La Liga 2012/2013.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 0-1 Barcelona, David Villa. Cesc assist.

[gooners]

come back cesc!

all is forgiven --- we miss you, we kiss you, we touch you :mwah:

[Cripps_orig]

Heard that Pep wanted to see Cesc along with others during the summer and had it happened, he would have stayed

Cesc :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodri booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ruben saves this one from David Villa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi played Cesc in, Ruben saves his shot. Ball balloons up near the line but headed away from Messi.

Also, seeing Pedro there - why do all the sides that ape Barcelona forget they have players with blistering pace?

[gooners]

good save ...... cesc shot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi goes for glory with his freekick on the edge of the box, never likely to go in from there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In reference to what I said earlier: Just like there, lofted ball from Cesc for Pedro to run on to.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jose Carlos booked. Blatant foul on Jordi Alba. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Heard that Pep wanted to see Cesc along with others during the summer and had it happened, he would have stayed

Cesc :haha:
Fifa agent Francois Gallardo has claimed that Pep Guardiola would have stayed at Barcelona, had the club sanctioned the sales of Cesc Fabregas, Gerard Pique, David Villa and Dani Alves.

The coach called time on his four-year spell in charge at Camp Nou in May, citing exhaustion and a need to recharge his batteries.

However, according to the representative, he could have remained in his post, but club president Sandro Rosell saw the quartet as untouchable.

"Guardiola announced his terms of renewal to Rosell. Among them was the sale of four players - Alves, Pique, Cesc and David Villa," Gallardo was quoted as saying by AS.

"Pep did not seem committed to Fabregas, Gerard and Dani, while the reasons for Villa leaving were sporting. He was especially disappointed in Cesc as a person, as he had refused to shake his hand when he signed.

"These players were regarded as untouchable, and the fans would not have accepted the sale."

Guardiola's successor, Tito Vilanova, has enjoyed an unbeaten league start with his side sat in first place, level on points with Atletico Madrid.
Cesc :lol:

He is alwful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa offside, luckily for him given he cocked up the cushioned volley across goal. Throughballs galore from Barca at the moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes saves from Delibasic's shot. Comfortable really, even for Valdes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 0-1 Barcelona, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 0-2 Barcelona, Messi belts in one again! :bow:

Amazing team goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Piti off, Lass on.

Another one that wants to be known as Lass? :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes pulls off another save. :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa off, Sanchez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi was gifted a throughball by Rayo. :lol:

He cocked it up though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lass. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casado off, Bille on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amat booked, Dominguez too.

Shocking tackle by Amat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi takes the freekick, well caught by Ruben.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Amat booked, Dominguez too.

Shocking tackle by Amat.

A Mat :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did Rodri balls that up? Only needed to pass it across goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 0-3 Barcelona, Xavi!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 0-4 Barcelona, Cesc. Pedro's cross makes it an easy tap-in albeit volleyed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, possibly injured, J. Dos Santos on.

Bartra came on for Jordi Alba.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi. :lol:

Poor miss.

[gooners]

Cesc :lol:

He is alwful

I think pep was buying into his hype then? sell off of those players? nutter ----------- barca already have the la liga sealed this season.

cesc is proving what a player he will be for barca!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 0-5 Barcelona, Messi again! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi beat Pele's record for most goals in a calendar year with that goal. :wacko:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Heard that Pep wanted to see Cesc along with others during the summer and had it happened, he would have stayed

Cesc :haha:

You mean Sell?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-5 FT. :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Cesc :lol:

He is alwful


"Pep did not seem committed to Fabregas,

So why make a big deal to sign him then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think, if that's true the players he would've seen sold are the ones he felt weren't listening to him (anymore).

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sounds like some Goal.com BS.

Why spend all that money on Cesc, just to see him sold.

[Cripps_orig]

Sounds like some Goal.com BS.

Why spend all that money on Cesc, just to see him sold.

Ah the Goal.com thing :lol:

Even though it clearly says the source in the article :doh:

And to answer the question, cos bar his honeymoon period at the start of the season, he was shit

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ah the Goal.com thing :lol:

Even though it clearly says the source in the article :doh:

And to answer the question, cos bar his honeymoon period at the start of the season, he was shit

Never said it was goal. com i said oit sounds like Goal.com BS.

[Dennis Bendtner]

What's that Pep-Cesc handshake thing about? A strange story to come up with.

