La Liga 2012/2013.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

What a failure :lol:

Pretty much, hope he goes to the mancs. Can see thee mancs doing them in the CL too.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Jose Mourinho says he will not quit as Real Madrid coach, despite the club's latest defeat to Malaga which left them 16 points adrift of Barcelona in Spain's Primera Liga.

The 3-2 loss was Madrid's fourth defeat in the league this season and their seventh in all competitions.

Mourinho, who caused controversy by dropping goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas to the bench, said: "Neither before, during or after the game have I thought about resigning.

"I don't fear for my position. This is football. I'm not a child, nor have I been here for a couple of days.

"Coaches know that football has no memory and only takes into account what was done today and not what was done yesterday.

"It doesn't take into account what titles you've won, nor the work you've done, it's all about the now."

On the decision to drop Casillas, Real defender Sergio Ramos said: "It surprised us, Iker is our captain."

But Mourinho was unrepentant, saying: "My opinion is the one that matters. I analysed the players I had available and picked the team to play.

"You can invent the story you want, but it is a purely technical decision and nothing more."

He probs won't quit, they'll most probs sack his ass :lol:


On the decision to drop Casillas, Real defender Sergio Ramos said: "It surprised us, Iker is our captain."


Why drop Iker for everyone could tell it was a dumb move.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LIONEL MESSI turned down a monster £460,000-a-week offer to quit Barcelona.
The Argie superstar was stunned when an unnamed Russian side, believed to be big-spending Anzhi Makhachkala, triggered his £205million release clause.
Messi, 25, was also offered a mind-boggling salary totalling £24m a year AFTER tax, according to reports in Spain.
Barca were obliged to accept the offer, but Messi swiftly rejected the move after discussions with president Sandro Rosell and his family.
The three-time World Player of the Year then pledged his future by signing a new Barca deal.
Messi also revealed Spain was his preferred home for fiancee Antonella and young son Thiago.
It would have smashed the £80m world record deal for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Pretty much. Isco too, Malaga lost 1-0 away to Deportivo yesterday.

Come on Vela. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Still no Casillas? Cheeky bid?

[Marc Overmars]

What's the deal with Casillas then?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho is exerting his authority, before he is sacked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-0 Real Sociedad, Benzema. Everyone thought he was offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He wasn't offside.

Vela. :lol:

Ok so he was nowhere near that end of the pitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Real Sociedad, Adan sent off!

:haha:

Vela was the one fouled. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

No way is that red

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casillas on, Callejon hauled off.

Madridistas go crazy for Casillas coming on.

Mourinho. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-1 Real Sociedad, Xabi Prieto!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Casillas nearly fucked up and gave Xabi Prieto his second!

Real Madrid are a complete mess.

[Boss]

Real Madrid :haha: :haha: :haha:

[GP]

Mourinho :haha:

Tries to be a big shot by leaving out the world's best goalkeeper and they has to bring him on anyway :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho. :lol:

All goes to pot managing the world's most prestigious club within in a couple of years. Takes a special talent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad, Khedira!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-2 Real Sociedad, Xabi Prieto!

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Win, lose or draw Mourinho looks like he doesn't give a fuck. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo freekick, Bravo pushes it out, quite far actually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema hits the post, Khedira sends the rebound miles away!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 HT.

[Boss]

Best Xabi on the pitch :bow: :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Essien is horrific.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Captain Ronaldo is going for glory at every opportunity.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 3-2 Real Sociedad, Ronaldo. Great ball from Benzema.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xabi Alonso booked for being mouthy :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 4-2 Real Sociedad, Ronaldo freekick! Struck it well but not good goalkeeping from Bravo. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higuain smacks the bar! Only just came on for Benzema.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 4-3 Real Sociedad, Xabi Prieto hat-trick! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Estrada sent off for Real Sociedad. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bravo just about denies Ronaldo his hat-trick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-3 FT.

[GP]

Is he actually German?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tito is there for Barca, coaching as normal. Impressive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is he actually German?

Took ages to find out, he's from Espanyol B. Anyway, he's Spanish. Shame as his first name is actually German.

German the German. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Espanyol, Xavi. Iniesta ball across goal.

[Cripps_orig]

Xavi actually scores!!!!!

Wpoty tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :haha:

Nearly went for a throw-in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-0 Espanyol, Pedro turns in Messi's skewed shot!

:haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Watched a bit of the real match. Ronaldo is awesome. Being down to 10 men and the best player in the world steps up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He is little bit good.

Barcelona 3-0 Espanyol, Pedro! Not a pub team effort this time, about time for him. Stunning pass from Busquets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Barca! Dear god this could end being 10.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc with the Starfish to win the pel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 4-0 Espanyol, Messi! 36th of the season. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Question

If Messi doesn't score another goal this season and ends on 36, would it be considered a shit season?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I suppose it would have to after scoring 73 the previous season but then you'd have to consider that amount of goals have put them in to the position they are now, one where they will probably win the league.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Watched a bit of the real match. Ronaldo is awesome. Being down to 10 men and the best player in the world steps up

:haha: Guess even you can be wrong at times.

[Master Splinter]

Song :bow:.

He'll have some awlsome Hleb-esque +1 medals in May.

He can show them to his Birmingham teammates in June.

[Cripps_orig]

Calling Ronaldo the best natural player in the world is o lie

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Fabregas :haha:

Da fuqq was that

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casilla. :lol:

Doing a Valdes there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Casilla :lol:.

Awlful Casillas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Thiago on.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Xavi hauled off for Thiago.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa coming on. Hope he get a goal and reveals his Arsenal shirt underneath.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Pedro. What a pass from Messi to Cesc though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Cesc is hauled off for that. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shot on goal from David Villa, Casilla well behind it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro denied his hat-trick from another offside call. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Did Pedro have an Arsenal shirt on underneath?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro off, Sanchez on.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Pedro hauled off for Sanchez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Pedro have an Arsenal shirt on underneath?

He didn't get time to show it off. Damn Calderon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrific from Pique, Valdes saves his arse.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi's freekick hits the bar!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Pique has always been awful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta. :cloud9:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Iniesta. :cloud9:

Firmly roots Ronaldo at 3rd best, tbh.

[GP]

Firmly roots Ronaldo at 3rd best, tbh.

Messi
Falcao
Iniesta

tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocker of a challenge on Thiago by Moreno, only a booking.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Messi
Falcao
Iniesta

tbh

cripps :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes, not long for David Villa to show off the shirt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 4-0 Espanyol, FT. 0-0 in the second half.

Barca. :lol:

Tito. :bow:

[GP]

It's a shame Villa couldn't get a goal in his farewell appearance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hope they put on a friendly or something for him midweek.

Atleti up next, no Falcao. I can only assume he is on his way to the Emirates. Along with Adrian.

Real Mallorca: Aouate; Nunes, Geromel, Bigas, Marquez; Pina, Pereira, Arizmendi, Giovani; Nsue, Hemed

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Luis, Diaz, Godin; Tiago, Gabi, Garcia, Koke, Adrian; Costa

[GP]

Falcao, Adrian and Villa?

No reason why that definitely isn't happening.

Theo :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sports Mole. :lol:

Turan is suspended, Adrian is playing. Then he is getting on a plane from Palma though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Mallorca 0-1 Atleti, Raul Garcia!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Mallorca 1-1 Atleti, Kevin Garcia!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giovani's freekick hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT. Barca 11 points clear. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid (1) vs (2) Celta Vigo in the Copa Del Rey Fifth Round 2nd Leg tonight.

Come on Park! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Park starts. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Ronaldo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Essien.

:haha:

Give it up, old man.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0, Ronaldo again! Modric assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant double save to deny Benzema!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How hasn't Park scored?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Park was hauled off for Aspas ten minutes ago.

Aspas might be the next Bargain Bin offering to get from La Liga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergio Ramos sent off. Again!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oezil off, Di Maria on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casillas saves from Krohn-Dehli.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Casillas saves again!

[Marc Overmars]

I did wonder who Krohn-Delhi played for after Euro 2012, I just never bothered to check.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He joined Celta Vigo after the tournament.

Tournament signings. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0, Ronaldo hat-trick!

Real Madrid will play Valencia next week. :popcorn:

Should cement Messi playing against Cordoba tomorrow too. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0, Khedira scuffs one in. Ronaldo assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-2 on aggregate in the end. Ronaldo up to 28 goals for the season.

[Kano]

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/4735437/Cristiano-Ronaldo-snubbed-by-Pep-Guardiola-video.html

lolz

[GP]

Pep :bow:

Time to come home

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona: Pinto; Alves, Puyol, Mascherano, Montoya; Fabregas, Song, Thiago; Roberto, David Villa, Sanchez

Cordoba (or Getafe as Sports Mole call them): Saizar; Fuentes, Fernandez, Alberto, Lopez; Caballero, Lopez, Fede, Dubarbier; Joselu, Vico

Likely to score in this game so I imagine David Villa has the Arsenal shirt ready. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa is out wide again, this time for Cesc's benefit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc shoots, saved. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Cordoba, Thiago!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 David Villa! Great goal.

[GP]

2-0 David Villa! Great goal.

Was he wearing it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 David Villa! In off the post.

And I think he is waiting for his hat-trick to unveil it.

[GP]

He is a great player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez is hilarious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tello and Bartra on, Puyol and Cesc hauled off.

Cesc. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sergi Roberto off injured, Jonathan on.

The whole crowd was chanting for Messi to come on. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez rounds the goalkeeper, shows no composure and goes for the chance straight after, sticks it wide.

He is little bit shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 4-0 Cordoba, Sanchez heads one in. He should stick to that, using his feet isn't his thing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez embarrasses himself again!

:haha:

Even worse this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0, Tello has his shot saved on to Sanchez, knowing nothing about it has bundled it in. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0 FT.

Barca play Malaga next, as they do in the league this weekend.

Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Albiol, Varane, Coentrao; Alonso, Modric, Khedira; Callejon, Di Maria, Higuain

Ronaldo. :lol:

Although he is suspended tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandez goes out to play as left back, Higuain crosses it in but Khedira could not get there in time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Little bit shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I can't work out if this has been worse than QPR vs Spuds or not.

Also, Valencia vs Sevilla. :popcorn: Be interesting to see if Negredo is playing or not.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kaka came on as a sub, just been sent off!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Callejon. :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Kaka. :lol:

I remember him.

Time for him to come home?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osasuna 0-0 Real Madrid, FT!

:haha:

Atleti can go seven points ahead of Real Madrid tomorrow. Barca can go 18 points clear of Real Madrid. :lol:

Mourinlol. :haha:

Kaka "I belong to Arsenal".

[Maestro]

Question is who is replacing Moaninho at the end of the season

He's gone

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Agent Pep. :bow:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Question is who is replacing Moaninho at the end of the season

He's gone

Answer: Wenger :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Negredo is playing for Sevilla.

[Boss]

Rofl Madrid.

[Maestro]

Answer: Wenger :pray:

If only

[Maestro]

Rofl Madrid.

:haha::haha:

...and from this day forth they shall be known as such

[GP]

Real :haha:

Worst title defence in history

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho. :haha:

Also, Valencia 0-0 Sevilla HT. I haven't seen a live goal go in today.

Me. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 1-0 Sevilla, Soldado!

Missed the goal. :doh:

[Maestro]

You're havin' a no goals day Maccy, join the club. I've had no tv package or broadband since 29th December, almost over the cold turkey period now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How long is that going to be for?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great block from Medel to deny Soldado his second!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 2-0 Sevilla, Soldado! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 2-0 Sevilla, FT. Valencia seventh but only a point away from fourth (fifth is the CL spot probably with the Malaga troubles).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Betis 2-0 Levante is a result. Our Campbell with the first, Ruben Castro with the second.

Real Sociedad 1-1 Deportivo, Vela scoring for Sociedad.

Currently, Atletico Madrid 1-0 Real Zaragoza, Tiago. Sky's programme is on at 7.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atletico Madrid 2-0 Real Zaragoza, Falcao pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save to deny Falcao, foot like a traction engine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 FT. Atleti seven points clear of Marketing. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga: Caballero; Demichelis, Monreal, Weligton, Sanchez; Joaquin, Toulalan, Camacho, Isco; Santa Cruz

Barcelona: Valdes; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Busquets, Fabregas, Xavi; Iniesta, Messi, Pedro

Three games between these two in just over a week. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tito is there again. :bow:

What a man.

[GP]

Does Song play often?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

No. He'll get run outs in the Copa Del Rey and the +1 appearance off the bench in La Liga but that's about it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There's a banner about Isco from the Malaga supporters. I assume it's a 'don't leave us' message.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Caballero just about denies Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi, Iniesta and Messi are just playing their own game I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toulalan goes for glory, that's landing in Seville.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great pass from Iniesta, Cesc lacks the little burst to get on the end of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

12 of 18 players are from Barca's cantera, 9 out of 11 starting. Bastards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good awareness from Willy Caballero again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves rolling about like a pro.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc goes for it, nowhere near.

Good defending by Malaga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Caballero saves from Iniesta!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga 0-1 Barcelona, Messi! What a pass to him! Straight from Camacho, Messi smelt it.

Messi equals RVP's total for last season. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc just hits it wide. Iniesta is brilliant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi has a shot blocked. Malaga are getting the typical Barca pummeling at the moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga 0-1 Barcelona, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The way Messi dumped Caballero on his arse. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga 0-2 Barcelona, Cesc! Unbelievable pass from Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Camacho booked.

Iniesta and Cesc toying with them little bit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves clears, or tries to score an OG.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Messi, Sanchez just about intervenes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eliseu off, Buonanotte on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc booked. Poor tackle on Toulalan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc off, Thiago on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro off, Alexis Sanchez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi airshot! :haha:

[GP]

Messi airshot! :haha:

:haha: What a failure

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 Thiago, brilliant. Messi lay-off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga 1-3 Barcelona, Buonanotte freekick. Great goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis Sanchez is such a dick. Terrible finisher.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malaga 1-3 Barcelona, FT.

