Disagree, the way Barca went out of the Champions League over the past two seasons was embarrassing, Fair enough he won 2 titles but the style of football was poor and think he has the worst win percentage record of the 5 previous managers.
 
Setien is a great appointment, his Betis side were a joy to watch and he had Betis playing the way Barca should be playing.
He won 2 out of 2 league titles. Currently top of the league and won a tough group in the Champions League. The least he deserved was to keep the job until the end of the season. I read last night that he has the highest win percentage of any Barca manager. He nearly had an unbeaten season the year before last. Lost the 37th league match 5-4 to Levante. The board made him drop Messi for that match so he could play in a midweek friendly match in Qatar or somewhere like that. I also think he only lost two Champions League matches.

Well that's not true, I know Luis Enrique, Pep and Tito all had a superior win percentage.
 
The second point may be correct but when you consider the total embarrassment of the defeats to Roma and Liverpool I don't think you can give him credit for his Champions League record.
 
Real Madrid are nowhere near the team they were a few seasons ago and they are separated by goal difference this season, it was definitely the right call to sack him now as things were stagnating.

He's got a 67% win percentage. What are the prevoius 4 managers win percentages so?

Tired of Real and Barca dominating the league, so hopefully Atletico and Sevilla can stop dropping silly points, get over 80 points and at least keep the pressure on the other two.

Always like to see an outfield player called into action in goals

Someone in Barca's Medical Department should be updating his CV, and very soon:

Ousmane Dembele: Barcelona winger tears hamstring on return to training

Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele, who has not played since November, has suffered a serious hamstring tear on his return to training.

The France international, 22, pulled out of training on Monday.

The club said tests have revealed "a complete proximal hamstring tear in his right thigh".

Dembele was making his comeback from a muscle injury in his right thigh sustained against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on 27 November.

Barcelona added they would shortly decide "on the treatment to be followed for his recovery".

Spanish outlet Marca said Dembele will now miss the rest of the season.

Talking potentially 6-12 months recovery for that injury apparently. I think Dembele is finished at Barcelona now.

Great to see both Barca and Real knocked out for a change. 

I think they reformatted that cup so there'd only be two legs in the semis and the smaller teams had home advantage in the earlier rounds. Open to correction on this. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

Mirandes are right on the border of the Basque Country as well. Now they wouldn't exactly characterise themselves as Basque but they are right there.

Yeah only the semi finals have 2 legs now.
They have a seeding system. 

But Real don’t give a crap about it.
I think it’s 2 wins in the last 25 years.