[Cripps_orig]

Sounds to me like Cesc, seeing Pep was a **** wanted to be a bigger **** and refused to shake his hand

[Olivier's xmas twist]

He was especially disappointed in Cesc as a person, as he had refused to shake his hand when he signed.

:haha:

Though tbf Cesc does have it in him to be a **** tbh. Seen it loads of times here.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ah the Goal.com thing :lol:

Even though it clearly says the source in the article :doh:


I agree.

A scumbag agent is definitely a step up from Goal.com.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Zaragoza 2-1 Sevilla. They might not need a Wigan-esque escape this year.

Levante 3-1 Granada.

Athletic Club are 0-2 down to Getafe. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They pulled one back, SS Scorecentre doesn't want to tell me who through though. They lost 1-2 in any case.

Atleti are on SS1 at 7 though the match is just about to kick off now.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Any decent Bilbao players left, bar Llorente, that could be nicked?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Susaeta, De Marcos, Muniain. All of them have been scarred a bit by getting annihilated in two finals though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adrian is on the bench for Atleti, Falcao is back. Cristian Rodriguez is playing instead of Adrian.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Miranda booked.

John Toshack is in the studio, thankfully we won't hear from him until half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atletico Madrid: Courtois, Filipe Luis, Godin, Miranda, Juanfran, Suarez, Gabi, Raul Garcia, Emre, Rodriguez, Falcao.

Osasuna: Andres, Nano, Arriba, Lolo, Oler, Punal, Annan, Timor, Lamah, Sola, Armenteros.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Godin booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-0 Osasuna, Miranda!

If Mourinho finishes below both Barca and Atleti...:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Raul Garcia scores against his old club.

Atleti. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1, Lamah combed that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 HT. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Emre off, Adrian on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raul Garcia off, Arda Turan on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falcao booked, leading with the arm a bit but only on a shoulder.

Also, Falcao has been little bit shit tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falcao misses his backheel. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 3-1 Osasuna, Falcao just volleys one in, despite having a stinker.

That is an awesome finish.

[GP]

Sign him up!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Sola to get Osasuna back in it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 FT. Atleti. :bow:

Real Mallorca: Aoute, Bigas, Conceicao, Geromel, Ximo, Nsue, Fontas, Marti, Giovani Dos Santos :lol:, Victor, Hemed.

Real Madrid: Casillas, Essien, Pepe, Varane, Sergio Ramos, Modric, Xabi Alonso, Di Maria, Oezil, Ronaldo, Higuain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Mallorca 0-1 Real Madrid, Higuain. Mourinho couldn't care less.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Casillas adjusting to a deflected cross.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Ronaldo. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo's scream. :haha:

[Maestro]

Ronaldo's scream. :haha:

like a bitch he did

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No sympathy from anyone, funnily enough.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 Higuain with his second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4, Ronaldo gets his second. :lol: Provided the assist for Higuain's second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-5, Callejon.

Personally I feel, he'll be going to City or Utd if he ever came to the EPL anyways.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga 1-2 Rayo. Piti with two for Rayo, Demichelis for Malaga. Shocking result for them.

Celta Vigo: Varas; Mallo, Lago, Arceo, Oubina; Vila, Lopez, Fernandez; Aspas, Bermejo, Krohn-Dehl

Park. :lol:

Also, this starts on SS4 in about ten minutes though the match has kicked off now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi shoot, saved by Varas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Valdes denies Aspas one-on-one! Park would've buried it.

Barcelona 1-0 Celta Vigo, Adriano! Good team goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-1 Celta Vigo, Bermejo!

Valdes. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-1 Celta Vigo, Jordi Alba! Messi assist but Jordi Alba was a mile offside.

If they sell Falcao in Jan they got no chance imo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Valladolid 1-1 Valencia, FT.

Currently: Athletic Club 1-0 Sevilla, De Marcos.

Also I don't think Atleti will come any closer than Sevilla did in 06/07 (went to the last day with three teams as possible winners), they will however be a lot close than they have been recently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi overtakes Pele's record for goals in a calendar year. Just Gerd Muller to hunt down now. :popcorn:

[Master Splinter]

Pele will be borrowing MO's razors.

And will issue a press release to state he scored 458909075 goals during the filming of Escape To Victory. Which, of course, Messi will never get close to.

Pele :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi can include all goals scored from the FIFA games.

All of Barca's XI playing now have come through La Masia.

