La Liga 2012/2013.

[GP]

We won't get Villa in the summer. I think that ship has sailed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta it is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta off, Thiago on.

[Cripps_orig]

Last thing we need is another tippy tappy no end product footballer in iniesta. We have Arteta who can play there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No the last thing we need is Gareth Barry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delibasic off, Espanyol legend Raul Tamudo on to little bit abuse.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-1 Rayo Vallecano, Raul Tamudo! Always scores against Barca. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Ruben to deny Messi his hat-trick and David Villa his hat-trick of assists.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Piti really close to making it 3-2.

Rayo. :bow:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Seems Cesc might yet play a full 90 minutes....

Au contraire, Song-zou :haha:

If ever there was a career stifling move.

Both need to come home, tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa shoots, Ruben saves.

David Villa down injured now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seems Cesc might yet play a full 90 minutes....

Au contraire, Song-zou :haha:

If ever there was a career stifling move.

Both need to come home, tbh.

Cesc off, Song on.

Barca don't trust two Arsenal players on at the same time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi decides to shit on Rayo again, chips it on to the bar from a silly angle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-1 Rayo Vallecano, FT.

Barca go back to being 13 points clear.

[Cripps_orig]

Barca 13 clear

Mancs 15

Bayern 20+ I think

Juve 9

Football :lol:

[Kano]

three of those four through to the quarters of the cl

the premiership :lol:

[Kano]

always graceful in defeat. never bitter.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/mar/20/jose-mourinho-irregularities-world-coach

[Cripps_orig]

http://www.goal.com/en/news/article?contentId=3848214

Shows how corrupt FIFA are and how worthless their awards are

[Özim]

Looks like Mourinho wasn't bitter after all and actually had a valid point.

[Kano]

who cares, funny either way. even more so if the **** gets more grief from fifa over it.

[Cripps_orig]

Shows FIFA are corrupt so I assume football fans care

[Kano]

nah

[Cripps_orig]

Also shows that their awards are jokes proving once and for all Messi isn't the best in the world.

[Kano]

it only increases the laughs on poor lil ole ronnie and co tbh.

[Cripps_orig]

Nah

[Master Splinter]

In this thread, are we reiterating that Mourinho is a ****?

If so, yes, he is.

[Kano]

mega**** in fact. he does a great job of promoting that himself tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

Why is he a ****?

Same reason people don't like Ronaldo? In that he was at our rivals when he was in England? People need to get over it tbh

[Kano]

no, he's just a ****.

so are the barca lot so let's not get careless about it.

[Cripps_orig]

Hopefully a **** that is our next manager tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 1-3 Malaga, FT. Weligton for Malaga, Piti pelanty equalised then Baps and Morales scored the other two goals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abidal is on the bench for Barca. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Is that the worst On Paper Barca team in a decade?

Song does contribute to 90% of that though tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Park was clearly impeded there, foul goes the other way.

And yeah, that team isn't good but then I suppose they can afford it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique. :haha:

Completely sliced it, Pinto makes a great save to deny him and then a Celta Vigo player, not sure who. Not Park, sadly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celta Vigo 1-0 Barca, Insa!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi smacks a freekick, Varas saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celta Vigo 1-1 Barcelona, Tello!

Messi assist. :faint:

Great finish from Tello though having said that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc has no idea what he is doing out there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Park. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good first time effort from Park, ultimately wide though.

Gerry Armstrong has a funny idea of what 'on target' means.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Park off, Bermejo on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez penalised for handball with his chest.

Thiago off, Iniesta on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez hauled off, David Villa on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celta Vigo 1-2 Barcelona, Messi! 19 La Liga games in a row, all other 19 La Liga teams in succession!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Messi! :bow:

The inevitable happens.

Vigo 1-2 Barca.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was an amazing 1-2 between Messi and Tello, for the goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celta Vigo 2-2 Barcelona, Oubina!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And 2-2 FT!

Real Madrid can close the gap to 11 points, soon. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Zaragoza: Jimenez; Sapunaru, Loovens, Abraham, Alvaro; Movilla, Apono, Montanes, Oriol; Postiga, Rodri

Real Madrid: Lopez; Arbeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Kaka, Modric, Essien; Callejon, Ronaldo, Higuain

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Complete scuffer from Rodri, good chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Zaragoza 1-0 Real Madrid, Rodri!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zaragoza actually play a dance version of Seven Nation Army after a goal. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zaragoza scramble it off the line from Pepe's header!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Zaragoza 1-1 Real Madrid, Ronaldo!

