Copa del Rey

The Physio · 26th October 2009, 22:20

I was looking at this weeks Copa Del Rey fixtures and couldn't believe the odds on them, Barca Athletico and Real are all maybe 1/2 to beat shit teams from two divisions below. Makes it tempting to back.

Anyway, it could be interesting to see how they go, with Pelligrini in bother if he doesn't win, Athletico with their new manager heading to Marbella and Barca starting their defence.

x42bn6 · 26th October 2009, 22:23

Few really care about the Copa del Rey nowadays though, maybe that's why the odds are so rubbish.

phelans shorts · 26th October 2009, 22:24

its only like the odds of us beating barnsley actually we will probarbly put out a stronger team

Gio · 26th October 2009, 22:26

They'll all be sticking out reserve teams. Still, Barca's kids gave Tottenham the runaround in pre-season so might be good value.

The Physio · 26th October 2009, 22:44

I'm going with 15e on United Chelsea city Barca and Réal

Sarni · 27th October 2009, 00:28

Atletico can't beat anyone nowadays.

Sean_RedDevil · 27th October 2009, 21:40

Alcoron vs Real Madrid 2-0 (40 mins)

Dudek - Sergio Ramos, Albiol, Metzelder, Drenthe - Granero, Guti, M.Diarra - Van Der Vaart - Raul, Benzema

Brwned · 27th October 2009, 21:43

Well now it's 3-0.

One of the opposition's players is a postman as well.

7even · 10th January 2012, 21:56

Malaga is good team. Toulalan give the good defensive protection and they play with intense and good pressure on Madrids ball holder.

So far Malaga has been the most dangerous team.

Obs. Khedira was injuried in his right ankle close to half time. Didn't looked good at all.

MaroonPondlife · 10th January 2012, 22:18

Ray Hudson is an absolute roaster. Creaming over Ozil in that last Madrid attack and he wasn't even involved.

Madrid really are a dirty bunch of cnuts.

ha_rooney · 10th January 2012, 22:18

Great save but Ronnie should've scored.

MaroonPondlife · 10th January 2012, 22:20

What a shite header Cristiano.

The refereeing in this game has been blatantly inconsistent ... guess who's benefited ?

ha_rooney · 10th January 2012, 22:26

Oh dear GK!!! Taibi would be proud.

Benzema with the goal that should ensure el classico in the QFs.

7even · 10th January 2012, 22:27

A Rembrandt off highest order from the Malaga keeper. (2-4)

MaroonPondlife · 10th January 2012, 22:30

Well that renders a potentially interesting last 20 pointless.

Hudson dicking himself again on Ozil - he actually underhit the pass to Benzema, which was why his shot was 'poor'.

ha_rooney · 10th January 2012, 22:43

Arbeloa sent off, cunt.

Willy

he did make a dick of himself with Benzema's goal.

MaroonPondlife · 10th January 2012, 22:49

Malaga's final ball just hasn't been good enough.

Minkaro · 10th January 2012, 23:06

When did Malaga sign Taibi?

Although haven't Malaga been taken over just this summer by some rich people? I reckon with a few good signings over the next couple of years they might be pestering Madrid and Barca at the top. At the moment they're a bit like City were when they'd only just been taken over.

Amazed RVN played the whole game too. Would have thought he'd be more of an impact sub these days.

There's absolutely no way they will be anywhere near Barcelona or Real Madrid, ever. Even if they had all the money in the world they still wouldn't have the appeal of these two and both of them are so good that the best you can do is come close, even matching them is impossible, especially in Barcelona's case.

Don't underestimate the power of money. City were so far away from United before the big sheikh up

They don't have anywhere near City's money from what I've gathered. Their sheikhs don't want to invest that heavily and usually buy wisely for lower fees or sign out of contract players. They paid a significant price for Cazorla but it was a good price too.

Ah, I guess specifically Malaga may not have enough money, but I do think if a club is given the funds they can challenge for the title. It's happened twice in our league, and is happening in others, so I think regardless of how strong Barca + Real, you couldn't discount the possibility of a rich man changing the whole landscape.

Snow · 10th January 2012, 23:47

I bet on about 8 games the other day. Got 3 out of 5 Copa games wrong on that slip. Atl. Madrid lost to Albacete at home. Villarreal lost to Mirandes at home. Valencia drew Cadiz away. It's unpredictable.

Kind of safe to bet on Real because they barely beat Malaga last time and won't throw the tie away. Barcelona will definitely use youngsters. Their youngsters are very good. Osasuna will probably think the tie is over.

Any other game can go either way.

jojojo · 11th January 2012, 00:48

Mirandes, the Division 2B team, drew with Racing tonight and go through 3-1 on aggregate. They get Espanyol or Córdoba (Cordoba are a Liga 2 team) in the quarter finals.

Madrid, barring a miracle of matchfixing proportions in Osasuna on Thursday night, will now be playing Barcelona twice this month in the Copa QFs.

Mallorca are the other team who qualified tonight.

Snow · 11th January 2012, 00:52

Go Laudrup!

jojojo · 12th January 2012, 22:57

The QFs will be

Mirandes Vs Espanyol
Mallorca Vs Athletic
Valencia Vs Levante (Valencian derby match)

and, of course
Real Madrid Vs Barcelona

First legs are next week - with the clasico on Wednesday.
Casillas says the clasico's novelty has worn off a bit - they'll have played 9 times in 12 months by the time the month's out.

Snow · 12th January 2012, 23:00

Great draw for the teams left in it. Barca will probably like it more to have two legs vs Madrid.

jojojo · 25th January 2012, 18:24

The Copa's giantkiller party continues. Mirandes a semi pro team from 2B beat Espanyol over two legs, going through on away goals. The star man was back working in a bank today.

They'll play Mallorca or Athletic in the semi final

jojojo · 26th January 2012, 23:25

Valencia beat Levante 3-0 tonight, 7-1 on aggregate

Which means the semis are:
Valencia Vs Barcelona 1 February, 8 February
Mirandés Vs Athletic Bilbao 31 January, 7 February

Aboutreika18 · 26th January 2012, 23:49

Would be nice to see the entertaining Bielsa win some silverware in his first season at Athletic.

The club deserves it.

But why can only basque players play for the club and the manager can be non-basque?

7even · 1st February 2012, 20:28

Valencia - Barcelona.

Valencia looking good. I have my eyes on Banega. So far so good.
Spanish referee's? Guess.

7even · 1st February 2012, 20:29

1-0. Happy days. Jonasssssss.

McLovin · 1st February 2012, 20:34

Barca should have had Pinto sent off too. Handball outside the area.

7even · 1st February 2012, 20:34

Fabregas hitting Banega's foot juts outside the penalty area. The referee is three yards away. Guess his decision? You'r right! Nada. Have to earn his money.

And it clearly looked like his hand from first viewing so not sure how that was missed. Linesman didnt have an obstructed view either.

7even · 1st February 2012, 20:37

I have two TV sets, watching both Valencia - Barca and Arse - Bolton. What a difference in speed, intense and technique.

McLovin · 1st February 2012, 20:38

1-1

Sylar · 1st February 2012, 20:38

rofl. What a save by the keeper then hes nowhere from the corner....

marcosdeto · 1st February 2012, 20:39

wow!! lets buy cuenca!!
