You and me both, sista'.

Seems like a game good for a laugh. It's all very childish from two of the best teams in the world, supposedly

Seriously, it was ridiculous. Real were playing like thugs, kicking and stomping, and Barcelona players were dropping to the ground all over the place at the slightest touch. Sad, really. But I was rooting for Barcelona (haven't forgiven real for stealing Xabi), so I'm good with the result.

United made me cry, I admit it. Especially that scene in the tunnel with Murphy seeing the boys. And I'm guessing it hits you so hard for the same reason Hillsborough hits me - we may not have experienced it, but it's our history, and people who should have been a part of our now, aren't. And yeah, I really wish the FA would deal with chants like that. It's despicable. Every club have their set of idiots, and they're making everyone else look bad, too.

Every time I turned over it was just players falling to the floor, the Barcelona player who ran into someone and then went down clutching his face was hilarious. I expected Real to play that way but I didn't expect quite the theatrics from Barcelona. They've set up the second leg though, interested into seeing if they carry on where they left off or calm down.
