Real Madrid (old thread)

[Raed]

it's not the same type of football. Pep took us back to basics and our play now is different to our play in 2006 at the height of Rijkaard's reign.



I always thought we were only going after Beckham as a decoy to get Real to spunk their summer budget on him so we could sign Ronaldinho uncontested.

which would be genius but i dont know. i mean didnt laporta base his capaign around it? which would be double genius as this would mean he decoyed madrid and won votes. you believe lapirta was smart enough for that? im skeptical.

I doubt it.

We're just lucky you guys like to troll us all the time.

Backfire like a motherfucker

I don't know . Laporta was a cheeky fucker. Can picture him plotting while smoking a fat cigarre.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Beckham was guaranteed money for Laporta so I doubt that scenario.

 

[Deco 20]

Laporta is a sneaky bastard, so who knows? But I doubt he'd be the one behind the scheme if there indeed was one. It's more likely some intelligent human being told him Beckham wouldn't be worth it. Maybe Rosell, hmm.. But had they already fallen out back then?


Btw, Beckham is Adidas'. Ronnie is Nike's. (Not sure he was back then, though)

 

[Deco 20]

I just practically literally said the opposite, but evidently that alone is not enough for you people to understand it. Tragic

I don't think he was referrng to your post

 

[impeh]

hopefully this valencia game will be a little closer than the last :eusa_think:

[FCBarca]

Clasico referee announced

David Fernández Borbalán

Same ref from the Supercopa leg at the Camp Nou in August 2011

 

[estranged]

same ref from the match Barca won 3-2???? I smell an anti Madrid conspiracy...

 

[gingerless]

i don't remember the calls very well in that game, how were they? too lenient? trigger finger? bad linesman?

 

[El Gato]

Not bad honestly if I remember well. The only thing people moaned about was allowing Madrid second goal to stand as if it was an offside which it wasn't.

I don't really think you'll get too lenient of a ref unless it's Undiano who knows fuckall about calling the game properly.

 

[FCBarca]

Except, it was offside

 

[El Gato]

Hang on, that wasn't that game. It was the first one neh? Second goal was scored by Benziza and there is no way that was offside.

Not too sure anymore. Ah, I shut up, I'm tired.

 

[barcelonista]

The goal Ronaldo was credited for (which actually was a Benzema shot deflecting 200 times on its way) was offside. But can't complain. Nowadays it's nearly impossible to call an offside inch perfect with the pace of the modern game and all field players tracking back, so 20 men standing in or around the box.
