El Classico X 4 (1st: Draw, 2nd: Real win, 3rd: Messi wins, 4th: Barca win)

[TheHorse'sMouth]

Madrid keeping their shape nicely in the early stages, Ronaldo ready to pounce on the counter.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Ronaldo has already done more than he did in the reverse fixture.

 

[Kaos]

Who is that Geordie commentator....feck me

 

[TheHorse'sMouth]

The way Barca suffocate the opposition just using the ball is something else. Madrid can't hold onto it for more than 3-4 passes before losing it.

 

[Richter]

Who is that Geordie commentator....feck me

Funny voice and in love with Messi? That's the infamous Ray Hudson.

 

[Sarni]

I think Real will do them.

 

[PhilipB]

Well there goes Elvis' quid.

 

[Kaos]

Funny voice and in love with Messi? That's the infamous Ray Hudson.

First time I've heard him, on the verge of muting this game.

 

[MrMarcello]

This guy... quite annoying as a commentator.

 

[prateik]

Adriano

 

[TheHorse'sMouth]

Challenges flying in from all corners with a whistle-happy ref

 

[Kelvin]

been fouling non-stop game so far.

 

[Galactic]

Real playing long ball game.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Barca getting into their stride now.

 

[Arruda]

THere you go, pass the ball for 5 consecutive minutes and the chance eventually happens.

 

[ha_rooney]

Great chance for Messi, how many passes was that?

 

[Raven Blade]

Barca float like a butterfly but they definitely sting like a bee.

It would be good for the game if Real score first. Barcelona are having too much their own way.

 

[barros]

The way Barca plays... they put RM to sleep and then.....

 

[Cina]

Messi's dinks are getting a bit predictable. Saw that coming a mile off

 

[TheHorse'sMouth]

Great chance for Messi, how many passes was that?

Barca had the ball for like 3-4 minutes

 

[Zen]

Has Villa permanently been shifted to a wide position, seems Messi is given the central role more often recently.

Well he's played there all year and very often for Spain when Torres plays yes.

 

[Cina]

Funny voice and in love with Messi? That's the infamous Ray Hudson.

He is fecking intolerable. He actually just wanks over Barca and Messi for the entire game.

 

[WR]

It won't surprise you to learn that Barca are dominating possession, but they are being very patient with it so far as Real happily soak up pressure. Last time Barca had less than 51% of the ball in a game of football? Three years ago, when they lost 4-1 in the Bernabeu to Real, who were champions that season. Incredible.

From BBC. What a stat.

 

[MrMarcello]

Bad officiating there. Pique impeded Ronaldo and forced him to go airborne or get clattered. How that wasn't a free kick?

 

[barros]

WTF? that was a foul against CR

 

[Justin]

Big penalty shout by Barca, yellow card for Pique for dissent.

 

[Decotron]

Cmon Red Card

 

[barros]

penalty???

 

[prateik]

villa booked for diving
nah. pique

 

[Name Changed]

I think that was a penalty.

 

[MrMarcello]

Uh oh. La Liga has a ref straight out of the book of Phil Dowd or Jeff Winters - grandstanding twat looking to stamp his name in the press.

Villa carded for a dive. Hilarious. Could have gone either way.

 

[barros]

Villa still a cnut

 

[Sw33t]

Pique got booked?

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul.

 

[Name Changed]

This is getting interesting. There'll surely be a couple of scraps and a sending off or two. The tackles are flying in and the referee is allowing it.

 

[Galactic]

Is it me, or is that Mourinho looking slighty nervous?

I think it was Pique he booked. I could be wrong, but I don't think Villa got booked.

 

[kps88]

75% possession.

 

[prateik]

I love this fixture. Its always intense.
75% possession for barca..

 

[Kaos]

This will not end well.......just as well!
