Helps when you have the three best forwards in the world.
La Liga - 2015/2016
- Thread starter jojojo

The refereeing in Real Madrid games is just shameful. Penalties as soft as a baby's arse. The first penalty today is one of the worst decisions I've seen.
The refereeing in our game was ridiculous, the penalty that lead to the first goal was never a penalty. Happy to end 2015 with a win and well placed to win La Liga this season. Not in a position to comment on the refereeing in the Madrid game as I didn't watch it.
watched the Real game yesterday, stopped watching after that farcial penalty for their first goal.
Was ridiculous.
Was ridiculous.
We received a farcical penalty too.
Not a Barca fan.Caused us too much trauma over the years
And didnt see that game or the highlights, so my opinion on that would be worthless.
As for the Madrid game, It was a great time viewing wise(dont get to catch many la liga games) and the football was very good with Sociedad really giving it a go, no busparking whatsoever. I wanted the underdog to win and it spoilt the game for me.
Approaching halftime no goals at El Madrigal. Villareal dominating possession as expected. Valencia playing three centerbacks in a 5-3-2 formation..
Management has not been easy for Gary so far. Every match I tune in, Valencia seem to struggle.
January February are all easier fixtures against bottom half of table. A good run there is possible.
Big improvement so far in the second half from Valencia.
Much better in second half.
Good long range attempt from Parejo. Good save too.
What bend on that free kick, super goal.
Not looking good for Garry.
What an effin' fk. by Bruno Soriano... phew unsaveable even tho it was on the GK's sideBruno scores from a freekick.
Initially i thought a deflection. What a bend indeed.
Villareal are tough to beat at home, you can ask Madrid.
Offensive change now. Mina for Barragan.
Look at the fast-paced football Villarreal is able to play. PL teams are far away from that.
Next game vs Real Madrid..
I just read that Canales broke again the cruciate ligament of the knee , this time in his left knee . The third time in his career 
That's very unfortunateI just read that Canales broke again the cruciate ligament of the knee , this time in his left knee . The third time in his career
Good luck to the guy with the recovery.
Spanish Wilshere.I just read that Canales broke again the cruciate ligament of the knee , this time in his left knee . The third time in his career
Maybe retiring should be seriously considered now.
He's still only 24. I'm sure he'll want to come back. It must get harder every time though.
He wouldn't be the first youngish player to retire due to terrible recurring injuries.

So, for your entertainment this weekend...
A Barcelona derby - always a match with a bit of edge, and even the occasional surprise. However Espanyol's defence has been awful, and their attack's been mediocre, so gameraising will be required.
Valencia have Madrid to deal with. With their recent results Neville will probably be prioritising a dignified result over a show of attacking flair. I have no idea what Benitez will be prioritising - probably something to do with stocking up on Turron - maybe he'll visit the museum to see the Liga trophies he won with Valencia. Yep, Rafa won the League twice with Valencia. Imagine.
Mmmm, turron
Who was it saying about Messi being unlucky from free kicks? Just hit the angle

Also another 2 last match.
Dirty game raising cnuts.
A red card is likely in this match. Way they have been hacking down Barca players, I am not sure why we haven't got any yet.
Barca just drawing, so they are just one point ahead of Atletico.
Finishes 0-0. Chances were there for Barça - the open net miss by Suárez especially.
Suarez had a bad game, not just his miss but his passing was poor. Time for Masche to let go now. Maybe good for bench, but don't thik he fits this team now. Verm and Bartra should be starting ahead of him.
Nonsense on Mascherano. Didn't do anything wrong today.
No, he is shaky and seems to be losing a few crucial duels. He will get roasted if playing against fast tricky opposition players. He lacks composure IMO. Verm is fit now (hopefully) and is better than him IMO. Also his height is added advantage.
