La Liga Discussion Thread 2014/15 Season.

Ulysses Gaze

Anyone for 6-3 or 6-4 in this game?

Johner

Cracking game.

Andersonisgod

Goals are going in too quick, I can't keep up.

JPA

A goal and 3 assists for Messi if you can assist ogs.

Johner

Sick challenge.

That was nasty, crazy stuff

Andersonisgod

I'm wiping my eyes, I've nearly puked, Lionel Messi is not human. I'm not sure there's anybody else on the planet who can do what Messi just did. He scores so many goals but he also makes so many goals. What an honour it is to watch him play.

You're not the only one after I read all that......

Game of the season! That had everything!

Ulysses Gaze

Crisis at Barca? What crisis.

eternal

I missed all the goals. Got the five bit right though.

fullstop

Should be an interesting run in now after this weekends results.

It had everything except defending IMO :P

Nah, that was last weekend Barca vs Villareal. Hoping for more of the same on Wednesday!:)

Messi seems to be back to his best form.

Where he can literally do what he likes on the pitch.

Unreal stuff

I fear for City when they come to the Etihad

dfx-

That fifth goal is something else, even against ten men and a two goal lead.

How he waits, basically stalling it until Busquets gets up, stands around and makes the run is ridiculous. And the stats men only get to put it down as a completed pass...

Andersonisgod

There's not a player alive who delivers a better final pass than Messi, his vision and execution are unprecedented. His pass finds Neymar who mis-times the volley but it lobs over the keeper anyway. 1-0

amazing by bartra

Andersonisgod

Pitchside robbery denied Messi a goal but the little magician gets on with it and gets his goal. Bartra does brilliant in an attacking position, he wins the ball, he plays a beautiful pass and Messi's first touch and finish are sublime.

Andersonisgod

This is a team who want to win it all, who want to right some wrongs. It's champagne football, Busquets finds a perfect pass to Pedro, who squares to Messi and he scores again. This I'd all after some incredible freestyling tiki taka. Just wonderful!

Andersonisgod

There's the hat trick! Messi scores from the penalty spot.

Too Tough To Die

I hope he gets another. I don't like to see Messi score impure hat tricks.

miralize

SUAREZ!!! What a finish.

Absolute master class tonight!

A Dub in Glasgo

What a fantastic goal from Suarez, lovely stuff

Andersonisgod

What a goal! The acrobatics from Suarez! Genius! 5-0

Fudge You

Messi is having a sh1t 2015.

Good goal from Luis Suarez, But could he do that in the Premier League??? I don't think he could.

Turtwig

Anyone got a gif of that link up play between xavi, Neymar, messi and the bounce behind Pedro that prevented the tap in. He was unbelievably unlucky not to get any goal.

Wouldn't even make it into his top 3 premier league goals goals...

Sid lowe (I think) described it as the best crisis ever. You couldn't ask for a crisis better than it. I actually to want Barca to lose something now to see what the reaction is. They look fooking amazing right now. On current form of both teams you'd have to worry for City.

Ulysses Gaze

Rayo 2 up against Villarreal. This will be a fantastic result for Paco Jemez.

Ulysses Gaze

Great game at the Balaidos...end to end stuff.

As I write this, Celta have gone 2 up.

Atleti not at the races today.

dreamers75

The peno summed up Atletico, Celta player handles it outside the box no free so defender kicks him in the box and moans to ref about the free that wasnt given. Stupid penalty to give away.

Andersonisgod

Celta were excellent though, looked really up for it, kept the ball well and they caused all sorts of problems for Atletico's backline.7

Simeone tried everything to get Atletico to click into gear before it was too late but by the time they started playing they were already behind.

markcahill1985

Was in Madrid at the weekend for Real and Deportivo, great experience and everything there was really reasonable. Would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going. Also got to Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal on Sunday evening (after spotting the Villarreal bus parked outside a hotel, hadnt realised Rayo were as close as they were).

Sheepy99

I remember reading a story late last season that Eibar were going to be rejected for promotion and (could be wrong on this) they were threatened with being demoted too due to some crazy rule about having equity/physical cash to back up their running of the club.

Great to see that they appear to be holding their own after getting through that hiccup of a situation, given the size of the town and all.

What was your opinion of Vietto? (if he played)

I like the look of him, not sure how he's been doing since Christmas.

He played alright, looked lively in parts and linked well with Cheryshev a few times, he looks a decent player in fairness, Inter linked with him I saw in one of papers over on Monday.

Barca have lost at home to Malaga 1-nil. Disaster of a result.

jamescd

Barcelona lose at home to Malaga. You'd expect Real to open up a 4 point gap again tomorrow.

Ulysses Gaze

What the hell are Sky playing at showing only 45 mins of the Atleti game and then showing Premier League highlights on the supposed "Home of European
Football" channel?

Joke.

Just when it looked like they had turned the corner they produce an insipid performance like that today.

Malaga hadnt won at the Nou Camp this century ,1999 was their last victory there.

Everytime Barcelona have had a chance to go top this season they have blown it.

You can see the second half at 11pm

Shocking really
Maybe its on the red button feed but still no excuse .

That Match choice thing is a load of rubbish anyway,who wants to watch the whole 90 minutes of a non live match ,I dont see the appeal at all.

klose

Griezemann with another brace tonight what a fcuking signing.

zuutroy

Shades of Martino today. When Messi and Neymar both have a bad game it can get pretty ugly.

dreamers75

Was watching 1st of atletico and went to make tea....came and was like WTF???

took me a few minutes to figure out it was on the red button, check the other sky channels and only 1 live sport was on.

Utterly pointless decision, can only assume its to stop UPC/BT customers not seeing la liga as they have no red button?

What happened is that Sky moved Premier League highlights to Sky Sports 5 as some Rugby League Champions of Champions game was live last night and due to boxing, tennis and World Cup Cricket live events on at the same time, La Liga got the shaft.

Rayne Wooney

Madrid need to win this, I think Barca will beat them

Rayne Wooney

Overplaying it here, should be ahead

Ulysses Gaze

Ronaldo has been anonymous.

And diving and throwing tantrums.

This is the best player in the world?
