Real Madrid Thread

Probably the best debut ive seen. Bloody hilarious!
What got on my nerves though was the way sky commentators were suckin Beckham off every 5 mins.
 
woody is in pole position for the worst signing ever made ever full stop. he's the only thing newcastle have to laugh at these days.

in all honesty though, woody's a class act and it wouldn't surprise me to see him at the world cup come summer time. that is of course if he gets another game...
 
Apparently to crowd clapped him off so at least the fans still like him.

It's funny how the Spanish love the English players. Macca was reinstated to the team because of the crowd once and Owen so a darling even though he was only a sub.
 
Yeah he got a standing ovation! I thought he pretty unlucky to be sent off, Beckham was excellent, and Raul looked to be back...
 
Being his first game back, he was obviously off the pace, and eager to please. Too eager! Agree with Fenian. Give him time.

Nickybaker - is it the blood and thunder, hardworking attitude? Thought Macca left that at Anfield......
 
Bah, RM are a disaster. no one really knows if the team will play out of this world, or impersonate the disaster itself.
If they had consistency, with they players they have, they would take all the titles.
Anyway they get half way the season and get all tired.

woodie :lol:

when Real went down 1-0 it was like the end of the world, athletic balbo got no credit when they took the lead, it was like the commentators sounded upset, it was like they desperatly wanted real to win. I agree beckham did get sucked, though he did work hard and influence the team, if it wernt for his corners real wouldnt have got back into it. Guti proved vital as gravenson was shit first half. It was funny how athletico got frustrated and started going on a fouling rampage, i thought all their players were gonna end up with yellow cards.

Good game anyway but in long run i can see real struggling again this season with or without woodgate, their defense gives opposition too much space to play and if it was better team last night, real would have been finished off by half time.
 
How you can say Athletico Bilbao arnt a good side have you seen there record over Madrid for the last 4 seasons Madird have one once...

Please tell/ouote me where i said that athletico bilbao 'arnt a good side'? You love twisting my words to put up some stupid argument. I know they beat real madrid twice last season, but it dont make them some great team that are better than the rest in la liga just coz they beat Real twice last season.
lol I aint got time for you jamie mack you just read you statistics off the net and come on here and act like you know the game.lol
 
Well your the one that said if they were a "better" side they would have finshed them off by half time!

Stats off the net! :roll: They said those stats in the match that you were watching, As for the i love twisting your words seriously get over yourself....

LOL your either twisting my words or you really cant read sentences lol. I actually said if real madrid came up against a better team (you would agree that there are better teams in la liga than athletico bilbo?) then they would have been finished off by half time. I didnt say that if athletico were better or arnt good. Do you understand now jamie mack?lol I will break it down especially for you in future so you dont misunderstand what i have to say ;)
 
Totally agree,there are better sides than Bilbao in La Liga but when comparing those teams records to Bilbao's records and performance's against Madrid i disagree that a "better team" would have finished them off...

talk about contadiction!
 
*Sigh* I will repeat this for the last time and clearly so it gets into your head! I didnt say 'IF ATHLETICO WERE BETTER' which is what u said I said. My exact words were ''IF IT WAS BETTER TEAM'' So how is that contridiction? There is a difference. I wasnt saying althletic 'arnt good' or 'if athletico were better' I said 'if it was better team'(read over twice please so you understand and realise how stupid this argument is that you started).lol
 
Beckham had a gr8 game last night , why cant he play on the right and put constant balls in like that all night u dont need to b 6' + when he crosses the ball that well.
 
Beckham is doing great this season: he and Raúl are back leading the team. Real started weakly but now they are developing the best football in Spain. They are the best scorers and with Guti back in the team they are playing really well.

Woody is a great defender, and Luxemburgo has plenty of confidence on him: he's bound to play a lot of games. Last night he did very well. Real Madrid players woke up after Lyon's dissaster, and currently I see them as favourites to win La Liga. It is curious to see how Barcelona are doing worse and worse as Real go up and up again. This is going to be an amazing season here in Spain.
 
Real Madrid has overtaken Manchester United as the world's biggest earning football club, according to the Spanish side's latest financial results.

For the 12 months to 30 June, the Bernabeu team enjoyed an income of 275.7m euros (£190m; $334m), a 17% increase on the previous year.

Man Utd's most recent full-year figures - for the 12 months to 31 July 2004 - showed a 2.3% earnings drop to £169m.

Real Madrid ends Man Utd's eight-year reign as the highest earner.

Merchandise focus

The Spanish club now makes 42% of its income from commercial revenues.

This include merchandise sales and sponsorship from the likes of Siemens, Adidas and Pepsi.

Analysts say Real Madrid has deliberately benefited from its policy of signing big name or "galactico" players such as David Beckham as these greatly boost the sale of replica shirts and other merchandise products.

Real Madrid gets a further 26% of its income from match day sales (mainly ticket revenues), 24% from TV coverage and 8% from promotional activities, such as pre-season tours to the Far East.

Commercial income accounted for 27% of Man Utd's revenues during its last reported full financial year, compared with 36% from match days, and 37% from TV.

While Manchester United has cautioned that its next reported full-year results will be hit by a decline in media revenues, Real Madrid's overall income is expected to jump still further to £204m next time around.

At least becks brings money.
 
The spanish league this year is going to be alot more exciting than the premiership thats for sure!!

Just so god damn pissed off that im at university and miss the games cos i havent got sky!!!
 
Saw extended highlights of the their last few games. Becks is on a tear. he's played some amazing passes thru the belly of the defenses he's come up against.

I still don't think there's a bette crosser of the ball in the world than him.

Sven should take note and keep him out right.
 
Yeah he has been MOM in his last 3 games without a doubt imo, He looks the sharpest ive seen him in years, Im expecting a big performance form him for England! Im still not sure about Baptista apart form being big he hasnt done anything that would merit his price tag...
 
Well i think Baptista is a quality player and i think hes done well hes linking up superbly with the brazilian contingent dominating games but beckham has been instrumental recently and ronaldo is doing a lot more work, madrid could regain the league. im a big fan of robinho magic.

Real Madrid won't sign defenders. It is seen as a sign of weakness according to their chairman or someone.

i agree
 
Well, so Cassano is now at Madrid.

Anyone can tell me about this player? I just know him from his WE/PES skills :)
 
He was great when he played for Bari, then he went to Roma for a large fee . He is a great talent , he just has a few personal problems that he needs to sort out like his attitude. He never got a game when Cappello was in charge I think mainly down to his attitude. I will say this tho he is agreat finisher and got goot technique, just need to waint and see if he can put the playboy life to one side and ply football.
 
Actually, with Capello he was one of the biggest strikers in Italy, so he got the call up for Euro 2004. WHen Capello left, he kept moaning about how he missed Capello and how he wanted to join him, because Capello is his 'mentor'. He started fighting with the new coaches - Del Neri and Spalletti, aswell as the club itself.

His move to Real should be good as he can finally start playing again. Hes very quick, good dribbling, good shooting, smart passes.

Although Roma were robbed, 7million is a joke since they bought him for 20 million in 2000.
