El Clasico (1/4)

OH MY GOD. EL CLASICO! the first of the four in 18 days and our captain puyol is back!
Ew the bernabau is so quiet and just.... snobbish. what's with this weird atomosophere.
PUYOL IS STARTING. i can't believe he is. it's been too long omg!
0' KICK OFF OMGGGG.
0' 13 seconds in and benzema fouls busquets. free kick for barca...
1' no! madrid is in posession...
2' Pepe is down! Busquets fouled him.... why is Pepe in midfield...
2' Pepe fouls Xavi. this is just ridiculous.
3' Ha! the ball rolls out and Marcelo and Messi were running after, Marcelo takes the linesmen down.
4' Cristiano is running fown the side and he has space! Adriano clears it out...
4' Busquets! yet another ball out onto the sidelines... this is the second one in 4 minutes.
5' Xabi is annoyed that no kick was given for Alves' challenge on him... did look like he dived a bit though. Im not lying, i do actually like him as a player... still think of him as a liverpool player rather than madrid.
7' Foul given for a challege on Pepe by Xavi. Actually he didn't touch him, Xavi is teasing the ref. Typical Xavi :D
8' Adriano booked! for a block on khedira..... maybe a free kick, not worth a booking. i'm kind of annoyed already.
9' Ronaldo takes it, it's about 25 yards out! He's going for goal! Valdes holds it safely in his hands! oh that was close.... looked like his tan was coming loose there in the close up, and for the record, he IS orange.
10' Xavi clips it over all the Madrid defense for Dani Alves but he's offside...
11' Hard to tell who's going better at the moment.... God the lighting in the stadium is so weird. It makes everything look.... illuminated.
11' Ronaldo makes a run but his ex-teammate Pique just clears it easily
12' Adriano rolling on the ground in exaggeration of a late challenge by Sami Khadira.
13' Ronaldo almost puts it through the Barca defence but Puyol is the one to clear it! :')
13' Marcelo being fouled by Messi. He is actually just tapped on the back by his hand and Marcelo is sent flying towards the ground..... theatrics....
15' Iniesta puts it over the top for Pedro but it's over and it's a goal kick for Casillas.
16' the tiki taka at it's best.. 126 completed passes by barcelona and 20 passes by madrid. 126, 16 minutes in!
18' Iniesta's ball comes in over to Leo Messi! He gets through the defense and he's one on one with Casillas! Casillas makes the save as expected as Messi tries to clip it over him. Ah, good try though
19' Pedro flicks it through to Iniesta but he can't control it and Casillas has it again.
20' Di Maria with the ball, here's Puyol on him, Puyol clears it! did he just... the commentator..... HIS NAME IS CARLES, NOT CARLOS.
21' Di Maria takes the corner and after Xabi wins the header Bezema takes a shot and Valdes can't hold on to it and it's another corner.
22' This time pique makes a clearence and it's the third corner in 2 minutes. Ronaldo goes for the header and it's over the bar.
23' Pique takes Ronaldo down! Some shit is cooking up..... my tv signal is weak. Ronaldo isn't fouled from the replay. Iniesta is taken down.
25' Pepe handballs and a foul is given against him. Good thing too, pepe was near...
25' Casillas takes Villa down in the box, Villa is furious! he's shouting at the ref! Pique is too! Pique is booked! Replay says Casillas didn't touch the ball! It SHOULD'VE been a penalty!!!! i swear to god if we're down by one goal at the end of this....
26' Iniesta fouled from all directions....
28' I really wish the commentator would stop calling him "carlos" puyol.
28' Pique clears the ball and it's a corner! Di Maria takes it... he gets the ball back and he goes for a shot... it's over the bar.
30' Marcelo handballs, Messi asks for a yellow card, he gets what he wants, Marcelo's reactions are actually commical.
32' Okay, what the fuck. Madrid with lots of posession. Barca have tried to get the ball back but it keeps getting back to Madrid. and then the commentator calls Xavi Pique. and Messi comes back to defend, and then he calls Barcelona the red and purple shirts. PURPLE. PURPLE and red shirts. BARCELONA THE BLAUGRANAS.
34' Cristiano with a shot but it hits Pique and Vales catches the rebound off him.
36' Puyol takes Marcelo down who's taking a shot.... just outside the box. Both Puyol and Valdes are smiling because the ref was right there and nothing was given.
38' God Busquets actually keeps on his feet.... oh wait no he's down now. and he didn't have to. typical.
39' Villa tries a long shot but Casillas gets on the end of it. As expected.
40' Messi is on the ground holding his face..... what was going on here. Iniesta helps him out. Xabi Alonso catches him in the face with a leg or something.
42' Macelo looks like he's in pain... we'll see if he makes it to the second half.
43' Messi's shot is good but Casillas makes the save! What a shot! he's trailled by 3 defenders! and what a save as well!
44' Khedira wins a corner.... come on! oh wow, what just happend.... Dani Alves is down..Ramos got the header, Cristiano heads it and Valdes oh makes a save!
45' Barca with a counter attack, oh! messi is with the ball, gets it to Villa, Villa slows down as everyone gets back in defense for Madrid. shit. it goes way wide.

Half time!
Why oh why video replay.... you make me so angry watching the injustice of football over and over again. I can just imagine if it was a penalty, and Villa scored. Whatever, im trying not to focus on it. If we keep dwelling on the what ifs, then what if i supported madrid. HAHA. i can't even imagine.

