I can think of about 1001 better ways to lose some money.

I think Real can win 1, maybe 2 of these games, but I sincerely doubt they'll win more than that.

Well its a BET not a sure fire 1/100 winner, i have lost money in 1001 other ways so this will be 1002
 
Barca are ahead of Real. They have better players, and they've been playing together for years. It would be a sizable upset if they lost more than one of these games. Everyone knows this. Even Calderon, who had a bit of a dig at Valdano and Perez, admits that Barca are a one off, and it's not realistic to expect Real to beat them this year.
 
I root for Madrid. But i think barcelona will win atleast 2 of these.

Everyone said that about Inter last year, who are a lesser team than Madrid. That they were miles behind Barca. All of a sudden they were 3-1 down and looking vulnerable. I think the match will very much be decided on saturday by who draws first blood. At the Bernabau if Madrid go 1-0 then I can see them going for the jugular.

Perhaps people should think about the Arsenal game this year. When Barca went 2-1 down they were shaking. Arsenal looked liked they might get a 3rd and Barca were just wanting the final whistle.This Arsenal team then were only 1 goal away from putting them out (If Bendtner wasn't shit he could've done it). This is the same Arsenal team that lost 2-1 to Birmingham in a cup final.

People will have you believe that Barca play magical, majestic football. Recently in la liga they've not looked to good and a few late Messi goals have bailed them out. They struggled against Rubin Kazan not too long ago and if Mourinho organises his team well he is well aware that they can hold out against Barca whilst having the players that can hurt them.

I'll guarentee one thing, it won't be another 5-0 durbbing. That was a one off. Mourinho had only just come in as manager and was still trying to persuade the fans that he wouldn't just defend. He has now won the fans over and if he wants to defend and hit on the break then I believe that the fans will now have faith in him and will stay behind the team.
 
Barca played RM on week 13 of the season (at the end of November) hardly "just arrived" time for Jose.... Real are not good enough defensively to beat Barca....

No Carvalho in the 1st leg of the CL semi is a huge loss......

JM moaning that UEFA have "punished" them for their yellow cards... this from a manager who made sure 2 of his players were red carded in the closing mins of a game they were winning comfortably so that they would serve any suspension in the final group game and not one of the knockout rounds.....

What goes around, comes around..... Barca to win the CL semi over 2 legs (a draw and a win), Barca to win the Spanish Cup Final.... and the La Liga game (as the league is all but won)....

If they end the season on the same points, it is the "head to head" record that counts, even if Real win 4-0 they won't finish above Barca if they were level on points....
