Barca are slight favourites against City and would be favourites against Arsenal or Porto in the quarters. Draw anyone else and it's out in the quarters with a whimper like last year. Draw Bayern and it's another thrashing like the year before.

The Socis have put us into this mess and it's up to them to get us out of it.

He's playing in a great attacking side, functioning well with a record number of wins and scoring 4 and 5 every game. Messi's having to carry Barca himself and start all the attacks with nothing behind him.

He's that obsessed with scoring goals and outscoring Messi that that's all he's interested in. At United Ferguson wouldn't have that kind of selfishness and he wasn't as obsessed with just scoring. He's a stat padder now. Thing is player with most goals wins Ballon D'or so he could equal Messi's...

The midfield's the problem. Iniesta fit and on form will help link midfield to attack. Messi's having to do everything.

Stoke fans are over the moon with him.

His legacy has gone from being possibly our best ever right back, or one of them, to one of the worst based on his last year or so. He's embarrassing himself every week. All he does is give the ball away, endlessly cross to an opponent, get caught out of position and give ridiculous fouls away...

You don't take off Messi, Neymar or Suarez for Pedro when you need a goal. He was the main threat yesterday despite having an off day and got screwed over by the officials.

He's a joke. If he left a year or two ago he'd go down as one of our all time best full backs and a key part of our greatest ever team. Instead he'll be just as remembered for these embarrassing performances every week. The guy has lost it and should not be at the club. Should have been...

That midfield didn't help him at all and as for that fucking embarrassment Alves. So much is relied on MSN to win games. We have nothing else. He had to drop deep and it's tough then against packed, organised defences. The only thing I thought he should have been was more selfish. He had...

At least Mourinho's win record their has gone. The most consecutive wins in La Liga is their own record anyway. Next game they may slip up in is Valencia away.

Ronaldo guarantees a goal a game average and usually a bit more because he scores braces and hat-trick more than goalless games. He's on course for 50+ goals unless he misses games.

He'll break his 50 league goals this season

The socis voted this board in.

Messi would only sign for Real to get the tax case dropped.

We can't compete in Europe without sorting the defence and midfield out. It should have happened in the summer. If it can't happen next summer then it's a write off until at least 16/17 for a league title or real shot at the CL. Xavi, Alves, Puyol, Pique, Iniesta to an extent all need...

Even EPL clubs would do the same against Barca. They aren't going to play a high line against Messi, Suarez and Neymar.

If La Liga is so defensive why are Madrid scoring 5 every week? We were awful last season and still scored 100 league goals. Hopefully it's just a threat to the Spanish government to not single Messi out.

Barca won't sell Messi in 2015 during a transfer ban. They won't sell him in 2016 in an election year.

Reminds me of Jonathan Woodgate going to Real Madrid. The Vermalen/Mathieu money could have gone on Benatia. We'll only get a couple of good years out of Matheiu (who isn't top drawer) and probably none out of Vermalen who is an average defender anyway and who wasn't even in Arsenal's team when...
