La Liga Season - 2010/2011

[Disgruntled_Trini]

I know Small Mag and ManUre co. will probably say Alex Ferguson have something to do with this.

Ronaldo: 60 goals in 61 games, best start in Real Madrid history:

Thanks to his two-goal performance against Getafe on Monday, Cristiano Ronaldo has 60 goals (and one baby) in his first 61 matches across all competitions over a year and a half with Real Madrid. According to AS, that's more than Puskas (55 goals), more than Di Stefano (52), more than Pahino (50) and more than Fat Ronaldo (43).
In addition to that feat, Cristiano is also on pace to break La Liga record for goals in a season held by Telmo Zarra and Hugo Sanchez (38).
Between all those goals and the shirt sales, that €94 million transfer fee isn't sounding so ridiculous anymore, huh? OK, it is. But Real Madrid should still buy that baby of his on the off chance he turns out to be even better.

Not to mention, he is rumoured to be licking down this ting. Cyah hate on the man pimping.

Ronaldo's latest flame is reportedly this Russian model and SI alum, who, like him, appeared in an Armani underwear ad. Hoes in different area codes? Son, Ronaldo pitches tents in different continents!

So yesterday Barcelona draw, when was the last time they did not win?

Jed i forget Mascherano come Barca oui, for a highly rated man like that he don't get much sweat. I does neva get when teams pay such a large fee for a man to make him a bit-part player. Now we get Afellay, I don't know when he gone become a regular. I know playin for Barca, Real, Juve etc is the heights for men but a man like Afellay young so I rather go a lil Liverpool and sweat right thru (i know im in d minority)

u making liverpool sound like a small side dey But playing for liverpool doh guarantee no sweat. Ah sure babel thought he woulda get rehl sweat but he benching right thru. Joe cole and all!!
And playing fuh Juve used to be de heights.....long time ago but not anymore nah. And yuh hadda give props to busquets fuh keeping his place. He's a decent player.

Good to see Kaka back-hope he goes from strength to strength!

[giggsy11]

Roy Hudson can haul his arse when he states Ozil has done more for Real in his short time at the club than Kaka has in his time at the club.

Madrid 4 Villarreal 2

One of the best games I've seen this season.

Villarreal was the better side in the 1st half, but Madrid steamrolled them in the 2nd...

From my memory, Madrid will have to play Valencia, Villarreal, Atletico and Sevilla away from home in the 2nd half of the season... that's a tough schedule to stay perfect in a chase after Barca...

[grassrotts]

nah I expecting madrid and barca to drop points against de smaller teams fighting relegation. Dey does put 11 men behind de ball and defend for 90 mins. Villareal, sevilla etc does be too ambitious and over-confident and attack too much, then get burn on de counter.
But yeh good game today. I expecting it would take a next 100 plus points to win de league again dis year.

The technical standard of the Real vs Vil should be 
the game had everything. The speed of play at times and technique at speed was unbelievable. Must admit the marking on Real's second goal was shocking.
Watching this game it looked like Vilareal was targeting Marcelo, he looked suspect defensively.

Marcelo is a winger, not a wing back.  The best football he has played was at certain times under Pelligrini and Juande Ramos when they employed him in an advanced position with little to no defensive responsibility. 

Giuseppi Rossi is a player boy!! Would like to see him in a white shirt.

hahaha yeah I like Rossi...I also like Vucinic from Roma and Lavezzi from Napoli- world class players that kinda fly under the radar and therefore probably wouldn't command the ridiculous price tag...

Agree Kaka looks lively- not sure if he has his burst of speed yet, but his confidence looks to be at a high level and it should only be a matter of time before he starts to be an impact player again.

Real Club Deportivo 0-4 FC Barcelona
0-1 : Villa 26'
0-2 : Messi 52'
0-3 : Iniesta 80'
0-4 : Pedro 81'

Catalan pride aside, Mascherano is a much better passer and tackler of the ball than Busquets.
Mascherano recovered the most balls (15) and completed the most passes (118) in the game against Deportivo.

Busquest IMO gets "protected" by the overall BARCA team system.  In his heyday Yaya was leaps and bounds ahead of Busquets.  Anyway, great free kick by Messi on Saturday

So why would Macherano not be protected by the same system??? Can't follow your logic. How people could be critical of Busquets is beyond me, he is an excellent defender & has the best passing statistics at Barca & Spain after Xavi. Yes I said it excellent defender. Look at the job he did on Ozil and Sneijder at the WC, neither had a sniff in their respective match ups. Macherano may have had a good game versus Depor. and I must admit one of his better passing games. But Macherano was and will never be known  for his passing.  He is a solid defensive, destructive midfielder, who's tackling game is plagued with fouls. Unlike Busquets who reads the game, intercepts and allow for a flow in transition.

Did not compare Mascherano and Busquets, compared Yaya and Busquets, the comment about Mascherano prompted me to comment about the latter (as opposed to the former).  Yes, all players to some degree would be "protected" by this system, but they all contribute to it, I am weighing Yaya's contriution to that very system relative to Busquets, no problem if you rate Busquets more than Yaya, before Yaya was traded, for me it was the other way around

[Disgruntled_Trini]

Balon D'Or build up press conference just finished.

[FF]

They give Messi yes.... 

[100% Barataria]

Wow, would have figured Xavi, oh well

[Disgruntled_Trini]

Damn!!

I really wanted Xavi to get it.

That trophy would've looked swanky next to his WC medal.
