Real Madrid vs Getafe

Madrid play host to Getafe in what appears to be an ungodly hour for a football match. The Whites will be going for their fourth straight home win, but they will have to do it without their captain Iker Casillas who is out with a broken hand. Madrid will have available new singing Diego Lopez who came over from Sevilla earlier this week. The squad will also be bolstered by the return of Marcelo and Sergio Ramos, who will both significantly boost the back four. Here’s to Madrid notching another three points in this early bird match! Hala Madrid!

Squad List:
Adán, Jesús y Diego López.
Varane, Ramos, Coentrão, Carvalho, Marcelo, Arbeloa y Albiol.
Khedira, Özil, Alonso, Essien, Modric, Callejón y Di María.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema e Higuaín.

It is at a good time for me at least.

At last, I will be able to get some sleep and still watch the match…Hala Madrid !

Oh man I dunno if I can wake up for this one. Also you should have a liveblog for the Castilla-Barca B game 3 hours after the end of the Getafe game .

Yeah it’s weird watching a match whilst eating breakfast slighly hungover
Xabi and Khedira rested, great to see Sergio back back line looks to be Albiol, Carvalho, Ramos and Coentrao (not sure how all that red card business pans out)

  I read it somewhere and its very weird. Since he got the suspension in Copa, he has to serve the last match of the suspension in the Copa itself. So he won’t be there on Wednesday.

Real Madrid made some good signings. Here’s who I think the best Summer signing of 2012 is: http://latestfooty.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/best-signing-of-summer-2012.html

We can still win la liga if this kind of performace continue. Barca were peaking too early hopefully

Castilla v Barca B stream http://www.hqfooty.tv/schedule.php watching now…

morataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! powerful header, unstoppable.
SaraMadridista

So the game it end with 10 players, penalty for invisible handball, no this is not a normal clasico, it is mini clasico, where araujo dived his way into sending alex off, they thought them well in their academy, Morata goal is awesome though, a flying header

Hard luck Castilla!!!

as for first team game! Sami is amazing and Cristano is a beast
- loki
  
  Hahaha you must be joking. That handball was clear. If you don’t believe me, I can find you a replay later. And that red card for Alex was deserved. Didn’t you see him punch Barca player in the face? Madrid and Madrid Castilla are no different. They always turn football into boxing.
  - senjojo
    
    well if i rem well, the last time these two played it is a barca b player that got a red card. well with low life fans like yours throwing at teenagers objects on the pitch, you definitely expect this to be a heated affair.araujo was hit but he made a meal out of it ala fabregas. i agree with you! like seniors like juniors.
    
    no wonder barca b r not glossing about the victory, they know that when it was 11 against 11, they had no chance:)
    - Richzorz
      
      Not sure any player for any team can do what the Castilla player did and expect not to get sent off to be fair…I thought the mini clasico had finished 1-1 for some reason until I read a match-report (on a RM site of all places) where it didn’t seem so much like Castilla had been “robbed” or anything!
      - senjojo
        
        i cant really rant about their being robbed. just amazed at how araujo’s theatrics. it probably could have been a yellow.there was fighting from both sides, it is possible these two had been exchanging some heat from the start of the game, n also araujo kicked alex.
        
        we lost but my consolation remains in the fact that la masia needed to be a man up to get into the game.
      - nomz
        
        The last sentence was a KO. Take 5 rich and we will see u tomorrow :p
      - Richzorz
        
        lol, we’ll see each other on Wednesday for the REAL (no pun intended) clasico! :p
      - Makoluchi
        
        Of course its a REAL Clasico…. and its gonna be as REAL as it gets
      - SaraMadridista
        
        That’s the thing, both of them deserved the red, but one of the two just rolled on the pitch, the other stood tall and didn’t fall after being kicked….
        
