1-0 down. Doing my bet!
Can't see them coming back on this pitch. It was always gonna be one goal either way!
Good result in the end can't understand how the game went ahead pitch was terrible
Maybe something up with the drainage, its been raining but hardly biblicalQuote:

Iniesta is good at football.

Is he the most unlucky player not to have won the ballon d'or? You can't have put him above ronaldo or Messi, but in any other era?
Best midfielder since Zidane.
He's won every trophy possible certainly deserved to win it at least once. Xavi and iniesta in the same midfield was just not fairQuote:

Won everything there is to be won and scored the winner in the world cup final, who gives a toss what a few French journalists say!
I loved watching Scholes he was a pleasure to watch. He's no iniesta mind.Quote:

My heart leapt, seeing the this posts title , thought it was another out of contract signing by the mighty Neil , as the lad is a big fan of the Warnock way
Winning the world cup is the ultimate dream and like you said he was the one who put the ball in the net, he's been a magnificent player and will go down as one of the best everQuote:

F*ck Pep and tika-taka!!!

He's no Callum Patterson
Remember a few of my mates disagreeing with me how good he was as all he does is pass the ball.
That Barca team under pep with xavi, iniesta and Messi in were ridiculous, would pass man City to death no doubt about it.
Remember them drawing at the Emirates somehow. First half was a footballing lesson to arsenal who barely touched the ball.
Best club side I've ever seen.Quote:

Don't they also receive some form of privileged tax break as well , all a bit sordid .Quote:
