Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Rakitic, 2nd goal with his left leg this week 
As shown by his positioning for the second goal.
Politics.
It goes back to the time Jose decided that Casillas was no longer good enough to be first choice keeper. He brought in Antonio Adan from the bench for a number of games but the kid simply wasn't up to it.
Next season he brought in Diego Lopez who was sensational while Casillas benched.
When Ancelotti came in, he played Lopez in the league and Casillas in the cups even though it was clear as day who was the better keeper.
Somehow, it was Lopez and not Casillas was sold soon after.
Casillas started the next season, continued to be woeful and they got rid.

Don't worry, they'll be happy if Real Madrid win the leagueTo be an Espanyol fan
Oh good Levante have been promoted back up to La Liga.
6 points for the big boys next season guaranteed.

0-2 Rakitic
2-0 Rakitic.
Yeah, he never supported Diego López like he did with Xavi, he just remained silent and let the critics to keep on going.
Espanyol with the Sunday league blunders, 3-0 Suarez
Terrible mistake that, maybe even an offside?
Btw, Suarez is such an unlikeable bloke, even when he celebrates a goal.

Nice finish.
Barca keep it up with Real.
And now he is having a row woth the keeper during 3-0 in his favour. What a cnut, only Costa can match him, IMO.
Rakitić's form over the past few weeks has been excellent.
Since joining Sevilla, he's been one of the best midfielders around. He's won it all.

The rules that have been established so far (After watching la-liga regularly since 2007):-
1. Almost every foul on Messi is a booking.
2. Barcelona have the right to win all 50/50 decisions in their favour.
3. Football is a non-contact sport when Barcelona players are in possession.
4. Barcelona players can surround the referee, wave for a booking, deliberately kick the ball away and swear at referees but immune to any booking.
And last but not least, another Universal ruling about a certain individual:-
The dirtiest player ever to grace the football field (Suarez) can carry on play-acting and being a cnut, regardless whichever league he is playing, referees apparently don't have a fecking clue. He can rip someone's flesh off next time and it will be after match footage that will determine the serious nature of the offence.
Edit: I am NOT a Madrid supporter either.

0-3 Suarez brace
With Real having a game in hand, do they have any tough games left? Can't see them dropping more points tbf.
Maybe Seville.
Espanyol's defence
If they don't drop points against Sevilla then they will win the league, Malaga is a blow-over.
Between them this season.
RM 3-2 Sevilla
RM 3-0 Sevilla
Sevilla 3-3 RM
Sevilla 2-1 RM.
Sevilla are in their worst form this season too, whilst Real Madrid have only had a minor blip this season, but have had a 40 game unbeaten streak too under Zidane (Sevilla don't seem to go to the Bernabeu and win) maybe an injury in the CL game would change fortunes but I doubt it.
Considering Real Madrid need to lose a game, or draw two it's just not viable that in 3 games they will drop 3 points, especially when you consider their average points per game this season is 2.38, even on that trend they'll end up on 88 points, where as Barca can only end up on 87 (with all games played and won).
The only "surprise" could be really against Granada, IF Atletico get an away goal in the CL on the 2nd May, Zidane rests players against Granada (who are at home) maybe they will drop points, but even then Granada are second from bottom.
Basically, Real Madrid have won the league and there's no way they'll drop more than 3 points in 3 games, especially considering the opposition at this point.
They look like dropping points in almost every home game but end up winning in the last 5 mins. Celta away and Sevilla home are their tough games. Malaga (away) have already said they'll throw the game.
They'll definitely win then. Their B team is playing much better attacking football than the main team right now.
Barca will pay dearly for the Deportivo and Malaga losses. All because of Luis Enrique and his stupid rotations in the toughest games.
Real are always on the verge of losing a game. They have grinded out many results playing crap this season, so it's still wide open.
And yet they needed a last minute goal vs Gijon who are as bad as Granada. The league is far from over, Real have three away games and a tough home game vs Sevilla. They can easily lose one or draw two from those 4 games
They've been winning games at the last minute all season and I don't see it stop suddenly. They have great character and that's going to see them through.
Always on the verge of losing and yet always find a way (or penalty) to win. I don't see them dropping 3 points.
Imagine losing the title knowing beating Alaves at home would have made you Champions...
I think that Barsa will win the three games easily and I also think that Madrid will win to Granada and Málaga in the last match.
So,we have to get 4 points between Sevilla and Celta.

Barca look to have gotten back into form whereas Madrid don't look nearly as convincing. Still think Madrid will win but it's going to be close to the end.
Huh? Real slaughtered Deportivo after rotating everyone but the CB's. Barcelona rotate three players and lose to them because of that? Where do you get that from? Starting back 6 + Messi and Suarez up top.
Fail to score against Málaga and you blaim him for rotating 2 players when they have Juventus mid week?
The really dangerous game is Celta. Incidentally, that's what barcelona think, too...
Sevilla at the bernabeu has been a gimmie for years

How come Sergio Ramos was playing today after the straight red in the Barcelona game?
Madrid has the league won. I don't see them dropping 3 points in the last 4 games. Quite a brilliant feat given their main front three hasn't been amazing.
ffs amol, stop trying to jinx it!
More character than quality right now. They just keep winning late all season even when struggling. It's the sign of champions.
One match ban - there's no automatic 3 match ban for a red in Spain. So he served it against Deportivo midweek.
Madrid has a better midfield, and a game is won in the midfield, it creates chances and screens the back four, Barca have Busquets and that's about it for consistency now.
