El Real Madrid se trepa al liderato

FutblogMexicano 22 November @ 11:57 AM EST

La jornada sabatina en la LFP nos deja como líder de la competición al Madrid, que con un solitario gol de Higuain al 22 derrotó a un débil Racing por 1 a 0.

Tras la victoria del Real, el Barza no pudo ganar en casa de un Athletic que marcha bien y solo logró sacar el empate a 1 , y con esto pierde la cabeza en la tabla de puntos que le arrebatan los de Pellegrini justo antes del Derbi Español.

Contracts anyone?

LadyArse - Arsenal and the world of football from a woman's perspective @ OleOl 22 November @ 09:25 AM EST
Thank goodness for the Sunday papers. So hellbent on printing shit they have focused more on Lionel 'I'm another Barcelona cunt' Messi's pleas to Cesc to join him at Barca and become the world's greatest midfielder than our defeat at Sunderland. Not only is this yet another insult to Cesc, it is another one to Arsenal and I for one can't wait to get them in the Champions League so the World's greatest midfielder can slam their lack of respect into the back of their net three or four times.

Real Madrid Is More Resilient Than I Thought

La Liga Report 22 November @ 06:19 AM EST

So, today I get up and see that Real Madrid won their match yesterday (without Ronaldo) and I see that Barca allowed Bilbao to draw them. With Barcelona giving up the two points that gave Real Madrid the seat atop the Spanish Premier Division Table. With Real Madrid holding fast without their biggest star I am NOT prepared to take back what I said about them, but I do have to give them credit where credit is due.

Henry didn’t become a fraud on Wednesday; the story goes way back…

Soccer Pie 21 November @ 03:47 AM EST

The thing that we all knew happened: Henry is a fraud. However, in the tradition of French smooth frauds he is someone who made it into an art; in his country the books about thieves are popular.

But the ‘hand' is not the only thing that makes Henry what he is; it is simply incredible how people in England or football fans in general forget all the things this man did.