45' Second half! im toasting something... going to run off to get it soon.
45' we're being dominated.... it's almost as if we're losing. mentality wise....
47' Dani Alves taken down by Di Maria....
47' Shit, Ozil is warming up!
48' Cristiano dived! he dived and there's a free kick at the 18 yard box! FUCKKKKK.
49' He takes the shot and it's just on the post! the angle the shot it from looks like the one they do on Fifa 10...
50' Villa is down. No foul.
51' UN PENAL. ARBIOL IS GIVEN A RED CARD! OMFGGGGG. HE MADE A SHIT FOUL ON VILLA OMG. MESSI IS TAKING IT. IM DYING. COME ON! Messi against Casillas....OMG
GOAL. GOAL. 1 - 0. I think i want to scream. but i won't, everyone is asleep. it's 5.10 am. MESSI. Puyol comes in for a hug, he lifts Messi up. oh. wow. that. If anything. Messi vs Casillas... a meeting of the greatest at this given time. Wow. Wow. Messi finally scores against Mourinho's side. Madrid have 10 men from this point on...
54' Messi pushes it through to Villa and Pepe takes the ball off him. Pepe is now at centre back. Obviously.
55' Keita and Ozil waiting to come on.
56' Puyol is down... he's out for treatment. oh dear. he's still down. the stretcher is here. oh no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no.
no.
no.
no. he's carried off.
57' Keita is on for him now.
60' Ball goes forward to david villa but it's too far from him.... Puyol is sitting on the floor instead of the bench to stretch it out. Life is shit for him. At least the football life is.
61' Xavi swings one in from afar and it hits the crossbar. so close.
62' Xavi is fouled and taken down by khedira.
63' Urgh, messi flicks it on for Villa but he tries to get it back with a backheel and Madrid cuts it out.
64' Carvalho comes in for a shot and Pique just dives in to put it out for a clearence.
65' Corner, Di Maria takes it, Pepe tries to go for goal but only gets the side netting.
65' Alonso is coming off for Adebayor... XABI ALONSO IS COMING OFF? Pedro is off for Afellay, hey, it's his first clasico!
67' Gr! Villa is running after the ball and he gets a shot but it's over...
68' Adebayor almost has a chance but it just rolls over to victor valdes.
68' Ball through to Messi but just gets to iker casillas again.
70' not sure what that was. Messi with the ball and pepe just whacks him with his hands on his back. what...
70' Villa! oh god that was weak. just straight to iker... again.... could've been good. but nooo. he has to continue his goal drought apparently.
71' Guardiola shouting so loud that if i understood catalan i would be able to understand what he just said.
72' Ball gets run out by Afellay. Ronaldo just falls striaght onto him.
73' Iniesta is taken down.... he just flips over. interesting. in a bad way.
75' oof. villa fouls khedira... just pushes him out. he needs to chill the fuck out.
76' Arbeloa is booked for a poor challenge.
77' Iniesta is stopped for foul. Not sure why.... hey his hair is actually growing. Ronaldo taking the free kick from about 20 yards out. WHY THE FIFA GAME FREE KICK ANGLE. he takes a shot, it goes over the crossbar. :)
Valdes is flipping out. his teammates decided to wuss out and parted the wall.
78' Adebayor is down, Alves is booked..... it's another madrid free kick. Ozil is taking it. it's kind of shit. Ramos can't get to it at all.
79' Final change at the bernabau with adriano coming off for maxwell.
80' BOLLOCKS SHIT. VALDES IS BOOKED! D: MADRID HAS A PENALTY. ALVES WITH A LUNGE AT MARCELO. WHAT THE FUCK. OKAY. COME ON COME ON VALDES. CRISTIANO RONALDO GOAL. IT"S 1 - 1 AT 81 MINUTES.
83' Keita is down... pepe just elbows him in the back. come on barca. hurry up....
83' I am going to think of this as a 6 minute game from now.
84' Messi goes for the ball from Xavi's pass but iker gets there first! okay. i'm freaking out now.
85' what a mess. Messi goes for goal but is taken down just before. ball goes back to iniesta. goes for goal. it goes. wide.
86' stunning chance for villa but iker makes an amazing save. sigh, iker, why must you be so good.
87' Ramos blocks messi off and nothing is given. Messi takes the ball off Ramos and it's a free kick for madrid. messi is furious. i would be too.
89' Adebayor squares it for Khedira and Valdes makes a crucial save for barcelona.
89' Afellay goes for goal and it's just over the bar.
90' four minutes extra time. i think it's unethical for them to show statistics just on messi against ronaldo. it's not a game for just those two. If anything.... it's as valid as showing stats of dani alves... against sergio ramos.
91' Messi smacks the ball into the stands. Pepe tells him to use his head.... a bit of a fuss... Xavi is booked for saying something at the ref.
93' Bollocks. it's the final whistle. what a bollocks game. Pique is pissed off. i don't blame him. So the whole second half was basically everyone getting nowhere with attacks because the goalkeepers of both sides are too good. right.

okay, away draw. not that bad. the worst thing about this game, the WORST BY A MILE, IS PUYOL PICKING UP ANOTHER INJURY. THAT IS. THE WORSE. SHIT. EVER. HIS FIRST GAME IN THREE MONTHS. THE BARCELONA CAPTAIN IS OUT AGAIN. COME ON. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT!? THIS WAS. SUCH. A. GRR.
AND TO GO DOWN AT 81 MINUTES. WE'RE ONLY 8 POINTS AHEAD. WE NEED THIS.
i'm not going to lie and say i wasn't frustrated by the game or annoyed by the fact that the only goals were penalties. but i'm not going to say it wasn't worth watching either. all in all, it was a pretty shit game. we didn't take the oppertunities that we could have and madrid drew with us with 10 men. whether this affects us in the long run with the league title is something that cannot be told from this point in time so we can leave it. in a way, a draw at the bernabau is not so bad anyway, but seriously, 10 men, and a draw? and don't get me started on the ref.
either way, 3 more to go, we better get through to the champions. just saying.
sigh. i will stop ranting.

Barcelona Real Sociedad - LATE

so in the middle of my christmas break i've decided i really want to watch the match against sociedad that i'd missed earlier this month. again, i already know the score, and will be pretty brief with this one because it's on dvr and i can fast forward if i want to.


After a few early attempts there is a foul on victor valdes. it was a close call though... don't think sociedad would've scored from that anyway.
You know xabi alonso spent his youth and early years in sociedad, i can't help but feel some respect for the club who groomed such a man.
oof! Iniesta is in new nike ctr360s! i like them.

Mascherano is booked 7 minutes in. yes, it was a very late tackle, it was a good call.

VILLA GOAL! it looked like an easy goal, great timing from Pedro's assist, and great finish. This is 9 minutes in.

Ah damn, pedro's shot goes over the crossbar after Alves' cross. so close!

Commentator is making fun of Messi! "David Villa's cross is overshot, little Leo Messi was his target man at the side of the goal, not a large target man of course" - cruel. whatever he lacks in physical form he makes up for in talent. hugely.

Dani Alves weaving through the sociedad defence. There's just way too many of them in there, he does make a typical Barcelona run.
And there was a pass so badly aimed at that it resembled something I would have done on PES.

