ponsaelius Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Wasn't Messi in his younger years regarder to be asocial to the point of moderate aspergers? I'm guessing thats where the chant comes from. Not particularly nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Quique Flores has left Getafe after the club sold Sammir, one of his key players, to a Chinese club behind his back. He had been only 52 days in charge and had steered the club out of relegation spots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Osasuna's last 3 games of past season are also under scrutiny for match fixing, Osasuna allegedly spent €1,5m in bribes to stave off relegation. However, Osasuna ended up being relegated anyway and they didn't get particularly good results in those games, so this one looks a bit iffy. Osasuna's former president and two board members have been arrested in relation to this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 FIFA issued a warning against the Spanish government instituting collective bargaining for football TV rights by law, saying it goes against their statuses. They are claiming the Spanish FA should manage them. They are just angling for their cut, the shameless corrupt cunts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 What's going on with Madrid? They've been terrible in 2015. Will Modric coming back bring them back to their previous level? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Modric is a huge loss indeed, I also blame Ancelotti running his first XI to the ground. But yeah, Modric and later James coming back should be a shot in the arm for them; Isco has been terrible since he's been their main playmaker, and Kroos looks tired.

But yeah, Modric and later James coming back should be a shot in the arm for them; Isco has been terrible since he's been their main playmaker, and Kroos looks tired. He hardly ever rotates, it's always been a problem and is partly to blame for his league title record not being anywhere near his CL record. Isco isn't really a playmaker tbh so it doesn't surprise me to hear that. (fantastic player though) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpeth mag Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Saw Valencia beat Sociedad 2-0 last weekend. Moyes has much to do to turn them around. Sat just behind the dugouts so hope he enjoyed hearing some English barracking! Valencia left winger (11) was good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat just behind the dugouts so hope he enjoyed hearing some English barracking! Valencia left winger (11) was good. Yeah, Piatti had a great game against Real Sociedad. He used to be one of my favorite La Liga players but his career crashed and burned after moving to Valencia. He seems to be having a breakout year, finally.

Ryan Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Atletico v.s Valencia tonight should be brilliant. Griezmann will be a huge miss for them but think they'll still scrape the win, Valencia have been really patchy away from home this season. Would love to see a Valencia win though.

The College Dropout Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Isco isn't a playmaker but Hazard is? Ludicrous. Haven't seen Real in a few weeks but they've been ponderous whenever i've seen them this year. No rhythm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Isco isn't a playmaker but Hazard is? Ludicrous. Haven't seen Real in a few weeks but they've been ponderous whenever i've seen them this year. No rhythm. Not really, Isco is a fantastic dribbler but he doesn't have the passing ability or vision anywhere near like Hazard. Everything he does is about as close control and dribbling his vision and passing isn't all that amazing. Hazard creates everything for that team, Isco can't create at all outside his dribbling which is why he excels when Modric and Kroos create the play for him. But i won't bother explaining it you any further some people are just beyond help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Ancelotti's the greatest but I have to admit, every time I've since Real this calendar year they've been underwhelming at best and totally dysfunctional at worst.

Disco Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Played a ridiculous amount of games with, what shouldn't be, a fairly thin squad. Factor in the World Cup and you've got some burnout and players unable to step up after a dip. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 It's hardly a shock that Ancelotti's isn't great at managing a long league campaign. His record for league titles is underwhelming to say the least, but he thrives in cup competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 He's won the league in England, Italy and France, mind. I'd argue he only had the best squad in one of them, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 3 titles in 20 years managing top class sides is not a great record, and I respect him immensely as a man and a manager. 1 in 10 seasons at Juve and Milan sticks out in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 FWIW he's clearly a flexible manager to prove what he has in 4 different countries, I'm just saying, he has hardly cleaned up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
