[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 0-1 Marketing, Benzema.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Correa should have made it 1-1.

[GP]

No Bale?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He had been injured, on the bench now. They've looked quite good without him so hope he screws it up when he starts again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres pubs it up but then Sergio Ramos gives away a pelanty on Tiago!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Navas saves from Griezmann. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carvajal off injured, Arbeloa.

Good news for Atleti.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 1-1 Marketing, Vietto!

[Kano]

Vietto equalises.

Simeone goes mental :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And 1-1 is how it finished.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi and his dad will face trial over the tax fraud. :lol:

I think Messi is going for the 'Arry defence of being an unabashed idiot.

[Niall_Quinn]

Messi and his dad will face trial over the tax fraud. :lol:

I think Messi is going for the 'Arry defence of being an unabashed idiot.

I know tax is theft and all, but when you have so much money why not just pay off the government goons? He's going to have to turf over a fortune now plus bung the judges, it's going to end up even more expensive.

[Marc Overmars]

Lock him up!

[Niall_Quinn]

Lock him up!

Not a chance.

[Kano]

Messi is definitely not going to jail, he was cleared by a judge late last week. His father on the other hand, looks pretty fucked.

[Marc Overmars]

Ronaldo became Madrid's all time leading scorer last night. 324 goals in 310 games. :wacko:

Raul took 741 games to reach his tally.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Las Palmas just got thumped 4-0 by Getafe away.

Las Palmas have a player called Aleman. :haha:

[GP]

Ronaldo became Madrid's all time leading scorer last night. 324 goals in 310 games. :wacko:

Raul took 741 games to reach his tally.

Imagine putting us those figures and STILL not being the best player of your generation :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

It's going to be weird when he and Messi hang up their boots.

[AFC Leveller]

Imagine putting us those figures and STILL not being the best player of your generation :lol:

thats actually funny :lol:

[Kano]

Relegation should be issued at the minimum.

[Niall_Quinn]

Relegation should be issued at the minimum.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/oct/22/real-madrid-barcelona-linesman-clasico-match-fixing

Officials cheating for Marketing? All you have to do is watch their games. Why is this even news?


Barcelona say they ‘hope it does not prove to be true’

Probably because they already bid and thought they had an agreement.

We even saw it with Bayern on Tuesday. The ref wasn't as awful as some but Marketing, Barca and now Bayern are shown clear favouritism by match officials and it has been going on for years in the case of the Spanish clubs.

Luckily this sort of stuff would never happen in England. (I bet some journo writes that in the course of this story being buried playing out.)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcelona 3-0 Villarreal, FT.

Neymar with two, Suarez with the other.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sevilla 3-2 Marketing, FT!

:haha:

Barca top going in to El Clasico.

[GP]

Moyes sacked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moyes for Chelsea.

:bow:

[Munchies]

Gary Neville the new Valencia manager

I guess his Sky role will end.

[GP]

What??
What a bizarre choice.

[Marc Overmars]

:blink:

The owner of Valencia also owns Salford City, so I guess that explains why he's got the job.

[Kano]

Phil :lol: always the bride

[Niall_Quinn]

Gary Neville the new Valencia manager

I guess his Sky role will end.

???????

Seriously?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pace and power on its way to La Liga. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cadiz 1-3 Marketing in the Copa Del Rey...but...

Marketing fielded an inegible player (was supposed to be suspended).

They're now facing being booted out of the competition. :haha:

[IBK]

Gary Neville the new Valencia manager

I guess his Sky role will end.

Anyone else think that this is a rather sad indictment on the overall strength of La Liga? Wasn't Valencia the third team in Spain not so long ago?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If it's an indictment, it's surely more on owners. Clearly Gary Neville is only going to be there at the behest of Peter Lim, given he and Neville are both involved with Salford City.

Valencia aren't the third team anymore, that's evidently been Atleti most recently but they aren't that far off.

[Munchies]

Just saw the Copa Del Rey stuff

Real Madrid :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yup, they've been booted out. :haha:

Messi should have scored.

Suarez screws up two chances in a row.

Messi. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nasty one from Messi, avoids getting booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia 0-1 Barcelona, Suarez!

What a finish.

Messi assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jordi Alba with some stupid defending.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great run from Neymar but puts it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for De Paul, tame shot for Bravo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi's effort from the freekick, saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eibar 1-1 Valencia, FT.

Junca OG for Valencia.

Neville. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jonathan smacks the post for Villarreal at home to Marketing!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Atleti 2-1 Athletic Club is a result from earlier. Laporte scored first; Saul and Griezmann for Atleti.

They are now level on points with Barca. Simeone is ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villarreal 1-0 Marketing, GOALDADO!!!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor Rayo. :haha:

[Kano]

La Liga :lol:

[GP]

What a ridiculous, pointless league.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why don't they send off more playa - then it can be 20-2

Send off ALL playa and it can be 100-2

Throw more footballs on the pitch, let the Marketing fans play, get one of those machines to fire footballs into the Rayo net.

This proves what a great manager Fat Rafa is.

[Marc Overmars]

:blink:

[Letters]

What a ridiculous, pointless league.

I bet Zim thinks it's amazeballs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barca v Real Betis...

Messi gets cleaned out by the keeper but the keeper clearly punched the ball before that.

End result? Pelanty. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar slips and hits the bar!

:haha:

Sadly it goes in anyway from an OG. That is ridiculous.

1-0 to Barca.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

His 500th appearance today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 HT.

Real Betis were screwed over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kevin Keatings getting carried away saying Neymar scored in this game. No he didn't, he hit the bar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neymar hits the post! :haha:

Adan saves from Messi.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi hits the bar now and Barca hit the bar before then also. :lol:

Pelanty to Valencia!

It has been coming.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale dive earlier. :haha:

Valencia 1-1 Marketing, Parejo!!

Rafa. :haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Surely this has to be the last season that Real persist with the liability Pepe?


Wouldn't be surprised if they put in a bid for Kos this summer .... hopefully Wenger & Gazidis tell them to fuck off, if it happens.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who'd have the guts to tell him he is being sold?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Last time Ronaldo will let Bale take a free kick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema hauled off, Lucas on.

Isco and James. :lol:

Time to come home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocking dive from Ronaldo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[GP]

Isco and James didn't even get on the pitch. :haha:

Sign them up!

[Marc Overmars]

Why did they even bother with Rafa? It was always going to end in tears.

[GP]

Why do Madrid do anything?

Circus club.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Real call an emergency board meeting to discuss Rafa's future. Rumours are that Zidane is lined up to take over.

Who could have ever seen this coming in the summer? :rolleyes:

Joke club.

Cheeky bid for James and Isco please.

[Kano]

Yep, he's gone :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rafa. :haha:

Another successful stint. Where does he go next?

Also, yes Zidane has taken over. When that one ends in tears too, wonder how the fans will react...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Well Tranmere are still a bit shit...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Are they still a thing?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Keylor Navas to deny Lucas!

Lucas has been great this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marketing 1-0 Deportivo, Benzema flicks one in.

Thought he was miles offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Benzema wasn't but Bale obviously was.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0, Bale with his second.
