[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 2-3 Barcelona, HT.

[Master Splinter]

Syn :haha:.

[Syn]

I had 5/2 odds on betfair ffs. Wouldn't have put much on anyway though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marica. :doh:

What a chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Castro just puts it wide! Should be 3-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our future striker Marica off, Colunga on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 2-4 Barcelona, Cesc!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Barca. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 2-5 Barcelona, Cesc with his second.

Barca will be Winter Champions as it is known in Spain.

[Syn]

I hate you.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's best that I don't get involved with in-play betting from now on.

[Master Splinter]

Maccy :bow:. Best in the world at what he does.

Syn :haha:. Worst in the world at what he does.

But I'm not in the business of critisising one poster to praise another.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 2-5 Barcelona, FT. Great win for Getafe. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 2-1 Rayo, currently. Going well for a CL place this season.

Speaking of which, Valencia apparently have a new owner that wants to take them back to that level. Playthings. :bow:

Amazing scramble in Rayo's area. :haha:

Valencia 2-2 Real Madrid, Mathieu! :lol:

Great defending.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arbeloa booked for being a scrote.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Lopez nearly gave it away to Jonas but he is too slow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo. :lol:

Only offside by a mile.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Isco off, Jese on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jonas. :doh:

Canales is great.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guaita goes flapping, Jese couldn't get a meaningful shot away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 2-3 Real Madrid, Jese!

Poor from Guaita.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Barca. Messi about to come on too. :lol:

Barca away to Atleti this weekend. :popcorn:

And reveals his Arsenal shirt underneath when he takes his shirt off in celebration.

[Syn]

Reckon Barca will win tonight?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kicked off a minute ago. :popcorn:

And yeah I do think they will but not until Messi and Neymar are on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great run from Arda Turan! Pique had no idea what was going on.

[Master Splinter]

Turan :bow:.

Just shat on them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great passing from Atleti, Diego Costa shot in to the crowd, easy enough for Valdes.

[Master Splinter]

Great stuff from Atletico.

Charging like maniacs.

[Master Splinter]

Iniesta the scrote.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa launches himself. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Pedro, Cesc fucks it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti's pressing not quite so insane now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro shoots, going wide but Courtois saves it anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta down injured.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor decision, David Villa was onside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa shat on Busquets but not Mascherano.

Had a chance there, Pique comes across to block it though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tiago header nearpost, Diego Costa so close to putting it on the far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dani Alves calls Arda Turan a whore. It was a stinker of a challenge though I guess.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro header, over. Good chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

Too slow for games like this as the false 9 tbf.

Pique shoots, Courtois saves. Bit awkward.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Would have been an amazing volley from Xavi, didn't work though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta rolling about often today.

Gabi booked.

[Özim]

£32 million for Costa :scoff:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro been Barca's best attacker tonight by a mile.

Time for Messi tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Second half on now.

Iniesta off, Messi on. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Godin booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi nearly shits on them. Goes past Koke, Courtois saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Valdes, though it was offside anyway. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi pubs a touch, Sanchez was offside anyway though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa with a good chance, strikes it well but only going wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano has no control in what he does. :lol:

Flies in to a challenge, gets whacked in the face by Arda Turan.

[fakeyank]

Should be a red for the cunt. Ref sucking Barca's dick again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The advertising hoardings make it look like the players aren't really there with how it outlines. :lol:

Sanchez off, Neymar on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi header, drifts wide. Good play between he and Cesc.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mascherano as cynical as it gets on Diego Costa, booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc winning some fouls.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi hits the wall. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar. :haha:

What a scrote. Should be booked.

Diego Costa is such a WUM.

David Villa off, Raul Garcia on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Volley from Arda Turan, not enough on it. Valdes saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi shoots, Courtois saves!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro off, Sergi Roberto on.

Tiago off injured, Cristian Rodriguez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi. :bow:

Cesc. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 0-0 Barca, FT. Barca stay top by virtue of GD.

