Dagger to the heart of Cornellà

inswinger · Feb 4, 2018

It was looking like this was the only way we were going to get a goal. Just send Piqué up as striker for the last 5 minutes

inswinger · Feb 4, 2018

What shitbirds. Gerard needs to go.

inswinger · Feb 4, 2018

Now let's go win it

ShortyMac · Feb 4, 2018

FT: 1-1.

I will take it.

Bootsy Collins · Feb 4, 2018

Phew.

Bada Bing · Feb 4, 2018

Great result tbh, many players got rest, awful conditions, Real Madrid ref and Asspanyol giving them all. Toughest away game probably done.

inswinger · Feb 4, 2018

This is what the derby always is. Yet we are still undefeated in the league, and Espanyol got our blood boiling, which is doing us a favor, psychologically speaking. No complacency til we lift the trophy.

Bootsy Collins · Feb 4, 2018

Now for a draw in Atletico-Valencia please.

Rattlehead · Feb 4, 2018

I'm cool with one point. The pitch and rain just made it impossible to run and control the ball properly.

Messi played less than a half of the game is also a good thing. Coutinho has yet to impress even though he almost scored.

Leon12 · Feb 4, 2018

Happy with that result, the conditions were truly atrocious, well done to both sets of players for putting on a very entertaining contest.

I was disappointed with Coutinho but have to allow for the conditions and the fact it will take him time to settle in.

Hm, I liked Coutinho in this match. I thought he was active and involved.

Leon12 · Feb 4, 2018

Messi looked sublime even playing on water

afar · Feb 4, 2018

Messi with the close control and dribbling in a swimming pool with the defender trying to take his shirt off and kicking him......just phenomenal.

God has given him an unparalleled gift.

Gilmango · Feb 4, 2018

quick highlights, not English, both goals and a half dozen near chances:
longer highlights 11 minutes vs. 2:46 and in English, Sky? not BeIn:

As much as those Espanyol asshole deserve it( especially given what they've said about his family), I've never been a fan of shushing as a celebration.

celito · Feb 4, 2018

Early Sunday games conflict with my pick up game and the DVR decided to not record it. Oh well. Will check the highlights.

When I saw Messi going all out vs Valencia I had a strong feeling he'd get rested today. It's a good thing. CL matchup coming up and a tie today doesn't hurt at all.

I saw that last week. Calling Shakira a whore and wishing death on his kid. I don't blame Pique.

Forzabarca · Feb 4, 2018

Did I say this was probably one of the most important games of the season?!

waitforit · Feb 4, 2018

Now Espanyol can give Real some free points and simply go into a hole until next year

I hope I see them relegated in my lifetime

Apparently one of their players, either Gerard Moreno or Sergio Garcia, called Umtiti a "pü†o negro," which set him off as you see in this clip. It seems Sam is saying "porqué esta frase?" - why this phrase?

So it's not just Espanyol fans. Let's wait and see how the LFP do absolutely nothing about this.

edit: Onda Cero tweet about it:

Cuenta @joseagustinww que @samumtiti estaba muy caliente en el túnel de vestuarios porque un jugador del @RCDEspanyol le ha llamado "negro"#Radioestadio

It seems like all those ex La Masia/Barca players who end up playing for them become extra scummy, I guess they try to fit with the rest of that shithole of a club. Victor Sanchez and Sergio Garcia would have never seen trophies if it wasn't for Barca.

edit: this was written before knowing that Garcia said a racist slur towards Umtiti.
