La Liga 09/10 Thread

[spurs mental]

It will be a lot closer than last season, that's for sure. Can't wait for it to start.

More from El Sid—makes a very good case for Alonso's importance to the team.

they wont let him leave raul out and it doesnt beat this

valdes

alves cyrrinsky pique puyol

xavi yaya toure iniesta

messi ibra henry



better at the back. now puyol can play lb there is no liabilties at the back. best midield tandem in the world. and messi the worlds best player with 2 other top notch forwards.

it wont even be a contest again. madrid will take too long to gel. pellegrini attacks far too much. diarra is the only one who willtrack back and back 4 is weak


visca el barca i visca catalunya. campion d europa en el bernabeu....

Jesus christ, there's optimism and confidence and then there's this. Arrogance. And on top of this, I believe you're in denial, let's hope the players at Barca don't have this "it wont even be a contest" attitude because they will just get raped. Despite Real maybe not having the balance of Barca's starting XI, they still have Kaka and Ronaldo.

You also say there are no liabilities at the back, that's a claim, especially as Puyol is partial to an error every now and again and Alves sometimes gets caught pushing forward. Pique is good, but still young, lik Pepe, and still learning. Regardless of who wins the title, if it's decided before matchday 37 I'll be surprised.

 

[werty]

Real Madrid 1-1 Deportivo

Raul scored a tap-in after Benzema hit the post. Depor just equalised through a set-piece

 

[kcmei]

2-1 rm

 

[werty]

The winker scored a penalty. Just set up Raul with a great chance but he wasn't expecting it.

 

[raf18]

wtf. why is diarra no.10? lol

i know it means nothing but a bid odd with all these galacticos signing

 

[werty]

Valeron equalised just after half-time for Depor. He must be about 40 now. Was a very good player

EDIT: And Valeron just missed a sitter

 

[don1]

great goal diarra

 

[werty]

Benzema just hit the crossbar with the goal empty

Maybe because he can finish like that...

On a side note, got the best commentary duo ever, a yank and what sounds like a geordie.

 

[mike_l]

benzema is going to be a massive flop.

I'm sure this is based on nothing more than the fact that he plays for Real and not Barca.

 

[werty]

Higuain has just done the worst dive I'm every seen.

no because he was crap last season for lyon.


i have hardly been singing zlatan ibrahimovics praises either.


madrid leaky leaky at the back just as I predicted.

 

[spurs mental]

Did enough to win though. If they win every game like that I'm sure they'll be happy.

He scored 23 goals in 47 games, so the stats don't sound too shabby, how many games did you watch him in to come to the conclusion that he was crap?

Anyway, I reckon Dmytro Chygrynskiy is more likely to be a big money flop, seems like you got arse raped by Shakhtar on that deal.

:bs: :duh:

 

[spursandbarca]

away from home wont win every game like that and depor had numeous chances to equalise.

 

[Goldman]

I thought Benzema had a pretty good game, he was very unlucky not to have 2 goals.

It's the first game of the season, they will likely get better both in defence and attack as the season progresses. If you want to base your predictions for the whole season on this weekends games, Barca are gonna struggle to break teams down and draw every game 0-0 then are they?
