Bit of both probably. Barca have looked really good against better opposition though, they dominated Sevilla and Villareal who are both high in the table in Spain. The real test of them will be against Real and in the latter stages of the CL.
Just heard that Almeria had only conceded 10 prior to this match!
Well the other team arent really doing much ie trying to stop Barca...they just look like they want to call it a game and go home.
Barca are beateable...they lost to Hercules earlier this season so its not impossible for teams to beat them.
Cant wait for the El Classico game, think its next weekend Barca vs Real...that game will be a good indicator as to who is the better of the 2 teams.

Mostly how bad ALmeria are, stuck in relegation zone, but not rock bottom and hadn't conceded a huge amount before today.
I dunno, only watched bits but, I think West Ham looked positively world class compared to Almeria to be honest. Barca don't seem to be trying all that much, just really walking past them, though Almeria are unlucky not to have scored one or two, I might have seen the wrong end of a replay but sure they hit the crossbar with a great shot and a couple other chances.
Barca vs Real should be an epic one next week. Last year Barca absolutely outclassed them... I've a feeling it might be tighter this year.
Barca have Messi who makes absolutely everything look completely effortless, it's such a weird thing to watch. He doesn't even look like he's trying.

They have had a few chances and good chances at that...but have been unlucky that they havent scored.
But this just looks like a practice game in all honesty...an absolute thrashing.

Aye, they hit the crossbar but Valdes made it a save.
I remember a couple of really high scoring games last year in the EPL, 7-0, 8-1, 9-1, but at no point were the opposition just crap and the better side walked all over them. Almeria aren't only bad but they're lost too for want of better words..

This year's Classico has the potential to be the best ever, I don't remember a recent game where both sides have been so good.

Messi on 101, such a pity really that he's Argentinian. I don't think he'll ever pick up a WC which really is part of being the all time greatest.
I dont know about that....im sure he can bag a WC if Argentina get their act right and get a decent manager....Maradona as much as i love him, just didnt get it right ie the right balance.
The little guy is amazing though, his record in the La Liga speaks for itself...head and above shoulders compared to everyone else at the moment.
Something like that...i wouldnt be surprised if he bags 50 goals this season...hes on absolute fire at the moment....he has more goals at this point than he did last season

Indeed, and its not just the goals either, 10 assists in 18 games is a pretty healthy return from a player even if he himself isnt scoring goals too, but to get the assists AND the goals. Fantastic.
