Real Madrid knocked out the Copa Del Rey by Leganes, after losing 2-1 at Home  ;D

I reckon the only reason Zidane has lasted this long is that they have someone else lined up to take over in the summer.

I know exactly why I don't like them and it goes beyond football. Although having fans so self obsessed and immodest they make Manure fans seem humble is another reason.

Holy crap! Is that even possible??? The mind boggles.

I dont much like Real Madrid either, except when they play Barca, who I dislike purely because they are so full of themselves. Don't get me wrong they really DO play beautiful football, I just get tired of them droning on about it.

This is absolute genius from the club official Twitter account:

And to be fair to the Leeds fans, they seem to have taken it in good spirit.



Excellent!

That's brilliant!

Pochettino, and Kane will go with him. And Erikson and Son, if they've got any sense. There'll be no titles at the Lane.

Is Kane good enough for real Madrid you reckon? I have not watched him play the past year so I genuinely don't know. I guess I am always skeptical of the English press overhyping our players you know? Kane the real deal?

Kane is superb and one of the most natural finishers in the world today. His movement is outstanding. He’ll do just fine at Madrid if he went there.

Kane needs to go abroad. He needs to have a go at other types of defences week in, week out.

Harry Kane is the only genuine world class English player, he’s the real deal.

At least the Barcelona fans can drone on in Catalan if they want to these days, as opposed to the Castilian language which was enforced upon them under the military dictatorship of General Franco. The safety in numbers and impracticalities of arresting tens of thousands of people were the only reasons they could get away with speaking their own language in the Camp Nou. Hence their pride in the Catalan colours and badge on their shirts and why they refused to sully it with sponsorship for so many years. The bitterness from those years is a big part of the Catalan independence movement which is causing disputes now. I don't like generalizing people, but in my time living in the Canary Islands I found  the Madrilenos arrogant and felt they looked down on the islanders (I heard them call the islanders 'peasants' and 'farmers'). No surprise then that Canary Islanders like Madrilenos  about as much as the Catalans do.

Barcelona have the least inventive songbook of any team.

"MEEEE-SSI"
"INIEEEES-TA"
"XAAAA-VI"

They're still a great bunch of lads compared to those Fascist, bull-murdering twats from Madrid though, obviously.

That's still 2 more than Everton.

They also have that anthem of theirs which sounds like it should be an ice hockey team's tune.
