La Liga Superthread 2016/17

Lovely! How sweet that is to see Pau Lopez make such a mistake at the Camp Nou, very satisfying.

Espanyol GK makes another mistake and it leads to a goal. Add that to the kick straight to Suarez a few minutes ago and it convinces me this match is fixed

Turtwig

Think that got the biggest cheer of the Catalan crowd this evening. What. A. Howler!

Nonsense

Do you actually believe Espanyol would willingly help Barca win the League?

Turtwig

Fck me what has happened to Valencia. They're such a different team now. They could still win this! A draw is certainly on the cards. What a goal!

Andersonisgod

Goal! 5-0, Dani Alves with an Iniesta like lobbed ball to find Suarez who squares it to Neymar to tap in. The goals just keep on coming.

You are easily convinced.

Ohhhhhh Rossi! Atletico just got Atletico'd. Brilliant.

Glico Man

That's Atleti done and dusted

Turtwig

Atletico chasing the win and caught on the counter. Oh wow! That's harsh.

dfx-

Atletico threw away the league trying to hold on to a one goal lead at likely relegated Gijon and relegated Levante. They barely beat probably relegated Rayo.

Good to see it catch up on them.

They got a dose of their own medicine.
It would be a travesty if their industrial football won the league .

Barcelona's last 5 games were such that they were extremely unlikely to ever mess up.

The teams they've played have barely put up a fight. Not Barca's fault though.

I'd prefer them to win La Liga anyway. Atletico are admirable, but it's hard to get behind them IMO, and Real don't really deserve it after the Rafa debacle tbh.

An underdog that competes with a -% of what Barca/Real spend on transfer fees and wages, a fcuking travesty!

A bit like Leicester this season..

A Barcelona win is a victory for football.

No surprise here!

What do Granada need to stay up or is their H2h such that they are already safe?

I'm all for the underdog but Atletico play an ugly style of football and I don't like their cynical nature.

Despite what goes on behind the scenes you'd have to include Real here as well.

Although what exactly is a win for football? I know you are probably referring to playing style. But you could also argue that Atletico winning would be a win for football as they have got to this position without goes out and spending hundreds of millions on players to buy their way to success.

Already safe. Better head to head against both Getafe and Gijon.

4pm ko for Barca and Real on Saturday. Pain in the ass as Sky won't be able to televise live.

The relegation games are Sunday and the rest with nothing at stake are across the weekend.

kevovek

Really hope Rayo beat Levante next week. I thought atletico would beat Levante today though nothing to play for and all that.

gimmick

Whatever relegates Getafe is good by me

There is no league football in England next saturday. Pretty sure they will be able to show the games live on Saturday.

I think its just 3pm on saturday it doesnt matter if theres league or not. Think its only international football that they could show.

I'm sure the UK and Irish market doesn't feature highly among priorities but it is pretty terrible scheduling if there will be a blackout in the UK.
Could they not have delayed the matches an hour .

zuutroy

Both matches are showing as being Live at 4 pm on the Sky EPG.

HalloweenJack

Not their problem, the problem is with legislation in the UK.

According to 'Live Football on TV' website, BT are showing the Bayern match at 2.30pm on their channel, how are they getting away with that?

Put money on a draw between Granada and Barcelona.

Very unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

Really want to see Madrid do the double.

Unearthly

Thank **** the games will be shown live. I came on here to have a rant.

Now it's time to relax, and be happy

Cheers hopefully barca can do it!

It'll be all over at HT. Granada are safe so,they'll just treat the game as a end of season friendly. 4-0 Barca.

MD1990

I think Barca will find it tough. I'm sure Real have offered them an incentive & they have some dangerous players on the break with El Arabi,Penenralda & Success ( not sure he is fit though).

fuzzydunlop85

Barca not on the box ? In pub here and Madrid on sky sports 3.

RONALDO !!!! 1-0. Real.

How much would you guess Real will pay Granada if they win?

Yes!

Along with a draw in the Barcelona match, I've Ronaldo to score first in a 5-1 win, and have him to score three.

Unearthly

Suarez 1-0. League over

Andre 3000

Suarez does it again. What a player.

Rossi IRL

Ronaldoooooooo

2-0
