will this curse ever be broken? Im really dissappointed that Schuster never took Guti off earlier. I mean to give De La Red what was it 10 minutes, in which he done more than Guti did all game. Guti just looks lazy out there. He only does well when others around him does the dirty hard work and lays the ball to him to slip in an easy assist which im sure any average player could do. It also showed that we really need another striker, sure Raul works hard during the games he plays but we need someone besides Van Nistelrooy to score 20+goals a season. Sorry about all the backlash im just upset the record against Deportivo continues for at least another year.

I don’t understand why Guti has to align himself so close to Diarra. He’s completely ineffective in that position: he’s unable to play the role of ‘offensive fulcrum’ which is a big reason why we’re so stale on the attack. Set piece defending is miserable! Schuster should’ve made his substitutions much earlier: De la Red should’ve come in for Raul to allow Guti foward and Higuain to be in a striker’s position. Drenthe was useless. Dela Red should’ve taken those 2 free kicks in the Depor danger zone too… sigh…. the curse continues.

fkn hell, that was so incredibly disappointing. Schuster really has GOT to work on defending set-pieces. Ramos was really poor at marking his man.

and I think I may be a bit in love with Guardado.

at least I can find some solace in that Barca managed to somehow lose as well. Numancia’s wingback (i think his name is Carlos Bellvis or something) was very impressive.

HERE WE GO DAY 1 BABY! THE QUEST FOR THE TREBLE STARTS NOW! Clearly, I’m already drinking in anticipation for round 1.

Final score prediction: 3-2 Whites break the Riazor curse.

In other unrelated news, it looks like Valencia will actually be a contender again this year. I watched their match yesterday and they looked pretty solid. However, they did take down a weak Mallorca side that is a ghost of last year’s. HALA MADRID TODAY!

SQUAD LIST

Goalkeepers: Iker Casillas, Jerzy Dudek
Defenders: Fabio Cannavaro, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo, Heinze, Metzelder, Torres
Midfielders: Diarra, Gago, Robben, Guti, Drenthe, De la Red
Forwards: Raúl, Van Nistelrooy, Higuaín.

No Robinho or Javi Garcia. Poor guy, he got a rough go so far, I hope he isnt frozen out for to long

Sambit, you have been invited too.

Kaushik, you should be in the league automatically since I invited you into it

Sambit, I agree about Robinho, and he has indeed been left out. Drenthe should get a chance, and Robben is in such good form that Robinho wont be missed.

Cesar and realrock- I just invited you.
