La Liga 2023/24

Looking at cancelo makes me very happy we got Mendy. Guys injured most of the time but at least when he's fit he does his job. Not sure what cancelo's role is on the field. Can't be defending because he sucks at it. Can't be attacking either as he is inconsequential.

Bellingham continues to be farsa's Boogeyman. I am most pleased.

Shame Xavi isn't staying. I really wished he'd be given a lifetime contract

As expected we get beat, what do ppl expect? Real are much better than us n its been the case for a few yrs, its a wonder n credit to our players who always manage to step up our game to try match them in classicos lately Also Real seem to cbf n make it hard for themselves often, need to be behind first b4 they really start to play, its a repetitive pattern for a quite a few yrs now.

Looking at some cules comments makes me embarrassed at times, like always criticizing our best players whenever they have a bad game lol, its funny. Like Raphinha is our best player after one game n then our worst the next n should be sold etc., constant criticism of our best players like Frankie n Lewand is also funny as... Its great to see likes of Yamal performing so well at this age consistently though, but the likes of Ferran n Felix really have to go, hope it happens in the summer pls?

Real definitely gonna continue their dominance in the next decade though Even the RB position looks good now with Lucus able to replace old Carvajal eventually

Oh gotta mention the usual ref favs Real get n them black voodoo magic luck XD I mean nice dive by Lucas for the pen, n then no goal line tech for that goal or no only determined by VAR when they couldnt find an inline angle to view it prolly? The usual bullying including injuring Frenkie n Vini provoking Kounde for no reason n apparently the ref just booked Kounde n no Vini? Wtf? XD Next decade arent gonna be fun for us

Someone should have told Fermin you do that sort of celebration in the 90th minute, not the 69th.

Because now he just looks stupid and it didn't even provoke much of a reaction. Maybe a "who the hell is him again?"

lol he was trying to create an iconic moment for himself. Its the social media age, youngsters are aware of the lasting effects of some of these pictures and shots....but Madrid wasn't having it. Honestly that never say die attitude is what I really love. And Madrid have not always had that, I'd say we really developed it in the last ten years. I hope that character trait never leaves us.

that atletico comeback in 2014 unlocked something special.

I love Xavi the player for most of my footballing watching life but the coach is a culmination of all his annoying quotes as a player.

Constant victimising of himself, blaming the refs and some large assassination against the club.

A bit comical how Barça are so far behind Madrid now :vagi:

I am not even moved by this anymore its become so commonplace

That’s my view as well!

Its all part of it, I'm 'happy' to accept that thats the reality of it since Flos n Real always had it, but then just imagining their advantage in addition to having by far the the best team in prolly the world from next season onwards, will make things even more insanely unfair XD

Just read that Xavi looks like staying after all, lol? Im actually happy to keep him considering we prolly cant afford a top manager n an overhaul anyway. Hes been a mixed bag, good in some things but bad in others, Im just worried his blind faith in some shit players... if he continues doing that, I will give on him also... otherwise just cut off the shit players n play the one good, not that hard? Although rumours are about more shit players like Olmo Top 4 finish n progress in the team building is all im asking for...

Was completely fine with it until I read the part about purposely injuring Madrid's players.

You'd have to be a special kind of evil to want to do something like that.

The irony is that one of their best players ended up suffering a serious injury smh

No it shows that the ball wasn't in completely .

?? It shows it was in and even with a margin. The description states so too

Vini alwayes misses chances, he is a poor finisher

You know, I actually was waiting for the goal line technology to kick in. Only to find out Spain doesn't have one and then finding out that Barcelona voted to keep the man (Tebas) who didn't want goal line technology for various reasons that are not sensible or true.

So once again, Barcelona are the victims of their own bad decisions. If you asked me, I think it crossed but it's a mute point as Spain should have had goal line technology to make this matter null and void.

Very short sighted stuff.

So....no one is talking about the clear foul on Kroos for Christensen's goal? That's a more egregious call than Yamal's "goal", which is more of an indictment of La Liga's decision not to use goal line technology than referee incompetence/corruption.

This fanbase has truly descended into mass psychosis. It's like they've all became Harmonica back when he followed Barça.

Lol, that whole fan base on this forum is a grand total of 3.

Yea, unlike so many of the biased Real fans here mostly who never ever admits to anything Real gets from the refs, just ignores them n lives in ur own comfortable bubble reality

Hard not to break down mentally seeing how this club has been mismanaged and whored away over the years, normally after such a downfall many 'fans' descend into darkness and you dont even get to witness the breakdown, if Madrid were managed like Barca 3/4 of you wouldnt even be here.

Honestly, I never considered that a foul as Kroos just got overpowered. Perhaps a review was needed but I personally had no issues with it. Really good corner and really poor goalkeeping resulted in that one.

As for the 2nd line, another example of masters of their own demise. I know Barca fans (not just here) mentioned mismanagement and it is a case of mismanagement but always remember that the ones that mismanaged Barcelona were voted in by the socios of Barcelona. Not some boogey man or Madrid plant, their own paid up members.

But it's easier to blame it all on external factors than realising that you are the problem.
