3-1 now. Two for Messi
Adriano it seems got the first. Started watching after the hurling. Getafe just got a double deflection goal to make it 3-1. Messi with two off the bench. The first a penalty, the second after a lovely passage of quick passing.
David Villa makes it 4-1
He is averaging a goal every 50 minutes so far this season. Unreal :barcasmile:
The Royalist scum are one down already away to Sevilla
Another soft penalty for Barca tonight.
8 point gap now after only 4 games :barcasmile:
Give it up lads, itās over. Over. Canāt wait until the first Clasico against Espanyol. That will go a long way to deciding where the title ends up.
Messi not happy with David Villa this evening. Gave him a right bollocking just before half time.
6 weeks before Christmas in his first season aside Villa has been very disappointing in a Barca jersey
Villa has now been subbed
2 fine saves in as many minutes from the Granada keeper
Another fine stop by Tono
Xavi
Super strike :barcasmile:
Great strike by xavi. Class
Both Barca and Madrid donāt seem to be at the level of last year which is a good thing for European football.
Has the reason behind Ronaldoās strop ever came to light? There seems to be a lot of unease at Madrid and I donāt see Mourinho there this time next year. To be honest I reckon the trouble is all instigated by that little cretin Casillas, heās vastly overrated and canāt seem to take criticism at all. Heās poision in that dressing room and should be turfed out, IMO. Ronaldo is the star man there and should be treated accordingly, Casillas and the rest of the Spaniards (bar Ramos) are quite ordinary and should just be grateful to play for Madrid. Iker seems like a jealous little boy who has a problem that heās not the main man at Madrid, heās not a patch on the humble legend that was Raul Gonzalez.
Seems to be Spain v Portugal.
While for primarily non-footballing reasons, the EPL is entertaining, students of the game will now be looking forward to seeing Real try to break down a resolute Rayo side, as well as the contrasting styles of Malaga and Bilbao.
A tense Serie A affair between Milan and udinese has whetted my appetite.
European football
would have thought Makaga and Bilboa play quite similar?..