        Anyway, as you said it took them a sent off, an imaginary penalty to win with the goals from the same guy who sent Alex off!
      - Sagosoosmar
        
        I’m not that bothered with Araujo’s theatrics, its common these days unfortunately. What I was mad about was how he got away with kicking Alex (which was why Alex had that reaction afterwards)
    - didharsthings
      
      Its the only way a barca b or BARCA can get back into a game..almost every other match some one gets sent off against Barca…Its all part of their plan
      - loki
        
        Have you watched the game? I mean the entire game, not just the highlights. Barca B were dominating Castilla from the very first minute until the end. The only goal-scoring opportunity for Castilla in the entire game was that header, and they took it. Other than that, match statistics speak everything.
      - senjojo
        
        from the first minute??? r u sure? they grew into the game. Masip too made saves in the first half, unless they were from potential own goals.
        if you r talking about possesion stats i agree with you barca b did. just like they did,in the first leg, when we walloped them.
        
        i find it funny that deulofeu, the next messi, has not shown up in both fixtures.
      - loki
        
        Yes, I’m sure that Barca B hadn’t been inferior to Castilla right from the beginning. Their domination had become more obvious in the 2nd half. In the whole match, I could hardly find Castilla made any promising counter-attacks. In fact, I couldn’t find any dangerous shooting attempt from them in the whole game. Let’s put possession aside, Barca B created more chance and their victory was very much deserved.

      Lets not deal with Loki right now, his brain is a bag full of cats, you can smell crazy on him
  - Sagosoosmar
    
    Alex should have been sent off but what about Araujo kicking Alex before that? Thats not a red card?
    - Rex Rodriguez
      
      the ref did’t see it of course, and every football fanatic knows that if you lift your hands, it’s a red card. So please
      - Sagosoosmar
        
        If you read my comment again you see that I said “Alex should have been sent off”
  - Hinotame
    
    How do they turn football into boxing? Is it something that can be done while a game is being played? Or do the officials determine to let us do it at half time before full time?
Makoluchi

I thot our game was after the Barca game, am jst hme frm taking de family to Planet Yogurt and Cake Heaven (boy do I love those names)…. If wishes were horses, I would come up with Candy Galaxy in de same mall jst next to de two, lolz!

Cristina’s mother wish she had Messi as a son instead
- senjojo
  
  judging by your comment,you strike me as a person who would refer to your mother as a maid because she doesn’t earn as much as all your friends’ mothers. the kind of people who lie abt someone else being their mother because they r rich.
  - Guest
    
    Lol, you must have offended half of the people in this blog. Tell him guys how its fine to have a mother maid x)
    - senjojo
      
      having mother who is a maid isnt bad, just like having a son like ronaldo in messi’s era isnt:) don’t put me out of context!
  - Miraj
    
    @senjojo:disqus If that is your analysis then I feel sorry for you. You have some serious issues you need to deal with first, its your subconscious talking there. I would try to get a therapy session for both you and the other family member you seem to have problems with.
    
    Also, my friend’s mother is a maid. He is from Indonesia. What is wrong with that? A person needs to feed his family, no shame
    - creep
      
      Read carefully before making angry replies. Senjojo is talking about sons that call their mothers maids cause she cleans after them, not talking down to maids in any shape or form
    - ensense
      
      Looks like you have learned to read, but comprehension is something you need to work on, a little less time being a barca fan boy and more time in English class should solve it.

Ozil was RIDICULOUS today.. Completely unplayable.. If he improves his finishing he’s a future multiple ballon d’or winner.

I was having a pretty good day and was just about to head out until I decided for some reason to check out the comments in this blog.*sigh*.I mean I could honestly kick someone one my way if I go out now.

Now how about a match preview for a change?

Real Madrid really deserved that match, they played so well and made so many goals as they can… Well done and hope they I hope they keep it up all season…

there were days when rmfb would be pact with posts nite n day. I guess those were days and it is what it is. I know many like me come around to check what’s new, articles or posts and walk away when there is nothing is new. Oh well. There were days.

    Amen…I think Adan my namesake will do us proud..:). Hope the team spirit rises to the occasion. If we come to play i am not gonna be worried. Our A game is better than their A game.

  you can write a poem. i am sure Kaushik or Bassam wont hesitate to post it. they have explained that they are busy. i think more people should get involved in the writing and see how hard it is

    The contents of the articles don’t matter now. This place just needs somebody free enough to set up a new topic corresponding to the latest event for people to discuss in a timely fashion.