The camera man is so obviously trying to gesture the commentator to talk about Barcelona's last apparence in the shirt with the World Champions badge. He's just not taking the hint. So I'll say it. Because of the Club World Cup final taking place after this game, new World Champions will be named, who we now know to be Inter Milan. (also showing how important the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Inter Milan was, considering that they won the Champion's League and qualified for the club world cup, and potentially if Barcelona had held their early lead during that game they could've gone on to do all that)

What an effort wasted from Sociedad. A ball from his own half saw a run 50 yards on and no good finish. -wait, why am i writing so strangely obsurely?

And then what a fucking mess this is. 5 shots were taken time after time. Messi's original shot, and then these shots followed: Xavi, Messi again, Villa, and then Dani Alves is offside. 5 shots in a row, and 5 misses in a row. ANGRY FACE! >:(

GOAL! INIESTA! In a one-two with Pedrito he's scored in the corner of the goal left empty by the keeper.

And then came the series of fumbles. David Villa takes a shot at the keeper, who manages to block it but not hold on to it, and it wobbled back to David Villa, who shoots it straight at the keeper again. why though? the keeper was about 5 yards from the goal! the GOAL WAS EMPTY.
ANGRY FACE AGAIN! >:(

Sociedad takes a shot and is deflected far away from the goal. for some strange reason though Victor Valdes is on the floor. BUT NO ONE TOUCHED HIM? no ball was near him. Im really confused.
and then nothing happens for 5 minutes. I know this because im reading the commentry.

Second half!
LEO MESSI CUT YOUR HAIR PLEASE. POR FAVOR.
if after the christmas break Messi cuts his hair short i will be a happy child.

MESSI GOAL! perhaps i shouldn't be talking about hair when messi scores 2 minutes into the half. so there was 3 one-twos between Alves and Messi, beating 6 Sociedad players in defence. I do like team effort goals, i do also like their relationship on pitch.

Busquets is on for Mascherano.
WHERE IS BOJAN.
i hate it when they swap sides after half time.

fuck, busquets is diving again. i mean, yes it was a late challenge. but he needed have gone down. it annoys me just a bit when he does that. okay, some 5 minutes after he's "taken down" again. fucking hell. show some respect. 2 minutes later something is up and the medical staff are poking at his eye. think he's contacts are giving him trouble.

61 minutes in - Bojan is on for Pedro! did i just fast forward to this? maybe....

Iniesta is taken down in the box! no one ever gives penalties to Barca! not even a spot kick. but seriously, in 4 months, there has only been ONE penalty given to us, which Leo Messi took.

Xavi is off for Keita. Well, now that Ibi Afellay has signed for Barca, either he's going to be a bit of a waste of a signing or Keita will be permanently benched, or iniesta will have some rest time. But i will comment more on afellay later.

Fuck Messi's shot goes off the post. You know you can really see the power put into a shot when it's rebounding off the post.

LEO MESSI GOAAAALLLL! WHAT! that was amazing! he just runs around 5 defenders who just don't know what to do with him! Bojan passes to him, and he out runs 5 defenders who were IN FRONT of him. so lets put this on a linear view. If this was a race, of the 10 yards he just ran, the 5 defenders would've been paced one after another each about a yard a head of each other, and they all start running. Messi, at the start of the 10 yards would beat all of them.

BOJAN GOAL! YES! right that was amazing too! going to rewind it.... so he's running down top speed to the goal, takes a shot, it's saved and rebounded back to him, and then he just fires it to the back of the net. what a goal. Messi is the first one he hugs. obviously.

I was really impressed by how chilled Eric Abidal is all the time. it seems like nothing could actually annoy him. Probably just really experienced.
where was gerard pique? Alves was in the backling with puyol, maxwell and abidal. which also works, apparently.

and that's all. i need to go watch the arsenal v chelsea game now.

LATE GAME. Barcelona Osasuna

Am annoyed right now because the Spanish Football Federation messed with the timings and took back the approval for barcelona to postpone the match til tomorrow. and so they'd just made a crazy trip and went to zaragoza by train and off to a 200 km bus ride to pampola. insanity. so now they're here 49 minutes late. I hope no one gets motion sickness.

Barcelona has new away shorts! shame, i liked the blue ones...
am worried because osasuna has been unbeaten at home and they're looking like the better team a few minutes into the game.
ahaaa.. villa trips and misses his chance.
dude, i've seen this ref many time before...
oho shit so close villa is to scoring once again...
the icy pitch is not helping.
shit, osasuna is really doing well. barca can't hold posession in their own half.
pique has given away a free kick with a foul from a corner...
what! ref says no foul when messi is taken down.
and now osasuna is freaking out because they're asking for a penalty. i think he was diving.
i guess the fouls cancel each other out.
woho shit valdes accidently chucks the ball to the wrong person. lucky he redeems himself by saving it.
david villa offside No. 1.
the osasuna shit looks like a thermal undershit that people wear to ski.
pedro GOAAAL!!!! finally! 1 - 0. leo messi assist (i love leo messi). jedi run from him. and great timing from pedro. i hope messi scores tonight.
messi's shot hits the post. dammit.
pique just came in from the right of my screen. he looks giant.
TV dimentions are annoying because sometimes you think you're seeing the ball go left but it's actually going right.
camera zooms into the ref's finger... camera man, are you bored or something?
i'm annoyed at how all messi's shots are blocked or hitting the post.
icy slippery pitch is not helping anyone.
whoops i fell asleep at half time. it is 5 am anyway. and no goals have been scored since the first. it's now 52 minutes in.
Leo messi is less Jedi tonight...
Villa' shot is wide. annoyance.
Osasuna need to stop diving.
Guardiola is looking more mellow than usual. i wonder what's up.
it would certainly be awesome if leo messi could score a goal tonight.
oh right, just as i said that MESSI SCORES A GOAL! JEDDIIII. that was one crazy break there. insane speed. i feel a bit jedi for saying that at the right moment.
oho shit what a jedi run with no goal for messi. what a shame. it's one of those runs which we see in his goal against getafe
what a shame he doesn't score.
a bit of a fight type thing here, nothing like barca madrid one though. they reckon busquests has dived. but they weren't going for the ball either. so a yellow for each was a good decision.
dude what the fuck the linesmen is saying the ball's gone out when it hasn't.
dammit! villa SO close! AND onside!
Villa offside no.2. i may have missed one cosidering that i fell asleep.
looks like the camera man is playing with his extreme zoom again.
Villa's shot is saved.
Keita is on for Xavi. Mascherano is yet to see a game since a few games ago.
PENALTY! on messi! come on leo messi, COME ON. barca's first penalty all season OHO! YES. 3 - 0. and it looked. SO. EASY. okay i was so nervous just then that my legs just cramped up.
Villa's shot is blocked by ricardo agian.
substitutions to waste time, bojan on for villa and jeffern for pedro.
bojan's shot is wide! it was close though, would've been amazing.
FULL TIME 3- 0.
we see puyol taking his shirt off. he is, still, ripped, to the max.
so this game means barca will keep the lead on la liga no matter how real madrid plays tonight. and there were NO yellow cards!? strange.
i realise i haven't mentioned iniesta at all this game. he was amazing as usual and his hair is starting to grow into a faux hawk, but it's in its very early stages.

