Moron-hu: Title is almost Barcelonas

The signs of a bigger loser:  Moron-hu begins raising the white flag, thereby implying his focus on the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

I guess I can't blame Moron-hu when you factor in Phil Ball's most recent commentary: "When you also consider that since the installation of the three-point system for a win in 1995, no side eight points adrift of the top side at this stage has ever managed to win the title, then it looks like the trophy is staying in Catalan territory"

Sergio Ramos waves goodbye to La Liga title after shock defeat to Gijon

The sign of a loser folks, Madrid's Sergio Ramos raises the white flag.

Sucker punch, suckers!!!

I am so happy I don't even know where to begin...

Hmmm, should I start by Moron-hu's misery or Barcelona's victory? This is Moron-hu, and I don't really feel like being sportsmanly today and have a laugh at his expense, Ha ha ha ha!

Let's start with the shock upset of the season, even bigger than Hercules defeat of Barcelona in week 2.  Truth be told a depleted Mardid lost to Sporting Gijon's dying moment sucker punch, but more importantly the loss ended Moron-hu's long-standing and flawless record at home (having not lost 150 home games since February 23, 2002, spanning a period of 9 years with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Madrid).  There was no comparison between the two sides with Madrid taking 13 shots-on-goal out of a total of 33 shots vs. Gijon's sole strike out of a total of 4 shots.  Hats off to Sporting GK's Juan Pablo for his heroic efforts!!!

Now, will this be a bad omen for Moron-hu? Will they lose their next home match when they host Barcelona? After all misery loves company!!!

Barcelona's win was a pleasant surprise and broke recent tradition where the team plays poorly after playing international and Champions League games spanning a few seasons now.  I predicted a hard earn draw, but was more than happy with an under-strength Barcelona victory and Madrid's humiliating loss.  It was also good to see Afellay, Keita, Thiago and Mascherano get more play time.

Next up?  FCB welcomes Shakhtar to the Camp Nou for the first leg of the Champions League clash!

Barcelona's expected line-up at the El Madrigal

OK, based on our current injuries and with an eye towards the Champions League game, here is my line up:

F:     Afellay (L), Villa (C), Bojan
M:    Iniesta, Keita, Mascherano
D:     Adriano (L), Pique, Busquets, Alves (R)
GK:  Valdez

Reserves: Messi, Thiago and Jeffren

El Madrigal is a difficult stadium with an even more difficult crowd (kudos to the Villarreal fans for their loyalty) as such I would like to see the team play a physical first half (Keita and Mascherano) and slow the tempo of the game but bring in the heat in the 2nd half with Messi and Jeffren, if needed.  I would like to see Messi saved for the CL game later in the week and not risk an injury especially after the last scare.  I've included Afellay after his strong showing in the Euro qualifiers (I hope he shines and stays with the team).

For Villearreal, Nilmar and Rossi will want to impress Barcelona and show what they're made of.

Prediction? Based on the above and the fact that we don't do good when we come back from international games, I think it will be a hard earned draw...

Enjoy the game!

Moron-hu confirms Ronaldo, Benzema and Marcelo will miss Tottenham's CL game

Ahhh, that "wascawwy wabbit" is up to his shenanigans again.

This time his target is Tottenham.  Somehow, Madrid's leading goal scorers are suddenly out of the big game against Tottenham (I included Marcelo because he's been scoring in place of Madrid's quiet forwards).  Watch them all make a "surprise" comeback before the game, in typical Sun Tzu style. That wascawwy wabbit!

Hat's off to you Moron-hu, hats off...

Adebayor thinks Villarreal can defeat Barcelona

I had to share this with you folks.

It seems that Mr. Adebayor is either a comedian or can predict the future. It is pathetic when the hopes of winning La Liga are hinged upon the actions of others and not on your own...

Inter Milan almost poached Messi from Barcelona

I saw this and wanted to share it with you:

In short, Messi did not leave FCB even though Inter Milan was going to pay him more $$$ because he was loyal to a team that literally invested in him, unlike Cesc...
