Messi

Don't know if anyone seen it but messi got absolute done with an elbow by xaabi alonso i think who is already on a yellow card.

Instead of rolling on the floor in "agony" and milking it he gets straight up and barca take a quick free kick and he scores from it.

The guy is unreal

The guy is the epitome of everything that makes football good, he doesn't dive about, moan to the ref or take the huff like big sexy boy Ronnie, he just does what he does and does it better than anyone else

He has hardly been in the game as well, don't like him playing straight through the middle but I think he could get some more joy the more Real open up

he didn't even shout for a penalty just got up trying to get the ball back Madrids game plan is constantly take him out not working he just gets on with it

Pedro

1st time i've seen pedro play & i like him think he would do well at arsenal hes really impressed me

off topic but gaf how do you feel about your shock exit today ?

i noticed pedro two years ago in barca b when pep was managing them. i knew he was good however i didnt think he would be that good. barca's academy best in the world no doubt.

Not so much of a shock for anyone who has seen us bosch, absolutely diabolical, I just want us to get fucked as much as possible and show the wasters up for what they are, we have been living off reputation for years now, its time for Dermot Desmond to splash some serious cash into Celtic again, the last time he did it was 10 years ago and its no coincidence its been our best 10 year period in about 30 years so its time again

that pedro has esentially replaced henry in the barca lineup now, but cant see him staying there next season, as barca seem intent on signing at least 1 of the valencia 3 (villa, silva, mata)

Messi and Pedro were fantastic tonight. Barca don't need to sign Villa, Silva or Mata. They already have a fantastic left forward in pedro. Barca will win the league now.

Pedro will definitely be their, the boy is pure class, him and Busquets have came through the youth set up, they got called up because Guardiola managed them in the youth/b team

Those two are his boys and both of them have been absolutely brilliant, I wouldn't be so sure Ibrahimović will be their next year though

As for Pedro and Busquets, excellent talents. I wonder who will be the next superstar out of the barca ranks. Guardiola is a fantastic manager.

Ibrahimovic is over rated in my opinion. They should have never sold Eto'o. Eto'o, Messi and Pedro in attack is a force to reckoned with.

Can't wait for Barcelona v Inter

yes desmond is a tight cunt and he should put as much money he can into signing keane. and gaffer who do you want to be celtic manager next year and would you be happy if lenny continued

Course I wouldn't be happy with Lennon, he has done fuck all in management to suggest he is deserving, capable or worthy of such a job

I want Martin O'Neill back, unlikely I know but if Desmond is going to get his finger out and release funds for his blue eyed boy then it just might happen, if not him then closer to home Craig Levein might be a good shout, it should have been him instead of that wankbag Mowbray anyway

definetly dont want lennon anyway.i dont think craig levein would leave the Scotland job at th minute

I think Celtic should try and get Mark Hughes. He's a good manager.

Hughes would involve the board showing some serious and long overdue ambition, he would be near the top of my list but getting him we would need to give him about £20m to spend, we have it and Desmond if he really wanted could easily afford it to, whether it happens or not is a different matter

I see, so it's a case of a chairman trying to save the pennies rather than go for broke then.

I don't think it's as unlikely as you'd think,think it was two weeks ago lots of rumours down here that O'Neill was very unhappy with the board and the fans after that 7-1 drubbing they had at Chelsea and he's only a twelve month contract each year so you've got as much chance as anyone getting him plus it would mean no compensation to pay.

And on the subject of Messi yes he's an outstanding player but the big player in that side is Xavi,everything goes through him.Over the two legs against arsenal he played 244 passes(More than the arsenal team put together)and only 25 went astray,that's unbelievable!

Hey Matty boy, congrats on Promotion mate, is their a more yoyo club than the baggies? you've never got time to get depressed about a relegation down your way ehhh, always back up again

Good stuff, always a club I've liked

dont know why west brom fns even bother to celebrate when they know they have a long hard shitty season ahead of them in which they will get relegated again

There's just no answer to that...

Sunderland used to be the yoyo club. I just hope its over. I think the Baggies are a bit more of a yoyo club though. Its so fustrating.

Anyway, on subject :Messi

I think he is a great player, no question. But to be one of the greatest players ever, I think he needs to do it at a world cup. at only 22, he has another 2 world cups (at least) after this one. I think he will become one of the greatest ever but he's not quite there.......yet.

Ha Ha Cheers pal,It's a great feeling to be up with three games to go however it gives us all the more time to complain about lack of ambition,higher season ticket prices and a tight as fuck chairman(Same as you's by the sound of it)

And in recent years I doubt there is,4 promotions in 9 years ain't bad going,plus a play-off final in the other year!Can't say I don't get my quote of excitement,mind you I'd settle for a boring mid-table finish next year...but can't see it happening!

Can we have Fortune back as well mate?Give you back the 2million we robbed from you over big Tony

Godfather-I'll have you know we stayed up one year so that pisses on your state the obvious parade
