Village Idiot

That year we finished 6th it probably felt like your relegation. EXACTLY THE SAME.

Tickets are not yet on sale because of the strike, actually. Now that it seems resolved they should shortly become available at either the club's site or ticketmaster; I always buy them from those places.

The Spanish FA confirms there will be games this weekend.

Let's entertain the fact that this story may have an ounce of truth in it for a moment. What sort of player is he VI? Strengths / weaknesses? Used to play as a striker, moved to the left wing as inside forward at Barça B. Quick, mobile, very good off the ball. Not particularly fancy or creative, a classic Spanish forward.

Last 5 football games I have watched: Real Madrid - Juventus Bayern - FCB FCB - Real Sociedad Newcastle - West Brom FCB - Bayern

Yeah? Managed to hype yourself up for the CL final? Good man. Seventh in my lifetime, gotta look for fresh angles. Seven Champions League finals Did you care more about the 1st than the 6th? I was very little when we played Steaua, and given how that one went I don't really treasure many memories from it I still get mushy inside when I see Koeman's goal. Messi's mike-kicking antics in the last one are truly special too. 2006 one is pretty special too, I lived in Madrid at the time and had to plea my merengue boss for a day off to travel to Barcelona to watch the semi second leg against Milan... All are great memories, even the defeat at Athens I recall vividly, I fucking love the CL really.

Spanish court has declared the footballers strike illegal. However, the Spanish FA is still performing a lockout. So we're still without football until they relent.

Yeah, I enjoy the banter myself

Hope you're right, I'm still scarred from the last time we played an European final against an Italian team.

He's more no-nonsense than your usual Barça player, it's not that bad a fit. Personally I don't think he's good enough for us, but he can have a good career. Anyway, with Barça B certain to be relegated we will go on a loan spree to get some of the players there playing time at a decent level, so it's not far-fetched.

Oh Sandro, I like him a lot. He's always reminded me a lot of Pedro, a forward that has made up the fact he doesn't have the technique or flair of other young starlets with tons of drive and hard work.

The fact I despise Real Madrid notwithstanding, Barça - Juve is a game that feels fresh, we haven't played each other much and the last time was more than 10 years ago. I'm really up for it.

Ancelotti says that he wants to stay but that it's up to the club.

I probably wouldn't celebrate against Barça tbf; that lad is obviously white through and through.

Luque sighting; apparently he's a pundit now. He says Madrid's attitude was poor - oh the irony.

Five months ago, Real Madrid looked like the best team in the world - now they find themselves trophyless. They have managed their squad terribly.

Get in. Now watch Juve win the thing

Ramos will score with his arse in the 94', I'm seeing it.

Godamnit Pogba.

El Clasico has hardly been an exciting watch for a long time The ones in the past two seasons have been decent. Last year's 3-4 in particular was brilliant.

They are just too similar imho; and Ronaldo is just better. Time's on Bale's side though, Ronaldo is already 30.

No nails left to bite here.
