Real Madrid Thread [2008 - 2009]

I think the end of session will be decisive when we play you, sevilla, valencia and villareal back to back. You have a same schadule, so I think last 6 or 5 weeks will be crucial.

Agree. I think itll go down to the last game, or 2nd to last to decide the champs. At least we have good drama in La liga unlike other leagues we know. The last 2 years were as dramatic as can be and this year may live up to those.

last year you became champion with 3 or 4 match to go, was it dramatic?

but EPL and Serie A ' champions were not clear till last seconds!!!!1

Yeah cause until the last 6-7 rounds they had something like 10+or 11+points and before Atletico match (lost 2-4) we were at only 2 points in their back.

I just read an article today, it says calderon was not that bad and his changes in real was successfull.

summary:

First, he ended barca dominance with not signign great superstars just team players

second, he was brave enough to sack shouster before el clasico and he signed good players for real in January, diarra and huntelaar

also he signed series of good talents like m.diarra, ramos, marcelo, gago, higuain.

and it also mentioned van nistelrooy's impact on real is like eto'o's on barca, so take that into account for real earlier issues

so what's your idea?

I think that is pretty spot on. Cant argue with facts. I am extremely happy that he sacked Schuster before el clasico. Schuster was a cancer to our team. His negative - passive attitude and lack of motivation, passion did us no good. In came Juande and we look like atotally different team. I just wish we had Juande since the beginning. It could be the big difference in what happens this season. However, Calderon, he is man of little to no integrity. Dishonest and dirty. If he were a player he'd be the one with the most dives. He also has a huge mouth and puts many people in uncomfortable situations (i.e: Unsettling players like Guti with his declarations that he is an eternal promise, Putting Robinho on the trade block for Ronaldo) and creates a circus atmosphere (i,e: Ronaldo saga, etc.). He also has promised a whole lot and has little to show for it. Kaka? Ronaldo? etc. His way of going about things has been his biggest weakness. If he does things with integrity and respect he could have probably accomplished a few more things. He wanted so badly to be the next Florentino and that isnt happening, wasnt happening. Im glad he's gone. I want Florentino back along with Zizou as Sporting Director.

It was dramatic. The whole run leading up to those last matches were dramatic. I don't remember Serie A last year for some reason, which is weird. I was referring to other leagues where the champ ran away with it.

OK, looks like this thread is a bit more mature and back on track now. I welcome all you Barca fans and other fans to talk football. These are public forums. Just please, if you bait us, youll get what youre looking for. I really dont like getting dirty and hate every time I do it. Lets respectfully disagree

Good......alright, for one day i am an Atleti supporter, rather for 90 minutes, but I am well aware they are called Patetico Madrid for a reason, they cant never deliver on the big stage, so I fully expect them to lose, as a matter of fac I had more hope of Espanyol pulling a result last week than I do of Atleti doing anything.....this thing will have to get posponed for another week, cause Barca is not losing today..


I also have to point out again, what a great signing Lass has been, the guy is just amazing, he is the type of player we have been needing since Makelele, however we need to be clear; we missed Gago tremendously yesterday and it showed, I think one of the very positive things about this season has been the emergence of Gago as a world class holding mid, if his passing upped just a little bit more he could be a world beater.....

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

I predict 0-3 Barca. Minimum. Pathetico fans will wave hankies and well...after the game we'll hear more of "Aguero to Inter" talk. I think I read this story before.

 

[Siawash]

Aguero to anywhere*^

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

Didnt see it but goal taken away frm Heitinge. I logged on late. So far, sme story. Barca will score at least 2 or 3 more. 2-1 at the break.

 

[Dytza]

I was not offside there, but I said this already. It was not an "intentive" mistake. The shot was very strong and even a hawkeye could have make a mistake.

Just saw the "goal". Was clearly onside. But maybe from the refs angle it looked otherwise? Don't know how it's possible though. My issue is that the ref had to have been in doubt about it being offside. And he chose to take the goal away. Whatever. We know how bad Spanish refs are. BTW, that Forlan goal was a stunner.

Im gonna take a nap now. No sense in watching Atletico getting slaughtered in the second half. I have a game today and need the rest after last night.

 

[KingPaulV]

yeah patetico on its wat to underachieving again.....dont know why I even had any hopes....Mallorca has a better shot of beating barca....as a side note...no matter what the Barca fans say Barcelona is in a slump!

 

[Dytza]

2-2 to shut up this ****!

 

[KingPaulV]

oops!, i hope they keep it up...ima keep talking them down....lol

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

2-2 to shut up this ****!

Talking to me?

Anyway, should have been 3-2 but....

 

[KingPaulV]

probably me...hehehe

 

[Dytza]

Talking to me?

Yeah but don't take it like an insult I wanted to say that there's no need for those discussions because Atletico won't play for our victory. Again, on't take it like an insult or something like this

 

[KingPaulV]

yup, patetico gets me all interested...Forlan misses a sitter and then Henry scores...typical Patetico

 

[OrgulloVikingo]

Yeah but don't take it like an insult I wanted to say that there's no need for those discussions because Atletico won't play for our victory. Again, on't take it like an insult or something like this

No worries. 3-2 barca. Henry on the counter. Damn ref! Man what a match. End to end stuff. Chances for everyone.
3-3 Forlan penalty! 4-3 in reality but...
