In typical Barca fashion, where they tap the player and force the club to sell to them at a discount. Man, I hate Barca.

Very classy goal after some rather underwhelming efforts in the first half.

And second half. Mandzukic only got his goal because Robben fluffed an easy chance.

It was an exciting game, but both teams played very nervously for long periods.

We don't do it. We never sign anyone established enough for that procedure to be relevant.

Yes, I hate Barca because of Cesc, their shenanigans cost us at £15MM. Football is tribalism, sue me. lol

Used some very dubious applications of then standing French employment law to tap up Nicolas Anelka for half nothing (c.£500k) then cried blue murder when ye "had to sell him" to Real for 45 times that amount.

All clubs do it, it just depends on your relative power within the game as to how you'll be "punished"* for it.


*Like almost any other area of soccer punishment is too harsh a word for what happens when you break the rules.

I know we do it, I was just really whining about the calibre of our recent signings.

One Saturday I'm going into a bookies and betting £5 that Stoke get relegated, such is my opinion on how much Hughes sucks as a manager.
