- Thread starter jojojo

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
Barcelona playing with 10 men since they have used all their subs, and it looks as though the thigh of Messi has gone again, hence the reason why he went off.
Atlético bottling it completely... two laughable goals conceded
Atleti just love losing to the big 2. They used to have a good record againsy barca but this is heading for 6 straight defeats to them.
Haven't seen the game, did Atletico rest anyone?
Filipe, Mario and Diego Costa. Falcao came off after about 65 minutes.
And Costa came on for Falcao
Oliver Torres played for about a quarter hour and already looked better than Cesc
Ok, cheers.
Messi didn't do much, but one notable moment and another one a bit funny.
Just look at how the Barça players are standing still staring at Messi in the 2nd one, it's ridiculous. There was a similar moment earlier in the season where he made an insane dribble against 5-6 Benfica players and his unmarked team mates weren't anticipating his pass.

As much as I'd prefer Valencia to get the spot, Sociedad simply deserve it more after humiliating Valencia this season. Would be a shame for them to throw it away now
RS were a goal down after 11 minutes. They've just equalised - Rakitic has scored both goals
And gone one up. Agirretxe, on an awesome run of form this late in the season.
Barca are supposed to be getting their trophy tonight at the Nou Camp yet the number of supporters in the stadium is embarrassing. Clearly the fans are disguised as plastic seats.
Actually there's a weather advisory in Barcelona, many were encouraged to stay home
Apparently people had been warned to stay at home because of bad weather conditions (is what the Sky commentator said)
I don't actually have Sky TV, I have Canal+ in Paris, so the Sky commentators report is irrelevant in this case since I didn't hear it.
Manucho is on!
Manucho won a penalty!
The highest point of his career so far in Spain. He can go really far with Vallodolid.
Four La Liga titles in 5 seasons for Barcelona. Last year was simply a minor blip, just a little bit like when City won the Premier League. Normal service has resumed.
Oddly, given first place was decided about 8 months ago, La Liga still has two matches left and there's enough to play for that this week's matches are all at 8pm (7pm UK) tonight. The final games are all on Saturday 1st at 9pm (8pm UK)
Sunday 26th May 2013 (UK times)
Athletic Bilbao v Levante 19:00
Atl Madrid v Mallorca 19:00
Espanyol v Barcelona 19:00
Getafe v Rayo Vallecano 19:00
Malaga v Deportivo 19:00
Osasuna v Sevilla 19:00
Real Betis v Real Zaragoza 19:00
Real Sociedad v Real Madrid 19:00
Valencia v Granada 19:00
Valladolid v Celta de Vigo 19:00
So, Espanyol will be trying to stop Barcelona getting 100 Liga points. They're a bit annoyed with Barca right now as the Town Hall rented them this statue for a month.
Real Sociedad and Valencia are playing for the last CL place - level on points with Real on top on head to heads.
Mathematically, any of the bottom six can still get relegated or save themselves. Realistically Mallorca and Celta will probably get relegated tonight.
Meanwhile, a nod to the promoted. Elche are back in La Liga 1 after 25 years. The second automatic promotion spot will probably go to either Almeria or Villareal (go Mediterranean!) Incidentally Barcelona B and Real Madrid B (Castilla) are the top scorers in Liga 2, but only Xerez has a worst defensive record than those two.

Actually, the Columbus monument was rented to Nike, not the club, in order to promote the new kits until June 9.
Hector Moreno out for Asspanyol due to muscle discomfort which will make Aguirre's task all the more difficult. Will there be a Paseo or not is the big question for some. I'm more interested to see if Thiago starts let alone features in the match.
Sociedad have reason to get points against RM who are already looking at finishing 2nd in La liga, 13 pts behind the champs - already the largest margin in Liga history.

Got a couple of mates from Galicia praying to the Virgin Mary that Depor can pull off an escape
Last two matches - Malaga and Real Sociedad - prayer sounds like the right tactic.
Barcelona line-up (official):
Valdes
Alves Pique Mascherano Alba
Thiago Song Iniesta
Alexis Cesc Villa

Great finish from Alexis.
Wow, great goal Sanchez.
Lopez playing a blinder in goal for Madrid. He'll get dumped or benched next year wont he? Be a good signing for someone.
He'll be benched but probably not sold. He's been satisfied on the bench before and he's a Madrid homegrown so they'll definitely want to keep him.
If Adan doesn't go as well they'll have again 3 homegrown spots filled for the CL by goalkeepers. That's pretty much ideal.

How Valencia haven't scored yet is beyond me. Only a matter of time.
Fabregas isn't van Persie, that's for sure.
Great ball from Song Fabregas hits the post from about 10 yards out.
You sure? Sure enough for me to put £100 on them?
Looks like the kind of game where Valencia dominate and Granada counter-attack, which they're very good at. £10 maybe, I wouldn't bet any more than that personally.
Wish I could be bothered with streams tonight but on a poor laptop, looking at the stats Sociedad seem to be outplaying Real Madrid too.
Tito still looks really ill. I wonder if returning from his treatment so soon was the best idea for him.
Villa, what a miss. Even the keeper didn't believe it.
Even the keeper didn't believe it.The legendary Sergio Canales has just arrived onto the pitch.