[Niall_Quinn]

And 2-2 FT!

Real Madrid can close the gap to 11 points, soon. :popcorn:

Only if Ronaldo can score more (drugs) than Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes Mourinho Time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT. Real Madrid remain 13 points behind Barca. :lol:

Atleti can go back up to second with a win tomorrow.

[GP]

1-1 FT. Real Madrid remain 13 points behind Barca. :lol:

Atleti can go back up to second with a win tomorrow.

Mourinho was on his way to the bottle bank...

[Cripps_orig]

19 league games in a row for Messi? Impressive

Would be more impressive if all the Barca players didn't look for him all the time to score goals. Villa is dead. Iniesta and Xavi are shite. Cesc and Sanchez :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho was on his way to the bottle bank...

Mourinho does it again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 0-1 Valencia, Jonas!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 0-0 Levante currently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 0-1 Levante, Michel!

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-1 Levante, Higuain.

What a goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Real Madrid.

Ronaldo isn't on though, so no +1 for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-1 Levante, Kaka.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 3-1 Levante, Ronaldo. :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1, Oezil.

More pizza and lemonade needed to motivate Levante.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 5-1 Levante, FT. Oezil with his second right at the end.

Barca play in a couple of hours, without Messi of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deportivo 2-2 Zaragoza currently.

22 goals out of the La Liga fixtures from this gameweek so far. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deportivo 3-2 Real Zaragoza, Abraham OG!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abraham sent off.

Poor sod.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deportivo 3-2 Real Zaragoza, FT!

That means Deportivo are only a point behind Real Zaragoza now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona: Pinto; Alves, Pique, Bartra, Montoya; Iniesta, Song, Thiago; Sanchez, Fabregas, Tello

Real Mallorca: Aouate; Hutton, Nunes, Kevin, Bigas; Tissone, Pina, Alfaro; Giovani, Nsue, Hemed

Time for Cesc and Song to show their worth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Song nearly lets Hemed in.

Great pass from Iniesta, Tello scuffs one across goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago takes Nsue out with a flying crossbody or was it a flying headbutt?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique nearly completely flummoxed Pinto with that backpass. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous cross from Sanchez, not sure why he thought belting it on the volley was going to lead to anything. Then again given the man involved, it could've been a shot on target.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc shoots, easily saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Real Mallorca, Cesc! Great play between he and Sanchez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-0 Real Mallorca, Sanchez! Easy rebound to put in after Cesc's initial shot was saved.

Messi. :lol:

Put him out to pasture tbf.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Barcelona 2-0 Real Mallorca, Sanchez! Easy rebound to put in after Cesc's initial shot was saved.

Messi. :lol:

Put him out to pasture tbf.

:haha:

Almost spilled my drink upon reading that line.

Time for Cesc to lift his **** shirt and reveal his 2013/14 Adidas shirt, and come home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aouate saves from Iniesta.

Iniesta when he travels with the ball past players. :cloud9:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez misses a sitter AGAIN!

:haha:

What a legend.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves goes backwards tumbling, Tito wondering where his defence has gone, doesn't matter thtough as Mallorca pull off a Sanchez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-0 Real Mallorca, Cesc with his second!

Sanchez with another assist. :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 4-0 Real Mallorca, Sanchez with his second!

Cesc with his second assist of the night.

Poor old Mallorca, showing why they are rock bottom, must bring a tear to Gerry Armstrong's eye. And Nadal's.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balague makes the outlandish suggestion that Sanchez has been a laughing stock (prior to this match).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 5-0 Real Mallorca, Cesc hat-trick! :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Last ditch defending by Bartra denies Giovani.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta off, Jonathon on.

Dos Santos brothers on the pitch. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Alfaro.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So close from Tello.

Abidal is warming up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc off, Deulofeu on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique off, Abidal on. :bow:

Great to see him back.

Real Zaragoza 0-1 Barcelona, Thiago!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago does the heart celebration.

