i repeat a full strength barca team(alvez, abidal, puyol, pique, busquets, xavi, iniesta, messi, pedro, villa,) 8 times out of 10 will beat a full strength madrid team (abeloa, marcelo, alonso, pepe, ramos, khedira, ozil, de maria, benzema, ronaldo,)barring any injuries to both sides. hence i borrow your words, "na injuries na im make madrid still get mouth to talk"

usbcable:

dipp,

you just fall my hand.

we dey talk of 7th October match. nah mathces of yesteryears you wan begin talk about?

later on you guys will say RM fans talk of matches played long ago. if thats the case i shoudl also be talking about the 2-1 defet suffered last season.

and as per last 12 classicos,

we've won 3, drawn 4 and lost 5. which is more than 2 wins.

when we want to start talking of past matches as a whole then the above blabbing is justified but as per the last match:
i sayit again nah Benzema the cat cause am

but if you want to refer strictly to october 7, then i would urge you to remember what used to happen when abidal, puyol, pique, and even alvez used to be injury free and what could and would have happened if they were not injured. so when you're done visualizing how we would have lost if 'benzema had taken his chances' spare a though as well for what would have befallen you if abidal, puyol and pique were not injured. so i say again, on october 7, 2012, na injuries make una still get mouth to yarn.

and do not go telling me injuries are part of the game or why didnt we sign new players bacause i would tell you that those guys are still very much part of the squad and missing chances is part of the game as well. it would be very convenient, in fact a million times more convenient for me also to say that for the super cup you won in august, which valdez gifted to you guys after you were 3-1 down and left for dead, na valdez make madrid get mouth to talk.

Overall classico count, Madrid has won just one more than Barca; many of which came in the mediocre era when most footblall players worked in the mines, did several jobs and only play football for fun.

How old r u my brother?you talk like a child!Whats makes a great football team is not just having stars is your abillity to manage ur players and resources including injury crisis,why then do u guys say u r d best in d world?its the responsibility of the club to make sure they have options and not stranded,the market is open to buy players etc.if i want to follow ur arguement then u guys dont deserve any title or trophie cos any club u defeat always have one problem or the other either injury,suspension or another issue.I'm daring Barca fans in Nairaland to produce one person who has sense and can analyse football objectively with facts without throwing curses and tantrums to challenge me!

and lemme add,

the recent victories for barcelona during the modern era were due to "human/ referee controvercial decisions", when football players are trained to dive, fool and harass officals into making wrong undeserved decisons in their favor.

The Real Madrid Foundation opens the world's largest football academy in China
:


Starting this season Chinese fans can now enjoy the largest football complex in the world. Thanks to the collaboration between the Real Madrid Foundation, the Chinese Super League club Guangzhou Evergrande and Soxna, more than 3,000 boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18 will improve their football technique based on Real Madrid's training method and the sporting values that the Real Madrid Foundation champions. Florentino Pérez, the Real Madrid president, and the players Kaká, Pepe, Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo sent a congratulatory message on the occasion of this important inauguration. Located to the north of the city of Guangzhou, in the greater urban area of Qingyuan, it is expected to receive over 10,000 children in eight years.

The Real Madrid president stressed that it is an important step in Spain's relationship with China, where interest in football continues to grow. “I'm convinced that this collaboration will contribute to raising the level of football in China and will spread all the values that surround sport. We will fulfil a dream that began last year and in which we have been working for several months, creating the largest training academy in the world. I am grateful for your contribution to guaranteeing the project's success”.

The message from the Whites footballers aroused great interest and excitement among the thousands of fans that attended the inauguration. “Football is fun and teamwork. In the Evergrande-Real Madrid Foundation academy you will learn sporting values”. The event was also attended by top-level officials from the Chinese government who travelled directly from Beijing, considering this academy a prime example of a national project for the development of football in China.

The sports complex where the football academy is located is a school built by the Evergrande group where regulated teaching will be offered (primary and secondary school). It also includes 26 football fields that over the course of the year will be increased to 76

Speak bro!

Barcelona has the highest running cost in terms of players wages in the whole world and so much for their blabbing of you assembled your team expensively but we still pay them less salaries than they. I also believe people do not know the total cost of assembling a football team and just blab unnecessarily about the present cost without looking at the total cost.

MADRID Oct 14 (Reuters) - Brazil and Real Madrid full back Marcelo has fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot while on international duty, his club said in a statement on Sunday.
The Brazilian Football Federation said in a separate statement they estimated the player would be out of action for around three months.

Marcelo picked up the injury while training with Brazil in the Polish city of Wroclaw ahead of Tuesday's friendly against Japan.

He will return to Madrid immediately where a decision would be taken on the treatment required, Real said.

Losing Marcelo comes as a double blow to Real coach Jose Mourinho with his other left back Fabio Coentrao also returning to the Spanish capital after picking up a muscle injury while on duty with Portugal.

Coentrao had to be substituted in the first half of Friday's 1-0 World Cup qualifying defeat in Russia and has been ruled out of Tuesday's visit of Northern Ireland, Real said. (Reporting by Mark Elkington, editing by Alison Wildey)

Pity to hear that. He has really improved, less heady and undisciplined, and more purposeful in play.
National team football does that to a player.

next is the german champions.

Isn't this "past" the SAME history we refer to whenever we need to visit old records? What is wrong with you people??!
Going by your logic, the likes of Manure and Liverpool haven't been great in ages abi?
They aren't "GREAT" but they're the most successful football team in the planet!
Some people should be allowed to post on this forum, aswerigawd!

Jack - of -all trade Essien will be there for you guys. Or was it not the reason he was signed in the first place?
So much for versatility! Who 's deceiving who ?

dortmund played some nice football yesterday but I have no doubt that Real will beat them on home ground. Yes, I said it.

Johnpaul88: Jack - of -all trade Essien will be there for you guys. Or was it not the reason he was signed in the first place?

was he to blame for any of the goals conceded? imo he played his part.

FBS:

am not blaming essien.

its just unthinkable that you can loose three left full backs(marcelo/coentrao/arbeloa) all at once. reminds me of the when chelsea lost two goalie in a single match.

essien could not have been worse. hope fully coentrao should be back and fit by then.