EL CLASICO!!!!!

okay so my annoying friend ruined the game for me.
but it's the BIGGEST GAME OMG!
either way, ruined or not i heard it was the best clasico in a while and am SO excited to watch it.
KICK OFF!
14s in and ronaldo has already dived!
a few oppertunities with the ball in the area but no real attempt yet.
Hand ball from Pedro.
The camp nou is in chants: "boti boti boti madridista qui no boti" consequently my favourite chant from us.
Valdes witha good save blocking a cross from ronaldo.
He is taken down by pique who has run into his head.
Pinto warming up in case anything happens to Valdes.
oh my god WHAT! messi with an amazing run. people are argueing that it went out.
The corner is taken and messi's shot hits the post!
Madrid has some really annoying defence tatics. they just keep kicking it out of play.
Ronaldo with some crazy as skill on the ball. he looks like a puppet or something. could be a new dance move.
XAVI GOAL!!! OMG WHAT I DIDN"T SEE IT! REWINDING.... whoops over did it...
OMG FUCK THAT"S A BEAUTIFUL GOAL! the ball flips on from iniesta and xavi plays it past with crazy control! 10 minutes in and we're in the lead!
Di Maria going for goal! saved by victor valdes. good save!
Ozil takes the corner... he hasn't really made an impression this game until now... Ramos with a failed header...
Benzema is blocked bu Valdes and Abidal! it's out for a madrid corner.. another failed header from ramos!
I love that barca are just passing around to mind madrid up... OMG PEDRO! GOALLLLLL!
2 - 0 ! 17 minutes in! I think they just caught madrid off guard. WHAT A GREAT CROSS FROM VILLA AND GREAT FINISH FROM PEDRO. ramos and casillas were caught off guard.
Villa with one of his many offsides...
Xabi Alonso takes a free kick... ginger beard in the close up... Benzema with a failed cross.
Ramos is freaking out. He's talking to the ref, asking for a free kick.
Guardiola is shouting again... "yes we're winning 2 - 0, but i can never be satisfied!".... I love guardiola.
Barca just won 4 consecutive headers. amazing.
Ahhhh Pedro bailed on his one on one with Casillas with a chance of a shot.... i guess he got intimidated.
I hope the rain gets hard enough for us to see ronaldo's hair flop...
HAHAHHAA THEY JUST DID A SPLIT SCREEN OF THE COACHES ON THE SECOND GOAL.
dude fuck some fight is getting on...
Valdes has left his box, pique is fired up. OHHHH
ronaldo pushed guardiola on the chest. but it was disrespect. i think i would freak out if i was there... the man is looking like he's done nothing wrong. he's just smiling. Valdes is carded for taking the 50 yard run to shout at ronaldo, and ronaldo is also carded. What's strange is that pique is the one trying to calm them down, yet he's normally the one that causes trouble.
Villa is carded for pushing Khedira. Ronaldo with a free kick some 30 yards out. the barca fans are going crazy. He goes for goal! the shot is wide!
Pepe is carded for lashing across Messi's neck with his hand...
Villa is offside... the second time on my count. Xabi with am amazing pass... but the ball is cleared by puyol. Corner is blocked.
Ronaldo is blocked by Valdes. He asked for a penalty... a goal kick is given... ownage.
What a Jedi run from Messi, but the shot is wide. his hair is getting to an annoying length now.
Messi is taken down... no foul.
Di Maria and Busquest both diving... ronaldo takes a shot from distance... Easy save for Valdes.
MESSI IS ELBOWED IN THE FACE BY CARVALIO! OH WAIT NO. MESSI HAS DIVED. WHAT!. well, actually he just exaggerated a bit... he was just swept in the face... messi is booked.
...oh the commentator is so confusing....
-------HALF TIME------- 2 - 0 to Barca.... couldn't have asked for more...
It's been a violent and intresting half. What a great game so far...
i'm laughing now because the stats say barca had 61% of the posession in the first half...
The Channel switched back to the pitch to early... they're just playing a compliation of the fails and coaches' reactions... waste of advertising time...
Marcelo's cross is stopped by Valdes.
UH MESSI HOLDS ON THE THE BALL WHEN VILLA WAS COMPLETELY FREE. WHY MESSI. WHY!
Xabi alonso is booked. that's two late challenges in 2 minutes.
damn, xavi was challenged by khedira... could've been a second goal for him. it was close...
It seems madrid has stepped up a bit since half time... finally finding their usual form...
VILLA GOAL No. 3!!!! what a goal! messi in assist! Alonso is so annoyed! i love alonso, and as much as i hate to see him frustrated i am delighted that Villa has scored his first clasico goal!
OMG FUCKING GOD VILLA SCORES AGAIN! 4 - 0 WHAT IS THIS AMAZING NIGHT! VILLA!!!!!!! That was about 2 minutes after his first! AMAZINGG! and his play against his spanish captain was such an amazing one... can't believe i ever doubted this man...
the commentator is saying that "if ronaldo had any fans before this game, the might have lost them all... " do they exist? catalan ronaldo fans? such a creature is hard to imagine.
OHO almost a goal from behind the half way line. sergio busquets' shot just over the crossbar. not a bad effort considering the distance.
Messi with a few other Jedi runs.
Carvalio is booked for deliberate handball.
i'm still waiting for the violence that i was told of.
Villa is taken down by serigo ramos! Ramos is booked. he just kicks him in the back of the knee!
Khedira is booked for a late challenge! HAHA Real Madrid have 9 yellow cards!
Villa is off for Bojan! what a great night Villa has had...
Bojan's first touch is at crazy speed but he lose his balance and his second shot is straight at casillas!
HAHA Ronaldo trying to call for a corner when it's actually a goal kick... the fans are all giving him the finger! I love this! Spanish football at its best.
Casillas looks like he's about to cry. I feel sorry for him, he's such an amazing keeper and it's not his fault.
Pedro is brought down. for some strange reason xavi is doing the medical on him. where is the physio team... fail...
Puyol is injured... something up with his ankle.
Keita is on for Xavi. Pedro for Jeffern. Oh i don't like Jeffern.
HAHA as soon as ronaldo gets near the stands all the boos roar up. amazing.
Jeffern GOAL! 5 - 0 from a cross from Bojan! doesn't change my views about him. But it was STILL an amazing goal.
alright a fight is comming up. ramos red carded for a foul on messi. omg it finally happend. was waiting all game for this. Casillas the captain tries to settle things. Messi is injured. Let's lookn at the replay. He first kicks Leo Messi, then pushes Puyol in the face, that Xavi comes down from the stands and he ramos pushes him as well. what a riot. that's what i was waiting for. Casillas is shouting at Pique. It's hard to believe they're a team in the national team. they seem to HATE each other! i'm sure it all stays on the pitch though. I can't wait to see what the real madrid website has to say about this. they normally have some cocky slogan after each game.
What a great game and amazing night it has been. and as they walk off the pitch it becomes apparent that messi is incredibly short. Shame he didn't score tonight. He's had a great game. Hope the injury isn't long lasting.

