That second Barcelona penalty today...

5. I don't care for Barca either...at all.

They dive more than the Spanish national team....but then they're basically made up of all Barca and RM players anyway.

Getting back to the RVP incident, favored Barca was in trouble. For though Arsenal was being dominated in that second leg, it was 1-1 and a 3-2 Gunners lead on aggregate, after that great 2-1 win in the first leg at the Emirates, when RVP was sent off around the hour mark. Changed the entire tie. Of course you remember all this, but it still pisses me off. Arsenal deserved better..

We've seen match fixing in Serie A. We had the odd occurrence this year in the last day of the CL group stage when a Lyon side, who had scored only 2 goals total in the competition, were allowed to score 7 by Dinamo Zagreb in just over 28 minutes, which happened to be just enough to put Lyon through. Shit happens in the football world....and it's not always by accident. No one is going to tell me Barca doesn't get preferential treatment above and beyond anyone else...even MU.
