Visca vicsoc y Visca Barca!
Villareal is looking very sharp against Valencia. No score yet, but it can’t be long now.
Valencia score! Against the run of play…?
Goal Rossi! 1-1.
God, why didn’t he choose to be on the USA NT?! Ahhhhhhh
Terrible quality, but a golazo against Almeria from the past:

And guess who finished it off? 😀
Via barcastuff:
Valdes – Alves Puyol Fontas Maxwell – Xavi Mascherano Iniesta – Pedro Messi Villa
I’m glad Pique is not in the line-up and that sMasch is!
Fontas starting, Pique on the bench. I hope it works.
Official line-up: Valdes – Alves Puyol Fontas Maxwell – Xavi Mascherano Iniesta – Pedro Messi Villa
Nice avatar 😉
I hope it works too. If all else fails though, Bojan will save us! 😀
Fontas! sMasch! No LW Iniesta! Whoot!
Valdes
Alves – Puyol – Fontas – Maxwell
Xavi – Mascherano – Iniesta
Pedro – Messi – Villa
From barcastuff
Pep used Masch to sMasch and protect Fontas.
Knew Fontas had a good chance to start.
Is this us starting our contract renegotiations with Busi 🙂
It would’ve been the biggest surprise in History of Football if Pep put Afellay in the starting line-up.
DRAW !! Giuseppe Rossi equalizes !
It would’ve been to PSV certainly.
Its a good idea to play Masch at DM given that Fontas is starting. Masch naturally tends to play deeper than Busquets and will provide more central cover in front of Fontas.
For example, Masch tends to play very deep for Argentina and I think that’s likely in part to try to make up for the limitations of the CB playing behind him (especially demechelis).
Almeria is a poor team. It’s a good opportunity to get Fontas some experience. They are going to need a 5th CB. There’s no question about it. At the same time Almeria’s only chance to score will be off of counters and/or mistakes.
Playing CB for Barca is extremely difficult because of how high Pep wants his back line to play so that the team remains compact. The CB and full backs are put in dangerous positions where any mistakes they make can have significant consequences.
Excited to see Fontas play. Let’s hope Pep makes additional adjustments to try to take some pressure off him. Beside playing Masch and having him sit deep it might be a good idea to not have the full backs push up the pitch so aggressively.
about time andreu gets a chance, hope he has a good game
ZOMG FONTAS!!! 😀
This is Fontas’ chance to prove he is ready to play with the big boys. I hope he nails this.
What’s with the blue Valencia away jersey? Their previous black ones looked great.
Don’t know if anyone else here is a Liverpool fan, but they are pummeling West Ham 3-0.
And in the schadenfreude department, Chelsea lost to Birmingham today! 😀
The Villareal coach walks away at the end of the game and doesn’t shake the Valencia coach’s hand. Unai’s pissed!

This one is a few seconds behind.
YEAH! I’M SO HAPPY!
This match will be downloaded and properly drooled over.
now lets make a 2 minute highlight with those 8 goals. just to be brief. lol
And you guys said that Barca played better without me watching the match?! 😀
All credit goes to Isaiah of course 😀
Bojan: “I’m very happy. I’ve always known I’m able to play at Barça and games like these help to show it to the outside world.” [barcastuff]
Outside world = Kxevin? 😛
Just joking with ya, Kxevin. It’s just fun to bring out your non-existent bias.
Hahahaha!
Hopefully we draw another english team so we can hand out some more reminders later this season.Hate this disparity shit.why cant we just be good?
Because they’ll never be that good. Have you seen their NT recently, jordi 😉
You are hopelessly misguided if you think disparity is not a huge problem in La Liga. Barca could beat Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal all 5-0 in a week and it wouldn’t do a thing to prove that there wasn’t a problem of disparity in the league. This game was pathetic and while the team played well, it’s such a negative that this is even possible.
Sigh.
Look, it’s like this in EPL or another league not called the Bundesliga (although Stuttgart has had it’s share or 6 and 7-0.) as well. I’m tired of always making this argument, so I’ll just leave it at that.
^ this.
hercules?
Fontas must be grinning all over his face right now! He had such a good game! 😀
Oh, watching the replays, what a pass by Fontas to Pedro! Good game by him.
Absolutely. One of the best moments of the match for me.
Why I want Bilbao to win more than usual:
“It’s amazing how much venom ppl like Paul hold in their black hearts against a team like Real Madrid- a team which wears the white color- a symbol of purity and truth. Sometimes I pity these haters, God give them some sense! I’m sure they’ll repent in hell!”
Paul is the Bilbao blogger at the Athletic offside, by the way. A really good one at that.
PSV IS ON ESPN Deportes right now of anyone wants to see our new Ibra
Wow, Llorente almost scores in the 2nd minute. Vamos, Bilbao!!
Its always almost when teams play them 🙁
Dont watch the Madrid game guys. I guarantee it will make you feel shit. Its always “almost” for teams playing Madrid, then MAdrid go and score. Just enjoy our 8-0 win tonite and dont worry about Madrid, win or lose tonite WE HAVE TO BEAT THEM next week
max,vila,bojan r the motm.messi plyd as a poacher.didnt enjy this match.worst barca match iev ever seen.almeria was so so so poor.reminds me of derby county in the epl some years back.no players of that team cared apart from diego and piatti.0 8 but i didnt enjy that.the players definitely want lillo out.a sabotage?wt do u say?and i think no review is required,if must then only wid the rating of fontas
To each his own, but im still smiling mate 😀
Almeria was very poor, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t very good. We played well, there were lots of goals, what’s not to enjoy?
This is why we can’t sell dani…