Gah, amazing victory. Barca is also at the top of the league now. what a game! and what a riot it was as well. AND WHAT A MIDDLE FINGER THIS HAS BEEN TO REAL MADRID. YEAH. IN YOUR FACE.
Well, that's it for now. It's been amazing football all the way.

Almeria Barcelona - hahaha.

So i forgot that my google homepage had football scores on it and accidently saw it before watching my recorded game.
and therefore i KNOW that real madrid is still ahead of barca before the match against the two. which is rather annoying to me.

1. Loving the turquoise away kit! We'd seen it a few times this season before, maybe i should get one for myself.... it's my favourite out of the three. Mint Chocolate Chip coloured.

2. Fontas is in for Pique because apparently he picked up a minor injury against portugal with spain earlier this week, and he's a card away from a match ban, with el clasico around the corner.

3. David Villa's shot is just half a meter wide! this is 2 minutes into the game.

4. Valdes with a very comfortable save. weak attempt.

5. i'm thinking of fast forwarding til the first goal... Gerard Pique is looking bored on the bench.

6. I am hating Xavi's lime green Adidas Predator boots.

7. Right, Alves is wearing a long sleved base layer shirt under his short sleved shirt. not a good look. just wear the long sleeved shirt! actually he's not the only one. i am not liking this.

8. what a goal from messi!

9. just 2 minutes later iniesta with another goal!

10. guardiola is firing up. why? it's 22 minutes in and we're winning 2 - 0.

11. ALMERIA OWN GOAL. from the captain as well! and it wasn't one of those "debatable and accidentally lightly deflected" own goals, he actually, kicked it in. so it's 3 - 0.

12. Fontas isn't the worst looking chap in the world.

13. why is messi taking a corner when xavi is there?

14. easy easy goal for pedro! fontas assist! i did also mention he's a decent footballer didn't i? his assist was from about 50 yards away. amazing that it's both on side and on target.

15. just one minute later messi scores a second! 37 minutes in 5 - 0 to barcelona.

16. half time.

17. Thiago is on for xavi and Keita for iniesta, or keite, as puyol calls him.

18. Thiago with a shot on target. it is saved however. when does he officially get on the first team squad? he's come on like 5 times for them this season. that's more than adriano.

19. Thiago is booked for a late tackle. I don't think he's ever been booked with the first team.

20. Bojan is on for Pedro. Good. Good.

21. fasting forward... nah. i want to watch this. bojan with a good run.

22. Valdes with a great save! it was a great strike as well, just about to curve under the crossbar.

23. GOAL for BOJAN! first goal in la liga! just flicks it past the defence! great solo effort.

24. HAT TRICK for leo messi! ball came of a sloppy save from the goal keeper. 7 - 0, one goal left.

25. Piatti is really pissed off. As i would be if i were losing by 7 goals and kept getting denied of my goals.

26. messi crosses to bojan and it's another goal! this is a good night for bojan. okay. that's all the goals. it is 8 - 0. it looks rediculous. it's kind of funny. i like this.

okay. i'm going to stop watching this now.
im so annoyed that real madrid is still on top of the league after this.
you know they should stop counting penalty goals as goals. because then messi would be ahead of ronaldo on the goal sheet.
right. next game is champions league. i will not be watching it live.

Villarreal Barcelona

I keep ruining my own games by googling the result before i go watch it on my dvr.
anyway i don't have much time so i will be fast forwarding.

1. Iniesta is one of those strange people who would actually look better if he were bald.

2. He's now done 3 amazng runs already, and it's 5 minutes in

3. Oh yeah, Pique is on match ban and milito is injured again from the copa del rey game. So abidal has shifted to the centre back position

4. Barca are literally making goal attempts every minute. I'm not complaining

5. We look like an extremely small (in terms of height) team compared to villarreal.

6. messi what a good header! excellently saved though. why is messi good at heading? he's not exactly the tallest.... I wonder what his goal tally will be at the end of the season... hope he beats cristiano ronaldo. apparently last year ronaldo said "if you look at what the footballers did this season, it's obvious that i have done the most" WHAT?

7. Puyol is pushed off... i think he was dramatizing it a bit. But if it were ronaldo he'd be off in a stretcher.

8. a series of fails at the barcelona goal. but there's no goal.

9. DAVID VILLA SCORES! 21 minutes! what a great goal as well. Camera goes to pique and milito in the stands, both looking delighted. I feel sorry for Valdes, because he only ever gets to celebrate alone. As did Casillas in the World Cup final.

10. Disallowed offside goal from Barca. VILLARREAL GOAL! RIGHT on the counterattack! Guardiloa is appealing for some sort of foul. i'm not seeing it. Nilmars goal celebration is... sucking on his thumb!?

11. Right, Now i see what Guardiola was on about the Villarreal goal. basically he said barca's goal wasn't offside in the first place, and that the counterattack wouldn't have happend anyway. I think he might be right.

