Ronaldo is a greedy c*** IMO

No debate between him and messi....messi always makes the nut move

I can get out for a small loss.  Barca appear to be off the boil tonight.

Its definitely one for the bucket list to make one of these games.

I have been to Camp Nou on 3 occasions and its amazing, I'd really like to be there to see Barca beat Real comprehensively.

Real got a gift. They looked busy until Barca scored. Now they look flat. They never tested the keeper and only when Ronaldo ballsed it up did they have a chance.

Barca win if Alexis/Messi don't get red.

Almost everyone in world football belts on about Messi.

Undoubtedly a great player, probably the best player i have been lucky enough to see in the flesh.

But for me a hero who is somewhat underestimated although he does get plaudits is Iniesta, i still think tonight he looks short of match fitness but he's like the puppet master in the middle of the park.

erm dont think you'll hear anyone underestimating iniesta or xavi; continually voted in top 5 for about the past 5 years

Good shout Sandy. Real were on top early but never really made it pay. Makes the league interesting. Still think Jose wins it this season.

Not sure how Iniesta is underrated, everyone says he's absolutely amazing.

Messi is underrated.

I know certain people rave about him but its mostly always Messi/Xavi that get the praise, when Barca went through a sticky spell earlier this season much of it could be attributed to the loss of Iniesta.

I think he is deffo underrated.   its all about opinions.

I thought most ppl thought Iniesta>Xavi.

I thought most ppl thought Iniesta>Xavi.

I do, but from listening to commentators and reading various articles of late it seemed to be the polar opposite.

Even looking at the Ballan D'or (sp) Messi/Ronaldo/Xavi are the picks.

Ronaldo is an exceptional player but for me, not even close between him and Messi, and I'd rate Iniesta ahead of Ronaldo as well. 

For me Ronaldo is far too selfish.

Looks like everyone wants to be with Sunderland and Spurs today. I did too but both are too short for me.
Gone Colback anytime at 9's and smaller on Vukcevic at 8's

I backed Sunderland @ 1.91 myself.  Just hoping O'Neill has a sudden impact on them.

Agree

Real are still in pole position although it was really important for Barca to win last night and it depends on Real Madrids reaction a bit. Real do look really strong this season though and I think they win La Liga with Barca taking down the Champions League.
