La Liga 2013/14

Neymar with the opener. Got a deflection but heā€™s looked positive in the 3 minutes Sky have shown.

Mon barca

Great chance for Messi but got his angles wrong.

Messi should have done better there.

Barca will walk this.

Watching this with two madrilenosā€¦hon barcaā€¦

Tata could do with some fashion tips.

Bale looks absolutely clueless when shown on to his right side.

If only he had a right footā€¦

Is the live football blackout between 3pm and 5.15pm in England pretty much just to encourage folk to get out and attend games? For a minute I thought Sky were going to show the game ā€œas liveā€ and pretend it hadnā€™t started already but thankfully they joined it in game.

Atletico are much better than both these

Dreadful dive from Messi.

Nonsensical debate about the handball there. Plainly not deliberate.

Not a great half of football. Barca looked much better just after the coverage started. Itā€™s been far more even since then but not much in the way of quality.

Very good save by Valdes before it. But isnā€™t the thing that La Liga have a policy whereby any touch with the hand is a penalty and they ignore the ā€œdeliberateā€ aspect of the law?

I think itā€™s that a booking is automatically awarded for any handball free kick or penalty.

Yeah, thatā€™s the reason alright.

Thatā€™s it. My learned friend from Wexford was confusing the matters.

Think Modric and Khedira have done well for Madrid in midfield.

The game has been typically shit Spanish affair though.

Oh right. Thanks for clarifying. Iā€™m on my phone having a dump now but Iā€™ll give your post an ā€œinformativeā€ rating when I get back to my laptop shortly.

Barca scum haranguing the referee there. Referees need to start putting manners on these Catalan hoodlums.

Khedira is an excellent player.

@chewy louie doesnā€™t rate him though.