[Master Splinter]

Shame Atletico couldn't eke out a winner.

Come on Espanyol.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Espanyol: Casilla; Colotto, Fuentes, Moreno, Raul; Sanchez, Lopez, Alex; Stuani, Cordoba, Torje.

Real Madrid: Lopez; Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo; Alonso, Modric; Di Maria, Bale, Ronaldo; Benzema.

This is on the red button behind SS1 until 7pm.

[Niall_Quinn]

100% dive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm expecting Modric's strike to come through my window any minute now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casilla saves from Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo freekick, Casilla clears with his feet. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Agent Di Maria. :bow:

Completely spoilt an otherwise great counter-attack.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Espanyol 0-0 Real Madrid, HT.

What a stinker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid, Pepe header.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torje off, Simao on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great run, great control from Ronaldo. Abysmal finish.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale hauled off, Jese on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casilla saves from Ronaldo. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronaldo fluffs another one. What? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OMG Ronaldo. What a miss! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid, FT. Marketing three points behind the big two now.

No goals in two for Ronaldo since Messi returned. :lol:

He really did have a stinker today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Copa Del Rey 2nd legs this week.

Atleti - Valencia tonight.

Villarreal annihilated Real Sociedad 5-1 last night in La Liga. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kicked off a few minutes ago.

Atletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Luis; Sosa, Gabi, Tiago, Turan; Garcia; Diego Costa

Valencia: Guaita; Barragan, R. Costa, Mathieu, Bernat; Fuego, Míchel; Feghouli, Parejo, Fede; Postiga

Sosa goes for ultimate glory on his debut. Didn't work.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 as the second half resumes. It's good to see Atleti having a good season but they can be a bit dull under Simeone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-0 Valencia, Diego Godin!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois with two good saves in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sorry, make that three. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 2-0 Valencia, Raul Garcia! That will be them through now.

Real Betis or Athletic Club next for them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Athletic Club 2-0 Real Betis, Mikel Rico with both.

Osasuna - Real Madrid on in half an hour though that one is probably over with Marketing leading 0-2 from the first leg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osasuna: Fernandez; Oier, Flano, Loties, Oriol; Cejudo, Punal, Loe; De las Cuevas, Acuna, Torres.

Real Madrid: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Coentrao; Alonso, Illarramendi; Jese, Isco, Di Maria; Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osasuna 0-1 Real Madrid, Ronaldo. Fernandez stinker.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osasuna 0-2 Real Madrid, Di Maria.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Morata now has a rather impressive shiner. :lol:

Nearly got knocked out though.

Coentrao was sent off. Taken the night off to get his flight to Manchester perhaps.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/9117782/ronaldo-too-hot-to-handle

:haha:

Getafe - Barcelona tonight at 9pm in the second leg (0-4). Will Messi start? :popcorn:

[GP]

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe: Codina; Alexis, Lopez, Lago, Arroyo; Rodriguez, Lacen; Lafita, Sarabia, Castro; Marica.

Barcelona: Pinto; Alves, Puyol, Bartra, Adriano; Song, Roberto, Fabregas; Messi, Neymar, Tello.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar is dead.

[GP]

Literally?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Close to it.

Sanchez on for Neymar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 0-1 Barcelona, Messi. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 0-2 Barcelona, Messi with his second. :bow:

[GP]

He's back!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Song. :haha:

What a pubber.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a save from Codina to deny Messi his hat-trick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getafe 0-2 Barcelona, FT (0-6 agg). Messi. :bow:

Villarreal 0-1 Real Sociedad from earlier and that was the aggregate score too.

Levante - Barcelona.
Real Sociedad- Racing
Espanyol - Real Madrid
Atletico Madrid - Athletic Club are the quarter-finals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Betis 0-5 Real Madrid, Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema Di Maria and Morata with the goals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante: Navas; Navarro, Juanfran, Karabelas, Vyntra; Lopez, Diop, Simao; El Zhar, Garcia, Ivanschitz.

