Barca were complaining about last nights ref before the game eveb started and it obviously didn't do them any harm considering he was practically their 12th man.

In Pel We Trust.

I'm telling you Inky - the language barrier is letting him down.

I don't think he meant to be so damning and the media are jackals.

Which part of Swedish Refs got lost in translation?

Jose also complained about the Ref vs Barca in 2006. He stated the ref was giving Barca everything.

Jose got fined for it.

Henry after the Champions League final says this beauty................

"Jose Mourhino was right about this referee" and lo n behold a big fat nothing happened to him.

Go figure eh?

It's hard to be critical when you're in total agreement with him.

I think he meant a Swedish in the sense of lacking experience.
But it will be interpreted as Swedes are lemons.

Not up to the task then? Oh that will soften the blow surely

Dalgleish had it down when it came to covering his ass.

Post match he would say "There are some people saying that the ref missed a lot, the ref was biased - but I wouldn't say that"

Biggish do you remember that Henry comment after the 06 CL final? I can't understand how no fines were given to Henry for that.

What about the hypocrite Fabregas:

He added: "You have to be fair in football - you have to be honest and well done to you if you've won, but you have to win in a good way.

"And then you see a player like Marquez who is kicking Thierry all the time or trying to hit him all the time from behind.

"And then Jose (Antonio Reyes) goes to him to get the ball and he just makes theatre of it and goes on the floor to lose time.

Henry said: 'I don't know if the referee was wearing a Barcelona shirt because they kicked me all over the place. If the referee did not want us to win he should have said so from the off.

'Some of the calls were strange. I believe the referee did not do his job. I would have liked to have seen a proper referee.'

Linesman Ole Hermann Borgan was photographed in a Norwegian newspaper wearing a Barcelona shirt and was removed by UEFA on the eve of the final in Paris.

lol and somewhere to ITV that night he said Jose was right about the Referee. Which is a direct reference to comments Jose was fined for

The reaction I have been most impressed by is over the Clattenburg v Mikel/Ramires affair.

I was expecting a deluge of retribution.

I'm disappointed with Pel's comments. I expected him to rise above it all. I hope it was a heat of the moment thing.
