hahahah ! Irony

lol youre drunk

you're just a shitty real madrid fan who is ashamed of all the abuse and that you had to fire Benitez.

stfu

wtf did just say??

Joke of a league ? I honestly think Barcelona can easily trash chelsea or any team in the PL way way worse than this.

Lol. If Barcelona and Real Madrid were in the Preimere League, things would still be the same. They will comfortably sit on the first two places of the table.

For sure. Bilbao, 9th in La Liga is easily a lot better than the top teams in the EPL, a league with 3 times the revenue of La Liga.

Bilbao meeting à top flight english team soon if they coule make it that far in cl, Barça trashed roma 6-1 and Madrid humiliated shakthar not known for Being small teams While mighty big 4 struggled vos Zagreb Porto olympiakos Ajax Kiev wolfsburg.... What a competitive big four, Wake me pu when england got a cl contender or even a semi-finalist level. League of average teams drawing eachothers and Being proud of their inconsistence thankfully there IS cl to compare.

Tiki is back. Yawn. What happened to the mighty Sevilla and Valencia in CL? Did they even win a single match? 3 of 4 English teams went through and wouldn't say the struggled! Arsenal trashed Olympiakos when they needed too etc. Chelsea in poor form beat Porto. And do you even think for a second that Bilbao would have a chance against a english top flight team? Sure..

well, so much for epl drawing so much revenue but no results in champions league

its not like they are 4th and 5 th this season, lets say they have Chelsea form atm... You sure know something.

Lol. They can only think about the revenue PL makes, they wouldn't go as far as talking about the title race because they know exactly that PL is just a bunch of mediocre teams wrapped in an expensive gift box.

how many EPL teams win the CL title in last 15 years? lets say MU, chelsea, and liverpool. germany?

@tiki_taka Do you think that Bilbao should get that red from so early? Wasn't this the matchkiller ? In BPL if you face a 9th spot team you might as well feel some challenge Bilbao was the perfect game to see how good Barca is at the moment but a red card just killed everything intersting this game had. Bilbao was there only for their obligation to finish the 90 minutes game that actually ended at minute 5.
Barcelona could win this without those matchkilling decisions.

Suarez was going free with the goal when Iraizoz tackled him. Of course that's a red. And Suarez did not commit a foul before that. This is a contact sport, not ballerina.

@ Ricky

I disagree. We see games ruined all the time by this harsh rule. They're effectively over as a contest.

Fair enough if its a cynical foul and the keeper goes out of his way to impede the player but if its a legitimate attempt to go for the ball, like I think he was doing here, then a yellow card and a penalty is enough punishment I reckon.

If its the last defender fine but a goalie is in a make or break situation, they should be given more leeway.

Yes, Barcelona would've probably won anyway but Bilbao, or most teams for that matter, don't stand a chance if they are down a goal and a man after what is essentially a mistimed tackle. Just my opinion.

@colkurts8

According to the rules as they are now, that's a red, because it's a clear goal attempt. What is it that you can't get through your head?

If you re-read my post you'll see that I don't blame the referee but the rule itself. I don't agree with it for the reasons I mentioned, particularly when the goalkeeper is concerned.

They made this rule stricter only recently if I remember right with little allowance for referee discretion and I think its to the game's detriment.

Szczęsny fouling Robben in the 2013/2014 Champions League was another case. Yes, a mistimed and clumsy tackle but clearly a genuine attempt to go for the ball. Penalty and a sending off? C'mon, too harsh. It totally killed the tie.

Callate- I N D I O.

What the hell are you talking about? :D He barely touched him. Not a foul in a million years.

Serious gonna miss him

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i just saw that as well. FCUK. hes our best at the moment

neymar or messi?

Info from...? Total bullshit.

biggest lie, you created bob, fred, joshy and john. #troll

Bob you hade wrong ITs actually bale thats got à calf injury for 8 weeks

yeeeaaah sure

That wasn't a foul. At least not in La Liga, maybe in England your players are pussies.

Not really a faul. Just some really weak defending and shielding the ball. The red card was definitly harsh. You being a fan of the rougher EPL should be used to seing player be physical to get the ball.

@raimondo

Cearly you don't know anything. Of course it was a red, because Suarez would of been free with the goal.

football is a contact sport

Ricky and you havent heard about double punishment clearly. A penalty is more than enough. Sending out a player especially a few minutes in changed the game. It's a penalty and yellow.

he grabbed the defender and pulled him back, how the hell is that not a foul?!

Marcus2011, don't argue on it, the incident not very obvious compared to John Terry goal at 97.45 where extra time only 7 min and even offside.

Chelsea spend 200m to win EPL and UCL...Man U spend 200m to get 4th place and compete Europa League..d ick

@naz table says otherwise for chelsea

"That wasn't a foul. At least not in La Liga, maybe in England your players are pussies."

Hahahaha. Well.. Ok.

Have to agree with you about the tourists. Especially chinese and indians as you said. Messi fanboys..

That's a problem we don't (yet?) have here

Joselu, that may be true. but sometimes when you're a foreigner and visiting a place, you generally behave with more inhibition than when you are at home. I don't think the generalizations you made would be true at all if you were visiting those countries. You make a valid point though, about the lack of noise/support.
