And not a half bad team out either;

Dudek

Arbeloa
Metzelder
Albiol
Drenthe

Van der Vaart
Guti
Diarra
Granero

Raul
Benzema

Go on Alcorcon I say

Pelligrini will be gone by Christmas (and thats if he's lucky enough to last that long)

eZe^

That sounds exactly like a galactico result.

Surely they can.

Nice thread title. Are we allowed to start threads here with the sole purpose of gloating just after a team has been beaten?

It just seems like double standards.

For example, Man Utd were being dubbed 'The Untouchables' last season, until they got trounced 1-4 at home by Liverpool.

Would it have then been ok for me to start a thread, ''Untouchables My Arse!'' and expect it not to be locked?

In fairness, he has a point. I'm sure if Pool for the league me Arse or This will be our year me Arse was to make our ways to liccle monitors, it would go without comment.

Now its been mentioned this thread prolly will get locked. There is something innatly mockable about Real Madrid and their waving money in our faces mentality. So when they get tonked by some nobodies its fun.

I guess the players just simply didn't give a damn about the result.

Not for me and las madridistas it isn't :mad:

The problem surely with buying a team like madrid is that players believe in there own hype and believe all they have to do is turn up to win especially against "lower" teams. It would probably help if the teams got a chance to get to know there manager too before he gets sacked

Hmm sounds oddly familiar

Perhaps I should have been a more choice in my thread title but I don't think its all that bad. It's not a season defining moment for Real, its the Copa Del Ray and they even still have a chance to win that tie.

I do find it incredible that given the amount of talent on the pitch they failed to even score let alone get hammered by 3rd Division opposition. Drenthe - €14m, Van Der Vaart €13m, Albiol €15m, Arbeloa €4m, Diarra £20m, Benzema €35m. Metzelder and Dudek were free transfers whilst Guti, Granero and Raul are homegrown. That's over €100 million worth of players that had their arses handed to them by a 3rd division team in Spain. So tbh Galacticos my arse and I do take a certain satisfaction that a small team like Alcorcon were far from overawed by them.

In the long run it's actually most likely a good thing for Real Madrid as you'd hope this would be the kick up the arse some of those players need.

Alonso missing from the team proves conclusively that him leaving Liverpool was the reason that they went through a poor run of form recently.
