So is Pele.

And there isn't a less respected opinion in world football.

Diego may some stupid shit. Pele is just weird.

 

[Tommy Smith]

El Hadj Diouf ... One of the 100 greatest living footballers!

 

[Helmet Man]

Yeah but Zidane doesn't say stupid shit like Maradona and Pele do.

The things Zidane says makes sense. He has a good take on things.

 

[Twizzle]

Some of the shit he said about Bale in Marca was nothing short of tapping him up.

How the f**k he got away with it I dont know.

Madrid derby this weekend.

 

[Twizzle]

and its on Live on Fox Sports

 

[Bulldog Force]

That's 7/7 - Barca win, and a win for Atlético Madrid over their cross-town rivals sees them keeping up with Barca.

Real still coming 3rd on 16 points.

 

[aqua_duck]

No bullshit reffing to help the Francos this week

 

[BDR]

So many chances spurned for a goal in the 2nd half, from both teams!

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

So Atleti are 8 points in front of the Francos now?

Ancelotti will get sacked this season if they keep this up.

 

[Big Sam]

That was a great match and fantastic to see it in HD. Well done Fox.

Madrid's now 5 points behind the new big 2.

Madrid just aren't coherent enough in attack. Benzema looked out of place, Di Maria once again inconsistent. Illaramendi not showing why RM paid $40 million for him. And with Bale you just have a sense that when he is at peak fitness he will fit well into RM. To me he seems like he will play like Ronaldo except on the right hand side of the field. He gets shots away and certainly doesn't look out of place.

When Morata came on he looked at home. His positioning his good and had about two good chances compared to Benzema's zilch throughout the whole game. I dunno if our problems will fix but we just aren't playing enough balls through the middle. That's where we are missing Ozil imo. Also i would like for Ancelloti to try out Casemiro.

We are just not playing good enough.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Selling Ozil was downright stupidity. Isco is brilliant but offers a different game, and definitely cannot provide the same level of service needed for the likes of Ronaldo & now Bale as well.

Should make a hard play for Mata seeing as he's on the outer at Chelsea, given that he's probably the player who most resembles Ozil.

 

[Helmet Man]

I think buying a quality striker should be our main priority. But yes Mata would be a good signing.

I don't think Strikers are the problem.

i agree morata was awesome when he came on he needs to start cant believe the real madrid fan booing him when he came on :shock:

 

[Helmet Man]

Barcelona were keen on signing Gareth Bale for 60 million euros a bit over a year ago to fill the LB position.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Well Barca's perfect start to the season has come to an end on Day 9, drawing 0-0 with Osasuna. Atletico Madrid, currently playing Espanyol (the 2nd Barcelona team), have the chance to go to the outright lead. 0-0 after 26 mins.
