    Champions of La Liga!!!

    Barca deserved it, I loved watching Ronaldo run up the tunnel. There's been talk of the end of an era, but it doesn't look that way to me. I was actually in Barcelona last year when Madrid won it, coming back from a game where Barca won 4-1 and it felt like a funeral. So different twelve months...

    Super Cup venue and rules changed by RFEF

    I've just checked the calendar: it doesn't say April 1st. Yet I still can't believe this. When would it be played?

    Andrés Iniesta chosen the Best Player in Europe!

    It was quite simply hilarious when the trophy was turned round and Ronaldo's face dropped. Not only is Messi better than him, but Iniesta is now too! I think what swung it against Ronaldo was his poor Euro 2012 performances; that and the fact he comes across as so profoundly unpleasant and...

    Primera 12/13 calendar announced

    I'm going to Barcelona on that day and I'd like to see this game. The question is, might it be played on the Friday 17th or even Thursday 16th because Barcelona are playing their Gamper Match on Monday 20th?

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    I think Madrid will have problems in all the remaining games they play away from home, especially the one against Bilbao, and obviously they'll lose el clasico.

    FC Barcelona tickets: questions and info

    Ta for that, I finally came across it yesterday, should have seen it earlier. I was wondering if anyone could tell me why it is that I can't print the ticket out at home? I bought it from the barcelona website, yet when I try to print, it says "* For matches without check, the option of printing...

    FC Barcelona tickets: questions and info

    At what times are the Camp Nou ticket offices open I've bought a ticket for Barca v Malaga, but unlike other games I've gone to, I can't print it out at home, and I didn't buy it from the caixa website, so I can't use their vending machines either. Therefore I need to go to the stadium, but...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    *cough* *cough* *splutter* What's that? Why, it's the sound of Madrid choking, of course! :p

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    I saw CR do an astonishing spin, twist and dive caught in slow motion just outside the penalty box last season; can't remember which one, he did so many. Had he done it after jumping off a diving board, he would have got 8.5. He's a clown.

    2011 CL Final: FC Barcelona - Manchester United FC 3-1 - Champions!

    Quite simply, a marvellous victory. It went almost exactly the way I thought it would; what a wonderful, wonderful night.

    El Clasico 10/11: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 5-0 Manita!

    Yeah but there was a delay before he went down. He got hit, had a second to think about what happened, then motioned a fall. It looks bad on the replay. That's not the way I want Messi to succeed Rivaldo.

    El Clasico 10/11: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 5-0 Manita!

    As others have said, highly entertaining stuff. I can't believe how little Real Madrid contributed to the game. It was like Barca against Xerez wearing white shirts. The attitude of some of the Madrid players stunk, you know who I'm talking about. I think Ozil is a good player at the wrong club...

    Would you want to see Rooney at Camp Nou?

    Well it doesn't matter now, since Rooney's not going anywhere.

    Pickpockets, thieves - myth or reality?

    To try and redress the balance, when I've visited, I've neither been a victim of nor seen any crime, as opposed to where I live right now, where my brother was mugged at a cash machine while a few weeks earlier I witnessed a double assault. Barcelona is not some dead zone, and you shouldn't be...

    89 mil. to spend this summer..

    Mundodeportivo suggests something similar: http://www.elmundodeportivo.es/gen/20100719/53966637898/noticia/el-arsenal-pone-precio-a-cesc.html They may be looking at meeting in the middle, and 50 mil would be the figure. Something tells me this time it's not going to happen, though you never know.

    Carlos Dunga

    It's a deeper attitude Dunga has that's to blame, and the quote by Arrigo Sacchi just before the quarter final sums it up : "Dunga has been inspired in his approach to the last couple of tournaments by how Brazil performed in beating my Italy team in 1994. They had a genius called Rai - but...

    The name of the cult is allegedly "Christianity".

    Celtic FC

    No, it was good. Scottish clubs have won more European trophies than France, and they've certainly won more than Sunderland. As for yesterdays match - it surely makes the case for making the league sixteen teams. Ross County played brilliantly. They were passing it around, fancy flicks and all...

    Celtic FC

    But who reads them? Look, what I'm saying is that if Rangers win 53 league titles, who cares outside of Glasgow? Do the English care? Or the Italians? No, because they'll all say that the only reason they've won 53 titles is because the league is crap. It wasn't back in the Eighties, but it is...

    Real Madrid (old thread)

    But that's nonsense. Real Madrid had a team in the late fifties that was incredible. Look at their performance in 1960 against Eintracht Frankfurt. Look at the way Di Stefano moves with the ball! And you think that team was rubbish? They compare with Brazil of 1970! It's not any more difficult...
