[Olivier's xmas twist]

Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente feels more comfortable after a 'hard' summer but has implied he will still look to leave the club in January.

The Spain international was linked with a summer move away from San Mames after making it clear he was not going to sign an extension to his current contract, which expires at the end of the season.

Llorente was reportedly a target of Juventus, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool and his apparent lack of commitment saw him axed from Athletic's team.

The forward made a goalscoring return to the side in Sunday's 3-3 draw with Espanyol and he feels 'happy' but he will also be able to hold talks with other clubs in the New Year.

"In January, I am free to negotiate my future," he told Radio Cadena Ser. "But I want to be focused to try to help the team."

He added: "It has been a bumpy and hard summer. I've had to make tough decisions. You never know how things are going and I had to go through difficult times.

"When you pass bad times, you get stronger and I'm happy things are calmer."

[Marc Overmars]

Massive bargain up for grabs here.

Which will probably mean huge wages though, so I doubt we'll be in the running.

[Syn]

Would be great for a plan B. But if we're going all out Spanish 4-6-0 tippy tappy then we don't need an imposter like Llorente starting.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho is at the centre of a row after slating his own team on the eve of the Champions League clash with Manchester City.

Mourinho blasted his side after they slumped to their second defeat in four La Liga games this term which left them eight points adrift of leaders Barcelona.

The Portuguese claimed he 'didn't have a team' following the 1-0 reversal to Sevilla, comments which have riled former Madrid president Ramon Calderon.'Mourinho's comments don't help the team in any way. The players could just as easily say that they don't have a coach right now,’ Calderon stated to RAC1.

'It would be better to see these losses as incidents. I imagine that the players are not too happy with Mourinho's comments.

'I believe that the team is fully committed to the team. The players are giving their all out there on the pitch.'

Mourinho has been forced onto the defensive early into his third season at the Bernabeu with the future of Ronaldo at the heart of much speculation.

He was probed on Saturday night about the relationship between Ronaldo's mood and the team's performance.

Mourinho has been forced onto the defensive early into his third season at the Bernabeu with the future of Ronaldo at the heart of much speculation.

He was probed on Saturday night about the relationship between Ronaldo's mood and the team's performance.

'I do not think it has anything to do with it,' he said.

'Today's match was no different from those against Getafe and Granada, which we won.

'So I don't think that the rumours of the last couple of weeks have anything to do with it.

'It is about a state of mind and of two or three who aren't thinking like the rest.

'They are the minds of players who are not committed and for whom football is not a priority in their lives.

'There aren't many involved and it's complicated, but I'm coach and if there are those less committed, then it is my fault.'

The Premier League champions travel to the Spanish capital on Tuesday desperate to put in a better performance in the tournament than they did last season when they failed to get out of their group.

And City boss Roberto Mancini has acknowledged the European opener is his biggest game since he took over at the Etihad Stadium in December 2009.

'It's a fantastic moment for everyone at the club,' he said. 'When you play against Real Madrid, they are the history of football for 100 years. They have won everything.

'Real Madrid don't have only Cristiano Ronaldo - the best player in the world with Lionel Messi - but they have 18 top players.

'I think these can be incredible moments in the career of every player, because we play against a team with 100 years of history.'

Wouldn't surprise me if City got a result given how dodgy Madrid are at the moment.

[Master Splinter]

City don't look too impressive either.

Real are pretty awlsome at home in the CL.

Real Betis 1-0 Espanyol, FT.

Balague. :lol:

Shocking season for them.

Sky's programme is on SS4 now for the Barca game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song. :haha:

Terrible heading ability.

Flores shoots but easy for Valdes.

Alexi Song according to Gerry Armstrong. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible pass from Cesc.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tono saves from Cesc, right down Tono's throat really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great chance for Siqueira, well saved by Valdes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great work from Tono to stop an OG.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant blocks from Granada.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. :lol:

[GP]

Cesc :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa off, Pedro on.

Thiago off, Xavi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi should score, Tono saves again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gomez booked. :lol:

As cynical as it gets on Messi there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adriano off, Tello on.

Tito taking a risk leaving Cesc on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tono denies a great chance for Cesc!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tono saves from Xavi this time!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc tumbles to the ground, no pelanty given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tono saves Sanchez's header. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes denies Orellana!

