Mallorca vs Barcelona

Today all Puyol, Xavi, Valdes and Dani Alves are all out of the game, with the first 3 on injury and Dani Alves on suspension.
Iniesta is therefore captain. Nadal and David Bisbal are in the stands!
Grah, Keita is filling in for Xavi. I was hoping Pep would let thiago start.
1' Mallorca take a shot and pinto makes an easy save!
3' Barcelona finally holding on to some posession.
3' Maxwell just giving the ball away and failing to get the ball to villa. Keita does well to recover poesession.
5' Mallorca forward Nsue makes a break and gets away with it! oh dear this is like the game against Gijon all over again
6' Maxwell and Nsue battling for the ball but Maxwell is fouled.
7' Someone gets a finger in the eye from Keita from an arial challenge.
8' oh dear. Messi making a break but just loses the ball
9' Cringe. the commentator just called Pique the official boyfriend of Shakira.
11' Up front Pedro blocks off Mallorca defence but the ball goes out of the backline. Quiet game from Villa and Pedro so far...
13' Messi makes a break but can't get through the defense, so he sends it back and keita takes a shot from distance. It's an easy save for their keeper.
14' DAVID VILLA OFFSIDE. i must say he's been getting better though.
14' Pedro is covering his back in pain.... better not be serious.
15' Pique recieves the ball behind the goal line and it's a corner! i swear if they score.... OH THE BALL IS OVER THE CROSSBAR.
17' Commentator: once again there's a fou- er a challange.
18' Mallorca take another corner and Pinto just tips it out but they're still in posession. okay they're not anymore. it goes out for a goal kick.
19' VILLA IS OFFSIDE AGAIN.
22' Villa gets hold of the ball and passes it to messi but the ball gets cleared for a corner.
24' what... why is david villa in defence. get back in front!
25' Messi's run out of space and the referee initially calls a goal kick but decides later on that it's a corner.
27' remember what happend last time? Mallorca came to the Nou Camp and drew with Barca. If it happens again in a dull match i would be annoyed because im so tired.
28' Mallorca with a shot from distance but pinto saves it. one of these chances will go through though...
29' Ruben commits a challange on Messi and their keeper just picks up the ball.
30' One two between iniesta and messi but messi can't finish it! it goes over the bar!
32' not quite sure why pique is seriously taking his time with the free kick. It was almost like Xabi Alonso's yellow card in the champions league with timewasting, other than the fact that Real Madrid were winning then and it was deliberate.
32' GERARD PIQUE THE CENTRAL DEFENDER IS OFFSIDE.
36' oof Adriano's cross/shot skims across the face of the goal.
37' GOALLLLLLLLLLL! MESSI! i'll be honest it, i missed seeing it. just waiting for the replay. NICE. he heads it once to himself, and once into the goal! i reckon people have to stop taking into account that he's 5'7 and never under estimate him in the air.
40' oh dear, we've just tried to score twice in a minute and failed drastically. Villa hesitated and barca lost momentum and it got cleared, and then messi failed to bring it under control.
42' Pedro gets hooked on the leg but the referee is obviously blind, as with all refs. he's pretty beat up this game.
45' villa stopped by the wall of defense and the whistle is blown for half time.

kick off - having my dinner = typing less.

