    Messi taking too many touches in the box?
    Definitely a penalty to Barca.

    That's why the wee man get's paid the big bucks, even when the team are not playing that well, he can produce a bit of magic that secures the points.


    Agree about the ref, thought he was poor tbh.

    Think paco is a very decent player, could get a game at a lot of decent sides.

    The Umtiti handball was for me mate. Although it was only a few yards at least from him, the shot was definitely on target and was going at a good rate. Could easily have been an equaliser.

    Aye sorry, just messing. Not sure he meant it but would have to see it again.
    I think Spanish officials aren't so good overall.
    Mind you when he gave advantage for that foul just outside the box and waited to see if there was an advantage I thought more referees should think like that before blowing for the foul. So many great positions ruined by that.
    Only 26 though plenty of time to become very good. Then demand contract renegotiations with Madrid.

    Different topic, it cost £300,00 to get goal line technology but La Liga says the smaller clubs can't afford it. Surely the TV revenues could afford that luxury. If a team gets relegated just transfer the equipment to the newly promoted.
    Messi makes £500,000 a week and Ronaldo can't be far behind. These are the guys who influence subscribers.
    Just seems a but short sighted.
    I'd like to know how much revenue they generate outside the top two.

    I think he's very humble and we haven't seen half the things he can do. I mean he entertained the support during half time when he was a kid in Argentina. He's got such a range he'll do something spectacular we'll never see it again.

    So when Messi is concentrating on the team winning with his help he much prefers that to the Balon.
    However when he when he heard:

    “I don’t see anyone better than me,” Ronaldo told France Football. “No player does things that I cannot do myself, but I see things others can’t do.

    “There’s no more complete player than me. I’m the best player in history — in the good and the bad moments.”

    Oooohhhh no Ronnie everything you said had to be addressed. Messi would never disrespect the reputation of the greatest who ever played even though there's a good chance he is.
    You think it's a coincidence he's broken his own dribbling record, scoring fantastic goals and free kicks?
    Everything Ronaldo has said since that statement Messi has destroyed.

    He's very ugly too. It puts me off watching PSG.

    Anyway back to Messi... the GOAT :62:

    Oh ya beauty! I thought they * it but what a cool finish on the rebound!
    3 teams I love to see getting scored against, 1 Scottish, 2 Russian and 1 Spanish.

    What're Ronaldo's free kick stats?
    I don't know but I'm sure they've got enough quality to give other players a go?
    I know his penalty kicks are probably best in history but I don't get worried when he's taking a free kick. Was much better years ago. Bet Kross or Marcelo are better. I'm happy with Ronnie taking them though.
    Ronaldo should have scored that.
    *, unlucky Levante.
    This time next week Fat Sam Madrid manager, Zidane Everton.
    Bale better not go to Chelsea or Utd, he's too good a player.

    Hahaha ya dancer, the Spanish flag is going to be a white handkerchief if the Catalans get Independence :57:
    Soon they'll be wearing ankle tags so they know where their team mates are. Except Ronaldo who probably sounds like Cartman when screaming for the ball.

    That wss crazy they allow play in that condition but it's quite normal, seen Ronaldinho and Messi adjusting to it and chipping the ball like a sandwedge while defenders still expect it to keep rolling ffs.
    Definitely conditions for talented players, and Barca still got pumped. Messi :52: Coutinho o_O

    Watching the Barca game from earlier, Eibar look a really tidy side, feel sorry for them, they were bossing the game then got a man sent off. Think ref must be a Barca season ticket holder. As much as they are a great team with great players, Barca have their fair share of scummy cheating * in their team aswell, don't get the massive love in for them.

    Real Betis look very impressive I must say. But EPL fanboys will tell you that mid-table La Liga teams are weaker than EPL teams.


    EDIT: They equalise as I type.
