. Didn't lose at home or need away goals or anything.

    Yeh but have United ever won at the Nou Camp against Barca in a CL game with Messi playing against them when the ref was Greek?

    No so there. Rafa is king!

    And?, it still doesn't mean you've beat them at the Nou Campe which was the point before you tried to big up Utd's games against them at OT and also in a different competition.

    You beat them at the Nou Camp and went out of the competition a few days later. Congratulations, hope you still have your "We Won At The Nou Camp" t-shirt. Glory days.

    Yeah nobody remembers losers, who did Barca beat in the 2009 and 2011 CL finals?

    Wonder if the losing supporters of those two games proudly wear their "we wrere twatted by Barca" t-shirts.

    Rafa is a manager that does well with lots of money. He has very expensive taste and I guess that is required because his players are required to both be great attackers and defenders in a 4231 system, much like Mourinho. I could see it working at Madrid, but not if he's given just one year.

    I've heard he's planning on making Bale the number 1 player now and shoving Ronaldo to the wing. It could work, and not getting the best out of Bale was what cost Real the league this year. But will pretty boy get all stroppy? That's the question.

    Would that be his choice, or Perez ..

    Perez has said many times that Bale is a big part and will be focal point in the future.

    I think Rafa will probably know how to get the best out of a player that lit up the prem but is struggling under the weight of expectation at Madrid, in a difficult position. It's also the key to getting madrid to succeed (except of course just spending more millions on galacticos)

    Really, a 2 game run, having not won, oh the shame. You dope <laugh> Of course Barca never beat us in the CL at the Nou either. They must also be embarrassed so and we must take no pride in that either.

    You lot are still waiting for your first away win v Barca at the Nou. Maybe in the next decade, maybe
