Well, that was ‘fun’ wasn’t it. Actually, no, I didn’t find Barcelona all that entertaining or brilliant to watch. That is to say I don’t find any team whose football ideology is about completely denying the other team a say in the match at all entertaining. So when they win, it’s just expected. Sure it takes incredible skill but entertaining? Not to me. We managed to (somehow) contain them for the first 45 minutes (until Messi scored). They only had advantage of extra man after RvP left. Oh and help fr blinking referee of course. RvP should have contained his temper and avoided the first yellow but to be given the second was scandalously harsh. RvP: ‘In my opinion the ref killed the game. The sending off had a big influence. It was a total joke. How can I hear the whistle with 90,000 people jumping up? How to God can I hear? The referee has been a joke all evening.’
And apparently Wenger had spoken about the referee to the folks at UEFA who were equally shocked ‘as it killed a promising, fantastic match. Frankly it’s embarrassing for the game.’ Well, hardly shocking seeing Busacca is not universally accepted in his own country as SwissRamble shared. He was suspended a couple of years ago for giving the crowd the finger.

Downright professional, aren’t you? Can we show you our fingers too?And boy, were we choked. And cor blimey, no red cards given for these! Not a card either to Alves for scissor-tackling Nasri. But a card was given to RvP for kicking the ball one bloody second after he was adjudged offside.
