Barcelona welcome Valencia to the Nou Camp in what should be a cracker of a game on Saturday. Course, we don't get to actually see it. 3 pm kick-offs. :mad:

It's not being televised? Why won't we get to see it?

Nobody in England can show games between 3 and 5.15pm on Saturday I think

It'll be available online though. I didn't know that about the time thing.

1 nil up, Suarez.

jamescd

Barca 1 up already. Suarez

Turtwig

Mathieu seems a magnet for deflections lately. :pac:

jamescd

Penalty Valencia

jamescd

What a poor kick. Still 1 - 0 to Barca

zuutroy

Seemed a ridiculous call to give the peno.

Nolars

Some game so far

Turtwig

Fantastic match!

Valencia deserve something here...

Nolars

How is it only 1-0????

Yup, Valencia could have scored 3 by now

Turtwig

Adriano is completely getting skinned.

zuutroy

Looks like Messi has moved into a false-9 position for this one. Makes sense given the 'mobility' problems of the midfield 3.

jamescd

Off the post, Barca let off the hook again

Turtwig

Lol!
Another deflection unreal luck to hit the post!

jamescd

Another chance wasted by Alcacer

Lucas Hood

He's crap.

Turtwig

Messi hopeless!

No Messi jeez.
Get with the program.

zuutroy

How are the bookies making Barca 1/10 here. They're hangong on by a thread.

Had to be subbed. Surprised he lasted to half time.

jamescd

Messi hits the bar

Turtwig

Game of two halves. Have Valencia had an opportunity this half?

jamescd

Valencia starting to get going again. Should be a good final 10 mins or so

Nolars

it clearly was Barcas day Valencia should o had about 4 goals in the first half.

zuutroy

Messi has been fairly ropey in his last few one-on-one with the keeper situations. Not sure I'd trust him to take an ice hockey style penalty!

jamescd

lol...Messi almost made a balls of that

Turtwig

Valencia dominated in that second half. Deserved more from the first half. Great game. What a tidy player Rakitic is. Think the result is fair. Valencia under huge pressure in that second half. Only threat was from counters and those were very few and far in between.

dreamers75

Nice one Barca

Just need to beat Granada by 11 goals or so.

Ulysses Gaze

Bale off injured for Real. Not good news for next week if it is serious.

Turtwig

Bale, Benzema out.

Nice finish from Ramos. Woeful defending though.

Turtwig

Malaga should have scored. Simples.

How many goals have Real scored that were ruled offside?

Ulysses Gaze

Penaldo misses....a penalty.

Turtwig

Missed Modric's substition. Was it a precautionary thing or is he badly injured?

Huge blow for Wednesday if he is.

I think precautionary. Looked that way anyway.

Good goal by James and a great header by Juanmi in reply.

Ulysses Gaze

3-1 Ronaldo with his 50th of the season.

Great goalscorer.

Turtwig

Malaga defender should have stepped up to play Ronaldo offside incase Chico didn't play it flat/back.

Oh dear Ronaldo.
Useless.

Talib Fiasco

Penaldo sucks

Goddamnit I keep typing his name correctly but it always comes up as Penaldo after I click submit reply.

Turtwig

Modric expected to be out for six weeks. Massive blow for Madrid! (And Ancellotti!)

Since Alonso's departure Madrid midfield has not functioned without Modric.

Bale expected to miss tomorrow's game too.

NIMAN

I have a sneaking feeling for Atleti this week.

Turtwig

With Modric out I do too.

klose

Bale is out too with benzema not fully fit either.

eternal

Is the Barcelona game being televised tomorrow night on Irish TV or are they showing the Bayern clash instead, does anyone know?
