Town manager Roy Keane has hailed Barcelona’s 5-0 victory over Real Madrid in Monday’s El Clasico as the finest performance he has ever seen. Keane is a big fan of La Liga, believing it better than the Premier League.

The Blues boss said: “I enjoyed it as a spectacle, I enjoyed watching the game. It was probably the best performance I’ve ever seen.

“I’m still quite young, I’m only 39, but in all the years I’ve watched football — and I’ve played in some decent games and some big games - that was by far the best."

Keane is also a big fan of former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and sympathised with him — and Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce — having been on the end of a heavy defeat himself at the weekend: “I wouldn’t say I took any great satisfaction from seeing Jose Mourinho suffer, but there’s hope for us yet.

“It just goes to show what can happen on any given day. Big Sam Allardyce is to me a top manager but he lost by seven at United.

“It happens to some managers, particularly to young managers starting out. I know that when Harry Redknapp started out as a manager he got beaten 8-1 or 9-1 somewhere.”

SideShow added 09:54 - Dec 1 Wow, Whippet, i think it may be you and the other commenter's changing the subject. Keane talking about one of the best performances ever, and 5 people instantly make some very odd assumptions. You people really do get on my nerves...

ITFCKeano added 12:37 - Dec 1 Wow, there are some really bitter 'chip on the shoulder' people on this forum, arent there. Negative all the time! Could we have some decent discussions instead of all the worlds problems are Keanos fault? I can appreciate we're not top of the league on a shoestring budget and understand we're all disappointed at the moment but get a grip and stop moaning about it will you. COYB.

pumppedlar added 16:18 - Dec 1 I'm glad Keano thought Barcelona played well. Let's hope he noticed how they kept the ball on the ground, played through (not over) midfield and had at least 2 strikers up front all the time.
