I dont think they will in all honesty...they need Barca to slip up as Barca are 2 points ahead now....and i think theres only a few games left this season.
And quite a few teams have managed to beat Real or draw against them...i personally dont think they have the right mix of players and the manager Pellegrini isnt doing a very good job of controlling all those egos....but doesnt matter as hes out of a job come the end of the season even if he wins the La Liga
The problem with Real is not Pelligrini it's Florentino Perez. Too much focus on signing immediate success rather than building a sustainable team
Indeed, you can't just buy for example, 4 world class midfielders, put them next to each other and expect them to play their perfect flowing game.
Real Madrid are a brilliant example of why teamwork > individual superstars.

Not really, their titles rather dwarf the number Barca have had, and honestly Real had a much worse team than Barca when they beat Barca to the title two years on the trot.
Likewise Barca have the better team, yet, without Messi saving an untold number of huge games this year, Barca would be pretty much no where.
An example of a team that proves teamwork > individual stars, would be someone like Birmingham/Everton's/Ipswich in their first season the prem.
Real are FAR more competitive in the league this year after buying a bunch of individual superstars, even though only one of them has been worthwhile, apart from Ronaldo every other player they got has brought entirely nothing to the team.

LOL....ermmm we would still be in with a chance if we had half our team playing ie first teamers that us...funny how some people seem to forget that we are missing our important players.
But i guess its better than being a Wigan fan who yr in and yr out rely on a few lucky results to escape relegation
LOL....funny how some Arsenal fans seem to forget that United started the league without our first choice keeper and then had so many defenders out that we had to start two midfielders and an untried youngster in defence.
Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Ibra, Alves...that's a good squad.
Real have a worse squad on paper! Messi>Ronaldo, Xavi>Kaka, Iniesta>Guti/Van der Vaart/Granero.
wow
What is your vendetta against me again Wigan, always see you come across and snipe for no real reason? So what I dislike Arsenal, never liked them.
Anytime any of the big teams lose your the first to pop in with a troll to tell the world how rubbish a team in the top 4. As regular as clockwork. You troll it's what you do, in sports and consoles mainly. Right now your trolling a PS3 thread even though you have not got one or any interest in one.
Anytime Manu lose your in here, trolling, Arsenal, Chelsea, liverpool trying to get a reaction telling the supporters of the teams how crap their team is. You don't get in the top 4 by being crap or dire.
There was no vendetta against Wigan, in a prediction thread I tipped them to go down and you cried.
If Chelsea win the league you will have a field day saying how washed up united are, if Manu win it, you will have a field day telling chelsea fans how money buys them nothing.
How the hell can arsenal be dire, clearly they are one of the best teams in europe. Sure they can play a dire game, but a dire team? How can anyone be that stupid?

True but its Pellegrini who has to get them to gel together and its obvious that he hasnt been able to...the sad thing is that Real will sack him whether he wins the La Liga or not and get someone else in...personally id give him another yr or so and see what he makes them next yr...my feeling was that this yr was going to be an ok yr for them but couldnt see them winning anything really.
Whereas Barca have had their squad, most of it together for a number of yrs and they dont sack their managers yr in yr out like Real.
I feel sorry for the next manager to go into Real....the pressure of winning things and yet still being sacked at the end of the yr is a scary one.
Wow really??...thats the difference there...yours were at the start of the season whereas ours have come just as we were making a push for the title.
But meh it doesnt really matter as its quite plain to see that our squad with mainly youngsters havent got what it takes to win trophies anymore...something that Wenger needs to fix over the summer but i dont see it happening.

LOL that makes no difference whatsoever.
Yes it does!
You get 6 points per win in the latter half of the season.....
Oh wait

So, Hull are practically relegated.
I wonder what will happen to Bullard. Better than the Championship. Would be a good buy for Newcastle I think.

Back to Wigan
Dude its called banter, I will stop being negative and start being positive
Watched the game, it was dire, for a team that is one of the best teams in Europe, then well, same with the United game, 1st half was dire.
You are looking into it you much, please alert a mod.
