Barcelona V Real Madrid - Sunday 7th October 6:50pm - Sky Sports 1

Thoughts on this one then? Should be a cracking game anyway!

The odds of 11/4 on Real Madrid (widely available) and 11/5 draw no bet (Coral) are too tempting to pass up for me.

Madrid 11/4 WOW! That's a big price. I honestly can see them winning this even though it's away.

Ronaldo and Benzema will rip the patched up Barca defence easily.

Barcelona 2-3 Real Madrid

Morzadec · 06-10-2012 9:39pm

Barca to dominate at home for me.

Defence will be vulnerable but i feel it will be a 'we'll score more than you' games, with goals at both ends but the majority of them going past Casillas.

I'll say 3-1 Barca but who knows.

Always enjoy these games. I dont mind who wins TBH.

06-10-2012 10:09pm

Hope someone chucks a pigs head onto the pitch

Nunu · 06-10-2012 10:16pm

Hoping for a cracker.
3-3 @ 33/1

splashthecash · 06-10-2012 10:25pm

I love these games....the real winners are neutrals! The two most talented players in the world on the same pitch against each other...I leaning towards a RM win...Poyel is a big loss for Barca

Richard Hillman · 06-10-2012 10:30pm

If the game is clean Madrid will get a result. There will be less pressure on the ref now the ref chaser Puyol is out.

dfx- · 07-10-2012 3:19am

Madrid win for me..

_blank_ · 07-10-2012 7:54am

Come on the meringues!

JaMarcus Hustle · 07-10-2012 11:58am

Sounds like no Pique for Barca today. I'm assuming Song would slot in?

The_Kew_Tour · 07-10-2012 12:02pm

Have the popcorn ready for this one.

I think we see good few goals and 3-2 win for Madrid.

Blatter · 07-10-2012 1:32pm

Saw this on twitter...

If Ronaldo scores tonight, he will be the first player to ever score in 6 successive Classicos. Not bad for someone that "doesn't turn up" to big games.

Pinturicchio · 07-10-2012 1:48pm

I wish it didn't clash with the Milan derby.

Ah come on, would you not start this sh1te already.

In the La Liga thread, Someone said "The whole club is rotten to the core", about Real Madrid, when Di Maria was acting the mick in a match a couple of weeks ago.

I replied:
"Bit harsh. Im a barca fan btw... You cant say the whole club is. Some players would do your head in, and do dirty things now and again, but so do a couple of barca players. Like every football club actually."

But My point is Richard. Lets just leave out the bull****. We all know that the usual suspects will act the mick tonight, Sergio, di maria, pepe, alves. There will be dives, there will be shouting at the ref. There will be some dodgy tackles.
I just cant wait to see the two best teams in the world play against eachother. O and the best players too.

Who said that? No one has said that since around 2005, 2006, when he was really young. But that "saying" still lingers.

He is one of the top players in the world consistently for the last 5 years. Goal record is unreal. He has done it at the highest level, in the biggest games. End of!

IvySlayer · 07-10-2012 1:56pm

Milan Derby is on at the same time too

Dig out the Messi v Ronaldo threads on here over the last couple of years. Even a few Clasico match threads in the past, you'll def see plenty saying he doesn't do it in the big games.

Well the last few threads on madrid/barca have all got what you said "Who said Ronaldo cant do it in big games?"...

And Im sure if you do go further back you will see comments saying "Ronaldo cant do it in big games", but as you may have guessed, they are wrong, and obviously trying to wind up Real Madrid fans.

Adriano starting at centre back for Barca...

Valdes; Alves, Mascherano, Adriano, Alba; Busquets, Fabregas, Xavi; Pedro, Messi, Iniesta.

Casillas, Arbeloa, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Alonso, Khedira, Di Maria, Özil, Ronaldo, Benzema.

Serious lack of pace in Barca's central defence pair. Great attacking and passing line up though, Hopefully Villa will get some game time.

Adriano is quick isn't he ? His pace wouldn't be what concerns me with him playing cb .

shano_88 · 07-10-2012 6:18pm

Is Song injured? I would have though he would have been a better option than Adriano in central defeence.

ShamoBuc · 07-10-2012 6:24pm

Should be a cracker. Real to win 2-1

Songs on the bench.

IvySlayer · 07-10-2012 6:36pm

Roberto Martinez in the studio, no Guillem Balague?

Shanotheslayer · 07-10-2012 6:38pm

Adriano at CB? Barca going to leak goals

07-10-2012 6:49pm

some picture that

Nemanja91 · 07-10-2012 6:49pm

Stadium looked amazing there

inmyday · 07-10-2012 6:51pm

Looking at the barca 11. I cant see Madrid losing this one. Barca look so weak at the back.

With Paddypower

Madrid are 11/4 win,
Draw is 11/4,
Madrid draw no bet is 15/8.

I think the bookies have this wrong. I know barca are at home btw. But they shouldnt be favourite by far against these.