Barca 18 points ahead of Marketing. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pub team offering on SS1 tonight. Getafe vs Granada.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 1-1 Granada, Rodriguez for Getafe, Siquiera pelanty for Granada. Never a handball for their pelanty so no idea what it was given for. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 2-1 Granada, Paco! Pub team games. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 2-2 Granada, Siquieira pelanty! Right at the end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid vs Valencia in the Copa Del Rey QF 1st leg tonight. :popcorn:

Winner of this one plays the winner of Barcelona vs Malaga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid: Casillas; Essien, Albiol, Carvalho, Marcelo; Modric, Khedira, Alonso; Ozil, Ronaldo, Benzema

Valencia: Guaita; Rami, Pereira, Ruiz, Guardado; Banega, Costa, Parejo, Piatti; Jonas, Soldado

This is on SS1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo gets a freekick straight away in a dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The freekick goes wide though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo is getting a kicking. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Modric somehow puts it wide.

What a flop.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big appeal for a pelanty by Valencia, nothing given by the Calderon. And rightly so.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo shoots, Guaita saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tino Costa goes for glory, Casillas pushes it out wide but gets a lot on it. Went for a throw-in in fact.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Header from Jonas, straight at Casillas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jonas goes for it, very, very close.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very good save from Casillas to deny Jonas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia, Benzema. Stunning counter-attack.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia should've had a pelanty there, didn't bother appealing though. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo off, Coentrao on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Ruiz, good clearance in the end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soldado shoots, Casillas saves. Jonas misses an absolute sitter from that save.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia, Higuain scuffer. Might be a Guardado OG actually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guaita stops Ronaldo from making it tie over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guaita stops Ronaldo again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-0 Valencia, FT. Valencia should have an away goal at least, so that will probably be enough to seem them out.

They play each other again this weekend at the Mestalla. And then again midweek at the Mestalla. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona: Pinto; Adriano, Mascherano, Puyol, Montoya; Thiago, Song, Iniesta; Alexis Sanchez, Messi, Tello

Malaga: Kameni; Gamez, Sanchez, Weligton, Eliseu; Camacho, Iturra; Portillo, Fernandez, Buonanotte; Saviola

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi's four golden balls are on display.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago nearly lobs Kameni.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from A. Sanchez. Again. :haha:

Messi's pass to Tello. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A. Sanchez booked for diving. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 0-1 Malaga, Iturra!

What was Thiago thinking?! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song acting like a pub teamer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-1 Malaga, Messi! All done by himself. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-1 Malaga, what a header from Puyol!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A. Sanchez misses a sitter again. :bow:

[GP]

Sanchez :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He is brilliant to watch. Barca fans must want to kill him. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And now he pubs it up. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And again! :haha:

This is his Eboue vs Wigan game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tello off, Pedro on.

Sanchez hauled off, Cesc on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal sent off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrific freekick from Messi. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago off, Xavi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-2 Malaga, Camacho!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 FT. Sets it up for the second leg. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho and Ronaldo have had a dressing room bust-up apparently. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Epanyol 3-2 Real Mallorca from last night. Espanyol are on a bit of a run now, well, for them anyway.

Pochettino. :lol:

maureen needs to be very careful - ronnie could end his time at madrid very quickly - unless that's the plan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think it probably is, he just doesn't care now and that's the problem - he is going to leave the squad in turmoil when he does go.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Sociedad: C.Martinez, Mikel, Inigo, De la Bella; Markel, Illarra, Xabi Prieto; Griezmann, Vela and Castro

Barcelona: Valdés, Dani Alves, Pique, Puyol, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, Messi, Pedro.

which is nuts given they have as good a chance as anyone to go all the way in the cl - which is the way i thought he would've preferred to go, and stick it right back up em.

What a miss from Messi!

I know; if he got 'La Decima' he would be adored but he can't stop being an abrasive character, he has no control or any semblance of subtlety over that so he just keeps pushing and pushing.

Real Sociedad 0-1 Barcelona, Messi! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The intensity Barca play at game after game is crazy and it makes me wonder what team our football style is supposed to be emulating.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro smacks the post!

Sky's programme is coming on now so I needn't stream this for any longer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Floodlight failure. :bow:

Still seems bright enough though, play continues.

PEDRO!!!!

RSO 0-2 FCB

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Sociedad 0-2 Barcelona, Pedro! Xavi clips one to Dani Alves, he puts it across goal for Pedro to tap it in. Sanchez would've made that one land in Bilbao.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Inigo Martinez booked. Just letting Messi know he is there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi hits the post!
