Messi 7.4? Hahahahahaha, sure, whatever.
Yeah completely agree. I was impressed.
And talks about a tired team? It's all fud people, sorry. Info had been coming out that Ozil for example was too exhausted to play against Barça...he started.
Unless a team is short on options and rotation wasn't dully applied during the season, then there's really not much to worry about. Mou handled that well enough me thinks.

Tello 6.2? More like 0.2
FIFA Ballon d'Or 2012 confirmed.
Was going to edit the post to say just that, but you beat me on the edit lol
:lol all I hear is yelling.
Naaaw, i'm a straight guy but Varane actually looks handsome.
He had that nice pass to Xavi and the run that dragged the defenders onto him where the play eventually lead to a goal. Other than that, though, yeah. He could've done a lot better.
Yeah that was his worst El Classico since... I don't even remember.
puyol 5.2?? bollocks. he got beat once the entire game right?
You're confident. Good luck but of you think travelling to Chelsea and Everton and winning those games, which you will need to do, is going to be easy then good on you.
We only have Stoke, Norwich (Home game) and away to West Brom. All very winnable and nothing like the shit fixtures you guys have.
Who did in 2010?
Discussion about Ballon D'Or is premature at best.
There's an European cup in the Summer, and the 1st half of next season. Any player right now has all the time they need to win it.
Robben. His 09/10 season was superb.
We all know you and Spurs have the easiest fixtures, but neither you nor Spurs are on the form that we are, so we can only be confident, while you worry you won't pull another Wigan and Spurs won't...well... lol

Seems like more than Ozil's eyes stick out amirite?
Its been mentioned already but Sneijder, Iniesta or Xavi probably should have won it that year.
I don't see you beating Man City.
I see us beating Man City.
They're not some invincible team. Others have beaten them too. Their away record isn't too good either.
Sneijder would have actually won it if it had been the old format. It's a shame they changed it, the old format was more interesting imo.

Not even Ronaldo? Yet he has the better numbers so far. The CL final will be the deciding factor, given the weird chance of a Chelsea-Bayern final, it'll be decided by the winner of la Liga.
And Sneijder should have been the 2010 Fifa Ballon d'Or.

Oh well, congrats Madrid fans. It wasn't a pretty game but your players got the job done. Our players look very tired and Messi is the only one on the team who can score and when he is marked by 3 or 4 players scoring becomes a titanic task. Am I the only one who thought Guardiola had given the league up when he didn't do any substitutions at the beginning of the second half?
hahahahaha nice
I can tell you now, if Man City get a good result at the derby and are only 2points off the title they will go to Newcastle and throw the kitchen sink at you. Better pray for a Utd victory to deflate them.
And I cannot see Newcastle going to the Bridge and beating Chelsea, I really cant. Travelling to Everton will be tough as well.
Nothing I said was wrong. Messi has 62 goals and Ronaldo has 54. If you want to talk about superior numbers then Messi is ahead.
And I've already that mentioned that someone else should have won the Ballon D'or in 2010.
Toddle on.
this is fn awesome lol
Title race could be over soon so yeah.
Wigan almost beat Chelsea if it wasn't for the unicef linesman so I'm sure we can give it a good go. I don't see what makes Chelsea so good (except for their immense luck in everything) that we can't beat them.
As for Everton... well they can't even beat a struggling, flailing Liverpool team so I'm not really too worried about that.
I do think we have to beat Wigan to keep the form going or this whole dicussion is pointless.

After a bit of reflection after calming down, my thoughts are:-
Ozil continues to be Madrid's most important player - he was amazing tonight, massive work-rate, phenomenal range of passing - the veritable definition of "team-player"
Ronaldo really stood up to be counted, great take for his goal, work-rate was good and was a constant outlet.
Ramos had a damn good game and finally din't get sent off.
Coentrao repaid Mourinho's faith in sticking with him - he actually had great defensive game, kept Alves pretty quiet. Still needs to sort out his hair tho...
Benzema looked pretty tired, but led the line ok, thought he should have passed when we had 4 v 2.
Arbeloa was his usual solid unsung self.
Di Maria needs to be sold to Liverpool (or some other team that buys numpties for silly money)
What a Grade-A cunt. I just don't get Anastacio saying that Di Maria is "fundamental" to Madrid, fuck that - he was injured, Kaka satrted to tick, we played great - he's come back and been a complete disruption; greedy,no right foot, terrible 'headless-chicken' excuse for defending, embarassing, shameful diving and the occasional wonder-goal to offset. Can't stand him, he's a fuck-nugget of the highest order - sure he does assist now and again, but Kaka or Callejon would have similar assists in his position.
Surprised that people are thinking that Madrid will be tired come Wednesday; I don't think y'all have any idea how energised the team will be getting that psychological monkey off their back.
i was worried if we got beat tonight then the Bayern game became so much harder - if I was Bayern I would be getting worried right now, the Madrid team that steps on to the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday will be DRENCHED in ADULATIOn, and will be unstoppable IMO, they have been majestic at home this season with the exception of Barca and Valencia.
Bring it, but I expect a Real demonstration of how good and clinical Madrid can be

Of course we can beat Chelsea at the Bridge. They're gonna be shattered and I wouldn't be surprised if they lost a bunch of players to injury. Look at their next games:
Tuesday - Barcelona
Sunday - QPR
Wednesday - Newcastle
Plus they played today, and they played mid-week just gone.
The run in for them is brutal and they will suffer for it. QPR is gonna battle like no tomorrow against Chelsea due to them wanting to stay up. Then they face a team with our capabilities not long after and it will be extremely difficult for them. They don't have great depth either as their subs bench usually includes wasters like Kalou or Malouda. Whereas we don't have to worry about stupid fixture lists with bunched matches.
Guess you are totally right, it'll just be 2010 all over again, even if Messi doesn't even travel to Munich.
Watching that goal brought me back to some United days
If its 2010 all over again then Messi won't win the award.
