What were they before?

Deliberately not been looking as want to watch it without a bet on.

It was 2.5 madrid VS 3.2 barça, now it's 2.5 / 2.8

Messi, who is recovering from a knee ligament injury, will start on the bench in the game against Real Madrid on Saturday. [cope]

Hope it happens

Messi feels ready to play the whole game against Real Madrid on Saturday, but he could start on the bench out of precaution. [md]

 

[ThwiX]

Don't let him, Lucho! Typical Messi, tho. Hate it or love it.

Even If he feels, I dont feel like it's a good idea. He should start on bench and join the game around 60 min. It's a long season and we're ahead 3 points. We just need to outplay Real in the second part of the season. We can do that with healthy Messi, but without? I doubt it.

Messi 14/1 to be top scorer in La Liga this season.

Surely worth a punt when only 5 behind Ronaldo and 8 behind Neymar.

 

[Kragod]

My bet is on Neymar, even though he`s no Pedro...

The value is on Messi though in my opinion, Neymar lower odds.

Interesting indeed.

By the way, Jamdav, I'd really appreciate your input in the "punters corner" thread, I mentioned you but may be you missed it ?

No.
Because it's obvious he's shaping up to become a bullshit PR man, in this case how cristiano pushed messi forward...
The move to qatar, his support for the qatar world cup, I mean, they still have literal slaves there and xavi has no qualms supporting them.
I don't like him at all now.

1) No wrong in saying Cristiano pushes Messi, which I think Xavi, him having shared the dressing room with Messi for over 10 years, surely would know better than any of us.
2) Xavi might be supporting a football event to be organized by Qatar, not the country per se! There might be slaves in that country, sure, but Xavi is not exactly promoting the slavery there!!

I don't understand people all going holier-than-thou while talking about Xavi... If you were offered millions of dollars to work for a company, you would take the job no matter the kind of allegations the company is facing!!

 

[Neymessi]

XAvi did say some things wrong like manu has a better fanbase than barca.

I read an article like a year ago about why Thiery Henry is irritating a lot of people since he became a pundit, and it made a lot of sense.

Basically, if you start talking a lot to the media, week in week out, you are bound to irritate people, either because you're too kind to the rivals (in this case Cristiano, ManU, .. ) to be gentle, or too harsh for being biased (Henry about Messi for example, even though he's obv right ^^), etc ..

Getting my Leo fix before the Clasico, and i found out this. How you feel when you traing with him. Neymar has nothing on this guy`s skills, it just isnt his playstyle. Some days ago people were wowed on the Neymar thread how he juggled toilet paper. Just look at 4.46 min.
