Pedro scored twice against Real Madrid and played well, Madrid not a big game? Pedro is good player, and if he was not that good he wouldn't be starting for Barcelona. If he was that bad he wouldn't be starting for Barca, nor getting called for Spain, nor scoring 20+ goals a season.


Pedro is a quality player. A player who knows the barcelona system as it comes like 2nd nature to him and the string of players they have coming from their academy.

Indeed, granted Busquets is a decent player and has his role because he is a good passer then a good DM (half the DM Mascherano is, but superior passer), but he is really clunky and annoying mofo. And I dont mean for the playacting bit, he isnt worst then most players at that (though the peekabo thing was pathetic), but he is generally bit annoying on the pitch.

Exactly! haha you remembered the peekabo he did. I really wanted to give him a dry slap when he did that. Like the roll on roll of scenario that Reyes did when he was at Arsenal. Does my head in so much.

Valdes is 3 times more annoying, every team has a big douche on the pitch, and Barca's is Valdes (used to be Marquez more). Busquets is more of somewhat annoying, compared to Valdes who manages to annoy you every game, regardless of score (not only losing, like his shameful behaviour against Inter). Any minor thing that happens on the pitch, he runs across the pitch and makes it more tense/violatile by being himself.

Whys that? he hardly ever gets to touch the ball. He must be loving his clean sheet bonuses.
This dude saved me a post.

OptaJoe on Twitter: "1 - Since Opta started analysing all Champions League games in 2003, Arsenal are the only team ever to record zero shots in a match. Blanks."


Lucky Barça my arse.

Pay attention to him when the play stops on Barca games, mainly bigger games, he runs to any sitaution and tries to pick fights with opposition players.

Thinking about it, you're right. I remember not so long ago when Barca trounced Real 5-0 at the Nou Camp that he ran all the way to deal with Ronaldo after he pushed Pep Guardiola by the touch line.

"Since 1992/93, 15/16 teams who managed a 1-0 away win in the first leg of a CL knockout tie have qualified for the next round. Spur."

"Spurs' defence has been shaky at times in Europe this season, but they are not the only ones. Of all the teams still in the Champions League only Milan have allowed more shots on target (43) than Tottenham themselves (39)."
