Barcelona toyed with Real Madrid on Saturday; they let them score first to make the game competitive. They then scored two goals but Real Madrid equalised so they scored another to put more distance between them.
Barcelona could have scored whenever they felt like it and the 6-2 score line at the Bernabeau was flattering to Real Madrid. Besides Iker Casillas it could have ended 13-2 and that would still have flattered Madrid.
As in boxing, football referees should know when the punishment was too much and stop games before the 90th minute.
Can they do it to Chelsea? They can but Chelsea will not give them that much space and time on the ball as Real did. Chelsea also has better defenders and better midfielders so I expect Chelsea to put up a better battle than Real Madrid did on Saturday.
Manchester United is risking Rio Ferdinand and his ribs to get through to the champions league finals against Arsenal. A waste of time as Arsenal does not have enough in the tank to overturn the 1-0 deficit.
Joey Barton has been suspended by Newcastle; after his tackle against Xabi Alonso he should be charged with assault but I have new found respect for Alan Shearer for his stance on this thug. Kevin ‘second chance’ Keegan refused to throw him out when he was manager and the Newcastle board backed him then. And they are somehow surprised they are being relegated
SILLY SEASON
Emmanuel Adebayor is flirting with AC Milan again and most gooners hope Arsene Wenger ships him off this summer. No one knows why Wenger kept him during the summer transfer window but I know that if he doesn’t commit to Arsenal early this summer he is gone to join Mathieu Flamini on the bench in Italy.
Frank Ribery to Manchester United for £60m if they can get £80m from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Every other superstar player is going to Manchester city.
