I can understand your frustrations with this sort of thing but you musn't confuse this with the wider view of the average English football fan. A lot of us can see what is going on and don't need it spoon fed to us by the sensationalist media. But on the same token, do you regularly read...

Did you watch the Arsenal - Barca games on English TV? Nobody is down playing Messi, they haven't done since his performance at Stamford Bridge a few years ago. In fact people like Andy Gray were going over the top about his performance at the Camp Nou.

I read it every day. "Silly English" "English scum" "Typical English" "I'm glad the English got knocked out" Paraphrasing of course but there is a lot of bitterness on these boards. Maybe it's a result of having a few scots on here, I don't know, but it's more accepted than negative...

His comment tonight was out of order, but I don't seen any difference with some of the comments on here tonight. It smacks of double standards.

Because he's not a raving, racist lunatic like the majority on this forum? Another person who didn't watch the game.

Seriously can't understand there are people from Sweden supporting Barcelona.

Nope, sorry, not worth arguing with you if you can't see how playing with ten men can hinder your ability to keep possession. But anyway, what's done is done, Barca should walk this now.

First half was all United, and the possession and shots stats show this. That is why we know you didn't watch the game.

You obviously didn't watch the game. It looked a certainty until Rafael got sent off.

How so?

You do realise that it's in jest don't you? He got a pretty good reception when he came on.

Yeah...that was tongue in cheek. Did you not read the second line? The approach under Ferguson wasn't always this defensive, in the 90s and to a lesser extent the early 00s the mentality was always to score one more than the opposition. But Ferguson wasn't happy with the mixed results this...

Maybe we don't like embarrassing teams. Or, more realistically, we never do any more than is needed to win. It's all about conservation of energy in long seasons like this, something which Arsenal have struggled with in recent years. Also, tell me, what good teams have Arsenal put to the...

Basically you are clueless, and not worth replying to.

Interesting how his name crept in there despite the fact that he was hardly setting the league alight during his second year with United especially. But it's hardly suprising given his recent form and the fact that you support city. Just nonsense. Chelsea do not have as much clout as you think...

But it's the same every year. Last year Utd were a one man team with Ronaldo, this year it's with Rooney (despite the fact that Rooney was in the team last year as well). Work that one out, because I can't. Not true at all. Rooney has only scored 28 of Utd's 92 goals (in all competitions)...

But in the sense that you think he's overrated in England he is similarly underrated on the continent. Someone earlier posted that Rooney isn't gifted technically. I'm sorry, but what bull****. Someone with that opinion has obviously never seen him play. His first touch is impeccable and his...

Chelsea ripping it up. How long left does Resino have?

Porto 1 nil down, that's surprising.

I'd disagree with that. I think it's fair to say that Evra and Maicon are the two standout players at the fullback position. Both world class because they can attack like wingers, and defend like defenders.