There will be a preview up by tonight. We’re busy, but we’re trying, we know lack or articles is not a good thing, but tone in messages like – how about a preview for a change – doesn’t really help.

labomba

Sara Carbonero ‘ right now the players don’t get on with their manager and there are divisions in the dressing room, we’ll have to see if Mourinho stays as he’s opened many fronts at RM’
Thank you Sara just what we need right before an important run of games.
I don’t know if you guys are aware of the #graciassara on twitter, but if you are, this, in my view is the ‘blondest’ thing she’s ever done!
- nomz
  
  yes, saw that. and like you said, what great timing to feed the trolls, marca and co that is.. she’s always been like this, i remember the ronaldo rift. seems clearer that iker is losing his control, or why would she go on and say so, and who the hell told her this or or or…. very sad when one gets stabbed from within.
  on other news bro, am here and if you do come around, would be great to meet up.
  
  #graciassara
  - real2
    
    Of course, Casillas told her this and that. For a captain, such conduct is simply unpardonable.
  - http://www.facebook.com/mohanad.aljibreen Ned Jibreen
    
    Its because Iker knows since he’s injured it doesn’t matter, he won’t play anyway. So what’s the best way to create a stir and make Mourinho look bad? Send more Drama towards the clubs way before the most important matches of the season. We end up losing against Barca and ManU… Then for the next 3 months fans/media will cry.. Fire Mourinho and bring back Iker. Mourinho gets fired before the season ends after losing all titles, Iker is back in running the club the way he wants.
    - inglourious_basterd
      
      nailed it
    - loki
      
      That’s quite disrespectful – assuming Iker to have come up with such a deliberate plan. Unlike Mourinho, Iker will never try to do anything for personal gain at the expense of the club’s loss.
- SaraMadridista
  
  Isn’t she a journalist though, she is speaking like most of journalist in Spain. no?
  
  Sara is a journalist, not Iker’s girlfriend, so I think people should take this into consideration
  - http://www.facebook.com/mohanad.aljibreen Ned Jibreen
    
    Not iker’s girlfriend?
    - senjojo
      
      wait till you r in a relationship and people ask her the same question.
    - SaraMadridista
      
      Hey, my point is simple, she is Spanish journalist like the rest of them, journalists who tell stuff to sell or whatever, have nothing to do with iker’s life!
      
      Yeah last time I checked personal life should be separated from professional life.
      I seen interview, she was merely giving recap of what happen including marca cover, she wasn’t endorsing it, or like she being saying stuff that marca didn’t already cover.
      Stop blown everything out proportion.
      
      Sara doesn’t tell iker where the ball goes when he is standing in the net, iker doesn’t tell what she should and shouldn’t write.
      
      She is a women with profession, fact she is getting more stick just because she is Iker’s girlfriend while she didn’t say anything new is silly
      - http://www.facebook.com/mohanad.aljibreen Ned Jibreen
        
        Say that to the girl who was smooching on live television while doing her “said” job.
      - SaraMadridista
        
        lol seriously? that was living in moment, Iker totally surprised her in the moment, she even was embarrassed
  - senjojo
    
    well, she is both. However,to the world, she became known more as Iker’s girlfriend than as a sports Journalist. so there is a conflict of interest. i am sure she knew it would be there.
    
    she and Iker must have seen this coming! i dont care, how they solve this nosense, i just hope Iker at one time doesnt end up having to chose his girlfriend over real madrid.
  - http://twitter.com/iFinchlean nomis
    
    I don’t see a team of players stabbing each other in the back. We are playing well at the moment.
    
    Still not sure where the split is? Spaniards vs the rest. Portuguese vs the rest? CR7, Concencao, Benz, Iker, Ramos, Ozil, Marcelo, Khedira, have all had issues with Mou.
    
