La Liga 18/19

That second goal was just so brilliantly simple from Barca. Sevilla were on the attack and within three seconds, the GOAT is tucking it away. Sublime.

Mr.Nice Guy · 20-10-2018 10:01pm

Delighted for Levante and Paco Lopez with their win at Madrid. Looks like they've hopefully moved past that blip in form from a few weeks back.

Lopetegui must be a goner now. It would be epic if Wenger got the job.

Misses the 2 games with Inter too.

irishguitarlad · 21-10-2018 9:39pm

Another day without a goal. Betis really need a striker.

Yeah Sanabria, he needs to start a few games in a row though, the way they are using him(playing one day, not the Next) isn't suited to him. He needs game time and they just need to wait for him to come good. However they're sticking with Loren:-(

What a crazy start to the Spanish league season.

If someone suggested at the beginning that after 9 games Barcelona would be 10 points ahead of Athletic Bilbao you probably would have believed it. That the 10 points would span 1st to 17th- not so much!

Points being dropped by the big sides to supposed minnows every week.

In-fighting in Madrid, where Ramos shows the kind of leadership and maturity you need at a time like this.

He really is an odious creep.
I hope he gets his just deserts soon ,a nice broken nose or a few teeth knocked out might teach him some manners.

lassykk · 22-10-2018 4:22pm

I can't stand Ramos but all he did was kick a football at him. Bit of an over reaction but not exactly newsworthy

There'd be people who would want him sacked for kicking a ball at a teammate.

LuckyGent88 · 28-10-2018 4:48pm

2 nil to Barca already. Second from the spot after ref went to VAR

28-10-2018 5:09pm

You've this weird situation now where the game isn't in available in pubs because nobody is going to fork out for Eleven for a small few games per season.

Was in a pub and loads were asking for it... Can't imagine many pubs subscribed.

ERG89 · 28-10-2018 5:21pm

This is on now :eek:
I thought it was on at 8 o'clock. F**K!

LuckyGent88 · 28-10-2018 5:29pm

Real all over Barca now. Modric unlucky not to level it

LuckyGent88 · 28-10-2018 5:50pm

Suarez adds a third so should rap it up for Barca

Agent Coulson · 28-10-2018 5:52pm

I wonder is Pochettino hoping to get a phone call from Madrid tonight.

ERG89 · 28-10-2018 5:56pm

Grand finish to get a hat trick. Ramos will likely ask for Lopetegui to get sacked before full time

LuckyGent88 · 28-10-2018 5:58pm

Suarez hat trick to finish the match. Who will be the new real manager?

Would be the wrong choice. Too conservative for Madrid.

I'd say we'll see someone like Hierro, at least to the end of the season.

Yeah its all over Spain Conte is joining.

Bale as a wing back now maybe lol.

I bet he is hoping they get in a temp, I doubt Levy would let him walk mid-season.

What a disastrous few months for Lopetegui. Kicked out of the Spain job after the Real Madrid announcement and then turning them into also rans.

chopperbyrne · 29-10-2018 10:54am

What's so odd about Madrid for me right now is that they are the kings of marquee summer signings, especially in World Cup years, but not this year.

They sell Ronaldo, and don't replace him.

Have to assume they wanted Mbappé, but PSG can afford to simply say no.

ebbsy · 29-10-2018 11:34am

Conte is the right guy.

And Ronaldo was never going to be replaced easily. If at all.

Harry Palmr · 29-10-2018 11:36am

Mbappe will go to Spain in the summer but will it be Real?

Suarez looked very sharp yesterday ,looks like he could be returning to form after a few years off the boil.

Mr.Nice Guy · 29-10-2018 8:55pm

Goes to show how silly the talk was of Modric deserving the Ballon d'Or ahead of Ronaldo. The best player in the world should not have his team sitting 9th after 10 games, and on the receiving end of a 5-1 spanking to their main rivals.

Ronaldo meanwhile has helped Juve to a record-setting start in Serie A.

The difference between greats and GOATs.

Modric looks burnt out .
To be honest he looked burnt out in the knockout stages of the World Cup .
He needs a rest .

retalivity · 29-10-2018 9:49pm

Madrid had briefed that they would bring the former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, who they contacted over three weeks ago, but talks stalled on Monday. Although there is no definitive decision, there was little optimism that a deal would be done with the Italian. The reason for that is not yet clear, but Madrid captain Sergio Ramos had made it clear that he did not welcome the prospect. Asked about the prospect of a manager like Conte with “mano dura” – an iron fist – arriving at the Bernabéu, Ramos replied: “Respect is earned, not imposed.”

It's only a 6.99 a month so it's not like it'd break the bank. I think a bigger problem is that there isn't a smart tv app for it yet, can't see too many places messing about with a smartphone app and a chromecast.

MD1990 · 30-10-2018 12:33am

Modric surely cannot win the Ballon D'or.

Good World Cup & CL but poor on La Liga. Not consistent enough.

They need to make a signing of that sort of level.

And Mbappe would be much better than Neymar imho.

Mr.Nice Guy · 30-10-2018 1:52am

I'd say the chances of PSG letting Mbappe go any time soon are slim to nil. And I don't see why he would want to at this moment. He is a Parisien don't forget, so he's surrounded by his family and friends where he is, and if Neymar goes then he will be the face of the club, likely be given a new contract and thus become the highest earner - probably in world football. He's already the darling of his national side, and he's challenging for silverware on all fronts. That's a wonderful position for a guy his age to be in.

Really the only incentive to go would be to test himself in a more competitive domestic league, but he can always do that eventually. Time is on his side. Ronaldo went to Madrid at 23 or 24, while Mbappe is still only 19. I reckon he will be at Paris for a few more years before he decides to make the move. There's no need for him to rush.

I think Neymar will be the one to go to Madrid. I reckon the reason Madrid didn't make any big deals this past summer is because they're preparing a giant bid for him in 2019 since they knew Paris wouldn't let him go after just 2/3 of a season with them. Reports suggest he is receptive to a return to Spain too.

As regards Eleven Sports, does anyone know how they're doing as regards subscriber numbers?

StringerBell · 30-10-2018 2:18am

Having just come back from Paris it is clear how much PSG value Mbappe, in the pictures and promo material of the club he is front and centre rather than Neymar.

I can't see Mbappe going anywhere anytime soon.

Another big performance from him as he gets a late winner. He's stepped up in a big way in Messi's absence.

Mr.Nice Guy · 04-11-2018 11:17pm

Betis vs Celta Vigo sounds like it was a belter. Betis led 2-0, the away side turned it round to lead 3-2, Canales then gets a late equaliser as it ends 3-3.

Maxi Gomez got 2 of Celta Vigo's goals despite being only on for the last 30 minutes. That's 6 goals, 4 assists for him in 9 games. Only 22 years old too. He looks like Uruguay's next striking sensation. Big club needs to snap him up sharpish. Mentioned a few weeks back that I think he'd be a good signing for Chelsea.

irishguitarlad · 11-11-2018 5:05pm

Betis winning 0-2 in the Nou Camp, best half of football we've played this season. Barca will probably come back in the second half.

irishguitarlad · 11-11-2018 6:10pm

YESSSS, what a win!! 3-4 in the Nou Camp. Beat the officials as well. Carvalho and lo Celso were immense and what a goal by Joaquín!!

Mr.Nice Guy · 11-11-2018 6:16pm

Wow, that's a hell of a result. Setien must be a strong candidate to be a Barcelona coach down the line.

Mr.Nice Guy · 13-11-2018 9:28pm

Solari has been given the Madrid job until 2021.
