This season poor he has been.

Valdes. A right joker.

Just as I thought, can't do it in the FA Cup when it matters.

Dinho, I'm actually starting to want Napoli not to score because of your sheer quantity of whining.

How dare Betis score.

Isn't he something like 10 goals ahead of Ronaldo in league goals already?

Messi got to 86 in less games than anybody *fewer :lol:

what is this i dont even

So.

86

85

Dinho, just shut up man. Never known someone to moan about a bet not happening at such an early stage!

Nah Atleti and Barca games are usually good and they actually turn up unlike against Real. I think i heard a stat like the game over last few years averages 5 goals a game or something Depends where it is though if it's at the Calderon it could get very interesting if it's at Camp Nou then it's probably going to be a Barca win. I seem to remember them getting some right beatings at the Nou Camp in recent years? That said it should be a better game than the Madrid derby last week, I agree.

Woah woah woah. A James Collins own goal and Rodgers gets a goal?

Barca v Atletico next week? I'd be excited if it wasn't likely Atletico will be shite.

And another.

Love his work-rate and bravery. Couldn't care that he's already got 3 goals, dives in with his head when the defender's booting the ball.

And there it is.

Falcao for the hatrick from the pel spot. Is it hatrick or hat-trick? "It's almost GBH" says the commentator.

Of course they will be! They've won 5 in 16 games man! You don't need a brain to see that! A James Collins own goal does wonders for the confidence.

While I'd absolutely encourage taking Europe seriously, it's too early in the league season to give up on it. Far too many teams separated by very few points for it to be seen as a write-off IMO.

When people are referring to the best player in a position (for example), shouldn't it really be the world's best, as opposed to Europe's best? If you thought Falcao was the best striker in Europe for example, he's surely the best in the world. Hardly like there's someone in Australia (Archie Thompson apart) who is going to be better. Always seems to be "well, player X is probably the best so-and-so in Europe."

They're really not.

Diame! This is definitely funny in my mind.

Falcao, fucking hell.
