[Marc Overmars]

ITV have picked up the rights for La Liga until the end of the season.

At least it’s on a relevant platform now rather than that weird Eleven Sports shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thank fuck for that, I haven't watched any live football from La Liga this season so far.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I thought Premier Sports had the rights to la liga

[GP]

Is it not on Setanta Sports?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's Premier but very few have bought it. :lol:

Sevilla 1-1 Barcelona, Jesus Navas and then Messi.

Ridiculous volley from Messi. :bow:

[GP]

Messi is a freak.

Ronaldo must hate his guts.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Not as much as I hate Letters

[GP]

Goes without saying.

[Marc Overmars]

Messi is an unbelievable footballer.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Really good game this, Levante v Madrid. 1-1. Benzema pel in the first half after a correct VAR call, but Levante have just equalised.

Levante have been fantastic.

ITV4 :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

2-1 Bayul pel.

Didn't seem like one to me. Casemiro with the ol' Busquets eyes on the floor as well.

And that's how it ends. A couple of red cards before the end. One for a Levante sub, the other for Nacho Man.

100x as entertaining as anything on Sky today :lol:

[Letters]

Not as much as I hate Letters

Oh, I DO hope I can find your Arsenal Membership cards and haven't lost them.

La Liga this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marketing 0-1 Barcelona, Rakitic!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

So it seems Mourinho is the favourite to return to Madrid.... didn't that just break him mentally the last time?

[Marc Overmars]

Hope he goes back.

Just to see the chaos that would ensue.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-1 Rayo, De Tomas and Pique.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-1 Rayo, Messi pelanty! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca 3-1 Rayo, Suarez.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

So it seems Mourinho is the favourite to return to Madrid.... didn't that just break him mentally the last time?Now it looks like it will be Zidane after all.

Going to be hard for him to top his first stint, but he's played a blinder there. Left because he wanted a clear out, absolves himself for this season, will get his clear out in the summer and probably a pay rise to save the day.

[SMatthews]

He’d be mad to stick it out there any longer than this season. After winning 3 CL’s in a row, the only way is down from there. A league title or two won’t cut it. And there’s no Ronaldo-type replacement that will keep dragging them along either.

[GP]

https://www.realmadrid.com/noticias/2019/03/comunicado-oficial

[Marc Overmars]

It's not even an interim appointment, he's on a 3 year contract. :blink:

Why even leave in the first place if he didn't have plans on challenging himself elsewhere?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marketing won 2-0 against Celta Vigo at home in his return. Bale and Isco with the goals.

I can only presume he was begged and pleaded with by Perez - he always goes back to what he knows has worked in the past. Thus I can only imagine they'll go bonkers transfer wise in the summer again.

Real Betis v Barcelona on ITV4 at 19:45.

This match tends to be a goalfest.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ITV4's programme is on now. Barca will just be the 10 points clear if they win.

Real Betis: Lopez; Joaquin, Mandi, Bartram Sidnei; Tello, Carvalho, Guardado, Canales, Lo Celso; Jese

Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Lenglet, Alba, Vidal, Busquets, Arthur, Rakitic, Suarez, Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Betis 0-1 Barcelona, Messi belts in a freekick! :bow:

Phenomenal freekick, goalkeeper's side but right in the corner!

[Globalgunner]

Phenomenal talent

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another freekick from Messi but saved this time.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

2-0 Messi. :lol:

What a goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Betis 0-2 Barcelona, MESSI!!!

Stunning play between he and Suarez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And 0-2 HT.

[Globalgunner]

There are no words. Suarez on his own has lost about 20% of his edge in front of goal but he is still an assist master

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Canales :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Canales. :haha:

WTF was that finish?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't know how Suarez didn't carve up a chance there.

Mendieta sounds like he is doing director's commentary.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez misses another one!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh my god.

3-0 Suarez. What a goal.

How the fuck did Suarez score that, after missing the others?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Betis 0-3 Barcelona, Suarez. Fantastic goal this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd have a bit of an issue containing this. :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Man Utd have a bit of an issue containing this. :lol:

We're Man United. The players play for Man United. In front of the Stretford End. It's what we do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Semedo booked for diving. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tollund Man Joaquin off, Emerson on.

Lo Celso off, Lainez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're Man United. The players play for Man United. In front of the Stretford End. It's what we do.

The boys know what's it all about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

William Carvalho off to get ready for his inevitabe transfer links with us, someone else on.

Loved him sprinting off the pitch though. I think he needed a shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Real Betis 1-3 Barcelona, Loren combs it in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did the commentator say Abidal? :unsure:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Barca. :haha:

Chewy. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It ended 4-4 :haha:

Messi with another free kick in the 90th, then Suarez in the 94th.

[Marc Overmars]

His free kicks are absolutely unreal. :bow:

What a complete freak of a player. Definitely another Ballon d'Or or 2 waiting for him before he calls it a day.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca cannot rest Messi if they hope to win matches.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 0-0 Atleti currently.

Diego Costa sent off. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 2-0 Atleti, Suarez curls it in off the post from distance, Messi scores a minute later.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa banned for eight games after insulting the ref's mum.

:lol:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47891377

[GP]

His mum is a slag, to be fair.

[dazthegooner]

It's taken his mum a while but she is nearly finished counting the men she thinks COULD have been the father...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho hauled off for Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Levante, MESSI!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How hasn't Morales scored?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful pass from Lenglet.

Freekick to Levante.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi shot, deflects just wide but no corner given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Levante hit the post! How hasn't it gone in? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 1-0 Levante, FT!

Barca win La Liga again.

The 10th time for Messi which is more than Xavi and Iniesta. :lol:
