Athletic Bilbao vs. Real Madrid - La Liga|3-14-09 [R]

Lockjaw · Mar 12, 2009

Oh well, there is always La Liga.

Bilbao always does a good job of kicking the hell out of the RM players. And for once I am going to enjoy seeing it!

its gonna take a couple of weeks before the fans start supporting the team again.

5 consecutive wins will be a minimum.

Toro70 · Mar 12, 2009

Stupid GolTV will air the game only on Sunday at 8 PM in the US.
I need to find a reliable stream on Saturday.

I think we'll lose this one - morale is at a low at the club and we don't have enough 'ball grabbing' players...(Enters the firing range)

All of a sudden I'm not really excited much for a 3rd straight Liga anymore unless Barca ends up trophyless on the last day again.

WhiteBlood · Mar 12, 2009

Ugh, how Llorente destroys us..

Seems to me that dumb GolTV is on a path of self destruction...What are they showing instead. A dumb rerun of some idiotic Brazilian game...way to go idiots

if one of the clubs is corinthians then i could only have one guess why they'd prefer to show it.

Campeonato Paulista - Palmeiras vs Barueri

Toro70 · Mar 12, 2009

Actually, they will be showing the Bundesliga (Bochum vs Bayern Munich) at 5 pm.

I already sent my comments about their programming to info@goltv.tv

Give the vets a rest after that drubbing by Liverpool.

Ramos---Metz----Pepe----Torres-
-------Lass--------Gago---------
--Higuain--VDV/Sneijder----Marcelo-
-------------KJH----------------

This is going to be a tough tough game, especially since morale must be low. If we can pull this off, it'll go along way to keeping this title push on track.

I highly doubt this. Did you hear those 3000 travelling fans at anfield. WOW. Hearing them sing while the players were getting their asses kicked (and robben was looking for a place to hide) made me respect them so much. Thats the sort of football supporters i like.

Another tough game at san mames. Players are gonna get a hammering like they always do in that stadium but i think they'll bounce back and try to put things right. Raul and iker won't let anybody hang their heads. To be really honest i don't think some of our players care enough about real madrid and its reputation in europe for them to be affected by that humiliating loss too much. They just don't care that much so they'll be fine.

Toro70 · Mar 13, 2009

List of the players called up for the game:
Casillas, Dudek, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Heinze, Metzelder, Torres, Lass, Schneider, Marcelo, Parejo, Faubert, Van der Vaart, Raúl, Saviola, Robben, Huntelaar e Higuaín.

No Guti and Canna, both due to injuries. Metz will probably play alone with Pepe.

WhiteBlood · Mar 13, 2009

I hope Marcelo starts at LB, move Heinze into the center.

halamadrid00 · Mar 13, 2009

appaently Gago is dropped. According to Marca its a 'punishment'

He certainly isnt injured! Glad Juande is doing something about the horrid display in England, especially from Gago

As Toro says, Gago is suspended ...would you like to link to the Marca article you mention please as I suspect a Google mistranslation?

Lets hope juande has learnt his lesson. AS saying that metzelder will play. Robben should play as well since he only played (i use that term very losely) at anfield. Gago is suspended so we might see JG.

Dare we go with a lass and wesley midfield with both robben and marcelo down the wings. Its risky. Its san mames. Maybe some game time for parejo later on if we're leading.

No love for Faubert?
