Batmoanu tries to act like he hates Barca and Messi to look cool. So pathetic.

I think either Barca or Bayern will win it btw.

To be honest man utd are unlucky casillas was injured. Lopez made more saves in our 2 games against them then casillas did in the 5 group games he played in. I think casillas will be the number 2 goalkeeper for the rest of the season as lopez is like the best goalkeeper in la liga by a country mile.

I'm hoping for a Dortmund vs Juventus final.

I didn't find Lopez all that convincing

he was a bit flappy and nervy and some of the saves I heard were 'brilliant' were more or less straight at him when I saw the highlights or would have been errors had they gone in.

He plays for Madrid so he's obviously not crap but I think too much got made of what he stopped.

Real Madrid will beat either Dortmund or Bayern Munich in the semi finals. They are not good enough to win this competiton. They would be out anyway if this pathetic ref. didnt make the mistake.

Juve will beat Bayern.

I would like to see that allthough I dislike the italian teams too but really can't see that, Ron.

"In everyone of those games, Madrid were in it because of Barca's profligacy. And Messi never went missing in the Copa final, he was the best player on the pitch and did everything but score."

Yea of course, whenever Real Madrid win it is because Barcelona play poorly, it is never down to the class of the opposition.

"Ronaldo was the opposite, scoring but getting like 3 touches of the ball all game. I've told you before, Batmanu that I'm really not fooled by your anti-Barca (or new anti-Messi) facade."

I am not anti-Messi at all, he is a great entertainer, I actually love watching him play and unlike 99% of football 'purists' I can actually appreciate and admire what unbelievable players both Messi and Ronaldo are rather than big another one up by having a go at the other one.

I'm just bored of doing it, because quite frankly, yourself and all the other Messi fangirls and Barcelona bumlickers make me sick and are so one eyed and smug in their views of the club you would actually think they were your first love. I simply see no point in having a reasonable discussion with them.

GT, Bayern aren't this unbeatable super force you think they are.

Juve are so disciplined at the back, the likes of Ribery, Muller and Robben won't be able to play their direct game. IMO this will be the tie of the round.

In recent times, you've delivered several barbs about Messi designed to get a rise in the manner a wum would and it often involves an unfavourable comparison with Ronaldo, even when uncalled for, like in this article. You spend so much of your time looking to get a reaction from people by making outlandish comments. It's no better that what these Messi fangirls you speak about do.

Ron, Juve cant win against Bayern in two legs.

Juve shouldn't, on paper, win against Bayern in two legs.

can't is too strong a word

GT. Yes they can.

I don't spend so much of my time at all. All I have to do is make a favorable comment towards Ronaldo, whether it be accurate or farfetched it will still get a reaction as any favorable comment towards Ronaldo is seen as a cardinal sin by all the Messi fangirls on here.

One of the basic laws of the internet: every forum thread will turn into a Ronaldo-Messi troll fest after no more than 50 posts.
