I’ll bet … all the richer for the experience

Yep - it’s almost as though there is one rule for the wealthy and another for the rest of us.

I wonder if it cost them £12 million - like we payed for Andrew?

Bit random … if anyone wants to check out our Champions League opponents, currently on ITV4, we have :
Real v Valencia

Great shout - cheers miller. Big La Liga game on terrestrial TV

Apparently Real are 8 points behind Barca, with this game in hand. Suffered from complacency this season against teams they should beat.

We’ve got a chance then…

They won the first 13 league games and looked to be walking it. Mad turnaround if Barca end up winning the league.

[miller0863]

They haven’t looked to crash hot in this one, occasional flashes here and there from the likes of Benzema. 0-0 after 37.

[miller0863]

Real had two clear chances in the first half and a goal from a corner ruled out.
Apart from that, against an abysmal managerless opponent on a dismal run of form, it was a bit limp. Seen even us play better than that this season.

However, they play us in the Champions League and will have no problem getting up for that one.

Asensio

And those you don’t stop. RM 1:0

[miller0863]

Cracker from Assensio on the angle of the area, across the keeper into the far corner.
That was very good.

Real 1-0 Valencia

Then Vinicius shows the world what genuine pace can do 2:0 RM
