La Liga Jornada 23

Nah, really, do u want to lose against Bayern and concentrate on the league?
Cause if u somehow manage to win that tie, this circus will go on, at least i think it will. And in the second round u will probably get somebody much better than Bayern.

Beckham could be denied a Visa to america and sign a lovely new 4 year contract with madrid alongside emerson's extended deal

That would certainly test your resolve

You're right, I could be a cule.

Brilliant

If by concentrating on the league, you mean concentrate on not finishing fifth, then yes I'm all for it.

Every morning on the day of a match I wake up thinking that the nightmare will end....I'm still waiting...

Please, don't even joke about something like that....

If it means getting rid of Capello & Calderon announcing elections then i for one want us to go out.

Capello, in the post match conference:


¿Le podría mandar un mensaje de ánimo al aficionado madridista?

Esperamos hacer muchas cosas esta temporada.


Would one of those things that he wishes to do happen to be sucking dick every single game we play in the Bernabeu?

For all of my defending of Capello and the need for continuity and for a stop to coaching merry-go-round, I think I've arrived at this place too.

Seriously, its not that u are 15 points behind us. I mean, we are only a little bit better than u this year. Anything can happen, we can have a run of poor results, u can have few wins on the way, and here u are. If we were playing like last year, then fair enough, but we are shit this year, and thats why im still not convinced that we will wi the thing.

I hate to be pessimistic, because I usually hate those sorts, but there is no way we are coming back to win the league. If Barcelona lose it, it will be because Sevilla find their form again or Valencia keep going strong. If you are shit, then we are...oh no, I'm going to start sounding like Iker.

I don't like rvn for obvious reasons but i feel sorry for him at times. He plays up there on his own with the rest of the team further backwards and he hardly recieves a decent cross, pass or even quick support. Real are shambles at the moment, a lot of changes have to take place before they can mount any serious challenge for the title.

Pics from Real vs Betis

Boooooooo!

FT

Zaragoza v Villareal 1-0

I knew Capello would be a suspect appointment as soon as he signed the grandad. Real weren't a quick team anymore anyway but he then goes and signs one of the slowest players in the history of the world aswell.

RVN, Beckham, Raul, Emerson they must ALL be sold or let go this summer and alot of money spent if Real want to return to winning things. They must return to their fast, attacking ways. Seeing RM succumb to this football cancer is quite depressing for the sport as a whole and I'm not even a Real fan.

Robinho should be kept because there is a good player there, he just needs guidance and a kick up the arse, same with Reyes.

At least that's better than following a trend of being shit, then decent, then shit, then average, then shit, then very good, then shit, then decent, then shit, shit, and shitter.

Consistency is what we all aim for

What do expect him to do ? He has 1 chance a game, that's it, you cant expect him to score from the only chance he has. Ruud isn't the one getting booed at

I dont expect him to do much he never has but swap him for etoo, the difference is teams have to play deeper due to his pace, he can create goals, and outside the box he can score try to set someone up or go past someone. ruud it's simple he cant do anything but wait around for a tap in. robinho and co would get more space with a striker who is not him. then add to that he misses great chances now and you think why is he even here.
Anyway there is a thousand problems he is just one
2 games 1 goal la liga is getting like this far to often.

So should Beckham still come back for England?

Yeah but u can't blame him for the team not playing to his strengths. we all know he lacks pace and can't beat a man but he's deadly finisher( one of the best in the world). Capello knew all this nefore buying him, so why not play a system that gets the best out of him instead of leaving isolated for the entire 90 minutes?

The problem is Agooner, that his finishing has been completely overrated for a good few years now. At Man U you could visibly see it, he was starting to miss penalties/one on ones/easy chances weekly.

6 mins into the second half,

(Aduritz) Athletic Bilbao 1 - 0 Getafe

Deportivo La Coruna 0 - 0 Levante

(L.Garcia) Espanyol 1 - 1 Mallorca (Jankovic)

Osasuna 0 - 1 Celta de Vigo (Baiano)

Racing Santander 0 - 0 Gimnastic

(Juanma) Recreativo Huelva 1 - 0 Real Sociedad

Bilbao 2-0 ... Aduritz !

(Scaloni) Racing 1-1 Nastic (Grahn)

So the highlights can now be watched outside of Spain as well. Great!

Suddenly the relegation battle is really hotting up. All sides at the bottom seem in good form, and just like last season it could have a breathtaking finish. If Nastic and Sociedad close the gap it could be even better.

Espanyol 1-1 Mallorca
Depor 0-0 Levante
Recre 1-0 Sociedad
Bilbao 2-0 Getafe
Racing 2-1 Nastic
Osasuna 0-1 Celta

At the moment Sociedad and Nastic continuing to hammer the nails into their respective coffins, while Celta are loosening theirs.

That could be the two of them almost gone now.

I think so. Racing just scored a 3rd too. Unless Sociedad can suddenly find a player to keep them up like Gonzaleze last year, I can't see them gettting enough points to stay up.
