Gotta be Phil. Man possessed on the touchline.

Dat Neville factor.

Suarez is still a c***, I see - https://streamable.com/p3dx

Barcelona lost good chances of goal and got no reaction after the tie goal, where Mina was practically free. And their options to make substitutions at midfield and attack aren't that good, I kinda feel that Barcelona needs a better bench in these sectors.

 

[JimJams]

I dunno about that, they just seemed to go into stroll mode once they went a goal up as though maintaining a high possession stat would be enough to keep them ahead. Saying this though Valencia were lucky not to be dead and buried by half time.

Neymar becomes the first Barca player to win player of the month since it was started over 2 seasons back. Strange considering the level those players play at and the success they have had recently.

Barca kick themselves in the nuts last night by spunking a two goal lead against Deportivo. That lad Messi needs to step up!

 

[voltage]

Barcelona was doing good despite loosing some goal chances and that two goals advantage seemed hard to reverse but La Coruña showed a good reaction in the end to tie it with 9 minutes.

 

[JimJams]

Gary Neville's Valencia currently 1-0 down away to Eibar. Deservedly so too, should be more really. Interesting to see if he can have a half time effect.

 

[SALTIRE]

Good little side Eibar.

 

[JimJams]

Well I don't know what he said but it managed to get his side reduced to 10 and they got a late equaliser.

 

[JimJams]

Atletico v Bilbao to potentially join Barca at the top. 5 wins from 6 home games for Madrid, 5 wins out of 6 away games for Bilbao. Hopefully a good game.

 

[JimJams]

Griezmann curls in a great effort from outside the box to take the lead 2-1 after initially falling behind.
Atletico are going to have so much money thrown at them for him in January.

 

[SALTIRE]

Seen the strike, superb. Love Griezeman!

 

[Super_horns]

Well I don't know what he said but it managed to get his side reduced to 10 and they got a late equaliser.

Sounds like a typical Man U side run by Ferguson...

 

[JimJams]

Villareal 1 up vs Real In the opening 8 minutes.

 

[G.B]

modric too soft there

 

[G.B]

90th minute attacking sub from Rafa at 1-0 down. Good to see he's as proactive as ever.

 

[SALTIRE]

So Barca slip up and super Bale and Penaldo can't capitalise and actually get beat, muhahahaha!!!

 

[voltage]

Real Madrid could've take the chance to get closer to the top (even Barça's result was kinda helpful) but instead they showed a pretty awful playing against Villareal.

 

[Stevencc]

Isco simply cannot believe that Rafa has left Kroos on the bench.

 

[Christian Slater]

What's going on with Rafa? Have the players and media been collecting the firewood since that drubbing?

 

[SALTIRE]

This Pique v Madrid nonsense is weird and brilliant at the same time.

Real 9-2 Rayo Vallecano..

Real Madrid scored more goals in this game than Manchester United has managed to score in last 2 months.

 

[JimJams]

10-2 now.
Doing it against 9 men for the majority though. When the sides were even they were losing.

 

[SALTIRE]

Apparently the ref had a shocker.

 

[voltage]

10-2. Jesus Christ Real Madrid!
But playing with 9 players (and with a doubtful refereeing) against Real Madrid is really hard.

 

[JimJams]

1 penalty miss from Ronaldo against Sociedad for what shouldn't be a penalty, and Real get a 2nd penalty which again shouldn't be awarded. Real Sociedad should have had a penalty however, but weren't given one.

 

[JimJams]

He scores the second. Refs been their best player.

 

[Stevencc]

This time he scores.