Song's fault if that had gone in, pitiful attempt of a tackle near the touchline.

Now Tono saves from Messi again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Where the hell was Song on that counterattack? :haha:

And he trots back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Granada, Xavi! What a goal. He is the new Frankcesc without question.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro should seal it but he puts it over. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi smacks the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-0 Granada, Gomez OG. Messi set it up, beautifully finished.

Barcelona 2-0 Granada, FT.

Real Madrid 11 points behind now. :lol:

The Catalan side were frustrated for large periods of the game and that appeared to boil over when Villa engaged in a heated debate with his team-mate after Messi failed to pass him the ball.

Great team player indeed :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What was funny is just how long it went on for.

Real Mallorca 2-0 Valencia, Hemed and Arizmendi.

Levante 2-1 Real Sociedad, Zurutuza opened the scoring for the Vela's, Barkero pelanty to equalise and Martins got the winner. Levante are great.

Currently Atletico Madrid 2-1 Real Valladolid, Godin and Falcao pelanty, Bueno for Vallodolid.

Athletic Club vs Malaga is on Sky Sports 1 soon. Should be a great game.

0-0 at HT, second half is on now. Llorento is on too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid: Casillas, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Essien, Xabi Alonso, Di María, Modric, Ronaldo, Benzema.

Kick off will be delayed, electricity at Rayo's stadium has failed. Possibly deliberate. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muniain off, Toquero on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT, terrible game.

Me. :lol:

Mitigated by European matches in midweek though, hopefully.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The floodlight wires have been cut. :haha:

WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

La Liga. :bow:

Literally anything can happen.

The game could be on tonight, still up in the air.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balague is cringing at how bad this looks for La Liga. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Sunday's Liga clash between Rayo Vallecano and Real Madrid could be pushed back at least one hour due to a problem with stadium lighting.

Speaking to Canal+, Vallecas president Martin Presa explained: "If we we can play, it will be later. We have suffered a sabotage. Someone has cut the cables from the tribune."

"The solution is to reconnect the cables and expect electricity to give the spotlight. The wires were cut off and that's not normal.

"The police should do their job. The referee is informed and technicians have said that in 30 minutes we will know if we can restore the light."

Should the match be played this evening, it is expected to kick off at around 22:30 CET. However, if the issues cannot be resolved, the game could rescheduled at a later date.

Unless someone else comes in with scissors.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo Vallecano 0-1 Real Madrid, Benzema. Tap-in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Maria goes for glory, not far wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Modric had a sitter, put it straight at Ruben. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It should be 1-1, Casillas made a save, Xabi Alonso cleared off the line and then it was put wide.

Real Madrid. :lol:

What a shambles.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Ruben to deny Benzema.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dominguez booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Calcado just kicked Di Maria right in the shin, with force.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is just like last season, Rayo missing a gabillion chances to equalise.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo puts one over, no interest in squaring it whatsoever.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Marketing. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Modric hauled off, Oezil on.

Modric. :lol:

What a berk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Marketing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema off, Higuain on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higuain misses another sitter. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higuain plays it across goal like Ronaldo did for that previous chance and now Ronaldo has missed a sitter. :haha:

Somehow hit the post from six yards out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe gets kicked in the face. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casado sent off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 FT.

[Master Splinter]

Liverpool should buy Higuain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar is going to join Barcelona next season apparently.

Cesc. :lol:

Also Deportivo 0-2 Sevilla from last night. Sevilla's second goal was beautifully constructed by Deportivo's goalkeper. :bow:

Negredo scored the first, Rakitic had it belted against him for the second.

[GP]

It should be 1-1, Casillas made a save, Xabi Alonso cleared off the line and then it was put wide.

Real Madrid. :lol:

Former Barca chief Joan Laporta has accused the current Barcelona hierarchy of having links to violent fan groups.

Laporta aired his views on the program Punto Pelota which aired on Thursday night.

The 50-year-old targeted president Sandro Rosell claiming he and the board have connections to football hooligans and want them to return to Camp Nou.

He said: “There is evidence that these gentlemen have links to those violent groups that are lurking, hidden, and ready to return to their evil ways.”

The Spanish politician, in a pointed attack, went on to say that Guardiola was forced out of the club and Tito Villanova’s appointment was a panic measure.

