Raúl back at the Camp Nou, it would be ace. The cunt would probably score too.

Congratulations to Spurs btw, would love to get you in the quarters.

Just fished this after reading the Capello comments http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/891651/fabio-capello-hails-gareth-bale-as-the-best-player-in-the-world?cc=5739 :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Barcelona ladies Wonder who the kid was, not a single black person around him.

What did he say? That Bale is the best player in the world. He's not even the best player in England.

What did he say?

That video's awesome

The fact is that if you stay on your feet, you don't win the foul, even if you were fouled to begin with. It's a sad fact but it's how it works. Refereeing discourages sportsmanship. And honestly I don't think we are worse than your average side out there.

Incidentally is that Chestnut boy seriously injuried? Would have been a s*** way to miss the rest of the season, breaking a finger from a straight shot. Happened to me once.

"typical Spanish cheating" stereotypes

I was surprised with the sending off. Harsh, but to the letter of the law. Still we utterly dominated, just lacked more lethality in front of goal to make it more comfortable than it was (well, it would have been comfortable if it hadn't been for the og). I too think you can still win the PL, so go and get that trophy.

I do that every night. I clean after myself though

What a great night Second best game we had this season, can't believe Arsenal parked the bus but it was befitting.

One of my friends is almost crying at the phone after he put €100 on a Real Madrid clean sheet.

So it was more related to his improper conduct charge than the loss. So childish.

Woah, that looks nasty. Always the gentleman Jaime C.

Screw Cesc tbf, we really need to sign CBs this summer. And another forward.

His injury has always been "no return date", he is reportedly close to full recovery but not just yet.

We always lower our performance in february-early march. Our fitness planning usually intends to peak around december and then april-may. Just happens that we got a hard CL tie in what's usually not a key month.

Something like this, sadly (the shaky defence bit mainly)

Zidane wanks over Eden Hazard, he's already tried to get Florentino to sign him.

Bit harsh, decent player back in the day. I know I know, he's actually a good player but I can't comprehend how he wound up in the Galactico Real Madrid.

Champions League winner Pedro Munitis. David May-tastic.

Aye. IIRC none of their starting XI is actually from Bilbao oddly enough. They are known to predate on other basque clubs' youth setups. They pretty much have to sign every basque that shows a wee bit of talent to make it. Isn't that part of the reason Sociedad now sign foreigners? No, they have signed foreigners since it's been allowed. But they have had angry clashes over youngsters. Bilbao buying Etxeberría was an huge affront.

First time I see them starting without a midfield bruiser. Wonder how it'll go.
