Notice Real supporters eh report today. Licks from Osasuna away, ah well it was bong to happen

I think that ended the season hopes. What can I say? They are just not good enough. In a "two horse" race yuh have to at least beat all the other horses to give yourself a chance.

Unlike many, I still stand by the opinion that Mourinho is not the coach for Madrid.

There's still Champions League and Copa Del Rey to play for....

To say they not good enough is IMHO stretching it! certainly they have the tools, but some of the individual behavior of the defenders is erratic to say the least. However, to give up so easily is not Mourinho's way. Real still have Barca at home and if Barac slip up one game it would be down to the wire. Everyone knows Real's problems have nothing to do with coaching, shit it hardly have a coach that Real eh try. If the president & the Board repeatedly getting it wrong and firing coaches, at some point the socio's have to demand change of the decision makers. After all this is the same group that fired Del Bosque after much success claiming he did not have the image Real wanted.

The biggest problem with Madrid of late is that Barca has just been outstanding, even by their standards in the past 3 seasons. That's what I mean by "not good enough". You have to beat the best to be the best, and Barca in the past 3 seasons has been a mountain to climb....This season I honestly don't find Barca to be playing at the level of the last 2 seasons, but when they came up against Madrid in the last clasico, they found that level again - go figure...

Still think Pellegrini had a better footballing team than Mourinho. They played an outstanding Barca close both home and away, by scoreline and by the run of play...The same cannot be said of Juande Ramos or Mourinho...

Ignore the past decade of Madrid "mismanagement"

Madrid problem right now is Barcelona... plain and simple... All good teams does drop points loss form etc... except this Barcelona team it looking like...

Imagine you only 7 points back with about 17 game to play... and it look like your league season over... where dat does happen?

Barca just looking too good right now, near invincible... FU*K

Good point! Seriously when I look at coaching and management, I really wonder what is the deciding factor. Because coaches just spend money and eventually they may get it right. If you look at Laudrup you could see he has qualities, because with limited resources his teams play attractively. It would be great if football was to say, Ok everybody gets 150 mil to spend. Go!

Dat fella is the reason Cameroun won the gold medal in the Sydney Olympics. Phenomenal 'keeper and very loyal fella, too. He coulda left Espanyol a while ago but refused to leave the club.

Yeah and to me, it came down to Macherano, once he came off and Busquets pushed up w/Maxwell at LB and Abidal at central def., midfield was clicking alot better. Off the ball pressure wasn't typical either, ah boy, next few weeks will be exciting

PS: Need Puyol back as well, central def IMO just ins't the same w/o the skipper, engine of the team if you ask me, followed by Xavi and Messi

Leadership. That's it right there. Since he went out injured there performances have slipped. He's not technically the best baller out there, but his style of play screams leadership... and it's clear as day that they are missing him.