He continued: “The decision to appoint Tito Vilanova was one of fear and panic. Guardiola left because of a dereliction of duty on the part of the board as the president was hiding because he was only concerned with making a disgusting persecution of the previous directive.

“They [the present board] are devoted to lying and said that Barca would not exist without Qatar [the Foundation]. It’s all lies."

Laporta added that he is still a fan favourite with the Barcelona supporters and says they are asking him to run in the next presidential elections.

He claimed: “At the moment I’m in a period of reflection. If I’m thinking of returning then it is because the people ask me to."

Laporta did have time to talk about on the field matters too during the interview, commenting on Lionel Messi’s leadership skills, saying he was pivotal in getting Gerard Pique back to the Nou Camp.

He added: “Messi has a special way about him where he exercises leadership. He never imposes on anybody and the only thing I can remember is a comment about [Gerard] Pique when we told him we were going to get rid of Ronaldinho.

“Bring Pique, bring Pique! He really looked after me when we were in the youth team, he told me.”

:lol:

They seem like a club with a hooligan element

[Cripps_orig]

Referee Mateu Lahoz has been punished by the Spanish Football Association (RFEF) for the "technical error" made during the recent La Liga match between Sevilla and Barcelona.

Barca came from behind to win 3-2 after Gary Medel was controversially given his marching orders for appearing to headbutt Cesc Fabregas, while Sevilla boss Michel was sent to the stands for protesting.

Lahoz also missed a handball by Thiago in the build-up to David Villa's winning goal.

The RFEF have deemed the expulsion of Medel unwarranted, given what took place during the player's confrontation with Fabregas.

"On one hand, there is no aggression in the strictest sense. It was a struggle between two rival players, who brought together their heads and it did not lead to a clearly violent event," the RFEF said in a statement.

"On the other side, the rival player has clearly exaggerated the effect of the struggle, feigning to have received a violent headbutt. Yet, Gary Medel was sent off as if he were guilty of a violent act. Consequently, a clear technical error is apparent as the facts of the case do not warrant the punishment given."

Lahoz will now serve a one-match suspension, with Clos Gomez taking his place in officiating the match between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo on October 20.


Nothing more needs to be said about why Barca have been so successful

Shows how good a manager Mourinho is to win La Liga so impressively last season when Real had all the refs against them willing for a Barca title win

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casillas handled it outside the area, only booked. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 1-1 Athletic, Aduriz's goal was awlsome. Soldado pelanty for Valencia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Aduriz! What a pub team goal. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aranzubia just about saves from Messi. All the Barcelona players are having stormers. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And as I say that, Depor pelanty!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deportivo 1-3 Barcelona, Pizzi. Not sure it was a pelanty and not only because it was outside the area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deportivo 2-3 Barcelona, Bergantinos! Another absolute shocker from Valdes. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ayoze booked. Complete hack on Messi. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tello off, Pedro on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Pedro immediately misses a great chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc off, Xavi on.

Valeron off, Cumanas on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Riki shoots, Valdes saves it. :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Currently:

Granada 0-2 Real Zaragoza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zaragoza won 1-2.

Osasuna 0-0 Real Betis, somehow.

Real Sociedad 0-0 Atleti is five minutes in to the second half. Atleti have been a bit shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vela. :haha:

What a chance. That is on its way to Bilbao.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Sociedad 0-1 Atleti, Falcao! What a freekick.

[Marc Overmars]

He can score freekicks as well? FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Sociedad 0-1 Atletico Madrid, FT. Tens wins in a row for them (in all competitions).

And yeah, Falcao is going mental. The thing is, he had sod all to go off for the whole game then he just decides to shit on them. In the 89th minute.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Must get tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm thinking of saving up on Arsenal's benefit. We should be able to get him when he is 150.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Chelsea will get him.

Failing that, City will get him.

Wenget him? Nope.

Get the razor blades out now I think. He must be the most complete centre-forward in the world? I don't think many out there can score all types of goal and be so clinical in their execution.

Wenget him? Nope.

Undoutedly he is the best (recognised) striker in the world, we needn't mention the two freaks above him.

[Marc Overmars]

RVC is arguably on par, unfortunatley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's as good as Wreh to me now.
