HalloweenJack

Athletic 1-0 Almería, 13/11, 5pm
Atlético vs. Osasuna, 13/11, 7pm (Sky1)
Barcelona vs. Villarreal, 13/11, 9pm (Sky1)
Mallorca vs. Deportivo, 14/11, 4pm
Malaga vs. Levante, 14/11, 4pm
Racing vs. Espanyol, 14/11, 4pm
Hércules vs. R. Sociedad, 14/11, 4pm
Zaragoza vs. Sevilla, 14/11, 4pm
Sporting vs. Real Madrid, 14/11, 6pm (Sky1)
Valencia vs. Getafe, 14/11, 8pm (Sky1)

Athletic up to eighth after their win over Almería earlier on, Llorente again.

Atleti 1-0 up against Osasuna , Forlán's got his first in can't remember how many games. Looking good for Atleti too. 2-0 now, Forlán crossed for Kun.

The Malaga match will be interesting, Pellegrini has had a full week with the squad now and they have a very winnable game (home vs. Levante).

Of course, game of the week is Barca-Villarreal. Champions vs. surprise package. Arguably, Villarreal's second real test (after beating Atleti). I see Barca winning 2 or 3-0.

Valencia should get back on track against Getafe. And who knows with Sporting against Real. They already beat Sevilla at El Molinon this year.

Nice scenes there, before the game, of the Barca and Villareal players in the tunnel. All very friendly, hugs, handshakes and slaps on the back. Marchena seems very popular.

JPA

Villa, 1 nil.


Anyone have a top notch stream BTW? In English if possible.

Nilmar equalizes.

This is probably the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen. He has absolutely zero control of the game.

How he can say that wasn't a red, I'll never know.

It's unbelievable. He obviously knows he fcked up for the disallowed goal and is now trying to balance things out.

So he should, Pedro's goal was an atrocious game changing decision. 2-0 it's all over, a couple of minutes, it's 1-1..

eZe^

Messi showing why he's the best in the world.. Absolutely sublime, he is magic.

Seriously? You think a referee should knowingly make wrong decision after wrong decision?

The offside is honestly one of the worst decision I have ever seen. He was 2 yards on FFS.

I agree Maxwell should have walked.

Barca looked good and sharp. Villa looked hungry as fúck and took a great goal. Pedro played very well, but he really needs to start scoring.

Iniesta. My word. Messi. Good grief.

Lionel Messi you are the best


Nice first goal as shown in the vid above.

19 goals for the season so far, ridiculously good

19 in 16 appearances. And the goals have been so varied. The best finisher and most talented footballer in the world right now, on his day (which is quite regular), and absolutely peerless player.

^ What are you on about? There was only one extremely controversial offside call all game?

Sorry I edited just when I read it properly, I stayed up way to late to watch the boxing and I misread what you said.

Ha, I looked at the time you posted and thought it was probably a drunken post alright

Love watching Villarreal play this season - very exciting the way they setup. Fair play to them for having a go away to Barca.

Couldn't hear the commentary in the pub, but why was the Barca goal ruled out last night?

CR 7

Higuain puts the ball in the net, only to be wrongly ruled offside. He was a yard on I'd say.

"Offside". Messi was 2 yards on at least. Shocking decision.

Sporting V Real is a decent game. Still 0-0, could go either way, but I see Real snatching it late on.

Why is Jose not on the sideline?

He got sent off in the Copa del Rey during the week AFAIK.

And Higuain rescues Real, looked very shaky for a while.

******* *****

CR 7

Real hold on for the win, the Mourinho way.

Ronaldo is the best player for that situation, running with the ball and drawing lots of fouls, and a red card, as sporting got desperate.

I have ones of Bale, Schweinsteiger and de Gea as well, but I'm saving them for a special occasion.;)
