Everyone's been saying we are favorites and bla bla. I've had this feeling since the summer that we gonna fuck up our season so bad lol.

 

[Kolx]

La Liga have the worst referees in any league in the world.

 

[Syder]

Why aren't Sky showing this Real match?

 

[Kolx]

How we still didn't score a goal with all the chances we had is irritating.

 

[Empty]

damn wish that bale chance went in. fucking sick.

 

[KingSnake]

Betis has a great keeper.

 

[Auraela]

So was barca just on bad form cos Madrid looked so dominating at start season but now is different story

 

[whatsinaname]

Damn, Adan having a great game!

 

[Syder]

damn wish that bale chance went in. fucking sick.

That Adán save was fucking sick.

 

[KingSnake]

Lol, Cristiano with that dive. It's a miracle he didn't broke something.

 

[CMojicaAce]

Feels like Betis won't be able to hold forever.

 

[Kolx]

Betis has a great keeper.

If only their players were as good as they're at wasting time.

 

[KingSnake]

I wouldn't complain, Betis played pretty open, they even tried to attack quite often. There are worse teams than this.

 

[Zasa]

Joaquín the legend, going as hard as ever

 

[Syder]

It's nearly time

 

[CMojicaAce]

Watch Betis score an own goal after all this.

 

[Exterminieren]

Man City away.

Fucking bring it.

 

[Zasa]

Ohhh my god

Edit: goooooalllllll de Sanabria

 

[CMojicaAce]

Holy shit Betis scores!

 

[Empty]

LMAO LMAO LOOOOL

 

[KingSnake]

Loool. Beautiful action there by Betis. Must have been 10 passes or so in a row.

 

[NHale]

What a masterclass by the best manager in the universe.

Remember when Barça was going to be steamrolled this season in LaLiga?

 

[Sato Koiji]

League was always difficult for Real. Shame.

 

[tlop53]

aha madrid

 

[McMoneyman]

Feel our pain Real.

Spoiler

You'll still probably finish like 2nd in your league though

 

[CMojicaAce]

Betis of all teams breaks Real Madrid's 73-game scoring record.

Fair play to them though. I only watched the second half but they seemed to play well.

 

[nature boy]

#zidanefuera

lol

 

[tim.mbp]

Blessed Betis.

 

[Icolin]

ZIDANE OUT

DE BOER IN

 

[spidye]

1st time in 73 matches Real failed to score

damn

 

[KingSnake]

ZIDANE OUT

WENGER IN

FTFY.

 

[Kolx]

We really needed a win here. Here's hoping for one disastrous streak of games for Barca so we can come back.

 

[NHale]

Why the fuck would you play with 3 defenders but then allow Sergio Ramos to be an extra striker leaving you with 2 defenders while tied 0-0.

Seriously it's even stupid in a videogame let alone in a real football match. And they were lucky because if Betis attackers actually passed the ball they would have scored earlier. So exposed while tied 0-0? I don't get it.

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

Wow. Upset galore. Who would have thunk this?

Seriously. There were like 3-4 attacks in the last 10 minutes with Betis having at least 1 man more on the attack.

 

[Sato Koiji]

Bale was horrendous again. Fucking Bale.

 

[Zasa]

Last sides to win at Bernabeu 'to nil': Atleti, Barca, Atleti. Before that, Sporting Gijon in 2011 (ended Mourinho's 151-home-unbeaten run)

[mauaus]

Bale was horrendous again. Fucking Bale.

almost scored an epic goal though, but i agree Bale is so bad.

 

[BanjoLayleeYookaKazooie]

Wow, I'm the last person to mourn a Real Madrid loss usually, but that 0 there next to their name is kinda sad. 74 games, I don't think we'll see a run quite like that for a long, long time.

I like the score for all other reasons though

 

[nelchaar]

What the fuck is happening to us? Have the players lost their drive to win and play? Our offense is nonexistent. It's like after they beat Barcelona in the supercopa they went all like "yeah, we're done".

 

[Syder]

Say what you want about Bale but Ronaldo wasn't much better, a lot of wasteful shots

7 point gap after 5 games though

Real had quite a number of games like this also last year, but it was always a Bale, a Ronaldo (especially in the last part of the season), a Morata, a James or an Isco stepping up and scoring a goal from a personal action.

Plus the huge number of header goals from corners.

Adan had some amazing stops today too, i am amazed Betis made it through without conceeding

 

[BanjoLayleeYookaKazooie]

It's depressing stuff trying to read about Sampson's sacking I tell ya. Oliver Holt brings up a good point at how sheepish the women who abandoned Aluko and embraced Sampson must be feeling tonight. It only took half a dozen replies for the controversy to be dubbed "PC culture gone mad". Because apparently they're afraid a black person is going to replace Sampson and *that* is the issue here...

...

I really didn't think it was this bad nowadays. Maybe it is just Twitter but how horrible a noticeable amount of people are is staggering.

I think I'll have to stop reading about it, or at the very least Twitter. It's too sad.

Tune out anyone that cries 'PC culture'. What these people fail to realise is Sampson wasn't fired over the Aluko controversy.

He was fired for something that has yet to be explained but looks really fucking dodgy.

Maybe we aren't PC enough if a guy doesn't get fired for being racist but gets dropped the second there is a hint he diddles young girls.

The fa just said that he was clear to manage another women's team? Perhaps he was grooming someone/being inappropriate rather than actually "diddling" anyone

 

[Pachimari]

ZIZOU HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR CLUB!!!

He should walk off to Atletico, and bring back Mourinho, at least he gets us results!

Hala Madrid!

Grooming and actually touching someone is a very thin line. If he was doing either he should never work in football again.

Let's see what comes out.
