Ronaldo has 51 goals in 54 appearances for Real, think that's pretty good going myself.

I think a few of the Barca players had a bob or two on that 5-0 score line as there were times that a simple ball through the Real defence would have had them one on one. It was SO easy for Barca it seemed like they were deciding when to score!!!

As EC said, quite possibly the best game of football I've ever seen.

I'm a Madrile?o but I can't stand Real, so not a Madridista by any stretch, never have been able to. Much prefer looking out for Atl?tico.

That said as a Madrile?o there's still civic pride at stake so am a little chagrined.


It was annasfields dismissive 'or whatever...' that cracked me up, can't see many Catalans feeling flattered by good wishes like that ;-P

As I dont speak castellano, yes the irony would be lost on me. :'(

It wasn't hilarious in all fairness, it just made me chuckle and irked me in equal measures, in that supercilliously xenophobic manner that the English can do so very well.


anna's comment came across very "..or whatever they do in fuzzywuzzy land", so I thought I'd poke fun.

Just ignore me, I'll go off and get a life now....


For the record it was Greek, in an attempt to reflect the levels of love lost between Madrid and Barcelona.

I was going to do France and Germany but 'allez les bleus' in german is 'go blue' apparently, and didn't really work.

I hope you're right cos I'm off to the home of football tonight, and paid the princely sum of ?10 for my lower tier ticket.

Wherever our home ground is and three moves in a hundred years or so ain't bad, especially when we need to accomodate the number of fans that come week in week out. And yes it does travel with us. It wouldn't be Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea or Man U now would it? And it certainly would be over the border in Scotland!

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
