No passion in the premier league? you couldn't even hear the crowd for 90% of the game. There's more noise before the game has even started in the premier league. As for Barca beating man u last season, as much as I hate man u I have to say even I was disappointed by their performance. You'll never see them play as badly as they did in that game, couldn't string two passes together. Barca shouldn't have made the final in any case. They got beaten by chelsea in the semi and just got a big helping hand by the referee. As for the "great tactical duels" any idiot can tell his team to park the bus and that's all "the special one" did. The game was just barca walking around with the ball in midfield, passing it around a bit before trying to lob it into the box and losing possession. The most irritating thing about watching the spanish and italian league teams is the frequency of diving though. It happens in the premier league too but in those games its like every player is Drogba in that respect. Also, I'd like to add that liverpool were knocked out by a premier league team last season, not some dud spanish team
