Stickied Spanish Football

[JimJams]

Or any of their signings for that matter. Lamela, Capoue, Chadli was ridiculed in his first season. Eriksen is the standout success. I suppose if Soldado did fire them in then Harry Kane wouldn't be a household name though.

Why is the Afghan hound doing the Spanish football! Not good!

Malaga holding on here now, Barca have stepped it up from the first half and are beginning to purr. Still 0 - 0 though after 65 mins.

 

[SALTIRE]

Vermaelen scores! Yes Vermaelen!!

Someone other than Ronaldo finally takes a free-kick. James steps up and proceeds to smash a beauty right in from a narrow angle, actually using a proper footballer's technique other than Ronaldo's 'style', i.e. just c*** it as hard as you can in a straight line into the wall after 5 minutes of preening.

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

I like this new Spanish league where Ronaldo and Messi don't score goals.

Real Madrid applied the first big rout in La Liga. A great match from James, by the way.

Gordon Bennett, Atletico won 3 - 0 away at Sevilla which is a cauldron! Was going to watch that tonight as well!

 

[voltage]

What a match from Cristiano Ronaldo. Five goals almost in a row. After seven matches without scoring he just dropped it all at once.

 

[Stevencc]

Torrrreeesss!

 

[SALTIRE]

That was an excellent match, thought apart from Torres goal, Atleti didn't create much. Still they made life difficult for Barca who had to rely on brilliance from the front three again to get them out of trouble, Neymar's freekick was unsaveable and the movement for Messi's winner (after he has spent last night in hospital awaiting his wife giving birth no less) was superb.

 

[Stevencc]

Busquet's tackle was as clean as a nun's...habit as well!

Is Moyesie in trouble? Two points and two goals from four games.

 

[The Iron]

Barcelona have got a 100% record after 4 games, but Messi's record at penalties is nowhere near as good.

He did actually score a penalty in the 4-1 win against Levante, but he missed one which was his 15th miss out of 65.

3-0 away win at Granada has put them into 10th temporarily.

 

[JimJams]

Celta Mutha fucking Vigo 4 - 1 Barcelona.

BEAST MODE!!!11Wut!!!$£%>>>*

 

[SALTIRE]

From what I saw of it, they thoroughly deserved it and played Barca off the park apparently according to the commentators.

 

[Super_horns]

What is going on at Sevilla..?

 

[4froale]

Celta Vigo looked class last night but barca are desperate for new players. The January window cannot come quick enough for them.

 

[Nath]

Last night was the worst I've seen Barca play in a long time.

 

[voltage]

Unexpected results in terms of score (suffering four goals) to Barcelona. But Celta Vigo did a really nice match.

 

[Destruction]

Real won in Bilbao, real soft opening goal gifted to Benzema.

Sociedad v Bilbao on Sunday, Basque derby.

Sociedad v Bilbao on Sunday, Basque derby.

Does Moyes need to win that to keep his job?

Does Moyes need to win that to keep his job?

Nah he'll be fine.

 

[SALTIRE]

Messi off to hospital after picking up a knee injury in the game versus Las Palmas. Hope its not serious.

Seven to eight weeks, apparently.

 

[SALTIRE]

Seven to eight weeks, apparently.

Yeah I heard that later last night. Not good news, no one wants Messi out for too long (unless you are Ronaldo ).

 

[thespus]

Valencia look a top striker away from being an elite team. Probably the best defensive side in Europe (it wasn't due to Otamendi) at the moment and there is plenty of quality in that midfield. They have excellent depth, but Negredo and Rodrigo look mid-table to me. I've watched Alcacer play really well once, but most of the time I watch Valencia I don't notice he's on the pitch.

 

[SALTIRE]

Barca 2 - 0 down at Sevilla. Tough place to get a result at the best of times, but without Messi, it makes it doubly so.

 

[Stevencc]

One man team.
