That 16 year old kid playing for Barca has some serious talent, how the fuck a kid that age is already that talented I cannot comprehend.

Obviously has a bucket load of talent but unless he slims down a bit he’ll never make it.

Last night on R5L they were speculating on Zidane's future, with Ballbag saying the upcoming games against Atletico and PSG are crunch.

Then the fuckwits began getting gooey at the prospect of Mourinhosaurus going back there. FFS, did they not follow his last two appointments?

I think Pochettino would be ideal for the RM job if it came up.

It's nailed on that Mourinho will be going back there isn't it?

Real/Barca get tired of their new toys so quickly,both sets of fans and their respective presidents are always on a huge ego trip.

Must be an incredibly tiresome and stressfull job to be the manager at these clubs with there being zero patience or time to build,not that they didn't know what they were getting into and are paid multi millions.

A Madrid x Celta Viga right now. 0-0 after 30 mins.

Costa looks dead.

Got massive respect for any Atletico season ticket holder, year after year of the most turgid football, no goals but they still turn up, fair play to em.

3 of last 4 matches in La Liga ended 0-0

Surely Valverde just walks in to board room and says ‘yeah I’m done’

Well done to Granada, you have to beat shit teams at home if you want to achieve anything and that's what they've done. This league feels like 20 horrendous sides and the least shite will take the title.

Which at the moment I would say is Atletico. But if Neymar gets his January move to Barca it could change (if they are still anywhere near top lol)

'Barcelona have failed to win 5 away La Liga matches in a row for the first time since April-May 2008 (end of Rijkaard era).

Barcelona have failed to win 7 away matches in a row in all competitions for the first time since spring 2001 !!'

Though well in Granada - fully deserved win tonight and played some decent stuff at times too. Top of the league too

If Atletico weren't so bad at dispatching mediocre sides, they would have cruised to the league title this season. Thought Felix and Costa who looked amazing in pre-season would have done better.

Barca and Madrid are both very vulnerable.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #5663 on:** September 22, 2019, 12:06:29 am »

How Valverde was still employed beyond the semi was stupid. Now it's just sad.

The fall of both Barca and Real Madrid is lovely to see. Usually you only see 1 team implode but for both to do so at the same time is incredible.

No other team in Spain will take advantage of it mind.

As soon as one of those presidents blinks and throws all the money at Potch it's going to carry on being that way

Coutinho, Griezman, Dembele, all turn to shit when they join Barcelona. I’m sensing a pattern here. Wonder if it has anything to do with their manager being shit?

It’s Messi running the show that is the problem. Anytime a player becomes bigger than the club, even if it’s the greatest player of all time, that team isn’t going to perform to potential.

I reckon Valverde walks in at halftime and says ‘ok, this is what we’re going to do....’ and Messi says ‘nah, we’re doing this’

This would make sense if the team had played completely differently when Messi was out but Alba still ended up as #1 in almost all categories of ways Barca moved the ball up the field. Same as when Messi was there. They're playing the way Valverde wants them to play and he needs to be fired.

Not really, just because Messi is not playing doesn’t mean he isn’t running things

Keeping Valverde after losing to Roma was the current board's worst decision, and that says a lot as they have made several wrong decisions.

It has cost them the CL and the CDL the following season and it looks like they'll have their first trophyless season in a very long time due to keeping that clueless manager there.

Sevilla v Real Madrid looks to be a good match tonight. Sevilla can go three clear at the top of the table with a win, Madrid can go top with a win. Will Hazard turn up tonight?

Anyone watching Madrid derby? Not a lot of chances, looks like a 0-0 draw unless Atletico scores in the 1h.
