He should absolutely not say who he supports in public.
La Liga - 2015/2016
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Especially so soon after there were allegations that the ref was going to fix the match in Madrid's favour. Can't remember a commissioner or someone in such a sensitive position coming out with something like this.

Levante with a contender for miss of the season:
Everybody knows! It's like asking Gill to deny knowing anything about United.
Villar, president of RFEF who supply the refs, is ex-Athletic and widely seen as pro-Barcelona (when it's a Madrid/Barca choice). Certainly Barcelona and Athletic seem to be the only clubs who have anything nice to say about him.
It's normal and almost impossible to avoid, most Spanish fans have Barcelona or Real Madrid as their first or second choice team, and yes, the second team idea gets a lot more acceptance amongst Spanish fans than English ones.
Neymar with the opening goal for Barça, his 13th in La Liga this season.
Left foot again, 3rd goal in a row using it
Michel Platini's comments about Barcelona "seducing" him in the build up the 2009 Champions League final were poorly timed and inappropriate even if that's how he felt.
Suarez with a cracker to make it two for Barcelona.
Think they'll be the first team to retain the CL.
Front 3 is just insane.

Suarez just taking the piss now.
Both goals were stunning again, Suárez's more so. Messi exceptional again, Dani Alves too. It's a joy to watch this side.
Most people seem to think Neymar is better than Suarez but I'm not quite sure. Suarez is unreal and is probably the most well rounded forward in the world right now.
Stunning goal.
Stunning goal.
Neymar, Busquets and Dani Alves have been awesome. Suárez' was an authentic golazo. Messi still doesn't look 100% sharp yet and very passive so far -- did pull a lovely, graceful flick out of thin air to set up Dani Alves for the 1-0.
Alves been playing great, Leo still not 100%
Alves 
Haha not sure what happened there, was supposed to say Neymar exceptional rather than Messi (though I think he's had a few good moments too).
Happy Mathieu didn't blow that one
Brilliance from Neymar, Messi scores. 4-0
Comical the way Neymar looked to serve a goal up on a platter, had to have had at least a handful of chances
Unreal dribbling from Neymar tonight, unreal
Hm? His last couple of dribbles (in the lead-up to the goal and then that final chance of the match) were extraordinary, but overall it looked pretty standard. His maturity impressed me a lot, lot more: if any one player was "running the offense" tonight it was him and not Messi. Rarely made a poor decision either (unlike Suárez and Messi who were both rather error-prone in the 2nd half).Comical the way Neymar looked to serve a goal up on a platter, had to have had at least a handful of chances

So after a relatively bad start to season, we are picking up form. Messi still not 100%, though a 75% Messi is still better than most, the shot which hit the bar was unreal. Suarez is coming into his best form and scoring some blinders. Neymar what a player, best player this season.
The midfield of Busquets, Iniesta is really clicking, and with Roberto/Rakitic/Turan we have good backup. Felling good..

You also have Aleix Vidal who can provide depth on the right wing.
I wonder what the opposition dressing room looks like after they get spanked by Barca.
Suarez with another technical goal. This guy is fantastic.
Damn, Antonella got ass Messi is one lucky bastard.
Messi is one lucky bastard.Well, we at United wouldn't know a thing about that.
Barcelona are just insanely good. A joy to watch. I wish we had just one player with the talent of their front 6.
They have established themselves in the last ten years as the pinnacle of football.

They've just had Moyes as their manager. I imagine it's about the same as before the match.
A nice story in As. I had heard it before but did not know exactly who was doing it . A fan has been 17 years leaving a bunch of flowers in the corner, in tribute to Milinko Pantic , one of the heroes of Atlético in 95/96.
Apparently Pantic didn´t like the flowers because bothered him to kick the corners . The fan managed to contact him through an employee , with a note saying "Don´t throw the carnations, they are for you" .After that, Milinko felt guilty and contacted the lady, starting a very close relationship with all the family

Now don't tell me United doesn't have technical players in midfield/attack. From Basti, Herrera, Mata, Carrick to Martial (also had ADM before this season) there is enough talent and ability. No player can do anything unless they are allowed to express themselves and confident to take risks.
Ha! Doesn't really compare to Messi/Suarez/Neymar. No team does. It sucks for everyone else.
You didn't even count Iniesta who's one of the best technical footballers of the last 20 years. He'll control a pass better with his cock than Rooney with his feet.
I am not comparing at all, I am saying that if United want they could also play a more dynamic game. Whether it's the manager or something else stopping them to express themselves. If you put 1/2 players from Barca in same United team, nothing much will change unless there is a drastic change in the attitude of the management. You can't crucify a player for taking risks or losing posession trying to make things happen like it happened with ADM last season.
Indeed, I refuse to believe that the current set of players aren't capable of producing much better football.
Anyone watching the Real Madrid game?
Bale 1-0
You.
Just me it seems. Rafa's Madrid not as watchable as West Ham vs. West Brom for most tells its own story though.
It's a very scrappy game, lively though but there's not much sign of the massive gulf in resources between the teams. Eibar play these games like cup ties and it's great to see. Madrid, you can tell, are just desperate to get through it, pick up three points and go home.