12. If i hadn't checked the scores before i would literally be shitting myself. Because the last 2 minutes have been played within aobut 10 meters from the barca goal. Villarreal can't get anywhere from there.

13. Abidal is booked! Villareal taking a free kick from about 18 meters out from the goal. Valdes with a great save.

14. Linesmen calling a wrong offside again. it's starting to piss me off.

15. Messi, Xavi, Busquets, Alves and Pedro are talking to the refs about the offside calls earlier after the final whistle for the first half. They seem too tired to actually put up a fight. SO TECHNICALLY it should be 2 - 0.

16. EW love the way you lie is playing in camp nou! WHYYYYYYY! crowd is not responding, im proud of them.

17. xavi is down... he looks okay now. free kick given.

18. I reckon Villarreal and Barca have compatible styles... this is a really good game.

19. WHY HAS LEO MESSI GOT A GINGER BEARD! i am in serious doubt that he's participating in the movember movement... and the biggest question was why it was ginger, not why it was there.

20. HAHA xavi is running. i guess there's a first for everything.

21. MESSI GOOOOLLLL. WHAT A GOAL IT IS! initially i thought he had hit the side netting. but it was just a crazy angle that he scored for. if it were anyone else it would've gone out. amazing. amazing. he was literally like 2 meters from the goal line!

22. okay... i just fast forwarded a bit and now keita is on, except i have no idea when it happend of who he came on for.

23. Iniesta is down. he better not actually get injured. he's been on every minute of this season of the league i believe.

24. MESSI SCORES. it looked so easy for him. It looks offside. But whatever, it makes up for the one before.
okay that's all the goals. 3 - 1 Barcelona. i have to go.
The chance of barca actually heading the table for the week is very low. it's not like real madrid will lose to Gijon anyway.

Barcelona Getafe

basically last night i watched the first half and now can't be bothered to rewatch it.
before half time:
1. leo messi and david villa both scored, although they did miss some oppertunities before.

2. they all look rediculous in their hot pink away kits. seriously, no one looks good in those colours.

3. the commentator was quite baised.


4. he also said "other players may have opted to go down but leo messi chose to stay up, not naming any names", and then later he said it was ronaldo who obviously is a cheat and dives all the time. i too admire leo messi's honestly.

5. am rather annoyed at the shit games arsenal have played this week. but am super impressed about the liverpool win.

6. this stadium, alfonso perez, has an old, run down look to it. the lights make the game annoying to watch.

7. i ruined this game for myself by reading the score on the internet.

so this is a pretty slow game so i'm going to skip through some of it.

I think mascherano is doing great so far.
everytime xavi plays now i think he's straining himself. but he thinks he's doing okay so i shall not complain.
messi is denied again with the offside.
skipped to see messi's injury.... what's this....
ouch... looking bad. ew his legs are bruised.
alves with a rediculous attempt at the free kick. shame really.
puyol with a friendly arm around the getafe player who tried to claim an obviously barca throw in.
hahahaha mascherano with a sucessful dive. if it were against barca i would be annoyed.
HAHAHAHHAHAHHA PEDRO WHAT A FLUKE OF A GOAL! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA.
basically, messi intercepts a getafe playing casually passing it to his keeper. and he just flicks it to pedro. and since the keeper had came out for the ball pedro was already in front. and so he just lightly taps it into the net.
whatever, it's a barca goal, it's good.
WAIT WHAT. pique is red carded! WHAT. WHAT!
oh right he handballed. but he's really pissed. like really pissed.
valdes can't save the penalty.
3 - 1
pique is at risk of missing the madrid game again. he better not screw up in the Almeria game, because if he gets a yellow card he will be suspended for el clasico.
if i were guardiola i wouldn't play him that game, i would play milito, and save pique for el clasico.
damn, iniesta's goal is denied by the keeper.
boeteng is booked for the second time and sent off for nailing mascherano. so it's 10 a side now.
you know what? that's all the goals in the game. i don't care anymore.
yeah that's it.
also real madrid beat atletico 2 - 0 in the madrid derby.
so barca is still one point behind.
i'm really annoyed about that.
next week saturday game, against villarreal, shall be a hard game.
so that's it for today.
WTF the pink kit looks orange in the pictures.

Barcelona Zaragoza

So i just got back and it is 9 minutes into the game.
actually i thought it started t 11.30, but the local broadcaster lies to me all the time.
pedro's beard making him look more italian than ever.
oh right yeah he's back from injury.
busquests keeps loosing the ball... like he's drunk or something. that's kinda annoying me, just a bit.
dammit, villa is blocked again. he needs to score soon.
dude, messi is comming in with these amazing attemps.
dammit zaragoza have a good keeper.
you know if gerard pique just jumped for a ball it means it's more than 6'4 high.
and i have a feeling it's going to be one of those mallorca/hercules games. like all 11 players in defence from zaragoza. annoying.
dude, the linesmen just called an offside when it really wasn't. fucking shit.
HAHAHA the ref just called a no go for leo messi's free kick, apparently he was moving.
he just did a "huh? not sure what you're talking about" eyebrow raise. it was rather funny looking.
barca has 81% posession and it's still 0 - 0
free kick, like 20 years away, leo messi poor attempt.
villa is denied. again and offside. again.
OH DEAR. pique is injured.
i think he's dislocated his shoulder. lucky it's football.
pedro misses a very good counter attack. dammmiiitt.
pique is firing up asking for a freekick. i dunno if it's a dive or not from sergio busquests.
zaragoza people are diving a lot. annoying shitface.
keita collides with the goalkeeper who does a full backflip... he feels no pain?
pep is looking really crestfallen... like his cat died this morning or something.
LEO MESSI SCORE omg. 1- 0. great counter attack. amazing. loving the messi/villa bromance.
lafeta is diving. annoyence.
Leo messi is fouled.
end of first half.
im rather annoyed because my mother forgot to put the cheese in the fridge for 3 hours.
God it would suck if zaragoza won... they haven't won a single game this season.
Dani Alves is down.... OMG red for zaragoza. he's so pissed off. the commentator is so stupid. he said it was pedro down, even though it was clearly alves who rolled over with the number 2 and his name was waaay to long to be pedro.
he looks like he's been hit in the ear. the red is probably because he didn't even have the ball.
i actually didn't see it til the replay, was mostly concentrating on the ball.
my mother just changed the channel. excellent .
changed back, it's still 1 - 0
shit... villa ran out of space.
thiago is warming up with mascherano.
leo messi goes for goal twice, once after a block. miss. shame.
villa is playing really far back... maybe he knows he can't score.
OMG MESSI. SECOND GOLLLLLL. shit. that was from like 17 yard away. what the hell.
it was from a double deflection. wow. wowowowowow.
i hope thiago is comming on for keita, not iniesta. pep is talking to him.
omg people need to stop killing alves. again. he's basically wrestles.
oh fuck. it is iniesta who comes off. WHY PEP WHY.
whatever, thiago is good as well.
bojan is warming up. he's on for pedro. coolio.
bojan's shot is extra wide.
actually it was deflected extra wide. super powerful though.
haha bojan is pushed down. foul is given. i am happy.
pique with a great challenge.
valdes with an amazing save!
villa is offside again. gosh. annoyence.
bojan is really annoyed because he was the better person to pass to.
6 minutes left. i want to see another goal though.
Villa is denied. i am so annoyed for him.
mascherano is on for busquests.
pique is booked even though the fucking zaragoza dude fired the ball at his arm.
i am fucking annoyed. what the fuck. no justice here.
there's a replay of a zaragoza shot, valdes has leaped at least a metre and a half in the air. looking a bit weird.
GOD THAT WASN"T OFFSIDE THIS LINEMAN IS SO SHIT I HATE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART.
GOD VILLA IS DENIED AGAIN. oh my god.
pep looks like a 5 year old who dropped his ice cream.
FULL TIME. annoyance.
okay done. next game. erm. barcelona..... copa del rey.... tuesday.
well. i don't know if i will watch it, given that it's like the first round. and it's late
i'm not even sure if i get coverage of it. yeah i don't think i'll watch it.
anyway, sevilla in the spanish league next... it's also bloody late so i'll just record it. plus i'm back from my 3 day hike so i will be dead!
okay. that's all for today.

