José Mário dos Santos Félix Mourinho

[Indipper]

Never said it didnt hurt the English clubs, and I'm well aware of the 'home association' vs nationalities nonsense that was going on then. My point was that Barcelona had a nice stockpile of world-class players back in those days, such as Stoichkov, Romario etc.

Both of whom incidentally played that night, so that hardly hurt them.

They had a total of 7 foreigners in their squad that season, and considering 3 of them were Jordi Cryuff, Igor Korneyev and Luis Cembranos, I don't think the 4 player rule hampered them that much.

 

[Uppercut]

No you bellend. He's saying Barca's array of world-class players hurt United more than the foreigner rule did.

EDIT: Wait, Indipper isn't a "he". Or is she?

 

[cpr]

Pretty sure the argument by all parties is that Utd were no more hampered by the rule than Barcelona

 

[marc71178]

Certainly reads that way to me, especially the mention of the "stockpile"

meh, think your all missing the point, it was very,very,very funny
