La Liga 2018/19 Discussion

people make fun of Duncan Castles, and he is a Mourinho shill, but i think he is well informed in general

there is no difference, you just make that silly theory evolve and change when it suits you lol

and having fun while doing so

hans is right, there's a difference between those two. Perez has a problem with black players with black-sounding names, but not with black players with Portuguese sounding names.

That's why he had no problem buying Vinicius, Rodrygo and Militao but he didn't even entertain the thought of having a player named Pogba or Ndombélé in the team.

If Makelélé was named Makelelilson or Mikalinho, Perez wouldn't have sold him.

Also, this is just a theory.

Vinicius basically sounds like a Roman legion commander

Bayern sounds like a fortress, but we all know it isn't.

"In 85 AD, Vinicius the Younger had managed to conquer large parts of Skythia strerching to what is now the Kazakh desert, but problems with supplies forced him to turn back without being able to install a sustainable occupying force"

this is a highly stupid theory, i am surprised intelligible people are entertaining it, good lord

Florentino Perez has a problem with good looking portuguese men, look how he got rid of Cristiano

let's just wait and see shall we

I'm sure Rabiot can do just as good a job as Ndombele

there is no wait and see here, find a new slant lol

And we all know who didn't send him those supplies. It was Lucius Aemilius Florentinus perseus who thought he had enough supplies and there was no need to spend more.

That's great, because I can definitely see Ndombele coming to Madrid and Rabiot going to Bayern. Nothing for you to complain about then.

HEY!

I'm a Real Madrid fan now! We will win the league! I know we will! 3 games to go! We can do this! Vamos!

Allez Les Blancs!

Any team with white french speaking players beware, Florentino is coming for them.

looks to me like he just hates the French

I just realized that schadenfreude is "skadefryd" in Norwegian. Somehow, I assumed that was a word that was exclusive to German.

Same word in Danish. I never use the word unless it comes up in cross word puzzles though

Who the hell invited Hans to GL Madrid?

I did, it's my fault, im rescinding his invitation

As long as he isn't invited to realmadridistas.net

Spanish FA confirm changes to the format of Copa del Rey and Super Cup

• Copa del Rey is single-match format in every round except two-leg semi-finals
  
• Spanish Super Cup is now four-team competition to be held every Janaury
  

The Spanish FA (RFEF) approved changes to the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup formats for the 2019-20 season and beyond, in a meeting on Monday. The Copa del Rey switches to a single match format, with the exception of the semi-finals, which remain a two-leg tie. Teams involved in the Spanish Super Cup - Barcelona, Valencia, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid - will not have to participate in the first two rounds of the Copa. The final is on April 18, 2020.
The Spanish Super Cup will change from a match between the league winners and the cup winners to a four-team competition. Both Spanish Cup finalists and the top two in La Liga will participate. If a team is in the cup final and the top two in La Liga, the place would pass down to the next team in the league table.

The Super Cup will take place in January rather than at the start of the season, with the semi-finals on Jan. 8 and 9 and the final on Jan. 12.
