I am beginning to fear for the future of football after watching the Champions League tonight. And I really begin to worry about how a game like that will affect all the kids watching. Is football now about conning the referee, acting, deceit, cheating at every opportunity, pretending to be injured etc. etc.. It's been going on for a long time I know but that game tonight really depressed me.

I take it then you weren't around to see the Italian teams of the 60's,70's and 80's...?
Ffs, you'd have thought the world had caved in tonight rather than some manager have the tactical nous to turn over probably the best team in the world at the moment. People whining about barca having more possession etc etc. Well just to inform you, possession doesn't win games, goals do. And the team who scored the most won.

Spot on. And Liverpool weren't the most entertaining team either. Funny how their decline coincided with the back pass rule being ditched.

Oooooh, don't say that. We can't have a winning mentality here, the place would be in uproar.
Another argument video technology really . It was a bit boring really but if ya ask me that how you defend ! As for barca well some poor management really shoul of taken a defender for bosan (spelling) . Mr jose done it again say what you want about him as a person but the knows how to win football matches ,it's not pretty but I wouldn't give two shits if we played like that and won a trophy or two !!!;)

fuck off OP.
Player on the continent do this all the time. It's gamesmanship.
If we were doing it and winning every game would you be complaining? Would you f*ck.