45' the commentator just called pique mr shakira. oh im annoyed now.
48' bojan warming up.... and afellay!
49' mallorca's free kick up front is picked up by pinto. the little two man wall with villa and messi in front is so cute.
51' Villa fail. he's trying to pass it through but mallorca gets right on it
54' Maxwell gives the ball away but abidal recovers posession at the back. Abidal is really doing brilliantly this game.
56' GOAL! i missed it again. went on tumblr and got distracted. come on replay. david villa! he makes a break when none of the mallorca defense is back. one on one with the keeper and david villa wins. it's 2 - 0.
62' Villa's got hit in the face. he didn't have the ball. why isn't the other guy booked. yeah in the last 6 minutes nothing has happend except for a mallorca substitution.
63' castro makes a shot but pinto saves it off.
64' late challenge on adriano! WHY ISN'T THE GUY BOOKED. IT WAS HIGH AS WELL.
65' OH MY GOD. PEDRO! PEDRO GOAL! IT WAS! WOW. outside the 18 yard box, at an angle, fires it to the far top corner of the goal. he's beaten ibrahimovic's goal total for last season... hmmm....
68' oooof iniesta just short of control there, which is rare but the ball leaks through to the keeper.
69' another substitution for mallorca, and barcelona as well. villa and pedro off, afellay and bojan comming on. COME ON BOJAN. GET A GOAL.
72' NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO INIESTA! the goal was open and he pulls it just wide! nooooooo! it would've been beautiful!
74' busquets is down. i saw someone go down and i knew it was busquets. because no other barca player would've been down from that.
77' pinto just shouting at his players there. they've given away two corners in a row.
80' bojan down. just got pushed there.... uhm....
83' bojan goes down but did put up a bit of strength before so. im somewhat impressed.
he's getting in a bit of a row now, i think he's said something really rude and almost got slapped but he stopped it.
85' montoya is on for adriano. er, i've never even seen him in my life before. i need to learn more about the B team.
90' full time.
eh. it was okay. the second half was really good. the first half was a bit eh until messi scored.
i do consider it a huge win though, because so many people are out and we've managed to come a way with such a good win.

Barcelona Arsenal

ARSENAL VS BARCELONA I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED!
i know i normally just do the la liga games but this is an exception.
shit, i missed pique shaking hands with cesc.
oh god, i just saw xavi hug fabregas. i want to cry. come home!
kick off! this is SO WEIRD. since these are two teams that i follow, up til now i have been seeing arsenal and barcelona as completely seperate bodies, with fabregas as like a long lost son. but now these two teams are on the pitch together it seems too oddly familiar.
Barcelona on the attack but are blocked off.
Arsenal are playing out a little more defensively than i expected. maybe i'm imagining this. they said they wouldn't.
free kick taken by nasri not far out. van persie was taken down earlier. it goes straight through to victor valdes.
shit! theo walcott on the break! he passes to van persie but it's badly timed and it goes out for a goal kick.
whoops i forgot to put in time codes.
5' SHIT. van persie taking a shot. COME ON BARCELONA.
6' Alex song is booked! for taking down messi. probably wasn't worth a card actually. oh good lord his beard, it's just, fucking. redic.
8' so far arsenal are looking to be more on the ball. we've gone into defence mode. just waiting for the barcelona factor to kick in now.
11' every time the camera goes on francesc fabregas i can't stop imagining him play for barcelona again. oh god maxwell is rediculously offside.
13' we keep losing posession. it's just all terrible timing and just shit handling and bad execution in general.
13' nasri is down but it's a play on. i think i saw the same it wasn't a foul or anything. he just... fell.
14' ooooooh. messi one on one with the keeper! he goes on the break byt he can't get it in the back of the net! god. so. close. it goes barely just wide.
16' i swear pique is everywhere. i saw him go up... and now he's on the right.... what just happend?
17' pique takes the ball off fabrefas! OMMMGGGG PIQUE AND FABREGAS!
17' Eboue takes the ball off villa but i just saw his leg collide with villa..... he doesn't respond. maybe i am seeing things.
18' grah, villa can't get to the ball and scezney picks it up.
19' pedro. i just thought that it was the first time i heard his name in the commentry tonight. he hasn't really done much... yet...
20' Maxwell losing out to theo walcott. im not sure what i think of maxwell yet.
21' His backpass to Valdes is shit and the keeper struggles to keep it in play. being a barcelona keeper his instinct was to control with his feet, but when the arsenal attack comes through he just picks it up. that was awkward.
22' messi with a shit shot. villa was unmarked mate.
24' oh god. walcott and fabregas on the break! fabregas almost scores but he half heartedly passed to van persie and abidal is just there to clear out. TOO CLOSE.
25' GOOOOOOOLLLLLLL! DAVID VILLA! Lionel Messi assist! god. i love. these two. they are incredible. it was NOT offside! 1 -0
27' Busquets is down. free kick given. he's back up. am not sure if it was legit.
27' Nasri is vooked! but why.... Both Nasri and Fabregas are having a go at the ref.
28' oof! villa gives it to pedro in front of the goal but pedro's flick is blocked off.
28' robin van persie on the break and his shot goes wide!
29' Iniesta was booked earlier.... i think it was that Nasri thing.
30' Alex song foul on messi. it would be a shame if he got sent off. this is an amazing game. i've never seen two sides play such similar, defined styles. tikitaka, barca, definately, arsenal? a little bit.
31' everyone keeps hanging the ball back to pique. i reckon we're a bit better now. the ball is actually getting to the feet of the right people.
34' messi goes down deep in the midfield but nothing is given. arsenal take the ball away, but there's no finish there.
36' free kick flicked off the pedro who is offside. pedro looks TINY on the pitch!
37' shiiiit. pedro and messi go for goal but pedro can't finish it, messi heads it in but he was offside. i'd like to see messi score tonight. i really, really would.
39' pedro is offside again. he's taking on the david villa role today.
41' oh my god dani alves cannot for the life of him take the ball off nasri.
42' this time david villa is offside.
43' another unsucessful attempt from robin van persie.
44' messi nudges eboue and he's down. free kick given. messi looks annoyed, it was a bit of a dive-ish.
HALF TIME
2nd half! i went to cook some noodles in half time. it's 4.46 in the morning, and i am eating noodles = less typing
46' wilshsere takes a shot from distance but valdes is there to save it.
48' iniesta's ball through doesn't get to messi or villa.
51' pedro with some crazy timing skills with messi, who flicks it on skillfully for himself but the ball is cleared.
52' xavi's shot goes wide.... very wide...
55' walcott in front of the goal, crosses to van persie, maxwell intercepts but gives it back to walcott, all that is repeated but van persie takes a shot and it goes over the bar.
56' Pedro hand balls and he's taken down by Koscielny who just picks him up off his feet from the waist, IT"S PLAY ON?
57' arsenal take a corner and they briefly lose and regain posession.
58' FUCK. PIQUE GETS BOOKED FOR A LATE TACKLE AND HE'S ON MATCH BAN FOR THE SECOND LEG. COME ON BARCELONA. if they do good enough in this leg it won't matter so much. free kick from fabregas. pedro and messi make a very, very small wall. Fabregas takes it and it goes straight to victor valdes.
61' van persie in front of the goal but pique is there to slide it out of play.
65' van persie with a shot again but valdes saves it.
65' HA, villa puts the ball out of the backline but it's given as a corner. the whole emirates is booing the linemen. it was RIGHT under his nose.
67' FUUUUUUU. messi's shot hits the side netting. it was offside anyway. it's going to be a frustrating night for me again, where i just sit here and whine about messi being unable to score and constantly blocked.
67' Keita is on for Villa. okay. and Arshavin is on for Alex Song. grah.
69' for a moment there messi and xavi swapped roles, with messi waiting to flick on to xavi in front of a goal. but it isn't messi after all because xavi can't score it.
71' shit. in his attempts to get onto the ball messi kicks someone in the side. can't tell who it was.
74' we need to stop playing high balls. why are we anyway with messi and pedro up front? honestly, our two forwards average out to be 5'7.
76' theo walcott is off for bendtner.
77' Jack Wilshere on the attack and almost takes a shot but Abidal clears out at the last minute
77' FUUUUUUUU VAN PERSIE GOAL. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKK. FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCK. FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKK. FUUUUUCK. oh god. why didn't valdes save it. he touched it. he touched the ball. he didn't save it. barcelona now has 11 minutes to score again. they won't. trust me.
82' FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK ARSHAVIN! FUUUUUUCKK
GOAL. 2 - 1

i'm so angry that i've stopped typing.

Sporting Gijon Barcelona Part 1

Me and Tishta decided to watch this game together and have an online conversation about the game instead of me just commentating on the game. I have NO idea why she chose to use the name Moctuplet. I am alf obviously. The game started at 3.00 am.

