This is from a year ago but it still talks about how Maradona has basically ignored him.

bad decisions Diego. For someone who was such a quick thinker on the field, he doesnt really seem to use that intelligence in coaching :( maybe all the coke fried his brain.

It really is a shame that ability on the field doesn't cross over into management. It doesn't though, and Maradona is holding the argies back. Deadset, if Argentina had a quality manager they would be on par with Spain. The attacking talent they have at their disposal currently is immense.

Spain: Xavi, Alonso, Iniesta, Silva, Fabregas, Torres, Villa
Argentina: Messi, Rodríguez, Tevez, Aguero, Milito, Higuaín, Veron


What an epic game that could be

Totally pumped for El Casico in the morning! A Barca win would just about kill Madrid off in the title race, last year when we beat them around this time they complete lost their bundle afterward and Barca cruised home so hopefully we do that again 6-2 would also be nice to repeat.

 

[fenomeno]

I reckon it'l be a draw, here's hoping we can pull of a win. Going to be a cracking game.

 

[The Brizz]

It all depends on how well Madrid can contain/limit Messi's impact, if they can keep him quiet they are every chance but if Messi gets space he will destroy Madrid like he is destroying everyone else.

 

[fenomeno]

Well, it was more Xavi who destroyed us. Messi was ok. Horrible finishing again from this team. Higuain again proves why he'll only ever be a good striker, not a great one. Disappears most of the big games, needs way too many chances to score one, unfortunately, in important games, those chances just wont come.

 

[The Brizz]

Man that is a good win!!! Both sides had more chances and like you said Higuain really needs to do better in these matches. We still have Sevilla away in the league so the run in isn't easy but I honestly don't think Pep will let them slip up considering how consistent they and Real have performed this season. It is a shame for Real because they played quite well and were only marginally second best, they will probably score the most points in a season as a runner up in La Liga history and got beaten in the Champions League by a Lyon side that played out of their skin. Will be interesting to see if Perez sees it that way and keeps Pellegrini or he again shows no patience and looks to another manager.

If Pelligrini does get sacked, i hope its only for Mourinho, otherwise Pellegrini can stay.

owwww. Xavi, Victor Valdes & Pique were awesome. It was a great game i thought.

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta is likely to miss most of his side's end-of-season run-in after he suffered an injury during training.

The Spain international underwent tests on the problem which revealed he had suffered a "total rupture of the right femoral biceps muscle" in his leg.

The injury looks set to keep him sidelined for up to a month.

Bad news for Barca I guess

 

[ningnangnong]

Pretty big blow for them, although they have plenty of other superstars to cover it.

 

[pennywisealfie]

lame! does this have anything to do with his other injury he just came back from?

You tell us penny, you're meant to be the Barca fan! [icon_wink

 

[pennywisealfie]

**** knows man. I have no idea what injury anyone has on the broncos besides folaus thumb or something, i really dont take notice of injuries lol.

 

[fenomeno]

Hardly matters, Barca will still probably win, to be honest, i don't even care if we win the league this year, that wont be an achievement, everyone knows Barcelona is the better team and they beat us twice this season. So **** this years La Liga championship.

 

[pennywisealfie]

i feel sorry for Real, they have been great all season and would have won the championship most other years with they way they've played.

 

[ningnangnong]

Barca fans have been very quite today. [icon_wink
