Your basically telling me that unless they sign Suarez or Costa they should look to move one of the worlds best from the position he's the most comfortable to a new one where he has never really excelled in? I don't agree. Real Madrid are on road to win the league and have a big chance in the CL and Copa Del Rey and that's all with Benzema in the team.

Like I've said for me it's stonewall because you just can't do that. Ramos deserved to go off because of the laws of the games, although I find it harsh. While Real could've easily been up 5 so could've Barcelona. I think Barcelona only had one weak spell during the whole game and it was those 10-15minutes in the first half where Real scored twice and Barcelona was rattled. Otherwise they controlled tempo and possession for most parts of the game.

Brett, problem with all of that is that there aren't many top strikers out there nowadays. Who can they realistically get that is better than Benzema? Aguero? Falcao? Two players that played for Atletico and I find it difficult seeing them in the white shirt ever. Zlatan? No one knows how many seasons he's got left and with his age and salary I just can't see them paying for him. Suarez? The guy will cost a fortune at this rate and with the contract and everything looking bright for Liverpool I doubt they'd sell him. So who's left from the top strikers in the world to replace Benzema? There aren't any, possibly van Persie but he's getting old and has tons of injury problems. Diego Costa won't make the switch and has only one year of excellent goalscoring. Cavani is happy in PSG. I just don't see who they could realistically get that is better than Benzema, especially as he'll be hitting his prime age now and will only get better with confidence. They could easily have replaced Higuain with Tevez, but it's to late now. Lewandowski is gone to Bayern as well so there are no strikers they could realistically buy for less than like £70-80m out there.

At least you proved you don't watch any of their games. Benzema has been excellent since New Years scoring 9 in 11 starts while contributing to general play like he's never done before. To think he needs replaced is just He missed a sitter yesterday fine, but also scored two and offered more than Ronaldo or Bale did, do you want them replaced as well? Also you don't throw games where you are the worse team. They were 2nd yesterday in everything. Barcelona showed once again that they can turn up in the big games. Quite clear that motivation in matches against lesser sides have been the problem. Guardiola said that he left Barcelona because he couldn't motivate them for every game, Tata is experiencing that now, just how hard it is to get them playing the football they've done against Real and Man City consistently.

Fair enough, just an opinion. Was 3-1 in favour of not a penalty who i was watching with last night. It's done now though, Barca gifted a lifeline back in the title race. Sill hope Madrid go on to win it. Gifted a lifeline. Come on you troll, they were better throughout and got a penalty against them that never was.

This I definitely agree and I'm scared of what Argentina will be able to do with Aguero, Messi and Di Maria in this form in the World Cup. Argentina - Spain semi-final on one side and Brazil - Germany on the other would make any neutral love the World Cup.

You should rather be p*ssed off at the two Real Madrid players that chose to turn Iniesta into a sandwich due to their awful positioning. He's played for that, he wasn't getting the ball and he's trying to squeeze through a gap that was hardly even there. Ball ricochets off Xabi's leg, Iniesta feels contact and takes a tumble and screams. Would have been the softest of fouls outside the box let alone a penalty to win the El Clasico. Look at it again if you think he's played for that. There were three penalties in the game. Ronaldo, clear foul, but outside the box. He falls so deep inside the box that I thought initially it was a penalty as well. He exaggerates flailing his arms, but it's a foul nonetheless. Neymar, clear foul, he does what Hazard is so good at, puts his body infront and waits for the contact which comes when Ramos hits his leg, intentionally or unintentionally it's a foul. Red card seems harsh but those are the rules. Exaggerates like Ronaldo and makes the most of it. Still a penalty. Iniesta, clear foul, probably won't happen much of it if Alonso doesn't come in like a bull and catches Iniesta. Iniesta is through both but he'd have no space for anything as Varane/Pepe is right there as well. Stupid play but clear penalty. I have to say I find it refreshing to see Carlo's Real, they're much better behaved and he seems to have calmed down the team a lot from the Mourinho era. Obviously players like Pepe are lost causes but the El Clasico this year has been much classier even if both teams have tendency to cheat a bit, which I think any football team in the world does.

Looking at Real Madrids schedule, their most important game comes on wednesday already. Win that and I don't see how they'll lose the title. Can definitely see them drawing one of the other remaining games but they won't lose while Atletico have to hard of a schedule. Barcelona basically has to win every game and hope Real slips now on wednesday.
-
Have to agree with the last part. If Rooney-Sturridge can perform I don't see why England can't win their group. The only real weakness I see is that unfortunately that midfield doesn't have the same legs without Wilshere and Hart is a liability at times.
-
Obviously don't mean throws himself onto the ground willingly. He's get clattered and flails with his arms. He exaggerates, but so did CRonaldo. Both were still fouls.
-
:lol: That killed me man.

Disappointing. Expecting ''serGucCi CG be veG Ddving'' every time I see you have posted man.

Those two connecting man. That is what football is all about.

Neymar dived no doubt about it. Ref basically got one right out of 3 Which from what i see in La Liga usually is an improvement I'm not going to say you're wrong, just check the foul on Neymar again. For me and swedish tv as well it's pretty stonewall. He comes across and Ramos clatters into his foot. Obviously he then throws himself and exaggerates but it's still a penalty. Still think penalty and red card is so harsh.
-
I'd probably give Ronaldo the edge over Drogba but agree. Just looking at Suarez stats, it's incredible. 27goals 21 assists. It's unbelievable.

Passed it though, worst Barca in a decade etc etc. Mole we all know that those that say that are the ones that don't follow the league. Seriously though i still don't think they will win the league they seem to have a real issue with motivation these days against smaller opposition. Wouldn't be surprised if they won the CL though. Still see Real and Bayern as favourite for CL, but like I said the other day. Barcelona can turn it up like no one else because they have the best player in the world.

Absolutely. Without the cheating it would've been 4-2. Man, if you want to locate a such large portion of you self-esteem in the actions of a random footballer who wouldn't p*ss on you if you were thirsty, that's fine. Bit tiresome to read about it again and again, though. Spot on as always. Fuck you Pata.

The difference . The worst decision in that game was Real Madrid's penalty. I'm happy anyway, the slightly lesser c***s of two cuntish clubs won He calls other biased when he's obviously either trolling or wanking to a picture of Carlo Ancelotti as we speak.

Deserved win for Barcelona. Great game. League is on.

It was certainly serGucCi CG be veG Ddving :lol: It's somehow amusing as hell.

Ah yeah, i'd rather have Vern Anita as the most talented footballer in my team. Palnese loves Vinnie Jones man, childhood idol.
