Yeah... massive injuries is clearly a French-driven excuse. So is repeatedly asking that Benzema get benched if he's not fit. Criticizing Ronaldo and wanting Bale as the focal point has France written all over it.

Good lord Bill. Logic really doesn't come with age for some does it Laughing

Yeah sure failed logic! You obviously don't agree with any criticism towards your countrymen, especially the coach and as DoC explained our problems were well apparent before the injuries. As to your other countryman, how exactly did he get injured and wasn't fit when he came to training camp? It sure wasn't from excursion, likely from some strain of overeating!

I'll tell you what does come from age, that is insight into recognizing cons and BS!

El clasico schedule for 3:15pm(BST) kick off.

Won't be Broadcasted in the UK due to broadcasting laws....

La Liga president had 3 time slots but picked this one due to the Asian market.

Amazing laws, can't watch Classico because of something as arbitrary as 'kids already watch too much TV' or 'you need to go to the stadium!!'

by Myesyats Wed Oct 12, 2016 2:15 pm

I know Asian market brings a lot of monies but for *bleep* sake- the biggest European game shoulde be scheduled for the best time for Europeans and not Asians...

by Lucifer Wed Oct 12, 2016 2:20 pm

what are the laws anyway?

by Myesyats Wed Oct 12, 2016 2:23 pm

I thought you would get triggered over my post, Lucifer. Very Happy

This timing is perfect for you, amirite?

by Doc Wed Oct 12, 2016 2:24 pm

Well, at least Mole can actually say he didn't watch the match and not pretend anymore.

by Lucifer Wed Oct 12, 2016 2:26 pm

its perfect actually. I have suffered bad case of pimples for Barca by sleeping late.

No game can be televised in the UK between 14:45 and 17:15. It's a really dated regulation put in to protect stadium attendances at smaller clubs, on the premise that people would rather stay home watching a big match than go to their local clubs. Even though there's zero evidence to suggest the regulation has boosted attendances.

Annoying for most UK viewers who will have to watch the game on delay... or live stream it.

that's lame

Does being European give you bigger right to be a fan of European clubs?

by RealGunner Wed Oct 12, 2016 7:49 pm

Biggest problem is whether Arsenal(or any other club of big fanbase) will be playing at 3pm or not Sad

Not what I said. Not even close.

The game is being played in Spain and it should be scheduled for the most convenient time for Spaniards (and for the rest of Europeans at the same time for obv reasons).

Scheduling the game at 4pm makes no sense whatsoever but sadly money runs the game.

As if anyone who actually cares at all about a Football League fixture would actually skip their club's game for El Clasico. I just don't think so. The people who follow the lower levels of English football are far more loyal than the Premiership armies, lulz.

I don't see how a game that is in the afternoon on a weekend inconvenient for Europeans. Its only the British thats getting the short end of the stick because of a backdated rule.

And North Americans.

by Myesyats Wed Oct 12, 2016 8:49 pm

It's incovenient for me. I don't think you realize that people work on Saturdays and even Sundays?

I understand that they need to earn money and the best way is to get masses of plastic Chinese fans to watch the game but I just don't agree with that.

I think a game like this should be scheduled like Champions Leauge game.

by LuckAndWin Thu Oct 13, 2016 6:46 am

I guess Atleti will remain on top considering a sure win match against Granada. Barca, tho, I wish will revive themselves and win to Deportivo

by Jay29 Sat Oct 15, 2016 9:56 am

The early game in Spain today is Leganes vs Sevilla. Sevilla could go top with a win but haven't won away from home in over a year, while Leganes have won two of their last three. Should be an even game.

Sevilla team:

Rico; Mariano, Iborra, Pareja, Escudero; N'Zonzi; Vitolo, Nasri, Vazquez; Vietto, Ben Yedder
