Higuain looks is SERIOUSLY good form this season, I saw him get a great hattrick for Madrid a few weeks back and then watched him playing for Argentina against Chile the other day (had a bet on it).

Very clinical, I think this could be a real breakthrough season for him.

Shame he missed most of last season. I still think RM need another striker. I could see see either Tevez or Drogba going there in jan.

Higuain and a Ronaldo hat-trick destroyed the new rich kids on the block. His third was lulzy.

Ronny karate kicked his third goal. Was pretty funny.

Kinda weird they didn't score any in the second half.

Barca held 0-0 at HT.

btw, whats up with David Villa's hair? Looks like he doesn't care anymore.

First goal was kinda lol though with two RM players so far offside they were practically in Portugal... it got me thinking about the whole 'interfering with play' thing, I know it is hard to interpret but (bear in mind I haven't fully thought this through) how about saying if you are inside the penalty box then you are considered to always be interfering with play?

He's been angling for a move to City for ages. Going on about how Aguero made the right choice, we're a great club, etc etc. It's almost a bit sad!

I would like to see that quote. I bet half of Spain hadnt even heard of citeh until last year!

Messi missed pen! 90th min

Somnambulist · 22 Oct 2011 at 22:52

HAHAHA, gutted Barca. 0-0 after Messi has a penalty saved, last kick of the game. Think Madrid have got what it takes to win the league over them this year.

Andybtsn · 22 Oct 2011 at 22:54

Sendings off galore.

Nah Madrid too petulant and immature. Barce will win it.

HangTime · 22 Oct 2011 at 22:56

Literally the worst top flgiht performance I've ever seen from a player in Kanoute tonight - came on as sub and was incredibly laboured, never once got out of 2nd gear, then he gets himself sent off.

This only happens when they play Barca really. If they can put in a few more average performances and drop points then who knows.

There was a hint of dive for that penalty call in my opinion.. Iniesta defo took full advantage of the situation.

Anyway Messi fails to put it away

Not really, look at their games this season, they get sending offs like there's no tomorrow.

Madrid do have discipline problems (pick up a lot of cards) but I reckon with the lack of defenders Barcelona have Madrid might win la liga anyway.. Madrid have far more depth than Barcelona so can cope with injuries better than Barcelona (defenders especially).

This. The money wasted on Fabregas should've been spent on defensive cover for Puyol and Pique.

Robert1986 · 23 Oct 2011 at 13:22

Anymore rumors on Ashley Cole going to Barca in Jan?

Scratchy · 23 Oct 2011 at 18:26

Accusing players of racism seems all the rage atm.

Especially when they had Thiago already looking amazing. I dont think Barca trust Pep to buy a defender though

23m on Chyrgeneski and sold him a season later for 12m.
