La Liga Jornada 1

Don't want to celebrate too much, but this will suffice for now:

Lasted a bit longer than Barca, but thanks to pinhead giving away stupid free kick then free header, we get what we all expected.

Well we have 3 points more than expected over Barca anyway.

Fucking Robben won't use his right foot. He's almost as one-footed as Messi if not worse

We've been the better team this half though. We don't deserve to be losing.

Fucking Robben. (Full stop. Always has been)

For me Madrid's biggest problem has been the midfield playing too deep thereby leaving the strikers/forwards Isolated(Raul has hardly touched the ball). Guti has rarely crossed the half way line and has spent much of the half defending than attacking.

Pepe

Guardado

I think we did quite well in the first half. Marcelo bombing down the left has been a welcome addition to the team, so we don't rely on Ramos doing everything on the right.

Raul, Higuain, RVN, and Robben have all been disappointing. Pepe has played very well besides for that idiotic foul

Great game by Guti so far. His delivery has even been consistent in set-pieces.

The problem is that Diarra can't bring the ball out if his life depended on it, so Guti is always forced to go back to get the ball out. Without Gago, VDV or De la Red in the field, once again all creative duties have been left to Guti.

Guti's passing has been great so far though. He's made 2-3 defense-splitting passes and has hardly lost the ball.

And my FFS team is based on a Barcelona attack and Madrid defense

Equaliser...

Very quiet from Barca side...

Who else!?!

The next will be the help of the refs?

We have our own problems.

NO it was the help from Pepe, again.

So I guess it will be 2-3, with a dodgy penalty and an offside goal?

They need Drenthe on the field.

Robben tried, but the ref didn't give it.

Unlucky! He should keep on trying, the ref will end up giving one!

What's Higuain done to his hair? Didn't he use to have a fro'?

No doubt Robben will keep trying, it's in his blood as much as getting injured.

He started sharing the same hair dresser as Mijatovic last season.

Depor

f@ck off Madriz

Still doesn't change the fact that we lost to a team we really should have beaten whereas Madriz always has problems at the Riazor.

You didn't check history of Barcelona games in Numancia . But still it was a must-win game for Barcelona.

That's true.

I wish we had started in the Calderón.. then we would have lost as always, and the players would still have gotten the wake up call.

I take it you can now see the beginning of the brilliant plan!

Tempting fate there EMP... you just know it is going to end in tears

Did Llorente or Aduriz play for Bilbao?

Shame they lost otherwise ruined a perfectly good weekend of football for me

All the more reason to enjoy it now and take any success as welcome bonus ... and it is a brilliant plan damnit!

I was tempted to post the league tables and tell Villar to end the season now or he won't get his suitcase - we couldn't afford it last year so the bastard inflicted Koeman and Soler on us. A clear case of cruel and unusual punishment if ever there was one.