    Maybe the dressing room is not split, maybe theyre all against Mou, lol
    
    Whatever my view of Mou. Timing of this was terrible. Just not needed.
    - ensense
      
      One good thing about all this is the problematic part of the Spanish contingent has been neutralized through injuries or suspensions, MOU need not have to worry about benching them and having to face repercussions. If we loose he can always blame injuries and suspensions, but if we wen we will know that MOU was right all along.
      - http://twitter.com/iFinchlean nomis
        
        But I dont think its just the Spanish contingent that have fallen out with Mou. But what they do have is the ear of the president, which is wrong, the president should never go out to dinner with the players without the manager. But thats the way its always been in Spain.
        
        Its been a long time coming. I think the spaniards never liked the them vs us mentality Mou brought.
      - Jumala
        
        Won’t be surprised if the Spanish contingent in RM are closet Barca fans.
    - SaraMadridista
      
      I don’t think it matters again, as I said she is simply being a journalist like the thousands journalists in the world and spain who been saying the same BS
      - Sagosoosmar
        
        She is not just a journalist. She is a journalist who happens to be Real Madrid Captain’s partner. If any other reporter made those statements it wouldn’t have been nowhere near as damaging.
        
        Now I don’t know whether Iker knew Sara was going to say these things, I can easily assume that she has chosen her career over Iker’s because this could really hurt Iker’s position in the club
      - nomz
        
        i agree
      - loki
        
        I have yet a conspiracy theory in support of Madrid. It goes as follows: Iker’s relationship with his girlfriend hasn’t been as healthy as it used to be, so the bitch decided to mar his reputation by seasoning or even fabricating the story to the media. While the underlying truth behind all this uproar is possibly nothing but a misunderstanding and an overly exaggeration by Marca, personal relationship that doesn’t go well can also be the genuine reason that can explain this exacerbating remarks made by this bitch. How’s that sound?
      - Richzorz
        
        Sounds like you ‘bitched’ a little yourself by calling Sara a bitch a couple of times…
      - SaraMadridista
        
        ignore him, no one is worth our time calling a women the b word just because she is doing her job
      - SaraMadridista
        
        There is no permission or ruining career, dude all sara said in her video is what been said in marca as the week recap, that’s it!
        Sorry but I guess people in Real Madrid are more mature to think that Iker will control or oversees what his gf does in her job
  - ensense
    
    Now you know who the mole in the dressing room is.
  - Rich10messi
    
    Yeah Sara is only doing her job, even though her words might ruin her bf’s career and disrupt an already divided squad
    - SaraMadridista
      
      Sure! A word of one journalist will disturb the 23 grown ass men with their coach! I don’t see the “divided” squad that everyone would like to believe is there, especially that after the great performances that RM have been given since 2013, key players such angel, ozil and cristano are returning to form or being better than they were, return for some key injuries such as pipa and marcelo
      
      so please, this divided squad is media made stories of what you make you want to believe that is there because fans don’t want to look @ real reasons, problems in dressing room happen in every single club in the world, but it shouldn’t aired to the public, it is none of business if iker and cristano are not best friends, in regarding Morunho hating players, sure because if coach bench you for a game or two it means “he hates you”, not that he wants the best of you, now players might not like how Mourinho talks with them, but if they hate him so much and wants him to leave, it will easier if they don’t show him their support in public and JUST KEEP QUIET.
      
      Excuse me if I simply look @ what happened in Real as merely footballing reasons what media want me to believe, what sara said doesn’t prove anything other than she is just echoing what Spanish media is saying
- daryl
  
  i guess Casillas can warm the bench for the rest of the season
- http://www.facebook.com/mohanad.aljibreen Ned Jibreen
  
  I think that’s enough proof on who is destabilizing the dressing room. You don’t see Mourinho’s wife coming out talking about issues with the club.
  
  I’m confident now , our club will do better without Iker.
5ten

“I’m confident now, our club will do better without Iker.” Really? I hope on Wednesday, we Barca can show you how important Iker is and will continue to be to your team. This is your first classico in a long time in which Iker isn’t going to start, so lets see how he will be missed.
- http://www.facebook.com/mohanad.aljibreen Ned Jibreen
  
  Don’t take my words out of context. I’ll save my breath in replying to idiots like you.
  