Alf. says: (2:59:46 AM)

IT'S STARTING! oh ew, they're in their green shorts again

Moctuplet says: (3:00:02 AM)

xavi is captain!

Alf. says: (3:00:30 AM)

sporting gijon! david villa started here.

Moctuplet says: (3:00:38 AM)

si! pique is such a giant

Moctuplet says: (3:01:34 AM)

afellay's debut starting in la liga!

Alf. says: (3:01:43 AM)

KICK OFF!

Moctuplet says: (3:02:16 AM)

what do you think the score will be?

Moctuplet says: (3:02:25 AM)

this is my first live match

Alf. says: (3:02:37 AM)

i realised

Alf. says: (3:02:47 AM)

what.... do i think the score... i want to say 2 - 1... i WANT to say that

Moctuplet says: (3:03:15 AM)

but?

Alf. says: (3:03:24 AM)

i think we'll win

Moctuplet says: (3:03:30 AM)

a throw in

Alf. says: (3:03:34 AM)

i don't want to put in a big prediction

Alf. says: (3:03:37 AM)

fail.

Alf. says: (3:03:54 AM)

so tonight busquets, abidal, puyol, and pedro are all off. puyol still injured, xavi is captain.

Moctuplet says: (3:04:34 AM)

and bojan

Moctuplet says: (3:04:39 AM)

ooh shot

Moctuplet says: (3:04:42 AM)

saved

Alf. says: (3:04:47 AM)

from the REGULAR lineup mate. bojan. doesn't. start.

Moctuplet says: (3:05:08 AM)

yes, thank you for making that painfully obvious.

Alf. says: (3:05:10 AM)

gaby milito takes the ball off gijon!

Moctuplet says: (3:06:02 AM)

oooh ball got "nicked" off iniesta. that doesn't happen often

Alf. says: (3:06:04 AM)

i like that milito is finally having a start

Alf. says: (3:06:35 AM)

i don't think gaby milito's challenge was really a penalty

Alf. says: (3:07:15 AM)

dani alves. gerard pique. what were you doing

Moctuplet says: (3:07:26 AM)

that just completely missed alves

Alf. says: (3:07:27 AM)

just standing there waiting for them to give up. CLEAR IT.

Alf. says: (3:07:45 AM)

lucky the shot was over the bar.

Moctuplet says: (3:07:49 AM)

barca corner

Alf. says: (3:08:02 AM)

they're not going to score from it

Moctuplet says: (3:08:14 AM)

it's gone over.

Alf. says: (3:08:23 AM)

tooooold you. milito can't get it on target

Moctuplet says: (3:08:44 AM)

gijon look like candy canes

Alf. says: (3:09:34 AM)

well. in that case. so does athletic bilbao and atletico.

Moctuplet says: (3:09:38 AM)

lio messsiiii. his shot is block.

Alf. says: (3:09:45 AM)

i hate this. Messi taking the corner short.

Moctuplet says: (3:10:03 AM)

they've got multiple players on each forward

Alf. says: (3:10:12 AM)

that's not surprising. teams have learnt to do that against barcelona. but remember dani alves plays up a lot.

Moctuplet says: (3:10:45 AM)

true. and iniesta loses the ball again

Moctuplet says: (3:11:23 AM)

second corner kick for sporting

Alf. says: (3:11:39 AM)

it wasn't close. the commentator said it was close

Moctuplet says: (3:11:54 AM)

it wasn't close at all

Alf. says: (3:12:04 AM)

shot from distance from gijon

Alf. says: (3:12:11 AM)

where's our defence mate.

Moctuplet says: (3:12:11 AM)

pique anger? i would be too

Moctuplet says: (3:12:40 AM)

free kick

Alf. says: (3:12:56 AM)

mascherano fouling, it's not unheard of.

Alf. says: (3:13:10 AM)

this formation is so strange.

Moctuplet says: (3:13:19 AM)

why another free kick?

Alf. says: (3:13:33 AM)

apparently dani alves pushed him

Alf. says: (3:13:59 AM)

i'm not sure what's wrong with the defence today

Moctuplet says: (3:14:06 AM)

no puyi?

