Spanish Football 2011-2012

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.

 

[Robert1986]

Anymore rumors on Ashley Cole going to Barca in Jan?

 

[Robert1986]

Who cares? Football is rubbish anyway........

Barca were dreadful last night. Good freekick from Xavi but that was about it.

More and more teams just parking the bus against Barca. No one is having a go at them.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh xaaaaaaaaaaaaviiii eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

 

[Robert1986]

I'd say the only question mark over him remains his ability to spot and sign good talent, and that's more because he hasn't had to do it. Most of the hard work is done for him in regards to signing, and the youth system is all handled by other people too.

Good point but the way Barca is ran I really doubt he gets that much say in who they sign.

Tonights games.

Barcelona V Mallorca La Liga 19:00 Sky Sports 4 / HD4

[Robert1986]

Abidal at CB. No Pique,Puyol,Fab,Iniesta or Xavi.

Teams: Barcelona: Valdés, Alves, Mascherano, Abidal, Adriano, Keita, Sergio, Thiago, Villa, Messi, Cuenc

 

[Robert1986]

Pen for Barca.

Messi to take.

Fantastic pen.

1-0

 

[Robert1986]

Anyone watching the Inter/Juve game? Holy crap. Its been amazing. You don't see this often in Seria A but its been breath taking football. wow.

1-2 to Juve. Almost HT.

 

[Robert1986]

Theres only 1 game worth getting excited about in La Liga to be honest. Think its on dec 9 .

 

[Robert1986]

Real Madrid playing at 11am on sunday.

 

[Robert1986]

Can we really say the goals Barca and Real score are world class when La Liga has some horrible looking defences? Out of posistion, following the ball, not sticking with their marker ect. Not saying they don't score world class goals, but the commentators and pundits cream over anything they do that looks fancy.

Its like watching a whale play around with a seal.

 

[Robert1986]

Messi is the greatest player to ever play the game. Period.

Not untill he has retired can a statement like that be said. We still haven't seen him perform for his country.

Maradona and Pele performed for both club and country...

Saying that, Messi does tear up RM when they play.

 

[Robert1986]

Barca game is on. They were 1-0 for 4 minutes.

Amazing cross from Abidal to Fabregas for the head in to make it 1-1. IF Abidal for that cross alone, please EA.

 

[Robert1986]

Hope Madrid win it this year. All the talk about Barca being leaps and bounds above everyone else is annoying. Plus, still hate them for the CL final.

 

[Robert1986]

Which one?

 

[Robert1986]

Was a good game.

1 Lionel Messi 15
2 Cristiano Ronaldo 14
3 Gonzalo Higuaín 11
4 Roberto Soldado 8
5 Karim Benzema 7

RVP has 13 in arguable the toughest league in Europe. Will see how well he does next season when Real Madrid or Barcelona sign him. RVP staying at Arsenal next season would be career suicide for him. He needs to win something now while he is in his prime. Barcelona could really use another prolific striker as well.

 

[Robert1986]

Tonights games.

Real Madrid V Atletico Madrid La Liga 19:00 Sky Sports 1 / HD1
Getafe V Barcelona (Via Red Button) La Liga 21:00 Sky Sports 1 / HD1

and the midweek game

Barcelona V Rayo Vallecano La Liga 20:15 Sky Sports 2 / HD2

 

[Robert1986]

God i hate the 10pm kick off.

What 10pm kick off? Barca game is 9pm.

I think next season they are going to try and have every second Barca/Real game kick off at around 11am on sunday... its so Asia can watch the games live.

I find it really weird that Spain have this staying up late culture. Most people over there don't go to bed till 1-2am even though they have work at 8-9am.
