villan83 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Yeah that was funny in midweek! Pelligrini could be on his way out (Real in coach sacking shock horror!) Backing Valencia this weekend, see if Pablo Hernandez can score form 45 yards again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Has anyone been over to Sevilla to see a game? My brothers and I have been to Barca v Valencia, Madrid v Barca, and went to Valencia but no game on. Next on my list is Sevilla v Real Betis!

coda Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 El Clásico is back. Barcelona v Real Madrid, Sunday 18:00. Ronaldo has recovered but Messi may miss the game. I hope Barca stuff them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_Simon Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I have the San Miguel in the fridge. Will prepare some tapas for the evening. I love el clasico. Barca all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1986 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Think it will be the time for Ronaldo to show that he is overall a better player than Messi, (if they both play that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Both arent 100% fit so not the best game to judge both even if Messi is a lot better. As for the game ususally enjoy as a neutral but if a certain French striker plays for Barca i will cheer for Real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 messi and ibra are likely to be out, i'll only believe ronaldo is better if he takes an absolute kicking from barca in his stride without diving or moaning and then winning the game for his team, in other words what messi and ronaldinho have done in the past messi vs madrid last year was mad, they battered him (something like 8 different RM players had fouled him in the 1st 10 mins) and he just got up and got on with it, it was amazing to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I reckon Messi and Zlatan will be fit. They were both on the bench Tuesday so should have got enough fitness/rest by Sunday. I reckon Barca will destroy them, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Barca fans around me were incensed after 10 minutes! I guess its similar to us playing Blues and the cretinous sloths of SHA battering Gabby, one of our own, all match. (not that it would happen now that gabby is a man-beast!) I think this is a different Real team this year however. They have improved their technical ability, and although not as free flowing as barca, do have players who dont need to resort to intimidation and rough tackling. Heart says Barca 3-0 Madrid, head thinks however 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted December 2, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2009 Las Palmas & Rayo Vallecano (possibly) being naughty Las Palmas and Rayo Vallecano face betting probe Spanish second division clubs Las Palmas and Rayo Vallecano, plus seven professional footballers, are to be investigated over betting on matches. The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) will conduct the inquiry after a tip-off from European governing body Uefa. Las Palmas listed the names of the players - none of whom are in their squad - in a statement on its website. In November, Uefa named five clubs that it wanted to investigate following allegations of match-fixing. The clubs are KF Tirana and KS Vllaznia of Albania, FC Dinaburg of Latvia, NK IB Ljubljana of Slovenia and Budapest Honved of Hungary. The five were involved in seven games, one Champions League qualifier and six Europa League qualifiers, between 16 July and 6 August 2009. No matches involving British clubs are under scrutiny. The seven games have been whittled down from the 40 that Uefa said in September it was investigating. European football's governing body is also looking into the roles of three referees and one other official. Also last month, German prosecutors revealed they were probing possible match-fixing at about 200 games, which included Uefa's original 40, played in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Croatia, Slovenia, Turkey, Hungary, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Austria. Thirty-two matches in Germany are under suspicion. Uefa has met with the national football associations of Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, Switzerland and Turkey to discuss the matches under investigation.

leviramsey Posted December 3, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted December 3, 2009 You know, I'm beginning to think that all these betting scandals involving lower-level clubs might just be the pretext needed for the bigger clubs to wall themselves off... For instance, the CL implementing a rule requiring that any club participating in the qualifying tournament must have either made the previous year's CL group stage or paid their 25 most highly paid players at least 25 million euro in wages (since the cases of players throwing games for a few thousand euro have not been on large wages).

Mr_Dogg Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Barcelona beat Xerez 2-0 tonight in a fixture rearranged because of the World Club Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sled Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 While in the 2nd Division Betis won a re-arranged fixture and moved into 4th place. I mention this because only a fortnight ago the natives were getting so restless that there was aggro at a training session. Now they'll no doubt be telling the world "We are the people" louder than anyone else. Betis seem to have a hardcore of loafers and layabouts who go to every single training session and slag off the players every time everything isn't quite ticketyboo. They should be made to buy computers and form a site called BetisTalk instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