Moctuplet says: (3:14:32 AM)

yellow card!

Alf. says: (3:14:32 AM)

no he's been gone for weeks. puyol i mean

Moctuplet says: (3:14:46 AM)

si, that is true

Alf. says: (3:15:29 AM)

barcelona might just be tired from the internationals

Moctuplet says: (3:15:45 AM)

it's possible seeing as more than half the team is on the international side

Moctuplet says: (3:15:52 AM)

i'm glad pique's back's fine

Alf. says: (3:16:37 AM)

they're not concentrating

Alf. says: (3:16:53 AM)

i really wish abidal was on...

Moctuplet says: (3:17:11 AM)

maybe he's the one who's got the fitness issue

Moctuplet says: (3:17:19 AM)

maxwell's not bad

Alf. says: (3:17:39 AM)

OMG

Moctuplet says: (3:17:43 AM)

whhhhhattttt

Alf. says: (3:17:43 AM)

OMG. I JUST. DIED. INSIDE. IM NOT KIDDING

Alf. says: (3:17:59 AM)

oooooooOOOOOOH

Moctuplet says: (3:18:07 AM)

barral goal.

Alf. says: (3:18:23 AM)

against barcelona.

Alf. says: (3:19:17 AM)

shit!

Alf. says: (3:19:22 AM)

they're making a break again!

Moctuplet says: (3:19:25 AM)

YELLOW CARD

Alf. says: (3:19:27 AM)

mascherano is booked!

Moctuplet says: (3:19:29 AM)

bruck

Alf. says: (3:19:30 AM)

Moctuplet says: (3:19:30 AM)

:|

Moctuplet says: (3:19:43 AM)

puta madre

Moctuplet says: (3:19:46 AM)

what's going on

Alf. says: (3:20:06 AM)

if this happens every time you watch a game.

Alf. says: (3:20:09 AM)

i will actually... dope you on sleeping pills every match day

Moctuplet says: (3:20:22 AM)

AHAHAHAHA

Alf. says: (3:21:04 AM)

mope.

Alf. says: (3:22:11 AM)

real madrid playing against espanyol tonigh. no. tomorrow night. i lied. i'm so sorry.

Alf. says: (3:25:05 AM)

OMG

Alf. says: (3:25:08 AM)

DID YOU SEE THAT

Moctuplet says: (3:25:12 AM)

I SAW THAT

Alf. says: (3:25:13 AM)

DID YOU SEE WHAT VILLA JUST DID! THAT. WAS HILARIOUS.

Moctuplet says: (3:25:33 AM)

awkward photo

Alf. says: (3:25:35 AM)

he basically rode the guy. and his legs were over the guys head.....

Alf. says: (3:26:12 AM)

ooooooh villa offside

Moctuplet says: (3:26:14 AM)

GAHHHH

Moctuplet says: (3:26:28 AM)

he was not offside!

Alf. says: (3:26:28 AM)

fucker. linesman.

Moctuplet says: (3:27:05 AM)

sporting throw in...

Alf. says: (3:27:18 AM)

why is pep licking his lips so much. does he do that when he's annoyed....

Moctuplet says: (3:27:33 AM)

nervous probably

Alf. says: (3:27:58 AM)

anxious

Alf. says: (3:28:14 AM)

dani alves changes boots every week

Moctuplet says: (3:28:14 AM)

right now i'm very glad that there was no gijon attack

Alf. says: (3:28:28 AM)

is alves not tied to one sponsor?

Moctuplet says: (3:28:31 AM)

his shoes are awesome

Alf. says: (3:29:25 AM)

the tiki taka isn't working today

Moctuplet says: (3:29:29 AM)

Gijon has excellent defense

Alf. says: (3:29:37 AM)

we've lost our magic haven't we.

Moctuplet says: (3:29:54 AM)

we haven't lost our magic

Alf. says: (3:29:59 AM)

yes we have

Moctuplet says: (3:30:00 AM)

the magic gerbil will do something (messi)

Alf. says: (3:30:07 AM)

did you just see that... that was. horrible.