Barcelona V Copenhagen, 1st Leg. - injustice again.

i'm rather worried about tonight's game because firstly it is a very important game, and barcelona's #1 Victor Valdes is off sick.
oh! 4 minutes in and villa goes with a shot on target...
they really have to stop with these attempts, because year by year people are getting to know to play defensively and learning to deny them of chances.
villa offside no.1. i think i'll count them today. because he's rediculous with them.
iniesta is blocked off. what did i say earlier...
i'm kind of glad keita isn't starting. i haven't got anything against him but he's really... not that impressive.
just realised he's the only african by nationality on this side.
alves is in a different coloured pair of boots.
maxwell's shot is saved but messi goes for goal.... he's offside. what a shame.
okay.... well i trailed off for a few minutes because i went to erm... cut my toenails.
anyway, in those few minutes a couple of shots but no goals.
OH LEO MESSI I LOVE YOU. WITH ALL MY HEART. what a goal!
oh dear... from outside the box as well! oh leo messi, what will we do without you.
just... amazing. no smile from him... oh wait there it is. someone with an inflatable banana flalling thing! like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpkJoQUFqXM ..in a barca kit. i want one, where can i buy it?
leo messi's shot gone wide... copenhagan has a man down....
oh dani alves with solid denfence. he's just the everything player... play maker, defender, goal scorer.
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA copenhagen striker stopped half way through is run, he thought he was offside, but he ran from his own half. paranoid bastard. their coach is so pissed off. HAHAHHAHAAHAHA.
HAHA copenhagen initials are FCK.
i really need the bathroom but i've waited all week for this game.
bojan is looking bored as fuck on the bench... next to xavi, who is there "just in case"
david villa scores offside - #2
shame the score should be 3 - 0 by now.
so close! great save though. villa is literally about 8 yards from him. really good save.
what a dive. it's so not a foul. stupid assface.
this is what i hate about football sometimes
i hope pinto never really has to make a save. even though i know he can do it. his performance in the Joan Gamper cup was rather impressive, especially when it ended in penalities and he saved 3.
ball cleared to pinto who controls it with his feet. cool.
iniesta playing out of position. he's in dani alves' spot. referee thinks he's dived. it doesn't look that way. i'm rather annoyed.
shit. another offside goal. pique should really have just scored it himself. messi was offside, who was there to recieve it from pique. he should've just smashed it into the net himself. i'm rather annoyed. and i'm not the only one. Pep is freaking out.
alves is blocked by the keeper. some extreme, and i mean extreme dribbling, it's almost leo messi like.
what? iniesta shoots it way off? i have never... seen... that... before.... or seen him... made... ANY... mistake... ever...
i wonder who will captain the squad when puyol retires... he's 32 now, xavi seems to take up the armband when he's absent. Valdes when they're both away. but i don't see Valdes being a permanant goal keeper. Messi already has the fate of the club in his hands. maybe iniesta. or pique. i dunno.
pique is spinning around like a madman, attacked from both back and forth.
NO extra time in this half? what? the first half finish at 45.05
barcelona 1 - 0 copenhagen.
it really should be 4 - 0 but the offside rule is rather frustrating.
haha fifa 11 commercial. the only one missing in it is messi, always the rebel. PES 2011, Adidas football, always the one who's different to the rest of the sqaud.
to be honest, as a Barca fan, i'm dissatisfied with the score so far.
i feel like two of the disallowed goals are actually legit. and justice has not been served.
david villa is better looking today. maybe it's the light.
second half! good luck barca!!
puyol and pinto have been going back and forth for about 30 seconds straight.
at 3.49 am i am enjoying a cheese sausage.
copenhagen are smore aggresive after the break. i am rather worried.
barcelona people who are hard to please: Pep Guardiola, Leo Messi, David Villa.
Puyol is injured. he's enduring it but he's in pain.
i swear to god if copenhagen equalize i will fucking shame this referee. and the linesmen. because of the "offside" goals.
barcelona need to be more aware of the spaces. in relativity to the pitch not the team. its costing them a lot.
tiredness just hit me like a truck all of a sudden.
there are duck like cries in the audio of this game. i dunno if it came from the players or the audience. players i think.
messi looking absolutly gutted that his shot is off target.
villa is underachiving on the barcelona side. there's no doubt about it now.
the stupid commentator needs to stop complaining about why villa is the only one in the box.
has he not realised that all the forwards of barca are capible of scoring outside it?
i wonder if football to professional players have become more of a performance than a sport. have they lost the inital essence of sport?
whatever, leo messi is on the counter attack but is soon blocked off. his speed however... is rediculous.
FUCK. villa is fouled by two people in the box. referee is a fucking retard. no free kick, no card, no penalty.
hahahahhaaha copenhagen... shooting from 40 yards out.... it's the sort of thing i did on PES before working out the controls.
HAHA miss 5 yards out. Pinto was out after the first touch. hahahaa... fail with an empty goal as well.
xavi and pedro are warming up. pedero better be on for villa. because he's shit today.
grah, saved. david villa is going to freak out. he has not scored for barca in a while.
wait a minute... maxwell is off pedro, and villa is off for xavi... i think they did it wrong way around.
alves stops an equaliser. why are the commentators complaining about him? he's the most expensive defender in La Liga.
1 - 0 is really not a safe score to settle on...
the commentator is saying that ibrah was good for barcelona... what the shiiit?
he also pronounces "jose" wrong. he's not my fav.
oh my god, stop hesistating and missing chances.
why can't they just play with a score like arsenal last night.
who just got carded? i just checked, it was iniesta... i didn't see what was up with that... kicked the ball away in annoyence or something. he never gets booked. but if he gets a double yellow witha match ban we will probably die.
AHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH copenhagan coach picks up the ball on pitch. referee has a go at him. HAHAHAHHAA. if only he could book the coach. apparently he was clinically dead for a while...
oh my shit.... 5 minutes and a copenhagan corner...
dear, goal off the post. dani alves, just a fraction off.
oscar wendt has rediculous hair. it makes me want to throw up.
iniesta is off for... keita! DAMMIT!
this game is giving me heart attacks. i can't help but think if the score was 4 - 0 i would be feeling a bit safer. just a tad bit. dammit, 3 minutes extra time. hurry up!
messi. MESSI. MESSI. MESSI. MESSI. GOOOOOOL.
excellent control. i have to give abidal credit with an incredible cross.
FULL TIME!
WIN WIN WIN!!!
i think uefa ought to tally up the points now so i don't have to bother doing it myself. it's 4.40 and i cannot think straight.
Next Barca Liga game is on a sunday night, so DVR replay for me.
Next CL game is the same same on the 2nd of Nov.
MESSIIIIIII. i enjoy that he recently reinforced his everlasting love for barcelona and stating his intention of staying there forever.
full time: 2 - 0, Messi 19', 91' (wow, weird)

