The Superclasico Overkill thread

[Kompany]

Manchester where Ferguson will make room for him? He will go to Manchester, but when the time's right.

He left Inter because he'd come at the end there. The team was old and there was no money to bring in new players. In Madrid he's got a young team that can easily go on for a number of years and there will probably be money available if he needs it. He's already stated he wants to do his whole 4 year contract at Real.

Love Sexy Serge.

Don't we all!

I didn't mean United Kompany. I meant City who will break the bank to get Mourinho. He loves the EPL and it loves him. At city he would have the money to directly attack the pre eminence of the most recognisable sportsbrand in the world across town.....such a challenge would appeal to him.

 

[Kompany]

City would be a great challenge but if he goes, he can say goodbye to coaching United for a while and I think that's what he wants (pretty sure he's mentioned in interviews he wants to take over from Ferguson eventually). Mourinho doesn't bs around, everyone knows he wants to have another go in England, but only this month (or last) he's said he wants to stay at Real until the end of his contract.

Seriously, what coach would leave a club with Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka (probably over it but I'm sure they'll replace him if necessary), Higuain, Xabi Alonso and all + up and coming world class talent in Ozil, Khedira, Benzema, Di Maria and Canales? Not a challenge? He hasn't won la liga yet and he'll love being CL favourites for the next few seasons. If he wins the CL this season, then next season will be an even bigger challenge. He wouldn't have quit Chelsea either had they won a CL with him.

1. He quit Chelsea because of Roman
2. don't care what anyone says - if the United job wasn't available and possibly even if it was, I think the Liverpool job would appeal to his ego more. the challenge of being the first manager in **** knows how long to do it for them could prove too tempting.
3. don't see him leaving yet - primarily because he wants to win the la liga title before moving on - so he can say I've won here, here, here etc. etc. not having won would mean leaving a country without something he has always won. if he won the spanish league next season (and whatever else he wins this season and next) I think he'd be very tempted to leave. until then.... don't see it happening.

 

[Godzke]

Makes me wonder where Pep will be in a few years time. Has only coached for 3 seasons and has developed considerable greys in that short space of time.

[Godzke]

I'm glad he's at least competent enough to hold a shirt

Jesus, as if we weren't unpopular enough already

Don't we all!

 

[Godzke]

Milito and Puyol fit. Good to hear. Maxwell and Adriano still injured. No idea who plays LB then.

And Wolfgang Stark will officiate. No ref has awarded more penalties this season than him. Previously the official was going to be a Portuguese dude. Thank god that didn't eventuate.

 

[youngsaint]

The Wolfgang i see. What a peanut.

 

[Bourky23]

anyone that has a name like Wolfgang immediately earns my respect.

 

[Kaan]

Will be watching the 3rd Classico today.

Cant wait for the ref surrounding that will be on offer every minute.

I'll look forward to seeing Madrid doing the opposite and just getting on with the game.

Football how it should be played.

Hard, but fair.

Honestly - in Mourinho v Barca games - how many of his players have they got sent off and incredibly, most of the time the dude still ****ing previals! Bloody incredible really.

1. Drogba for something ridiculous
2. Del Horno, slightly high, awkward tackle but nothing more. Hard yellow.
3. Lucio last season - actually, I think it was one of their other players?
and what has there been 2 while he's been at Madrid?

what 5 or 6, already? in just a small amount of games.

How to beat a Mourinho side? Just get them down to 10. That should make it easier.

Honestly, some football sides believe in the fair play principles which make football a viewing spectacle. While others, and I won't name them to be controversial prefer to do everything but. Anything unsportsmanlike you can name? All for what? Class is a big thing in football and when you decide to stop carrying it.... well it definitely minimises everything you achieve in the eyes of the neutral public. That's their choice but it's a poor one imo.

 

[belfast_bomber]

The Motta (not Lucio) one was well harsh - peekaboo! - but the Del Horno one wasn't.

The two in clasicos this year weren't that relevant, think they were 4-0 down already when Ramos got sent off in the Nou Camp, and Di Maria's in the cup final was in the 121st minute.

Yes Barcelona pressure referees. So do Madrid though.

This is a battle without good guys.

 

[Bourky23]

2. Del Horno, slightly high, awkward tackle but nothing more. Hard yellow.

it was one of the filthiest 'challenges' i've ever seen.

if anything, he was lucky he didn't hurt messi seriously because otherwise he'd probably still be banned.

 

[apollo_creed]

it was more clumsy than anything.

he wasn't very good and evidently tackling was his most prominent weakness.
he can't help it.

and without good guys?
madrid would be ok if not for ronaldo. well maybe not but they have mourinho.
ohh wind up with one of those shit free kicks of yours cristiano - 1/100 is on target but take every one and waste them mate. go on you selfish twat.

come on bb. compared to barca. everyone is likeable.

why do i get the feeling that thanks to that comment he will now score an absolute pearler from a dead ball tomorrow morning?

 

[Kaan]

Here we go

 

[Kaan]

Took Barca 4.5 minutes to start surrounding the ref.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

For some reason I thought the first game was in Barcelona. Looks to be a very tight match, hopefully opens up a bit in the second half with some tired legs. Still give the edge to Barca.

 

[Kaan]

Mourinho playing for a 0-0 here, not sure how that's going to help when you play at Camp Nou next.

 

[Kaan]

This is just painful to watch

 

[NMFCMUFC]

Busquets and Pedro... yeah.... beautiful football, they just play the game with beauty don't they jeez.

 

[youngsaint]

Pedro and Biscuits being scum as per usual. Shocking faking of injury.

Barca 2nd keeper Pinto got red from the bench