Moctuplet says: (3:30:21 AM)

that was a terrible attempt to score

Alf. says: (3:30:31 AM)

the build-up to the shot was horrible. the shot was horrible.

Alf. says: (3:30:57 AM)

milito is a violent man

Moctuplet says: (3:30:59 AM)

they're falling all over the place

Alf. says: (3:31:21 AM)

oh thank god. pique cleared out.

Moctuplet says: (3:31:55 AM)

another gijon corner. that was wayyy over

Alf. says: (3:32:30 AM)

there. pep just licked his lips for like. 4 times in a row.

Moctuplet says: (3:32:35 AM)

it's like pep's trying to talk to xavi and is being ignored

Alf. says: (3:32:44 AM)

maybe his voice is too soft.

Moctuplet says: (3:32:45 AM)

how cold is it o.o

Moctuplet says: (3:33:12 AM)

8 degrees today

Moctuplet says: (3:33:21 AM)

gahh i have no idea how people play in the cold for so long

Alf. says: (3:33:42 AM)

that's not too cold

Moctuplet says: (3:34:41 AM)

damn

Alf. says: (3:34:49 AM)

INIESTA'S SHOT ON TARGET IS SAVED! NOOOOOOOOO!!

Moctuplet says: (3:34:52 AM)

Alf. says: (3:35:30 AM)

Moctuplet says: (3:36:48 AM)

"he's a professional fouler"

Alf. says: (3:36:57 AM)

Alf. says: (3:37:15 AM)

Alf. says: (3:37:24 AM)

Moctuplet says: (3:37:55 AM)

Alf. says: (3:38:01 AM)

Moctuplet says: (3:38:42 AM)

Alf. says: (3:39:04 AM)

BARCELONA ARE LOSING. FC BARCELONA ARE LOSING. LIONEL MESSI IS LOSING. PEP GUARDIOLA'S MEN ARE LOSING. WE ARE LOSING.

Moctuplet says: (3:39:15 AM)

SHUT YOOOOO MOUTH

Alf. says: (3:39:21 AM)

WE ARE GOING TO LOSE. FC BARCELONA ARE GOING TO LOSE.

Moctuplet says: (3:39:28 AM)

pique is quite pink tonight

Alf. says: (3:39:38 AM)

GERARD PIQUE WILL LOSE.

Moctuplet says: (3:39:46 AM)

you are such a pessimist

Moctuplet says: (3:39:52 AM)

villlaaaaaaa

Alf. says: (3:39:58 AM)

DAVID VILLA IS DOWN. AND LOSING.

Moctuplet says: (3:40:02 AM)

medics are on. that looked paiiinful

Alf. says: (3:40:40 AM)

oh good lord.

Moctuplet says: (3:40:49 AM)

butt on face

Alf. says: (3:40:52 AM)

WHAT. HOW WAS THAT A VILLA FOUL. HE WAS LATE TACKLED.

Alf. says: (3:41:30 AM)

it was given to gijon

Moctuplet says: (3:41:38 AM)

puta.

Alf. says: (3:41:59 AM)

BARCELONA LOSING.

Moctuplet says: (3:42:07 AM)

OH MY GOD SHUT UP

Alf. says: (3:42:08 AM)

my grammar is excellant. i know.

Moctuplet says: (3:42:18 AM)

so is your spelling

Moctuplet says: (3:42:21 AM)

"excellant"

Alf. says: (3:42:26 AM)

go. away.

Moctuplet says: (3:42:53 AM)

someone make the commentator shut up

Moctuplet says: (3:43:35 AM)

your mom is losing.

Alf. says: (3:43:44 AM)

your mom is losing me.

Moctuplet says: (3:43:56 AM)

o.o how do barca have 69% posession

Moctuplet says: (3:44:48 AM)

they'll probably do something about defense at half time. put abidal on?

Barcelona Atletico!!!

the big game is here! Barcelona V Atletico and i've managed to sleep through it!
seriously, i was here, incredibly jet lagged. tv was on, i was in front of the tv, and i'd slept through it. woke up when it was over. decided not to ruin it for myself and went for some proper sleep. now im ready to watch it.

