Season Over: Barcelona crash out of Champions League Final

404 minutes

That is how long since Barcelona scored a goal.  

That is why Rijkaard will not be on Barcelona's bench next season.

That is why Thierry Henry will be heading out of the Nou.

That is Exhibit A of how important Ronaldinho is to this team.

That is why my hair has grayed so much over the past couple of months.

That is why we will end this season with no trophies.

And that is why the high expectations of the preseason seem eons ago.

Disgusting
I feel like crap, horrible. This is the story of the whole season, we have nice possession of the ball and good passing but we lack that final touch in the  box. The rest of the season is completely meaningless and I don't think I will even watch.

Messi played a pretty good game, but he has some weaknesses that will prevent him from truly becoming a force like Ronaldo or Ronaldinho. He can't shoot that well. He has great control and great dribbling but he just doesn't have a ferocious shot that scares opponents. He basically has no right foot whatsoever. The best chance barca had the whole tie was that curling shot saved by Van der Sar from Messi, but it had no zip and thats Messi's weakness.

Eto'o, to me, just doesn't have it. I thought Henry had a better tie and he played about 50 minutes in the two legs combined and he created more opportunities. I hope that Henry will stay and Eto'o leaves.

Another thing
The final is going to be really boring, I predict a 0-0 shootout win by United as Van der Ser is much better at saving penalties than Cech (Chelsea does what Chelsea does best and out Liverpools Liverpool in Europe and gets a 0-0 draw. Once Man U got that goal and got into half time leading, I knew that they were going to shut the door and get behind the ball.

As good as Ronaldo is, he gets all of his goals against the likes of Derby County and the bottom part of EPL table. He was pretty much a non-factor in this game and in this tie, with the exception of the first minute at the Camp Nou. That is what will happen in Moscow. He never has good games against the quality teams.

I'm just pissed and venting right now, God I hate Alex Ferguson. Yet, I don't know who I hate more that Jew Avram Grant (the media needs to call him Jewish not fucking Israeli) or Ferguson. Heck, I hate Benitez and the way he approaches the game of football. He makes Capello's tactics look like the second coming of Total Football. I just don't like the way the English play.

I hate scottish football even more.
Lionel Messi was right, the Scotts play anti-football. That display by the Rangers was embarrassing and shameful. They did not try to score over the course of two legs. It is so unfortunate that Fiorentina were knocked out after being the better side by a wide margin. That was shameful and the Rangers should be ashamed of themselves of what they were doing.

I, personally, would be embarrassed if I was a player for the Rangers. They wouldn't even think about going forward. Classless and shameful. UEFA should come up with some kind of rule to prevent this from happening. They need to take away one of those two Champions League spots away from Scotland.

Absolutely disgusting, and, whats even worse, is how the British are going to brag how superior they are in football because they sent three teams to the two major European finals. They didn't get there by playing football, thats for sure.