Bale is on his way!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Movilla booked. What a scrote.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song with an elbow to the mush of Victor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Zaragoza 0-2 Barcelona, ruthless finish from Tello.

Good pass from Thiago.

Barca are three wins away from the title if they hold on here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez hits the bar! Great effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Zaragoza 0-3 Barcelona, Tello with his second!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adriano off, Abidal on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Sergi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alvaro gives Sanchez a good kicking, on his shoulder though, not his face.

Tello off, David Villa on.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Sounds like they're missing that Messi guy again...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just a run-of-the-mill team without him.

Real Zaragoza 0-3 Barcelona, FT.

[Cripps_orig]

Aren't Zaragoza a bit shit?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're the Wigan of La Liga, so yes I suppose so.

Athletic Bilbao: Iraizoz; Ramalho, Ekiza, San Jose, Aurtenetxe; Iturraspe, Herrera, Muniain; Susaeta, Llorente, Ibai.

Real Madrid: Diego Lopez; Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Albiol; Khedira, Xabi Alonso; Modric; Ronaldo, Benzema, Di Maria.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a covering tackle from Di Mario.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Mario somehow hit the bar a few minutes ago.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :lol:

Riling everyone up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xabi Alonso takes out San Jose and Khedira. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muniain booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Di Mario off, Callejon on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Ronaldo with a bullet header. 50 for him, not a bad knock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ibai off, Toquero on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toquero booked. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 Higuain.

Celta de Vigo v Real Zaragoza, 21:00

Real Madrid vs Real Betis should be a goalfest (for both teams). Levante could well get pumped by a tennis score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid: Lopez; Nacho, Carvalho, Albiol, Marcelo; Modric, Ozil, Casemiro; Ronaldo, Benzema, Callejon

Real Betis: Adrian; Chiva, Paulao, Amaya, Martinez; Benat, Igiebor, Canas; Castro, Pabon, Campbel

Campbell. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marcelo has just torn his hamstring, Varane on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbell goes for glory with a scissors kick. Not too far wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Ruben Castro, heads it over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo smacks the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pabon smacks the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-0 Real Betis, Oezil. Great play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-0 Real Betis, Benzema. Ronaldo assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbell off, Vadillo on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Modric off injured, Pepe on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Real Betis!

Nacho booked. Terrible tackle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-1 Real Betis, Molina.

Weird to take a pelanty with such a short run-up but it worked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raul Albiol nearly puts it in to his own net.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

My god what a scramble! Real Betis hit the bar after a rubbish header back gets intercepted, then Varane or Raul Albiol scuffs a clearance off the line.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scramble in Betis' area now. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 3-1 Real Betis, Oezil tap-in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 3-1 Real Betis, FT.

Fun match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona: Valdes; Alves, Abidal :bow:, Adriano, Montoya; Thiago, Song, Iniesta; Tello, Cesc, David Villa

Levante: Navas; Lopez, Vyntra, Navarro, Juanfran; El Zhar, Diop, Barkero, Simao, Ruben; Acquafresca.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Barca.

Probably shouldn't have been

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa has it saved! Rebound is saved, think that might've been Cesc trying to blast it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a pass from Iniesta to Tello.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woeful from Cesc, how fast does he think Tello is?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc has the ball hit him in the face through his own pubbery. Somehow it is given as handball.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And it was 0-0 HT. Second half on in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good run from El Zhar, shit pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Juanfran's clearance. :haha:

Flashback to Anfield 2009 there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Acquafresca is an awlsome name.

Iniesta hauled off, Xavi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thiago off, Pedro on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tello off, Sanchez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for David Villa but blazes it over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Levante, Cesc!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Navas to deny Cesc from miles out and then Pedro soon after.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Levante, FT!

Still 13 points clear and now only need two more wins to guarantee the title. Real Madrid are away to Atleti next weekend. :popcorn: Although they usually win.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 5-1 Malaga. :blink:

Parejo, Soldado with two (the second a pelanty), Canales. Baps made it 4-1, Banega just belted the fifth in a minute ago.