At Madrid! I like this side. Auguero is smiling at Messi. aaah argentines. Obviously I still want Barca to win this though.
Puyol STILL not back from injury. Abidal still filling in at Centre Back and Busquets is at DMF. everything else is as per usual.
Atletico with Kun Aguero up front, Diego Forlan on the bench, David De Gea (YES) in goal.

0' Messi is fouled by Filipe. Just pushed down from behind there.
2' Kun Aguero is getting away with the ball! it's pressured out but the throw in is still for Atletico.
3' The whistle blows 3 times and Messi keeps going. why? because HE WASN'T FUCKING OFFSIDE. WHAT. unless it was given a foul against Barca. I doubt it. He stops eventually.
6' FUCK YOU. the commentator just called Pique PUYOL. "Calm defending from Puyol who just knocks it back to Valdes"
7' Oooh. Barca on the attack with skill from Messi. They can't score but no one could get the ball off messi. He gives it to Villa. The ball goes over the bar.
8' Aguero called offside.... ahh debatable again. I swear if a shitty linesman is a recurring theme in this ame i will be SO angry.
9' David Villa tries to shoot from distance but gets it wide.
10' something strange just happend. David Villa gives the ball away then ends up on the floor. not sure what's happening. he's back on his feet now. what was that.
10' Messi on the attack but he's run out of space. There have been no shots on target by Barca. i am somewhat dissapointed. but it is atletico notheless. we can't exactly cruise through. Remember the first half of the season? 2 - 1 and messi was injured. Ujfalusi went for him like an animal. his ankle was messed up as fuck.
13' Villa chasing the ball with the atletico defence. Commentator describes it as "a tangle of legs sliding on the ground" a bit sexual don't you think.
14' Abidal! what a clearence. his calmness is admirable.
14' Messi! that was shit. frankly. it was a shit attempt to score. no power, no accuracy.
15' 70% posession. for Barca. good.
16' MESSSI MESSSI GOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! WHAT! that was.... that was.... ooooooohh....... through 3 defenders. oooooooohhh.... some 16 yards out too. david de gea! hand on the ball... can't make a save.
17' Villa shoots from far out on the side... goes to the side netting.
19' MESSI! it goes wide. the look on his face. it's almost heartbraking. He does all the work. gets to the goal. shoots it wide. credits to dani alves' incredibly timed pass.
21' David Villa loosing cometrol of the ball. it looks almost commical. had there been someone behind him he wouldn't have caught it again.
22' Xavi challanged late but nothing is given. he doesn't give the ball away though. magic. Busquets is down now. free kick.
24' Free kick for Atletico. it's not far from the goal. Abidal just fouled Aguero.
25' Alves in attack doing really well to keep posession. oooh. Pedro's shot is saved by De Gea.
26' Pique fouls Ujfalusi in a dead ball.
27' MESSIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! 2 - 0! he's actually just picked up atletico's failed defence. they failed to control it, and Messi just intercepted the fail and scored it. wheeey!
28' Ujfalusi carded for saying something to the ref.
29' why has iniesta gone into such a defensive role? we haven't seen much of him today.
30' Busquets challenge on atletico. the guy's down...
31' Free kick for atletico madrid is taken. 3 off the atletico are offside. It's given to Atletico though. WHY.
32' Abidal is down. I don't think i've ever seen him taken down. Free kick given.
33' Iniesta's ball to Villa is long and he can't get on the end of it. Goal kick.
33' Messi is taken down. It gets into a bit of a mess. Free kick to Barca.
34' Shit! David Villa should've scored it. He's flagged offside. bit of a late flag though. David Villa offside. what a surprise.
37' Pedro late challenge on Lopez. he's back up.
40' First Atletico corner. Tiago (at Madrid) fouls Busquets. free kick to barca.