I'm not racist of managers getting foreign imports...but genuine respect to Barca for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm not racist of managers getting foreign imports...but genuine respect to Barca for that.

And agreed. Although it'd be more impressive if they didn't have to buy back three of them but then they wouldn't have got as many games if they hadn't I suppose.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

All of Barca's XI playing now have come through La Masia.

Barcelona 2-0 Athletic Club, Messi! Might be an OG actually but I doubt it will be that. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca have been incredibly direct in this game so far. Scary proposition if that continues.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta probably should've scored with his technique.

Jordi Alba's in-field runs cause havoc.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi hits the bar! Stunning football.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-0 Athletic Club, Adriano! Superb pass from Cesc. Messi with the Hleb assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 4-1 Athletic Club, Ibai Gomez. Good goal.

Adriano off, Montoya on.

Iniesta off, Thiago on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Busquets off, Song on.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

The first is certainly a :popcorn: as to whether it was going in or not. It's been credited to him though, according to Andy West... whoever he is.

The movement from him to get away from Amorebieta though was :bow:. So simple, just dart back a yard and go back inside and yet it got him into 5 yards of space.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marca are in charge of the Pichichi though, no chance of him getting the goal from them. :lol: I think it might have gone in, it was spinning enough for it to.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

José Mourinho will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, according to reports in Spain. The Portuguese has come under fire from supporters this season following Madrid's poor start to the domestic season which has enabled Barcelona to establish an 11-point lead over Mourinho's men.

They are also five points behind second-placed Atlético Madrid despite Saturday night's 2-0 defeat of their near-neighbours.

Mourinho was jeered by sections of the crowd in last Tuesday's Copa del Rey defeat of Alcoyano, prompting the former Porto, Chelsea and Internazionale boss to offer supporters the chance to vent their frustration by arranging to come to the side of the pitch 40 minutes before the Atlético game.

The reaction was mixed but with less than 5,000 fans inside the Bernabéu at the time, it offered little indication as to how the majority were feeling.

Nevertheless, it is now being speculated that Mourinho and the Madrid president Florentino Pérez have agreed his tenure at the club will come to an end next summer.

Under a picture of a broken heart, Marca says: "José Mourinho will not coach Real Madrid next season.

"Both Mou and Florentino Pérez believe the Portuguese's cycle on the bench at the Bernabéu is exhausted and that the current situation cannot continue beyond 30 June."

Marca, which is known to have strong links with Real, reports that Pérez has become concerned by a number of incidents this season which have not cast the club in a good light.

Firstly, there was an incident with Sergio Ramos which saw the Spain defender put on Mesut Ozil's shirt underneath his own after the German was substituted at half-time of a game against Deportivo La Coruña.

Ramos later claimed he was merely showing support for his team-mate but the move was perceived as an attempt to undermine Mourinho's authority.

Ramos was later dropped.

There was also the public spat with Alberto Toril, manager of the reserve side Real Madrid Castilla, who play in the Segunda Division.

Mourinho accused Toril of focusing too much on results rather than trying to produce young players for the first team.

And it would seem the publicity stunt prior to the Atlético game may have been the final straw.

Marca's report added: "Florentino believes Mourinho is 'committing suicide' with his decisions and statements this season – the Ramos case, the war with Toril and checking the pulse of the Bernabéu.

"They will try to get to the end of the season in a friendly manner as Florentino does not want a crisis in the middle of the season.

"But what is certain is that the decision is taken: this will be the last season of the Mou tenure in Madrid."

The speculation is sure to alert a number of clubs around Europe and, in particular, England where Mourinho is still highly regarded following his spell at Stamford Bridge where he won two Premier League crowns and one FA Cup.

He has been linked with a return to Chelsea, currently under the interim stewardship of Rafael Benítez, and Manchester United when Sir Alex Ferguson finally retires.

Ferguson is a fan of Mourinho and asked if he could replace him in the Old Trafford hot-seat, he told ITV4: "He can manage anywhere, absolutely. I'm not going to put any forecasts on what is going to happen at this club.

"I won't last forever, but José can manage anywhere, there is no question about that."

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Pellegrino has been sacked by Valencia. :rolleyes:

And have appointed Ernesto Valverde until the end of the season.

Rafa :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getting rid of Emery was crazy, although the fans are mainly to blame for that I think. He was sacked by Spartak Moscow last week I think.