The first four Valencia goals came in six minutes. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just noticed on Sky's info that this match is being played at the Vicente Calderon apparently. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sevilla: Beto; Navarro, Cala, Coke, Botia; Moreno, Rakitic, Kondogbia; Reyes, Negredo, Navas

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Godin, Miranda, Luis; Gabi, Suarez, Koke; Rodriguez, Falcao, Costa

[Cripps_orig]

Reyes :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from Courtois!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa is hilarious. He'd fill the Suarez nutter/troll quota for certain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Diego Costa is hauled off, pushes an opposition player trying to shake his hand then throws a bottle down in disgust. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sevilla 0-1 Atletico Madrid, Falcao! Superb volley from Raul Garcia after an awlsome cross with the outside of his foot by Adrian.

Falcao tap-in timmy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great effort from Rakitic, Courtois just tips his freekick on to the bar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sevilla 0-1 Atletico Madrid, FT!

Great win. They can go back ahead of Real Madrid next weekend if they beat them 3-0 and in doing so would give the title to Barca.

[Globalgunner]

Another chance to look at Munain. Next best thing now Goetze has been kidnapped

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A shot from Song. :o

Iraizoz saves of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-0 Barcelona, Susaeta!

[GP]

Sanchez hits the post!


Athletic Club 1-0 Barcelona, Susaeta!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Herrera rips off Xavi's armband. Booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Aduriz, somehow heads it over!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

Not exactly likely to score from that angle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

Cesc and Song. :lol:

Time for Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abidal off, Adriano on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Susaeta freekick, hits the frame of the goal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Messi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro shot, Iraizoz saves. Messi heavily involved already. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez. :haha:

Weak shot. Brilliant work from Dani Alves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-1 Barcelona, MESSI!

What a ridiculous goal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 1-2 Barcelona, Sanchez! Messi assist. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Messi magic. Shit. This Barca team would be midtable without him. Nice chap Messi. He deserves a better team

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's coming home. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://footyjokes.lockerdome.com/articles/107428388

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez off, Iniesta on.

[Globalgunner]

Pique is not even half the player he was the season after leaving United. I wonder whats going on with him. He`s not having to share breastfeeding duties with U know who now is he?.

Maybe he is one of those dumbass defenders who can only play well with a more accomplished partner. Look man. Puyol is dead, he aint coming back. So get used to it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Barca, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Only just wide from Messi.

[Globalgunner]

Song saves a near certain goal from Muniain. Barca defending.....makes ours look concrete.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 2-2 Barcelona, Herrera!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 FT.

Barca can't win the title this weekend, though they are a point closer of course.

[Master Splinter]

Messilona :lol:.

Ach woz rite.

[Globalgunner]

Good luck to Barca, more than a 1 man team, must be because they are not even a team without Messi. I feel for the manager but they need a total oiverhaul of their methodologies to avoid the obituaries being written at the end of this season. Even though theyt will win La liga.


NOw to the Madrid Derby.....Come on Athleti!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Godin, Miranda, Filipe; Suarez, Gabi, Koke, Raul Garcia; Diego Costa, Falcao.

Genuine question

Other than Messi, do Barcelona have a world class player?

Bloody hell man. Iniesta?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

FALCAO!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Speaking of one-man teams, that Real Madrid team doesn't look too impressive today either.

If Atletico can't get one over them today, they should kill themselves.

Surely you're not serious?

You can't be. He is terrible. Can't score, lacks end product and this for an attacking midfielder is laughable. Hs widely regarded n Spain as a glorified Arteta which says it all

Widely regarded as the architect of 2 euro and 1 WC win. This from you who thinks Walcott is something special. I actually thought you were asking seriously

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid, Jaunfran OG. They'll never beat them conceding goals as flukey as that.

[Globalgunner]

Athletico`s demons coming back to haunt them again. How did that go in?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falcao should've done better with that header.

Scoring the winning goal in the final doesn't make one an architect seeing as he was shit for the rest of the tournament. All 3 tournaments in fact. I see that the WC final goal has convinced you he's brilliant. Thankfully I'm not that gullible.

I was asking seriously. I await a serious answer from anyone.

Accept my sincere apologies. i shouldn't have taken the bait

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save by Courtois to deny Benzema.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabi somehow conspires to scuff his shot wide. Great chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-2 Real Madrid, Di Maria!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Raul Garcia off, Adrian on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa booked for diving. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Falcao was clearly onside there, though he did belt the strike over anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 FT. Atleti's woeful run against Marketing goes on.

Hard to see them possibly wining the Copa Del Rey final really.