Barcelona V Hercules

So Javier Mascherano's debut.
Barcelona against the newly promoted Hercules from the second division in spain.
For some reason this week ronaldo will be playing for Madrid, I say for some reason because 2 weeks ago they annouced he would be out for about a month after an ankle injury. what now?
The camera focuses on Leo Messi in the tunnel, clearly zoned out and chewing gum. he doesn't seem nervous.
Valdez with the captain's armband.
the game kicks off.
why is pique in a long sleeved shirt? isn't it boiling out...
puyol is apparently unable to appear in this game due to injury.
mascherano first touches of the ball in the barca shirt, not bad.
ball just skipping around the backline of barcelona.
Keita skipping around with the ball a bit.
Messi takes a shot right at the keeper, unchallenging save.
Bojan comes close to scoring his first goal of the season but shoots it wide.
Throw in taken by messi and villa heads it over the crossbar.
oh villa and his amazing heel flicks. just incredible.
personally 15 minutes in I thought barca would've scored by now. dissapointing.
OH MESSI WITH AN AMAZING RUN. GOT PAST SOME 3 DEFENDERS.
shame there was no support from his fellow team mates.
why the fuck didn't they put Dani Alves on?
Mascherano Yellow Carded. already? first game for barcelona, let's hope it doesn't go down like Joe Cole's debut for liverpool.
Commentator with a rediculous speed talking on messi's run.
WHAT THE FUCK HERCULES GOAL. FUCKING. WHAT. THE SHIT. NELSON VALDEZ.
barcelona getting owned by the newly promoted hercules. what the fuck is going on.
Last Season Barcelona won the liga, hercules was 2nd in the second division. what has the world come to. gravity might as well just dissapear now.
PIQUE almost scores. god would've been fucking impressive. he looks injured, in pain. he stays on.
Hercules players need to all stop diving.
How shameful is this! how can barcelona be behind on the scoresheet. what the fuck. fuck. fuck.
Couple of attempts from Barca, no sucess. Pique goes for goal again. so close. so fucking close.
Wouldn't it be nice to hear what Guardiola has to say at half time. he's going to fucking explode.
and pique over the bar again! FOR GOD SAKES SOMEONE SCORE.
Villa needs to stop arguing with the ref before he get in trouble. even if he didn't do anything in the first place.
Adriano diving after being slapped in the face. Messi is headbutting. Pique shouting at someone. Lots of shoving around. fucking. hell. what is this.
Adriano booked by the Ref
One minute before guardiola kills the team at half time.
One minute extra time? seems little considering the drama.
FUCK WHAT IS THIS. HALF TIME AND BARCELONA IS FUCKING LOOSING. WHAT THE SHIT. IS THIS. OH MY GOD.
2nd Half.
Xavi is here to save the day? let's hope so.
pedro passes to xavi who shoots it wide. he's so pissed off. but so am i.
fuck here comes like 15 oppertunites that were missed by barca.
Pedro is running around like a dog because they keep passing it over him.
FUCKING
NELSON
VALDEZ
FUCK
2 - 0 TO HERCULES. WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS.
bojan looks absolutly depressed on the bench.
i have stopped commenting because i'm too angry to do so.
and now my father is here to bother me, knowing NOTHING about football. i want him to go away and for me to grieve in piece.
pique is bleeding. everywhere
his face is covered in blood. everywhere. his head... leaking blood everywhere... face... covered in blood.
he's off to the sidelines.
he comes back on. WHAT!
4 minutes stoppage time.
what a waste.
2 - 0 hercules.
barcelona 73% posession. what is this. shit.
what is this. mother fucking sons of bitches lost to fucking bollocks hercules.
whatever. huge waste of my time.
camp nou is a place of moruning tonight, mourning of the pride which the cules once had for their home team. i don't understand what happend tonight. i dont really want to.
that's it. it's one depressing night for one who has waited all week for this game.
i have lost faith in barcelona... don't know if i should passionately support them at the risk of my own pride and feelings. am i being melodramatic? probably. don't care.
no one reads this blog.
