El clasico 15/16 Thread

[RealGunner]

First Clasico on 21st November. Saturday 17:15 BST.


Messi is 90% likely to play. But since he is coming back from a long-ish injury, most likely he'll be on the bench or if he starts then he will be walking around damaging the brutal partnership of Suarez and Neymar.


Benzema is still working on his mix-tape from is lawyers office so not sure if he will be back or not. Ronaldo going through the worst form of his life atm but he will step up 100% after the release of his blockbuster film.

We're gonna get our buttholes torn apart with Navas injured & Lil Benzema out of the game.

CR-Bale upfront

Just give Barca the 3 points already.

That part in bold made me laugh myself to tears. Funny. Painfully truthful, but funny

Calm down. Your entire squad has prepared for this game for 2 weeks. None of your key players are on intl. duty. Ronaldo, Benzema, Kroos, Modric ... Hames aside, all left out of their national team squads. Meanwhile Mascherano, Alves, Neymar playing in South America and returning 3 days before the game, Busquets already feeling discomfort and getting subbed and Messi coming back (or not) after 2 months. But yeah, Navas injured will get you destroyed.

You remind of the guy who predicted prior to the Sevilla game that we would win 1-4.

[Pedram]

Not this reverse jinx BS again.

I'm gonna be bold and say we'll win 2-1.

Contrary to last derbies (clasico is a fake name imported from Argentina, historically it was always called derby or just Madrid - Barça), I think it will be a boring game cause of Borenitez.

I think we can't lose this, maybe we'll tie or win narrowly, but I can't see how we'd lose.

Harsh. Since he cut his hair Ramos isn't that ugly anymore.

Barca are the favorites for this but if James plays I still see Real winning, Messi or no Messi. Even in poor form and a decimated squad I think they have what it takes to expose Barca who have impressed me even less this season.

[The Demon of Carthage]

Me Personally, I'm giving Barça the edge even though bar the attack, we have a better squad than them. The only factor that made me decide they're the favorites is Rafa. If Carlo was still in charge, I would've told you Barça have no chance.

impressed me even less this season.

You sir are baws, if a treble smashing all european top league winners doesn't impress you.
Tek a bow.

[MaraVilla]

He's talking about this season...

Before you put so much effort into a post like I that I recommend reading the message correctly

That EVEN implies you weren't impressed, or not much, with Barça in past seasons. Otherwise, you'd just say "I've not been impressed with Barça this season". Even makes it comparative, and mean that you weren't impressed last season and this time less.

I think it's like this, english speakers confirm.

[Curtinho]

I believe when he said 'even less' he was referring to Real Madrid, not Barcelona of previous seasons.

In fairness, I understood it exactly like free.

Also I'd like to know how Madrid impressed him this season (more than Barca).

Roncero is that extremely unstable reporter, right?

[Pedram]

You jelly Barca fans ?

Even with a defensive minded coach people still find Real Madrid more impressive than Barca.
