Vamos Atleti!!!!

Gutted for Arda

 

[El Dante]

I hope Real win. Luka and Bale were good servants for the club, hope they do it.

:ross:

 

[Jordinho]

:ross: at Casillas

SOOO overrated

 

[Yossarian]

Set up nicely now!

 

[El Dante]

:ross: at Casillas

SOOO overrated

I don't think that he is now. He was rated highly when he WAS that good. Now, people are quieter about him, he's deteriorated in part due to lack of regular first team football.

I actually just noticed Casillas is starting....how come?

Same reason Fabianski started for Arsenal in the FA Cup final

 

[Baleforce]

:ross: at Casillas

SOOO overrated

Wouldn't go that far, something ridiculous like 150 caps for Spain. Not as good as he used to be though.

 

[Mumorn]

Modric has been poor so far. If he gets going, Madrid will take the trophy.

:ross:

I chuckled at that too

I don't mind either way.

If Modric and Bale are part of the European champions then it does demonstrate that we couldn't have kept them (without totally changing the financial rules of football). It explains clearly to the critics why we haven't been able to move on and makes their decisions more reasonable.

If they fail, then a little schadenfreude is always an option.

 

[Papercut]

Great fight here from A.M

 

[Mumorn]

The way Atletico press and press hard is really good. A real underrated part of football.

 

[Armchair Expert]

:ross:

Why is that funny? To get 10 seasons out of two players plus 110 million profit is pretty good.

Bale's 6 year stint certainly wasn't a bad innings. The only players who have hung around longer than him are still here because they know the next stop is Sunderland or West Ham.

 

[Denmark Spur]

:ross: at Casillas

SOOO overrated

2012 Modric to RM

2013 Bale to RM

2014 Lloris to RM ??? :-k

Dont think its totally out of the question unfortunately

 

[Mumorn]

Madrid definitely miss Marcelo though, Coentrao hasn't got down the left enough. Khedira playing after being out for so long not looking good too.

Nope. Madrid are happy with Lopez.

 

[Denmark Spur]

Nope. Madrid are happy with Lopez.

Who has not been convincing in the business end of the season.

Lopez does not make miracle saves like a Courtois or a Lloris does

Big 45 mins for Ancelotti now
