Kinda weird that the thread here about Mou is even bigger than that of Pep, its almost like he has managed to get right under the skin of Cules, made them obsessed with him...

Nice. Wonder if Kaka' has booked his flight back to Brasil yet then.

Madrid will spend big on atleast one player, probably a striker. Whether they can afford to or not, they will, because Barca look like they will spend big on either a midfielder or a forward, no way Madrid will go a summer without matching them, they would take that as an affront.

Seems like scrapping the barrel when you point to the rules of the day as reason for a team not being so good. Especially when you think of the defenders involved, to say it was not an excellent defense, probably the best that will ever be assembled, just because of passive offside, seems silly...

I know right? Football was shitty until EA made the first FIFA game. :shit:

Really he would be useless to Barca, his style of passing is similar to Xavi, but he plays much slower, nearly doesn't run, and does it in a much deeper area than Xavi, so doesn't pressure opposition. Its why Milan are not so eager if he stays or not, I think the consensus is for all his...

Not sure Valencia need him either though, isn't he a very similar player to Banega? Unless they are cashing in on him.

what is the significance of peppers?

How does that prove he wasn't bisexual? If anything its 50% of the proof.

Actually you are wrong there Ryan, in his playing days Pep was apparently bisexual before getting married. Just sayin.

Well I don't see how you can take such a stance, there is video footage of him doing it. Not only doing it, but trying to hide himself doing it - and failing. Are you honestly saying you think he is saying anything other than mono?

He did name him, and Ronaldo, but didn't exactly say he will sign him, he said he would like to, but could not due to the very low taxes paid in Spain. He also went to claim he coached the junior team and won many competitions playing the most beautiful passing football. Which is worryingly...

I never lived in Catalonia, so maybe calling black people monkeys is more jovial there, but in the rest of Spain its a nasty insult, which there is no blurring the lines of, it means what it means. And no one is saying he is clearly some neo nazi who holds beliefs of racial purity or any of...

Its not just "monkey", it is not a reference to playing style, attitude or being a bit cheeky or any of that. It is purely a slur in Spanish, it is deeply racist, it is saying because you are black you are a lesser specie than me. If that isn't racist, what is?

I am convinced that is what that footage shows. I agree on your point about Marca's credibility, but I don't think doctoring video footage to make his lips move and put a hand across his face is within their capabilities.

Well you and I both know he did, just like how we both know Xabi and Ramos got sent off on purpose in the group stage. It is circumstantial, in that yes he he might have meant mono as in the term for dungarees, in the same way that Xabi and Ramos could of got sent off by accident. But its clear...

Must be the latter, because he clearly is saying mono, and if Madrid really wanted him in trouble they should have pressed for that which would carry a far more serious punishment. For the record though, it doesn't shock me at all, its normal to hear such comments in Spain and its more...

Well why have they not put it forward as a far more serious charge of racism, rather than just the same as diving/play acting etc?

It wasn't, it was 6 charges of professional misconduct, no counts of racism were put forward, and this incident has not been reviewed.

No, but I can tell from the footage he isn't a 5 year old boy who would be so squeamish as to try and hide himself saying the word "stupid".