Barcelona: Valdes; Montoya, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Fabregas, Iniesta, Xavi; Pedro, Messi, Sanchez.

This is on SS2 in a minute.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-0 Barcelona, Vyntra!

I hate the way Rob Palmer can be so shocked a team scores against Barca and Marketing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-1 Barcelona, Pique. What a scuffer. Can there be a scuffed header?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi freekick, wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-1 Barcelona, HT.

Barca. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unbelievable defending and goalkeeping from Levante! Messi and Xavi both denied, Messi twice.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ticki-tacky. :lol:

Shut up Armstrong. Messi denied by Navas again a few minutes ago.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc hauled off, Sergi Roberto on.

Cesc. :lol:

Taken off for a kid.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Valdes.

Pedro off, Tello on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xavi off, Dongou on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Navas off Tello.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The passing from Barca is a bit shit these days.

Four added mins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique tantrum. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT. Messi's dad has ruined them.

Atleti will go clear at the top should they beat Sevilla, which is on next!

Barca. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Barca :haha:.

Messi :lol:. Should have stayed away tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aletico Madrid: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Luis; Gabi, Koke, Garcia; Turan, Costa, Villa,

Sevilla: Beto; Coke, Fazio, Pareja, Navarro; Iborra, Carrico; Rakitic, Vitolo, Moreno; Bacca

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-0 Sevilla, David Villa!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Sevilla! Ridiculous from Juanfran.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-1 Sevilla, Rakitic! :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moreno sent off. :unsure:

Weird. Not much time for Atleti to take advantage though.

[Munchies]

Come on Atleti ffs !!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 FT, Atleti blow the chance to go two points clear and so Barca stay top but only a point ahead of Real Madrid now.

[Munchies]

Think Real will win it, Bale has settled in and they're hitting good form.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I still think Barca will; better defence, basically.

Anyway, Copa Del Rey QF 1st Legs this week.

Espanyol - Real Madrid on at 8pm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Espanyol: Kiko, Raul R, Victor Sanchez, Sidnei, Sergio García, Pizzi, Capdevila, M. Lanza, H. Moreno, Abraham, Torje.

Real Madrid: Casillas, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Modric, Illarra, Di Maria, Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Espanyol 0-1 Real Madrid, Benzema.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not a clue how Espanyol haven't equalised - pinball in Real Madrid's area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 FT, Espanyol have a very slim chance of going through but hardly 'Ammers territory.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca are at Levante again tonight. :lol:

9pm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante: Jimenez; Juanfran, Karabelas, Vyntra, Nagore; El Adoua, Pinto, Xumetra; El Zhar, Barral, Camarasa.

Barcelona: Pinto; Alves, Puyol, Bartra, Adriano; Song, Xavi, S. Roberto; Pedro, Messi, Tello.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-0 Barcelona, El Zhar! :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Nabil :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-0 Barcelona, HT.

Tata. :wave:

[Master Splinter]

WUMger is there :bow:.

Have you spotted him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I haven't. Forgot to watch the half time discussion when they usually point things out like that. Maybe at FT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-1 Barcelona, Juanfran! One of the most hilarous OGs of all time.

Even rivalling Kompany. Well alright, nothing is that funny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-2 Barcelona, Tello! Messi assist. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro off, Sanchez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

El Zhar off, Nong on.

Nong must be who WUMger is there for.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-3 Barcelona, Tello with his second.

Messi assist again.

[Master Splinter]

Nong must be who WUMger is there for.

:pray:

Would be his finest WUM.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante 1-4 Barcelona, Tello hat-trick! Messi with his hat-trick of assists. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Wenget's presence has made Tello brilliant.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And 1-4 FT in the first leg.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sandro Rosell resigns as Barcelona President.

Basically it has been alleged that he misappropriated a lot of the Neymar transfer - Barca paid a lot more than they actually told anyone. :lol:

[GP]

Real/Barca :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Shady fuckers.

[Munchies]

'Barca paid €95m for Neymar, €40m of which straight into the player and his father's business (they owned 70% of the player's contract).'