yes we can beat the gunners.but at least they do try.did almerha try?they let them to be slaughtered which we accuse of some teams when they play against rm.barca plyd good though
Yess Llorente!!!!! goal!!! game on for EE!!
lol they almost didnt score that.
Thank you Fernando Llorente!
llorente scored.should i watch the match or not?
I never watched Madrid before 2day but when I did i notice they tend to play badly or draw!! lol so im betting on that streak to continue!
plz watch.llorente,munian,susaeta r awesome
🙂 🙂 🙂
llorente scored.should i watch the match or not?
Rm s 2nd gol is like usain bolt
Hey guys, hope you don’t mind if I give myself a little name change. 🙂
Man, oh, man, WHAT A GAME. Partidazo, I believe, is what they call it. And the scariest thing: we didn’t pull out of 1st-2nd gear.
Basically, the only thing I can reiterate is that pre-game, I, like others, was worried about not having Piqué in the back. But holy hell, Fontàs was highly impressive. Not just his defense, but his passing, as well. He was the one who hit that long ball to Pedro for the 5th. Incredible player.
Great game, great day. Vamos mi Barça campeon!!!
Los leones have played well enough that they deserve a draw, which means the game will end 5-2 >={.
So True 😀
anyone have a Sky stream for EE/Bilbao?
Anyone else felt bad for Diego Alves who looked like he wanted to just walk away after half an hour ?
He’s facing Barca, yet his teammates are shooting, providing assists, and scoring against him.
wow Ronaldo. his diving is getting worse and worse.
He should’ve fallen straight away. Not wait, run, can’t get to the ball, think, and then decides to fall.
Henok Goitom twitter:
“I have stared on a wall for 20min. My girlfriend is trying to talk to me but everything is on mute”
I feel kinda sorry for the guy.
Whoops. Wrong place. But I guess I’ll just repost this .gif to makes my comment relevant.

yet another soft penalty to Madrid. could i hate this team any more?
first spaniard to score for EE this season.jeje
no, pedro leon has scored 1 or 2
Why would Ramos take the penalty? surely Cristina should of taken it and sent it to the stands.
Told u guys… dont watch. The outcome is inevitable
wow, shitty keeping, disgusting.
Barcastuff
Official: Almeria coach Juanma Lillo has been dismissed after his team’s 0-8 defeat against Barcelona
Guess it was the final nail in the coffin for him.
I feel really bad for him, but it was going to happen whether we won 1-0 or 8-0. Inevitable.
irony is that pep guardiola considers lillo to be one of his greatest mentors
I told you that this sucker needed to practice his little jump punching air thing and now look…

Cristina got her hattrick…

hahaha.. 😀 😀
OMG thank you for that! Hilarious
Once again la liga is taking its normal shape as 3rd place Valancia is trailing top by 8 points!!! really hope this year the could have been closer than normal!
^ *Villarreal I mean
how do you rate such a game??
Come all you rambling boys of pleasure
and ladies of easy leisure
we must say ¡adiós! until we see
Almería
once
again!
CRonaldo has 14 goals, 4 from penalties.
Messi has 13 goals, 0 from penalties.
I’m still feeling bad for Lillo and Diego Alves. The goalkeeper conceded just 10 goals in 11 games, then his team’s defense decided to take a day off and we get 8 past him.
Messi got his hat trick, Fontas impressed, and Bojan scored. A BRACE. AND NO TAP-INS. Everyone seems ready for the clasico, where we will once again reaffirm: MESSI >>> CRon, Barca >>> EE.
