HBD Penaldo! Hopefully you'll get a nice birthday present at the Calderon

Sweet victory tonight! It's just so amazing how the tides can turn around, defeating Atleti 3 times in a row is just superb. Kudos to the team and to the coach. Barca made my night.

Viva Barca!!!

Hopefully we get to qualify tonight!

Mehn....

I just had to forgo commenting and watch the match from start to finish. Our performance was outta this world

I actually climax'd when Messi gave that pass for Ney's 2nd goal

Neymar has got no shawty with him? Incredible

dmcdad:
I love this club...

Same here bro.... It's indeed "more than a club"

Midehi:

Must we trip for them?

Some people think I'm a flirt....dunno why. If only they knew I'm still a V guy.

rozayx5:
nice joke

I had to laugh

Krasid:
Messi has missed three penalties this season for club and country.

Atletico Madrid didn't do the city of madrid proud again?

Thank God say we win oh, madrid should come n learn how to beat atletico from us

sebod:
As long as our front three get going, we don't have any problem beating them. So painful I am gonna miss the match.

Hopefully they'll score tons of goals...hehe. But I think it's going to be a narrow win for us.

Hoping for a win tonight...

Impressive win tonight!

Ahhhhhh

That finish..MAGIC

Messi-esque Magic

OP, you did absolutely nothing wrong. If I were u, I wouldn't even come to NL to ask for people's opinion because I know what I stand for. I would have done the same thing you did too, it's not as if one is claiming "holier than thou" as NLs would say, but different people have their various principles. Guy code or no guy code, if I don't see it to be reasonable, I won't join the majority of guys to do anything in the name of "guy code". If something like this can cause a big rift between u guys, then you shouldn't probably be friends in the first place bcuz your principles differ. He should go and roll with guys that can leave their apartment for him to bring girls to and have fun. You did nothing wrong bro

PS: This doesn't in any way mean I am claiming "holier than thou", I can bang girls as I like and even become a womanizer if I want. But I don't have to disturb or inconvenience others with it. Whether "guy code or no guy code", there are things that a person can not just do, take it or leave it.

YEAAH

MESSI MIGHT BE A BETTER PLAYER BUT RONALDO IS BETTER LOOKING AND HAS SWAG

You judge people by looks and swag?

Resounding victory tonight! Great game by all the players, nice selection by Lucho!!

Right from when atletico were gifted a penalty goal, I always knew Barca were going to score again and Messi did it

To the madridistas who hoped to have a party on our thread tonight, make una no vex! MSN is to blame

Chimezie198:
whatz d time of our match

9:00pm

dmcdad:
You are right I must say... But yet, let's give him sometime and see how it goes with him. Some more gametime wouldn't hurt. Would it?

Hopefully not

Austeenx:
are you for real?

I was about asking the same question.

dmcdad:
Is that how you judge players? In the 6 matches we played against Athletico last season, what did Messi do to help the team? I guess with your logic then, one would have said he is already finished! Right?

Ya, you could say that. I'm not asking him to be extraordinary, but at least he has to get the basics right. Simple things like passing the ball accurately shouldn't be an uphill task for him. That's the mistake I saw he made a couple of times against sociedad, if a player has deteriorated or lost form, at least he should be able to get the basics right. And I believe that's something u can perfect in training...

dmcdad:
But at he needs gametime to make up for loss-time. Same was said too about Bartra, but he proved all doubters wrong against Les Parisien. That is how it goes... Little by little. In Montoya's case, he needs to play more to regain his form. I could remember how he marked Ronaldo out in two Clasicos in the past.
Besides, without giving him the chance to play, how would you really make a sincere and just assessment of his performances?

He played in our last match na, so I'm judging based on what I saw.

dmcdad:
Bro na match be koko ooooo. Abi you dey play Madrid for training? You dey play Bayern and the likes for training?

Hmm....I just feel the guy could cost us a lot if he plays in big matches like the ones you've mentioned.

homesteady:
that was the 2nd game he was starting this season and like 3rd or 4th game(barely 20mins) he was playing!
Give this boy play time, Lucho no gree, now that transfer window is open, he wants to start doing eye service!

I hope the guy improves oh, his passes are not even accurate to say the least. It seems like he plays with fear... I thought these are things they work on during training sessions.

usbcable:
The Guy is CANALES. Remindsme of the go down low Angel did for Puyol

Mehn the guy bad oh, the way Montoya went down, I almost thought he had sustained an injury Now you're picking on Puyol, what of the ones Messi does to Ramos and co.?
