going out on a edge - Madrid to win next 9 games.

Not as much as you said !! They played well in the second half when we were running out of charge.

Now it’s getting interesting; 5 down 4 to go!!!!!
When are you guys going to recognize that I do know a bit about what I predict?

Adan

Higuain

Granero

Anyway awesome front 4, great back 4 and a 'BOSS' midfield

I assume Granero comes on for Alonso after half time. Also expect Albiol for Lass or even possibly Altintop. Mou is conducting auditions for Copa games line-up!!

If we do the expected (4-0) then we truely can say we have incredible depth on this team. Only players without a defined "fit" are Granero and Altintop.

Not only did I give starting line-up hours before game, I also gave the half time substitutions. And re the score – at least I was correct re half time score.

In fact, 3 of them barely play, 1 is just returning from injury for his first Madrid start, and the other is playing RB for the second time this season. All these 4-0 projections are waaaay too optimistic. We may actually lose this game.

Cohesive play is just as important as talent.

Sports, I don’t think you appreciate just how good our depth is this year. That line-up in second half is our likely line-up for the upcoming copa games minus either Benz or Higgy with Morata likely starting. If Carvaho and Kaka are recovered I would expect them in the 2nd half.

Sporting, Gijon and Barca will be challenges. And thats saying it lightly.

Great performance. After the first 20 mins, we put it in cruise control. A lot of rusty players as a i mentioned in the other thread in the 2nd half.

Don't mean to focus on Albiol... but there's nothing comforting about him being in a game lol.

Sporting o Gijon - lo misma biña - not this year.

How long is the record for most consecutive la liga wins?

15 wins
we almost beat that record under Juande Ramos!

We'll beat Pathetico and Gijon with the current form. that's for sure

Nah, it's 16 - Barcelona - last year.

Im afraid Bill is right, last year Barca broke a record from Di Stefano's Madrid IIRC.

Bill

Just because Bill predicted it, we are going to win all of them.

I hate the fact that Gijon is probably gonna start the "park the bus, with your lives" trend, against bigger teams.
Anyway 4 games left, winning 3 three consecutive matches and drawing with farca, is good for us imo, in that state.

Then it's time for us to right a wrong!

drawing with refrelona is good?

HELL NO
if there is ever a perfect time to beat the hell out of them ,its now.
we shouldnt afford drawing this match.

We shouldnt be thinking about drawing, we have to go for the win.

I expect us to win every game we play.. The only tricky ones are of course against Barca but beside that we're superior to every other team hands down.. Just a matter of going out and getting the job done

2 more games until Clasico

Bill

Our hardest test is the next 2 games imo

no alonso vs gijon, that is hard

Now 6, we wait now til next weekend for a week of futbol left to go.

Oct 29 - @ R. Sociedad 0-1
Nov 2 - @ Lyon (CL) 0-2
Nov 6 - Osasuna 7-1
Nov 19 - Valencia 2-3
Nov 22 - D. Zagreb (CL) 2-6
Nov 26 - Atletico 4-1
Dec 4 - @ Sporting
Dec 7 - @ Ajax (CL)
Dec 10 - Barcelona

These next games will be tough, but I still believe I'm right on with my prediction. Although Gijon are difficult at home, Mou hasn't said anything this year to upset them and even though Xabi is out, Sahin is ready to step into his place. The point advantage over Barca is too importnat for us to slip up.

Ajax at home will also be hard, but they are virtually secured in 2nd, so I expect the better team to win.

And finally the classico. We have the momentum, confidence and home stadium so although it will be extremely difficult I'm still out on the edge saying we will win.

Looking beyond the classico, we have 2 copa games and in between we play in Sevilla. Back to my original prediction of 10 wins, I'm going to refer back to it (I had the wrong date for the first Copa game) and say we will win the 10th. I don't want to predict for the Sevilla game so I'll rest my predictions upon the 10th win.

Now are you guys going to try to make money on my predictions!!!!!!!!!

I predict a win but I don't pretend to be able forecast scores. I have been lucky a couple of times in this regard, but come on now I'm not a Paul.

If you insist I would say 3-1, but it's just a guess.

Not that bad

Bill

Futbol_bill is officially a sage

yes but really come on guys. if you didnt see us winning those games im not even sure what to say

every game we play this season is winnable
