reminds me of Monaco's 8-3 win over Madrid last year...

ManU’s only hope for silverware this season is the FA Cup.

Barca go crashing out of the Champions League. Who would have thunk it?
I can just see Mourinho’s smirk on his face during the post-match press conference. His arrogance is starting to get to me.
But, great managers always find a way to win. Look’s like he’s on track for the treble.

Well, my perfect prediction record was ruined, but that's ok. ManU lost! Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

No worries. We can take a loss. We still have ’99 to remember:

Have you guys read the following article?

Did anyone see this match? Was it as bad as they made it out?

Personally I think Eto'o is a baby and a poor loser. He couldn't keep his mouth shut before these two teams played and apparently won't keep it shut now. I just think he has a hard time admitting that he was wrong when he predicted a Barca win and his hatred of Jose M. has blinded him. It also seems that any time something doesn't go his way, he claims someone called him a monkey. I realize that racist comments like these occur but I wonder if he's not taking advantage of the situation the help him win supporters for his cry baby rants.

I used to respect Eto'o but it quickly waning.

Eto'o might be making it up this time, but he has in the past had racist comments directed at him. Its not his imagination. From Mormon slurs towards RSL, ManU fans towards Glazer, Spanish fans' chants towards England's NT, racism is alive and well in the world of soccer.

Lets be honest here though, Chelsea and Barc are about as big as a game you can get. You know emotions were riding high on this one. No surprise to see things like this come out of it.

Biggest problem for me, coming home at midnight last night from work and watch the last 20 mins of this match, just to see the Evil Chelsea win. Oh well.

I know this is probably a silly question, but can someone please explain to me what aggregate means?

You don't have to preach that to me. I am well aware that racism is alive and kicking and that Eto'o has seen his share of it. I also don't think that enough is being done to stop it.

With that being said, I'm suspicious of Eto'o recently. I've heard him now on two different occassions, while trying to make other points, refer to hearing racial slurs. Now I'm not saying for sure that these incidents didn't occur but it seems Eto'o is trying to use those to help win support his arguments.
