Hey all: I may or may not be around for the match because of the personal life, so if you’re up for running this liveblog, let me know at team[at]barcelonafootballblog[dot]com and I’ll get you set up, even if you’ve never done it before. If you have, well, then we’re in business.
Has anyone read this article? It’s one of the funniest in goal.com!

So this is a gallery of some pretty girls trying out to be Barça cheerleaders. What’s noteworthy is not actually the women, but the fact that on the side there’s a typo: Casting cheesleaders? Haha.
There’s also a typo on EMD’s article about RM: Pellegini (missing the R).
damn. so i’m either that doll from saw tonight(i have his cheeks but not his cleft chin, i’ll have to shadow that in), teen wolf in his basketball outfit w/a hint of multiple sclerosis, or now a barca cheesleader. decisions. decisions.
poor inginiero. he never shoulda left villarreal. aragones next? rafa benitez? real needs to start playing mahamadou over lass.
hey i can run the liveblog if you like, also RM down to 10 men against getafe. albiol sent off for shirt pulling.
i almost feel sdorry for rm. almost.
Looks like nothing good is going to happen for EE, feel sorry for Albiol… Would definitely helped Valencia to a better position this time because all they lack is defense! At the same time I remember Perez face & seems like every thing’s all right, after all this is justice to football
Albiol gets a stright red card at minute 28!
The best part is that now their backline is:
Arbeloa-Pepe-SergioRamos-Marcelo
What is up with these crazy tarjetas? Albiol and Marcelo and Xabi?
To be fair, the ref hasn’t given a yellow to any of the Madrid players that have dove in the box.
Some body has good stream for Juventus match?!? Wanna watch the match for Luca Cigarini
I want me some Albin in this game.
Woot… commentators just said he was warming up…
LOLz. RM is playing like 10 times better after the Albiol red card.
They always play better after getting a player sent off. I remember last year it would happen and then they would go on to win. But hey, this is a brand new season, so you never know.
Getafe would go a long way in making people forget about their obnoxious BURGER KING sponsor if they could pull out a win today.
Say what you will about it… But I REALLY wan’t me a whopper right now.
I’m so easily influenced
gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today
I just saw pictures of the Getafe shirts…oh my GOD! HAHAHA!
You can pull the shirt over the head and suddenly you’re THE KING!!!!!
Hey, HEY!!! Leave the Burger King shirts alone! Those things are awesome.
Kaka is seeing acres of open field now that they are playing for the counter. This is when he is at his best.
Damn you Casillas!
This game is crying out for some Albin.
word. Thats what i was saying a while ago.
commentators said he was warming up around the 40th minute mark, so he might start the half…
soldado hat trick anyone?
Damn you Albiol.. why did I put you in my Fantasy League team? x)
Is this game as exciting as last season?
I know this may be the wrong place to ask.But ummm do any1 have a link to EE games???
I don’t think this is the wrong place to ask.
but, i am watching it on TV, so
rojadirecta.com is your best bet
lol…just making sure..but thanks doh

Wrong place to ask ? Are you kidding me ? Mwahahah , barcelona fans are obsessed with real madrid so no my friend this is very much the right place to ask
They say Albin is getting ready to enter.
Raul, Van Nistelrooy, and Gago warming up.
yup, albin is on for Boateng.
I love Nistelrooy. But can’t cheer for him
FUCK! Higuain just scored.
Ugh. Just saw that. Dumb Getafe. That’s what they get for being all flopsy on the edge of their own box.
that was some terrible marking. Just Terrible.
fucking shit. higuain.
higuain scores
Getafe plays really bad since the sent-off. I have only watched since minute 30, but I have seen several chances for Real and the lead is actually deserved…
Blasphemy!
just kidding, Madrid always play better with 10 damn them… fuck… another onee!
I expect Madrid to play defensive now. Probably Gago will come on, and they will play three DMs Alonso-Lass-Gago.
WTF… Higuain again… 2-0 with 10 men
Concede two goals with a man-advantage that started in minute 28? Solo en La Liga…
el pipita otra ves
hell didn albin start in the 1st place. never trust michel.. 2-0
Hahahaha! Higuain definitely gets super powers when a red card is shown to RM! It is clear what Maradona should do to win the world cup. He should just have somebody get sent off at which point Pipita’s superpowers will kick in.
i thought maradona shooting himself in the head was the only way for argentina to win the world cup?
How about starting Henize and Higuain together
albin is freakin’ great for Getafe and the mighty Burger King jerseys
I love how Getafe always tease us with their “feisty” starts to the games, but in the end, they always bend over and take it.
Wow, Getafe kicks ass^^ It’ a derby, they are one man more but they play absolutely crappy…
So, if we lose today, the leadership would change hands?
we won’t lose today…
Pipita is going like “you really want to keep starting the Frenchman with the shitty hair cut over ME!?!?”
HAHA!
well its true higuain is x10 better than benzema
shitty hair cut?
how about shitty soccer player.
Oh, common Soldado, at least pretend like you want to score!
He “passed it lazily past the outside of the post”
Getafe sucks. Tried to watch some, but couldn’t stand it when I saw them playing as if they were a man down. And that’s the 8th-place side?
Okay now that Benzema is taken out, if Madrid drop points today they sure are gonna sack Pellegrini no waiting even until CL mid week match!!
these are exigent circumstances. i think a tie and he still gets to keep his job, atleast til midweek.
Iker in St. Iker mode, Higuain in Super Pipita Clutch mode….
Yup. Getafe are fucked.
40 minutes til game time, are the line-ups out?
Higuain hits far post…
Can we please get Pipita a cape?
I hate RM but damn, I LOVE Pipita as a player. Dude is the shit.
