Cant wait to watch Atletico-Real tonight,its gonna be great:D

eZe^ · 18-10-2008 4:06pm

Atletico to break their 10 year duck against Real? After being annihilated by Barca 2 weeks ago they'll want to show the doubters that they are still title contenders. Who better than their bitter rivals from across the street? :pac:

delija_sever029 · 18-10-2008 5:45pm

I would like so much to see Atletico winning tonight

eZe^ · 18-10-2008 7:03pm

Oh Atletico... 1-0 down already... HAHAHAHAHAH 3 minutes and, Real are trying to beat the 6-1 Barca got 2 weeks ago.. ;P

Van Nistelrooy has arguably been better for Madrid than he ever was for United. That's another goal from outside the area... Amazing goal scorer.

Peyton Manning · 18-10-2008 7:15pm

Goal after 40 seconds for Ruud. Atletico really are horrible against the bigger teams.

eZe^ · 18-10-2008 7:23pm

Perfectly good goal disallowed by Ruud, should have been 2-0.

44 goals in 66 league games, what a record.

eZe^ · 18-10-2008 7:32pm

Another perfectly good goal disallowed by Raul. Perea gets a red so basically it's game over. Fu*k sake, and I thought Atletico would pull themselves together.

Edit - The silliest red ever, it was maybe a yellow, Nistelrooy off now. 10 v 10.

redout · 18-10-2008 8:21pm

Kun Aguero to score a hat-trick !!!! Then to stick it to Liverpool on Wednesday.

Are you taking the piss ? 150 goals in just over 200 games for Man Utd.

Most of his goals for Man Utd came inside the 6 yard box.
He is a much more complete striker now ,he is scoring alot of goals from distance something he rarely did at Utd.

eZe^ · 18-10-2008 8:55pm

SIMAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

redout · 18-10-2008 8:56pm

Where did they get 6 mins ?

eZe^ · 18-10-2008 8:57pm

Oh f*ck that.............

Penalty....

God I hate them and their last minute winners.

redout · 18-10-2008 8:57pm

Real are favoured by Spanish hierarchy ask most spaniards. Peno my arse

It was a penalty to be fair. It's just Heitinga shouldn't have made such a retarded challenge.

I wasn't aware you weren't allowed to admit that a rival team has some good players. Cheers for letting me know that. Zidane was utter sh*te.

bUILDERtHEbOB · 18-10-2008 9:03pm

Completely forgot about the match, only caught the last 20 minutes. An epic ending though.

redout · 18-10-2008 9:04pm

Yeah I agree it was a peno be were did they get 6mins injury time. I bet if Atletico did not score in the last minute that it was only gonna be like 3min.

Players of my biggest rival club are always sh!te;)

If anyone's interested Valencia play Numancia in 15 minutes. And seeing as David Villa is the most deadly striker in the world at the moment (bar none) you can expect goals.

Anyone else think that the way fixtures in La Liga have been set up this year is bordering on absolutely ridiculous? Within 6 or 7 match days, Numancia have had to play;

Barcelona
Real Madrid
Villareal
Valencia

Thats 4 of the big 6.

eZe^ · 19-10-2008 4:08pm

Oh how I love being right, that's something like 13 in 14 for club and country so far this year for Villa.

redout · 19-10-2008 4:11pm

In all honesty Villa talent is wasted at Valencia. He needs to do a Torres a move to a big club to realise his real potential.

If Barca and Madrid keep leaking goals like they have been so far Valencia have an excellent shot at the title. Their team is excellent.

redout · 19-10-2008 4:16pm

I am not to sure. Valencia last season in la liga had very inconsistent form. Interesting to see if they can maintain this current momentum. As for La Liga I think proper order will be restored this season and Barca will be champions. Barca's biggest problem imo is Valdes is to unreliable and te defence can be shakey at times. The signing of Alves does not seem to have sorted that problem.

Balls. Real had a goal ruled out and a player wrongly sent off. The peno was a peno. Also, I'm pretty sure the six minutes was given because the ref got injured (didn't catch the entire match so I don't know what happened).

I caught the Espanyol Villareal match as well last night. It was a pretty poor match. Only a great penalty save to watch out for really.

eZe^ · 19-10-2008 4:20pm

Villa with a perfectly good goal ruled out. He's proving why he's better than Torres this year for sure.

Valencia last year were in massive turmoil behind the scenes, and sacked a perfectly good manager (Flores) because they were in 2nd place, they got what they deserved, they'll be more like the team the year before. Barca are always shakey in defense, and always will be, the important think is that they have that winning mentality restored!

Pal I live in Madrid the past three years and that is the honest to god general sentiment. Real are favoured, going all the way back to General Franco. Ask the Spaniards. As for then peno if you had of read on I admitted that it was a peno but 6min injury time came from where exactly ? I watched it and was in disbelief when they put up 6.

Well, they did get the King of Spain to squash some of their debts when they lavishly spent one summer!

redout · 19-10-2008 4:27pm

Spot on. The Comunidad de Madrid also bought the land by the airport and built them a brand new state of the art training complex at no cost to Real ? Which was a saving of tens of millions.

eZe^ · 19-10-2008 4:30pm

Ah, the Ciudad Real Madrid at Valdebebas, the place that so far has only cost 80 million euros or something! C*nts... :pac:

Sorry, I won't argue about the past. I don't know about it.

I was a bit surprised you were bringing that up when I felt that Real could have felt a bit hard done because of the disallowed goal and RVN's sending off.

eZe^ · 19-10-2008 4:42pm

Josep Sunyol is the one who should feel hard done by, murdered by Franco's goons because of his ties with Catalan nationalism and Barcelona....

eZe^ · 19-10-2008 8:30pm

Lovely display from Barca, solid defensively, worked hard, scored one brilliant goal, and didn't need the help of Messi. That 7 wins in a row, hopefully we can put the sort of unbeaten run we put together back in 05.

gimmick · 20-10-2008 10:41am

Eto'os goal last night was a screamer. Did not see much of the game, but it looked like a hard fought victory. It is certainly the type of game Barca would have lost last season.

Yeah, they looked very solid and rarely troubled by Bilbao. Great finish by Eto'o.. Great to see him banging them in again, though, he did miss a sitter near the end to seal the game.