  We’ll talk on the field tomorrow.
  - 5ten
    
    How was that line taken out of context? Its plain as day what you meant.
    
    Find it amazing how easily certain fans can turn on a club captain based on only he said she said.
    - http://www.facebook.com/mohanad.aljibreen Ned Jibreen
      
      Don’t have to explain to you. Your opinion is yours, instead of taking my quote and making a new post. There is something called a reply button; learn some internet discussion etiquette.
      
      From now on you’ll be ignored. So don’t bother quoting me or asking me questions.
      - 5ten
        
        Didn’t want to reply off-topic to what you guys were talking about. But its been well-stated that you wouldn’t mind seeing the back of Iker.
      - http://twitter.com/iFinchlean nomis
        
        Some commentators will leave with Mou
  - http://real.theoffside.com/ Bassam
    
    When will you learn to be a decent person and reply without insulting people? Makes me wonder how you function in real life.
    - http://www.facebook.com/mohanad.aljibreen Ned Jibreen
      
      My real life is none of your concern. People who want to take my words out of context are not going to have any respect from me.
- loki
  
  Who said that?
- Richzorz
  
  I dunno, Diego Lopez is pretty tall…he’ll probably be much better than Casillas at dealing with all of those high crosses Barca love to play into the box!!
  - senjojo
    
    barca and high crosses are like salt and milk.
    - Richzorz
      
      My point exactly!! Then again Messi did score with his head again the other day…be interesting to see which GK gets the nod!
      - senjojo
        
        very very very weak header against a poor opponent. a scenario of him being totally unmarked and allowed all the time in the world to slot in the ball home. he would definitely dribble his way out of good defences but not beat them to headers.
        
        i would guarantee you Jesus will come back before i see Messi outmuscle Varana and Albiol to slot in a header against Diego.
      - Richzorz
        
        lol it’s all about the quality of the cross and the timing/positioning – he scored a header in a packed area in the CL group stage earlier this season and there was that goal against Ferdinand and Vidic a couple of seasons back…
      - senjojo
        
        yep, those r the two goals i rem. he doesnt do it out of habit. more like a Miracle. if i were fergusson, i would have suspended Vidic and Ferdinand for 5 games.
Hinotame

Iker this looks bad on you my man…make that recovery 16 weeks.
- loki
  
  Ever wondered what it takes for such a lamenting revelation to come out from the captain’s side? Mourinho’s persistence in being uncommunicative exceeding his tolerance is my guess.
senjojo

guys what do you think would be our preferred lineup for tommorrow?
- AddyDBaddy
  
  I think Mou is going to be bold..he will take it to them.
  
  Adan
  Varane,Marcelo,Ramos,Arbeloa
  Ozil, Khedira, Alonso
  Callejon, Ronaldo, Benzema
  - senjojo
    
    what do you think of Albiol-Varane patnership for a classico?
    - AddyDBaddy
      
      I would really prefer that…Albiol is doing good, giving his all.
      - senjojo
        
        me too. though i have a feeling Carvalho may replaace Varane
      - AddyDBaddy
        
        IMO…Varane needs to be there..If the wise one plays it should be for Albiol. Varane is faster, calm, distributes the ball better than any of our CB’s.
      - Hinotame
        
        I dont mind carvalho because he seems to be beastly and he could have an impact ala Puyol dispite my only concern which is SPEED lol. But I would love Varane to get in the mix with Barca!
  - 5ten
    
    Is Ramos suspended or not? Confused……
    - AddyDBaddy
      
      Not sure to be honest. I would swap in Albiol in that case.
    - nomz
      
      hey 5ten..good to c u again
    - http://twitter.com/_kaushik7 Kaushik
      
      He’s suspended, last game of the 5
- SaraMadridista
  
  I quite wonder if Kaka will be called for this game since di maria will be out, pretty much have to rely on callejon in case he wants some creative outlet.
  
  Anyway:
  Diego Lopez
  Marcelo, Carvalho, Albiol, Arbeloa
  Modric, xabi, sami
  Ozil, Benzema, Cristano.
Rich10messi

Ozil is the key
- nomz