41' Aguero!! amazing run! but he's intercepted. it goes out of the back. Corner to Atletico. they make nothing of it.
42' Villa! so close! it's just a metre wide of the goal! could've beeen amazing...
43' forlan is warming up!
44' Dani Alves is carded for a late challenge on kun aguero! Atletico madrid are appealing for more! the ref is pointing at his whistle probably telling them to play to the whistle.
Half time!
45' Forlan has come on at half time.
46' tension between maxwell and Jose Antonio
47' Tiago throwing Iniesta in the air in a challange. camp nou is not happy about this.
48' I love Barcelona. Challange in the box on Villa and he doesnt even stop to ask for a penalty. straight back up and gets the ball back.
49' Messi with excellent defending! his name chanting in the stadium. yes. messi.
52' Atletico with some really incredible chances! Pique heads it out from just outside the goal! what a clearence but they're still in posession! Valdes makes a save! ooooh. so close! WHAT A CLEARENCE FROM PIQUEEE!
53' Atletico at it again! iniesta intercepts in defence and back passes to Valdes.
55' Forlan at it again but fails to finish! Barca forced into defence for the last few minutes.
57' Atletico substitution. Koke is on.
60' MY SIGNAL HAS FROZEN. shiiiiit. okay it's unfrozen. thank god.
63' David Villa flicks off to Pedro but he's out of space. Would've been amazing.
64' Dani Alves' flick into the goal was intercepted easily by David De Gea.
65' Oh! David Villa so close to scoring! just intercepted RIGHT before he goes for the strike.
66' Messi's gone down. Taken down by Tiago just outside the 18 yard box. They play the free kick fast and is pulled back as tiago is booked. 19 yards out what can he do? whole wall in front! WHAT? HE GOES FOR IT! IT HITS THE POST! HE'S CARDED! LIONEL. MESSI. IS. CARDED. FOR. KICKING. IT. BEFORE. THE WHISTLE IS BLOWN. Aguero is smirking at his fellow argentine NT teammate. okay. taking it again. SHIT. he goes for it again. De Gea saves it. shit. wasted. im so angry.
72' OH WHAT THE SHIT! Maxwell! CROSS TO MESSI! WHO DOES A BEAUTIFUL HEADER. AND THEN IS SAVED BY DAVID DE GEA! WHATTT!!!??? sometimes i hate you de gea. sometimes i do.
73' Flipe Luis is off with a muscle strain. Well. Quique Sanchez Flores tells him to stay on. oh good now he's off. Elias is on.
75' Messi is robbed of the ball. It's a free kick.
76' PEDRO JUST WIDE! SO. CLOSE. De Gea manages to steer it clear.
78' LIONEL MESSI! GOAL! OMG! IM SO HAPPY! im could cry. De Gea is on the floor! ooooh it looks so bad! David Villa went for it. He slides it towards the goal. De Gea's head collides with Villa's boot. Atletico defence intercepts. badly. Messi puts it in the net.
80' Keita is on for Iniesta. Bojan and Afellay are nowhere to be seen!
82' Pique takes the ball off Aguero and its goes out as a Atletico corner. Pique can't believe it. It should've been a goal kick. whatever.
83' Afellay for Xavi and Bojan for Pedro! Whoot!
85' Pique with an important clear! Valera goes for goal but Pique arrives just in time to clear it out of play!
87' Tiago's shot comes off Pique and is another corner.
87' Valera is carded! He stickes his leg out at Valdes as he's taking the goal kick. That's not right.
89' Tiago and Dani Alves both down. Tiago is more affected by it though. I swear to god Alves changes between nike and adidas boots.
3 minutes extra time.
90+1' shit. Afellay comes in with a cross to Bojan but can't get it through he 3 defenders with Bojan.
FULL TIME!
BARCELONA BREAKS THE RECORD OF HAVING 16 STRAIGHT WINS!
Lionel Messi hat trick. Lets hope c.ronaldo doesn't score so Messi is ahead in the Pichichi.
Pique picks up the ball and gives it to Messi. I think they both did BRILLIANT.
What an improvement compared to the game in the first half of the season.
WHAT. A GAME. unlike the Hercules one i haven't blogged yet. Will do one day.
