Perez the cause of Real's woes?

It was quite a scene at the Bernabeu stadium on Saturday night. As Barcelona repeatedly humiliated their opposition with the ball, with their technique and with their work-rate, the home fans turned. "Florentino dimision" they chanted all around the stadium and I can assure you, ESPN FC readers, that it was not started every time by the fierce Ultra Sur brigand of undesirables that Florentino has, justifiably, tried to prevent from entering the stadium if they can't behave in a socially acceptable way.

The chants began four or five times throughout the game, plus post-match, and the hard fact is that the "Florentino resign" chorus began in different parts of the Bernabeu each time, catching like wildfire.
