La Liga - Week 29

Liam O

if it stays like this I'm gonna win a bit of money. I usually bet on Atletico games as they are my favourite team in Spain but I never did this week and when they scored i went onto PP and they were still 3/1 to win. Doubt it'll happen but I put €20 on it.

That Ronaldo chance was huge, 1-0 at half time gives us a great chance. Had Ronaldo finished that, I think Real would have won easily enough.

Been impressed with de Gea once again, he looks so composed for a 19yo.

eZe^

Ronaldo has been shocking so far this game. That means he'll score a hattrick in the next 45 minutes. Put money on it.

kinaldo

I suppose a draw wouldn't be the end of the world.

What...:eek:

They are one of the most inconsistent/ unpredictable teams around.

Is Richard Kaka injured?

Agreed. Betting on Atletico is mental. I don't know why i do it.

:pac:

Think he was dropped for Christopher Ronaldo and George Higuain.

Apparently so, but he has also been spotted filming a commercial in the bernabeu where he's been seen running around. So there's apparently something fishy going on at the Bobby Brown...

redout

I saw a vid of the adidas ad he was filming and he was actually sprinting.

Thats what pissed of the Madrid mob.

because it's great fun I really like Atletico because you never know what you're gonna get, they are perennial underachievers but play great football. Shame about this link with Liverpool they seem to have

Lol at Ronaldo changing his boots, that can't be good publicity for Nike, actually it's just making everyone focus on his boots so i suppose it is...

Liam O

crap

Raskolnikov

Have to say Alonso took his goal well. Probably one of the most underrated and least talked about players in La Liga.

redout

Game over

Arbeloa shouldnt be scoring goals like that.

Bukman13

What a Fcuking pass... World Class.

Bodhisopha

He learned that in Liverpool.

kryogen

score lads? cant check anything at the mo!

Raskolnikov

Game is certainly not over with Aguero playing and the Real defence being crap.

2-1 real. Alonso got real back into the game.

JPA

Mr.Nice Guy

Mr.Nice Guy

Game over now.

Podge2k7

3-1, Higuain

Raskolnikov

Higuain redeems himself after a few sitters.

3-1.

Bukman13

Shambolic defending from Atleti.

redout

Alonso should be off

Goal........

3 - 2

Forlan (peno)

Still reckon Real win

Bukman13

peno.... get in

Podge2k7

3-2, Forlan peno.

Raskolnikov

3-2

Comical defending once again.

Mr.Nice Guy

What was Alonso thinking there?

Bukman13

Thats Forlan's 117th goal in La Liga, he is now joint 42nd all time with Ronaldo (Brazilian one obviously)

Raskolnikov

I backed Atletico to win this at 490/1 while 3-1 down, come on the come back!

How can you say game over when it's Atleti playing and there are only 2 goals in it!?

Foolish.

My 3-2 prediction is looking good!

Headshot

redout

Goal attempts

Well I wasn't expecting Alonso to do his Thierry Henry impression but yeah you're right it's still all to play for.

Kristopherus

Another sitter missed

Ush1

Is this for real? How has Alonso not been sent off. He got a yellow there and no yellow for a deliberate hand ball?

kinaldo

¡¡HALA MADRID!!

A Dub in Glasgo

Pretty dreadful defending from Atletico

He has been absolute muck for Real all season really. My Real Madrid actually thinks he's been the most disappointing of all the Galactico signings. It's because Real play at such a fantastic pace and the ball gets moved from defense to attack so quickly that plays bypass him. I think he's been incredibly meh this season, sure he hasn't made mistakes, but he isn't used enough to make any sort of an impact on games at all really.


Real really do have 'you score 3 we'll score 4' kind of attitude with this team. So many good attackers. I know that to win a league you have to do all the work yourself, but ffs Atleti, you're a big club, have a good history, and always peform against us (at the Vicente Calderon anyway). Throw us a bone sometime and take points off Real...

Just be thankful that we're not from the muddy banks of the Manzanares

Less of your smelly Madrid talk. I mean every season we have Espanyol who want to taste Barca blood when we play them, Atletico own us at the Vicente Calderon and consistently deliver Real 6 points every season. Next year will be the one... They'll do the double over yous.

Despite that, Atleti always scare me.

I'll go for 3-2 los Blancos.

If only I were a betting man...

Pfft. When they did lose 0-6 to you at the Calderon you still couldn't win the league.

However when we beat yer lot 6-2 at the Bobby Brown we do. Every cloud...

bernardo mac

Ronaldo's value to Madrid,particularly as a team player,will be reassessed.IMHO the team would benefit more from his passing to teamates.Otherwise he is likely to become a spent force prematurely

Swings and roundabouts though. You beat us 5-0 in '94, we beat you 5-0 in '95...

That was because you bought Laudrup off us the summer of 94, thankfully our best player last year, Messi, is still with us, so the inevitable repeat 6-2 will once again be in favour of the blaugrana.
