Always laugh when he scores and Cronaldo is always the very last player to come over to him. Never looks enthused when he finally does so either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's political. Marca is a sports paper in Spain that is unofficially the official news source for Real Madrid. It has an enormous Madrid bias and a huge influence in dictating public opinion surrounding Real and, to a lesser extent, Atleti. They hate Florentino Perez, the current president of Real Madrid. Gareth Bale is the poster child of Perez' reign, he was his chief galactico, he's a symbol of the Perez regime. So Marca use every opportunity to attack Perez through Bale. The whole team will be gash, Ronaldo will have scored sod all, Zidane won't have a clue what he's doing but Marca will go and write some inflammatory piece about how Bale is shit and if Isco played instead, there'd be no problem. Obviously he's not helped by the fact he's a foreigner and Isco is the next big Castillan hero, their great hope for the future of Spanish football. When Bale plays, Isco is generally benched, especially as Zizou refuses to bin off Benzema. It's unfortunate for Bale, it's made his time in Madrid immensely difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shen Posted 25 January 2018 Share Posted 25 January 2018 Highlights of that Nantes game. The Auxerre goal certainly lived a charmed life! Also, kind of funny to see Ranieri speak French similar to how he speaks English, i.e. not very well. Talks about how they did in (year) 12017 and how they'll be doing in 12018. Always felt he was a man ahead of his time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 25 January 2018 Share Posted 25 January 2018 (edited) Just a bad day at the office for Nantes, despite utterly dominating the tie. I mean, look at all these wasted chances! Didn't know Auxerre had a half-American in goal in Quentin Westberg. Some of these saves were absolutely brilliant!

MC Prussian Posted 2 February 2018 Share Posted 2 February 2018 Lots of angry people at Real Sociedad these days - Iñigo Martinez, who once claimed he'd never switch sides with local rivals Athletic Bilbao, has just done that.

Alf Bentley Posted 18 February 2018 Share Posted 18 February 2018 I imagine anyone aged over about 25 will remember the Turkish striker Hakan Sukur. Looks like things have gone a bit pear-shaped for him recently: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/feb/18/hakan-sukur-turkey-fallen-hero-exile "There is a photograph, famous in Turkey, taken at the wedding of one of the nation’s greatest footballers, a Uefa Cup winner who played in a World Cup semi-final. In the picture, Hakan Sukur is next to two witnesses, the nation’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and the cleric Fethullah Gulen. A wedding is supposed to be one of the highlights in a man’s life but it did not work out like that for Sukur. The woman he married that day is dead, Sukur’s father has been imprisoned and the player capped 112 times by Turkey finds himself in exile. Should he ever return to his native land he would face charges of insulting the president and rebelling against the government. Life imprisonment would be certain and he could even face the death penalty. He will never see his father again, all the adulation he once had is lost. Sukur has lost his country".

Yeah basically that, the German FA claimed the Monday games were to help out their teams competing in Europe but the fans' opinion was that they want to move to an English TV model. Apparently the commentators blamed the shite atmosphere on the cold weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the sort of mentality that English fans don’t have. They don’t agree with something so they actually make a stand and do something about it. Fair play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
