Was looking at Real hth record vs Espanyol and what a joke it is, Espanyol basically roll over for them every season, some teams just do that vs Real wtf. I hope this is not simply cos of the rivalry with Barca? Anyone familiar with Espanyol know?

Last season they lost 0-6 both times! Ffs... LOL?

No Ronaldo and no Bale... so it will be a game.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Sep 17, 2016 2:29 pm

They are called Espanyol Castilla for a reason tbh, will be the usual romp.

Morata got this

Even without CR or Bale, Zidane has no excuse losing or drawing against espanyol lol

by sportsczy Sat Sep 17, 2016 2:38 pm

With a half fit Benzema... and Morata/Vasquez? We rely a lot on our front 3 to both create and score for themselves. The midfield does little to nothing in terms of the final 1/3.

I think it's going to be a tough one in terms of winning. We won't lose... but I think we will struggle creating chances and, thus, scoring even a goal imo.

Let's not get into technicalities.

Not surprised with Espanyol bending over for Madrid. Won't be surprised if there is some sort of gentleman's agreement behind closed doors.

And I have on multiple occasions felt that some teams roll over every time they meet Barça. But see, I didn't read too much into it because I knew that I was simply, and briefly, letting my emotions cloud my judgment.

Speaking of technicalities, where is Fraudbol to compliment Neymar for his Balon D'or-esque performances against such high level opposition?

Also, Gaitan getting his first start of the season. Hopefully Sporting don't "roll over" to superior opposition.

by Mr Nick09 Sat Sep 17, 2016 3:00 pm

Half fit Benzema should not be starting, if he starts and plays crap because he is not fit then Zidane is a moron.

wait he was half fit and still started in CL lmao

Vasquez-Morata-James is better than Espanyol and is plenty enough for us to win. Anything less is a disgrace

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat Sep 17, 2016 3:01 pm

There's more chance of me complimenting Real Madrid on a weekly basis than Fraudbol complimenting Nikemar imo hmm

There is only so little info that fans from afar can go judge by though. I guess theres if little way to know the truth... it just feel likes Atletico Madrid b4 Simone, something like over 10 years of 6 points every season to Real. For such a tight title race, its unfair to have teams like these. I guess there are teams that may give up vs Barca too, but I doubt to such a consistent level year in year out Very Happy
