And look at the top comment..


I was watching a match between leverkusen and barcelona.

in the match Busquets get tackled and his rolling on the ground taking himself to the head.

one of the 2 commentators then said very seriously: "Its look like he's been badly hurt"

the other one replied: "nah, dont forget its busquets"

the first one replies: "haha I know, I was kidding!"

Realistically looking at someone getting over 60 goals in a season in a top league.  People make a big deal out of players playing too many games and when a player plays 50 odd games it is seen as a great achievement.  But to score over 60 would surely be up there with the greatest season performance by any footballer.  I was thinking the other day what will Messi be like when he hits 28-33, will he lose alot of his effectiveness as he loses speed or will he keep going the duration of his career? 

A few years back it was a big achievement to get in the 30's for a season in any of Europes top leagues, I remember Ronaldo having a great record in his first two seasons at Inter at a time when it was notoriously defensive and the top scorers rarely broke twenty goals.  But his goal scoring records are now being completely overshadowed by Messi and even the other Ronaldo, who for all his faults is scoring at an unbelievable rate also.

2 more pts dropped by madrid tonight.
Lead back to 6 and Madrid still must go to Nou Camp
Huge swing in momentum the past week.

Great win for Bilbao in Germany tonight (4-2). Can't win a game in Spain but great to watch in this competition.

Aye, you just beat me to it. Even though it was United they bossed in the last round I have to say they're a joy to watch. Can't really understand why they're not higher in La Liga - inconsistency of youth perhaps. Always admired them for sticking to their principles and not signing non Basques. Incredibly have never been relegated from the top division in Spain I think.

Thought this had ended recently, but wiki tells me merely 'relaxed' - they now also recruit players of direct Basque ancestry as well as purebreds
