Village Idiot

That 1860 shirt has left me speechless. Holy fucking Christ.

Would hopefully reduce the gap between Barca/Madrid and others, although I'm not sure how exactly Yeah, it actually happened last week but it has been officially announced today. At this point it's just speculation what changes it will entail, however, most journalists are just throwing around how the premiership works and assuming we are doing the same, which may not be the case in every aspect. At this point it seems unlikely that they will completely break with La Liga, however, just that the top division will get to make its own rules within the structure.

Baraja's too old. Most of the La Liga players in that list that could do a job for you are too old I think. Surprised to see Chori Castro on the list (he's good), I guess Mallorca can't afford offering a contract. But you got Jonás, no reason to sign Jonás' old understudy at Mallorca. I'm pretty sure Klasnic is still under contract by Lens, he's just finishing his Bolton loan. Pretty sure Lens will sell him since they failed to gain promotion, though.

Used to be more fun, can't say I have terribly enjoyed the league this year. Just a bulldozing marathon between both teams. Buth a trophy is a trophy, when I was a kid we only won the league once every decade instead of 4-5 like now so I absolutely *don't* take anything for granted since this golden age could end any time.

Idiot me, I misread the article. It is right. It's just for Barça. Which is to be expected since we haven't had a Spanish striker starting regularly for us since the 1960s.

Just read that Bojan is the first Spaniard to score in three consecutive league games since Luís Enrique did it in 1999. That's an awful record! Can't believe that the likes of Raúl, Morientes, Villa, Torres, heck even Güiza or Salva Ballesta never equaled that.

Pretty sure Martínez just wants to piss Fergie off :lol: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/wigan/6448946/Wigan-manager-Roberto-Martinez-hits-out-at-Sir-Alex-Fergusons-loyalists-and-FA.html

Di Natale.

Don't be greedy, he's bagged a goal and two assists already

What's the deal with the Villa/Liverpool games. Doesn't finishing 6th instead of 7th allow you to skip some of those utterly annoying preliminary rounds played in July-August?

19 seconds is an eternity. In Sweden BK Häcken scored against Halmstad away from home after eight (8!) seconds! Not exactly the same, but Hagi once scored 3 seconds into the second half, from the kickoff point.

Madrid would have won La Liga any other year, and it's silly not to think this same team won't do it in the next few years. Make no mistake, even if La Liga is a bit s*** I have never seen Barça have such a domestic season in my life. Fuck me, I'm talking like it's in the bag already, now I've jinxed it :frantic:

Fulham shut off the league weeks ago. Can't blame them I guess.

I see that Boa Morte scored for Wham, good to see him back in a pitch. Oh, and I'll withdraw my statement that Caldwell was decent.

In other Madrid-related news. Tottenham linked to Raúl in our press. It's pretty much a given he's leaving Madrid at the end of the season, which honestly will do them a lot of good.

Incidentally it's a funny situation that Real Madrid now depends - of all people - on Javier Clemente to win the league. If Valladolid didn't need these points so badly I'm pretty sure the bastard would throw the game just to piss them off.

SPL-tastic. Last year wasn't actually so much different, Madrid just gave up after the 2-6 and both teams dropped lots of points after that match. Both would have ended with 90+ if they had kept the pace until the end. I blame other clubs fans to be honest. They should just stop this "second club" s*** that's endemic in Spain and hate us and Madrid for the horrible big club primadonnas we are.

Spanish journalist Julio Maldonado, who rarely talks s***, has just twittered that he's learnt from a "very good source" that Higuaín will indeed be for sale in the summer. http://twitter.com/maldinisport (in Spanish, for you babelfish fiends)

That's a bit of a myth. 48 caps at age 23? And more than half of that are starts. At the end of his career he will hold the record.

:lol:

He's too busy managing the side And I think he'd be overrun in this day and age. And let's face it, Xavi is a much better player than Pep was. The student surpassing the master. Fair enough, you have no problems having a Brazilian in your all-time Spanish team though? I was considering that, and putting Bakero instead. Old school Basque tough-tackling midfielder with endless drive and energy. But Senna's better so I cheated. Actually Bakero started as a striker but was Alansmithed by Cruyff.

Just tried to make a Spanish best XI, and there's no ways about it, most of it it's the current squad. We just have the best crop of players since the 1960s. Arkonada Ramos Puyol Alkorta Gordillo Senna Xavi Cesc Míchel Villa Silva So many great players left out, however. Hierro, Guerrero, Butragueño, Bakero, Valerón, Luís Enrique ( ), Nadal, Santillana, Guardiola... but they aren't as complete at this lot are. I put Villa instead of Torres since Villa has a better international record.

Thought the lion bit was very cheesy. The rest was cool, and I'm Spanish. I'll counterattack, though.

And they need some senior figure to marshal the team on the pitch to be honest. They crumble so easily. I distinctly remember when they went down 1-3 at the Camp Nou and they just looked at us passing the ball, no pressure, no tension. Something similar happened in the first Chelsea game this season.
