"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.

Please, allow journos to keep their brainless clichés, what would they do without them, the poor things?

Since both Barça and Madrid are locks for the CL and they are in our cup final, seventh gets to the EL.

Great win for Atlético, hopefully they'll get their act together and build on that instead of getting humiliated by some shit side as per usual.

Their squad is quite thin yes. They haven't been the same team since January. Suspect they weren't ready for a long European campaign. They should still easily clinch a CL spot. 10 points clear of the parakeet cunts.

Wasn't he quite promising once upon a time at Espanyol? Yes and I never understood why Espanyol didn't give him a better crack of the whip, seemed to give up on him pretty quick despite the hype. He's been very, very good for Barça B, but I think he's found he's level since he's not going to improve more at his age.

That's classic Atleti defending. I don't know what happens there, no matter how many classy defenders they buy (Godín, Filipe Luís) they always turn into the chuckle brothers when putting on that shirt. Still a great result so far for them.

Of course, there's Jonathan Soriano but I don't think we seriously intend to make him a senior player. He's already 25 and our second division is probably his level. Plus he's an Espanyol fan.

We just don't produce strikers. Never. Bojan's the closest thing we have had.
