Terrible defending again but brilliant from Messi.

Captain

Looks like it's going to be another Messi parade. Game is as good as over, Barca just have too much quality for them.

RonBurgundy

If Barca don't win this they'll kick themselves. So many chances to kill the game off.

Diego Alves single-handedly keeping Valencia in it (no pun intended).

Captain

Yeah it was. 😆

Captain

But seriously, this looks like our 2008 team when we'd absolutely demolish the opposition and then lose 1-0 from a long ball down the middle.

Transfer league table 2006 - 2011

£85m means we're in the Fulham, Everton spending bracket.
Spurs have spent £243m and Liverpool £309m.
City miles ahead on £531m.

Detail here if anyone's interested.

That net spend is outrageous.

As I was reading that, Soldado (or was it Alba?) almost connected with a long ball down the middle 😆

RonBurgundy

y va, that table never ceases to amaze me.

Captain

It really is amazing that Barca are often one of the most wasteful teams around and they still win by 3-4 goals every week.

They create chances for fun.

Messi hat-trick. Game over.

Doc

6th hatrick of the season :o

Can't watch the Barca game so yep, that transfer league table is insane.
Liverpool's outlay just seems like the worst investment - yes I know they're still in two cups 🙂, but they are the epitomy of ordinary.
For £309m you'd be expecting some super quality.

Captain

It's not even difficult for him.

A player that good getting 7-8 chances a game, the goals are inveitable. Think that's 144 in 200 league games.

Yep and they generally have 3rd-4th highest wages too.

RonBurgundy

Another for Messi. Great goal.

Captain

Messi; no.9 and 10 rolled into one.

Captain

May even be a 7 in there too.

Doc

😆 ridiculous really

Captain

Feel bad for the keeper.
