That rules out my first thought of Graham Alexander then.

Marcelo got a red card for a foul on Fabregas. Everyone piles in and handbags all over the place. Mourinho walks up behind a Barca assistant coach and pulls his ear. Mourinho then walks away, the assistant shoves Mourinho, Mourinho turns round and acts all innocent.

He also made a stink gesture as Messi went past him earlier in the game.

Don't think the Marcelo foul was a red card in any game apart Barca-Real where the offender is in a white shirt.

Mourinho's gonna get hammered though.

Thanks for that LGJM. Sounds like Mourinho that. How did Fabregas do? Did he start?

I didn't watch it. He came on as a sub, but from the reports I skimmed through he impressed.

You missed out the bit where Mourinho pokes Tito Vilanova in the eye.
I wasn't surprised when I saw it was a red card as this is Spain we're talking about. La Liga referees are more 'sensitive' than their English cousins. It was late on in the game and Fàbregas was going nowhere. Good old Sky Sports news described it as 'a horror tackle on Fabregas'.

The board are desperate to sell but haven't come close to finding a buyer and the banks are trying to force the club to sell players, almost on a daily basis. Not good.
