He is obviously just there for the pay check and has been pretty unprofessional on and off the field.

It looks like the quotes are taken from a translated wikipedia article, which is not the most scholarly of a source. I'm just trying to clarify some details of what was a disgraceful day for football.

I have heard many different versions of what happened, but never something so direct as what was portrayed in the video.

The speed at which Barca plays when Busquets is in the midfield is so much faster than when Mascherano is plying in the same role. Mascherano is probably a better outright CDM, but in Barcelona's playing style, Busquets is the better choice.

I am still using the yellow BarcaFans background from last season and am ready for an upgrade.

You don't think that some of that sentiment is shared by a portion of Madrid fans? Fri, 26 Aug 2011 16:08:09 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/news/cartoon-of-the-day-sport-446/#IDComment186840864 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/news/cartoon-of-the-day-sport-446/#IDComment186806632 Don't really agree with this. There are plenty of Madrid fans that are ashamed of Madrid's recent actions on the pitch. The ones that should be in this cartoon are the coaches and their staff. Fri, 26 Aug 2011 14:22:11 +0000 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/news/cartoon-of-the-day-sport-446/#IDComment186806632 http://www.totalbarca.com/2011/news/player-reactions-fc-barcelona-3-2-real-madrid/#IDComment184383718 That is playing right into their hands. Didn't you see how Mou provoked Tito before he was slapped and the little smile he cracked immediately after? Mou wanted that to happen. He wanted to have the fact that Tito physically retaliated as a counter point to his own actions. I understand what you are saying, but it won't be effective in stopping Madrid's brutal physicality. Instead it will only escalate the tension on the field and give the Madrid press more reason to smear Barca's name.

To the point where he just kicked the ball as hard as he could every time he had possession. Him giving away possession is one reason Madrid did so poorly in that game.

I never saw it and would think that quote would have been all over the media.

There really is a difference when we have Busquets in the center.

I wouldn't look too far into it.

What is so hard to understand about that?

No one wants Hleb or Kerrison, at any price. No one even wants to pay their wages.

He can see out his contract, collect high wages, and then leave on a free to a club that he actually wants to go. It makes a lot of sense from a player's perspective.
