Village Idiot

You're also 9th in statto's all time table, with Sunderland also 10th. http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/all-time-table/full

Also, apparently we'll be the away team

Can someone please explain this to me, what's wrong with Valencia or Sevilla ? Sevilla is furthest from Barcelona and Bilbao. Ideally it would've been staged in Madrid, but the c***s there don't want to. Everybody though they would pick Valencia, it's been staged there quite regularly in recent times, since Mestalla is a big stadium and the city has good rail links. The FA picked Camp Nou essentially because of its size = massive $$ for the FA.

And another one two years ago against Atlético.

Danish guy I have on twitter is spamming "LORD", so I guess Bendtner is having a good game.

He's strongly linked with them, but Marca claims he also has offers from Italy and England.

Nah, they'll love that. Camp Nou can hold every single one of their ST holders. Anyway, over here it's considered a bad omen to have the final of a trophy played in your own stadium.

The Copa del Rey final will be played at the Camp Nou. Way to jinx our chance at a first trophy for the season.

In today's least shocking transfer news, Khedira has confirmed he's leaving Real Madrid at the end of the season. Hasn't said to which club.

I identify with the guys having a laugh at him.

Oooooh, I'm saving this one for Espanyol fans.

As usual with the Spanish FA, we've gone from being far too lenient to the other extreme. He'll probably just get a fine, though.

In less flamboyant news, Simeone has signed a new contract with Atlético.

Tbf might be a gift from a fan.

I personally love how they just don't give a fuck about poor Douglas.

Jesus MacChrist.

Don't pin that on us, flip. Also, five Brazilians? That's probably the most we've ever had in our squad, surely.

Brazilians, man

It seems to me your FA is going the completely wrong way in order to address your national team's issues. Imposing squad slots for English players is going to help out the Steven Taylors of the world rather than the Aaronses. Good players will always succeed; reform should come at a lower level, imho.

We have pretty much the same fixtures except that we have yet to play Atlético, and that Espanyol will give quite a bit extra against us. If we win one of the two and match Madrid's results elsewhere, we win this thing.

Celebration booze it is! Not a good game from us, but somehow we could have got a few more. Both us and Madrid are vastly unbalanced sides.

He's Spanish, that's a common mistake for us to make when speaking English since football clubs are singular for us.

That Madrid midfield as well I don't t know who's supposed to recycle possession in there though. Modric back is a massive boost, mind.

Five times this season already!

Off to some mates' place to watch El Clásico. We win, we get wasted to celebrate; we lose, we get wasted to forget it. I'm still unsure whether this is a win-win or lose-lose proposition.