Dude, i hate MAdrid and Argentina, and still love Higuain!
I always like watching getafe play vs EE
PS happy halloween guys
Valdes
Puyol-Pique-Txigrinski-Abidal
Xavi-Busi-Keita-
Messi-Ibra-Iniesta
i picked the yaya over bouquets damn.
Official as per FCBarcelona.cat
Busquets makes me nervous. And no Yaya?
“El salvador de Pellegrini.” Well fuck him….
Getafe’s defense looks terrible against the break.
*
Valdés; Puyol, Piqué, Chygrynskiy, Abidal; Busquets, Xavi, Keita; Iniesta, Messi e Ibra
Omg Getafe are so shit. Why do teams always do this against Madrid. I guarantee Getafe dont play like this when they play us. They could have won this game!
they didnt, remember how fortunat we were to not be 2-0 down before ibra and messi scored.
no. because stupid goltv’s satellite feed went down.
nice pass, almost, by the coach’s son.
Freaking Casillas.
Freaking Casillas….
We may bitch about having payed 12 million Euros for Hleb, and getting nothing out of him…
But Real payed 60something million Euros for Kaka, and he hasn’t been that much more productive than Hleb. He just takes up space really.
Same goes for Benzema. 35 million Euros, and they would have been better off keeping Negredo.
This reminds me. Why is Kaka starting over Diego for Brazil? At some point performances have to count more than one’s name.
True… The thought os that Negredo bitch returning to EE sens few shivers down my spine, I know I’m exaggerating but he’s sure better than Benzema for them! And I thought Benzema is an Ibra in making for EE looking at his pre-season form!!
Put cascuero on and lets see if pepe hasanoter episode
Raul comes on, Higuain gets his deserved applause.
yes pipita out.
since Osasuna wears Red Jerseys, do we get to use our Yellow ones?
that’s a good question. they brought good luck last year.
Do we even have any yellows left? I’m ashamed not to remember our third kit
Last year’s 2nd is always our 3rd for the current year.
Yellow, with red and blue stripe going down left side through crest. Very nice..
That’d be most excellent, but I imagine we’ll see our home colors, away.
Did Getafe vote against using fullbacks for defense?
It’s always 2 on 2 :S
Hey, hell of a goal this morning by He Who Is Not Coming in the Arsenal match.
I want us to destroy Osasuna. I do. An early goal will open the floodgates, I think.
As do all of us Kxevin, as do all of us.
watching Getafe and this shit performance puts me in the mood to watch good footy.
he who’s rumors sell mad newspapers for sport & emd, yup. i still think he can play the iniesta role.
I even named it: “that goal against spurs that made me so happy”
Things are looking up in Gunnerworld, indeed…a great performance from everyone, all errors early on were fixed by the second. Even Bendtner played well while he was on.
damn i don’t know if i should log in to do the liveblog or not, i have to go for part of the game :S
if andrew m isn’t in at 3:00 i will do it
I wish we had a B team in the league that comes to town and puts up a “fight” like what madrid ave going on here.Angel Torres must be pleased inwardly.
Crikey. Hell of a goal by Berbatov.
damn i missed it
Napoli hits back from being 2-0 down to lading 3-2!! Juventus, what’s up!? That’s why I said Barca & Sevilla have this huge burden of trying to curb the media-favorite, overrated EPL dominance! Two clubs representing 2 countries vs 4 clubs representing the vilan
i was gonna watch that after the barca game. geez.
I guess we should start putting *Spoiler Alert* before every score that we post..
Sorry Miguel, really didn’t want to spoil the fun! Might have been very interesting 2hours for you, I’m really sorry
I am not surprised that Getafe eventually layed down and showed their bellies. The Getafe management is heavily permeated by Madridistas (no kidding, their president is actually a Real Madrid member), and many of the Real Madrid reserves are actually signed for Getafe.
Not to mention Míchel is manager
when is the cover it live starting? its 9 minutes til noon
How’s the liveblog coming? It doesn’t seem to be up. I can do it if Corrine can’t do it, I’ll be here the whole time, just only paying half attention to the blog.
i don’t think isaiah would mind me emailing you the info. what’s your email?
i might get banned for giving away precious login info but i’ll take the risk!!!!!
“Two clubs representing 2 countries vs 4 clubs representing the vilan”
What are you talking about? Four clubs? As far as I’m concerned, CLAM is one, homogeneous entity
Then I guess you didn’t really watch the ‘supposedly’ CL final between ManUtd & Chelsea!!
It was a sham!! jajajaja
i forget who asked, if we lose tonight, will we still be 1st place.
it depends on the score. Since we are currently tied on points with Madrid, but have the game to play.
if we lose 1-0 to osasuna, we will still be 1st.
but we are going to win. so… yeah…
its on its on. sign in already.
nope… can’t sign in…
I don’t post scores, because I am the king of DVR world control, and wouldn’t want to mess anything up for anyone else.
like fabregas in that nike commercial
Yellow jerseys! Yay!
YES!
What’s the story with the LiveBlog? Is someone running it?
Andrew M said he would, but hasn’t launched it yet.
Aranda + Pandiani, a big challenge for the two center backs we started. Hopefully we will always have either Puyol or Abidal as a third CB.
Resting Yaya is good, he will play a deciding role in the CL.
Aye yay yaye! Who’s the girl in the blue on GolTV? “Aye!”
My apologies, everyone. I will set up another one and make it live immediately. Stand by for a new post in less than 5 minutes. Again, my apologies on behalf of the rest of the team.
Dima and pique is a slooww partnership, i hope we’ll be fine
everyone we are up an running. New post above this one with the real liveblog.
