So another draw for Barcelona against Ossasuna, they don't look that good without Messi. This is the year Valverde will get the sack I think.

One win in the last 8 La Liga when Messi hasn't been on the pitch for Messi FC. Fucked when he leaves.

I do wonder how many more years Messi has in him, Barcelona are so reliant on him it just makes me laugh. They are buggered when he has gone.

Barca has a terrible defense, they already conceded 5 against average teams. Also looks like they have no clue how to use De Jong. They are really not good in big money signings since Suarez aren't they?

10 mins left for Atletico Madrid to nick a winner, 2-2 again Eibar as it stands.

Don’t follow much Spanish football, have they conceded a few this season?

Only two I think..

And there we go. 90th minute goal for Atletico. Really impressed with them this season. Great team, exciting players, attacking football, Englishman playing week in, week out. What's not to like.

Godin will be tough to replace.

I came here to type that actually. Real Madrid and Barcelona both look bad in defense plus Real struggles to score. Felix looks like a player for Atletico. If they build the momentum early, they might actually do it.

Bale to the rescue. 2-2.

Bale scores again. 2/2

So rubbish that I’m hoping he gets the United job.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #5617 on:** September 1, 2019, 09:50:51 pm »

Bale sent off

The second yellow wasn’t even a foul

Bale saving zidanes arse, no doubt he throws him under the bus for the red card

Golyo · « **Reply #5620 on:** September 1, 2019, 10:34:44 pm »

The only thing I cannot understand about VAR is why they are not checking second yellows. They are just as important (or more, because they are much more frequent) than straight reds.

rebel23 · « **Reply #5621 on:** September 2, 2019, 01:39:01 pm »

How much has Florentino spent? About 300 million euros? And they're shite.

If Barca would get a decent manager that understands how to make a midfield function the reliance on Messi wouldn't be that bad. For one, who the hell would play Rafinha over Arthur when both are available?

I think they win the league this year. Been really impressive so far and have rejuvenated the squad really well in several areas.

They've been poorly run for years. The rumour is Lim is back to getting too involved in the day to day stuff at the club which pissed Marcelino and Alemany (Sporting Director) off.

After the madness that went on with Neville, Marcelino had done a great job in turning things round and getting them back into the CL and winning the Copa del Rey last season. Their fans aren't happy with Lim's latest move.

RedSince86 · « **Reply #5628 on:** September 11, 2019, 07:19:29 pm »

That Lim was close to buying us i recall in 2010.

Another reason to thank FSG for being here, we probabaly would have been on our 15th manager now.

Incredible transformation at Real Sociedad's Anoeta stadium. Removal of the awful, atmosphere-zapping running track and adding 10,000 seats.

Too late for Rafa to go back, imo. But he should at some point and revive this great club.

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.

Apparently it is because of exactly his last two appointments that Perez wanted to have him back last season and still prefers to have him at the helm than Zidane.

Watching Real-Levante until our match. How come Zidane actually decided to start James Rodriguez? I was surprised that he is even with Real Madrid. Levante won at Madrid last year and with Isco, Bale, Modric etc out this could be interesting.

16 year old Ansu Fati started for Barca tonight

Scored within 2 min set up 2nd with great run. Standing ovation when subbed on the hour

Scored v Germany in midweek on his debut

Got to say I didn’t have many weeks like that as a teenager

I think he hasn't chosen a national team yet. Both Spain and Guinea-Bissau are both trying to recruit him (I also read Portugal as well since he lived there for a while but I doubt it).

Why is Real playing in a half empty stadium?