Bloody hell , that's more or less near what Real paid for Bale.

Barca :lol:

[GP]

Yeah man, Real got ripped off.

[Munchies]

Yeah man, Real got ripped off.

Both are outrageously overpriced but still,

Bale > Neymar

[GP]

:lol:

No

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atletico Madrid 1-0 Athletic Club, Diego Godin.

Diego Costa should be off. What a scrote.

And also, it shows how silly it is getting when Barca will pay that just to be shown that they are keeping up with what Real Madrid are doing. This could all mean the glorious return of Laporta though. :bow:

[Heisenberg]

So, did anyone at Barcelona benefit from saying they spent far less than they claimed the transfer was worth?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not now it has been exposed. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25887952

£34m paid to Neymar's parents?! WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well worth the money. :unsure: And it's no wonder Neymar to Barca was a done deal for so long!

Real Madrid: Lopez; Carvajal, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo; Alonso, Modric; Ronaldo, Di Maria, Bale; Benzema

Granada: Roberto; Nyom, Mainz, Murillo, Angulo; Iturra, Fatau, Recio; Brahimi, El-Arabi, Piti.

0-0 currently, although it only started a few minutes ago.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. :lol:

[GP]

Real/Barca :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale was hauled off for Jese. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 1-0 Granada, Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Madrid 2-0 Granada, Benzema.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osasuna 1-3 Athletic Club, Susaeta and Aduriz with two for Athletic. Armenteros for Osasuna.

Then it is Rayo Vallecano - Atletico Madrid and following that Barcelona - Malaga.

Real Madrid are top as it stands.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osasuna 1-5 Athletic Club, Ibai Gomez and Sola with those goals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 0-1 Atleti, David Villa!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Rayo!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois saves from Viera!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 0-2 Atleti, Arda Turan for a tap-in.

Diego Costa assist for the first, easily opened them up for this one.

Atleti going back ahead of Marketing and Barca it would seem.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa. :haha:

Terrible shot. And injured himself with his pubbery.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa has somehow recovered.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 1-2 Atleti, Viera! Deflects in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 1-3 Atleti, Arda Turan with his second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looking like a dislocated shoulder for Torres. Atleti were hoping to send him out on loan too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 1-4 Atleti, Diego Costa! Ends his scoring drought.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 2-4 Atleti, Larrivey!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa's might be given as an OG actually. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rayo 2-4 Atletico Madrid, FT. Atleti go top.

Barca - Malaga next.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Definite OG for Saul. Diego Costa's goal drought continues.

Definitely pining for The Arsenal tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona: Victor Valdes, Dani Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Xavi, Busquets, Fabregas, Alexis Sanchez, Messi, Pedro.
Subs: Pinto Colorado, Bartra, Afellay, Tello, Adriano, Sergi, Dongou.

Malaga: Caballero, Angeleri, Sergio Sanchez, Flavio, Antunes, Juanmi, Camacho, Tissone, Duda, Perez, Santa Cruz.
Subs: Kameni, Portillo, Morales, Pereira Dos Santos, Pawlowski, Casado Bizcocho, Darder.

Messi going through his own scoring drought, in La Liga that is. Really weird to see him pubbing it on 8 league goals only.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Messi, I want to you're back. The rest of Barca can score OGs tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sanchez clips the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perez booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good covering from Jordi Alba. The rest of Barca's defence were little bit knackered.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cooly done from Dani Valdes says Armstrong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi clears one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Santa Cruz off injured, Pawlowski on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Greedy stuff.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :haha:

Pub team control.

Caballero stops Dani Alves doing anything worthwhile.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro falls down with the goal in front of him. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Lol, Barca are like the chavs in front of goal tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pique booked. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Magnificent dive after very slight touch by pique.

[Niall_Quinn]

Should've scored but straight at Valdez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valdes with an odd reaction save from Pawlowski but it worked.

Duda booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willy denies Jordi Alba.
