Yeah, just months ago you guys were saying that he wasn't going to get a call up anytime soon, because the right back spot is taken.

You guys also said that there was just too much depth at the position for him to even get recognized, and that he wouldn't get called up in the near future for any games.

Well,he just got called up......

Arbeloa, Ramos, Pique, Alba, Puyol and Nacho got called up as well and guess what? They are all better than Azpilicueta.


So, I'm curious, are you arguing that Azpilicueta is better than Arbeloa?

No, he is not better than Arbeloa. However, Arbeloa is 30, so he is only going to regress as he gets older.

My argument at the time, and my argument now, is that he is an up and coming spanish player, and he has the potential to be a brilliant right back.

You and jersey, especially jersey, were saying that he wasn't on spain's radar , and that it was going to be hard for him to get call ups.

Clearly, he is on spain's radar, and he got called up before Michu, who has been playing out of this world as a striker and as a winger.

I said it then, and I will say it now: Azp is the future!

What the hell just happened?

Dude has an udder.

things are not good. plus no mikel,no Moses, no hazard

and we don't have a solid pivot.

however, what so crazy about this is, rafa is known for his defense, but chelsea is having issues closing out games

can't put my finger on it

for the past 6 or 7 games, Chelsea has dominated the entire match only to struggle at the very end.

didn't watch the game, though. the fans are toxic as shit now, and are causing a lot of stress

fans personally called roman and sent him emails requesting the firing of rafa ...and giving off demands. if any fan shows any support rafa, he will get verbally persecuted by the majority of the fanbase.

I'm in the back just waiting until the smoke clears.

I still got Los BLancos, though!

Dude.

I was sleep. plus there is just too much tension going on around chelsea that I don't like...mostly from the fans.

I'm sitting back in the cut on this one.

have you not learned from Eurpoa?..lol

The EPL is way down this year, and most of the teams in La liga have been playing attacking football for years. They maybe terrible in their on league because of the competition being so intense. There is just so much attacking football in la liga that even good teams can appear to be terrible.


Valencia is currently in 7th place with a winning record IN LA LIGA


kid stop it. ...I hate posting on a battle level.

Valencia would rip the asshole out of every epl team right now, and most la liga teams would, and you are hearing this from an EPL stan

Excellent goalpost shift.

It's only funny till someone gets mad. Then it's hilarious.

I knew you weren't going to give me credit. why did I even waste my time.

at least b9 was more on the congratulatory end

but you?

but im moving the goal post?...lol

you are okay with me, bro.

Shit was amazing.

naw, pepe just had some sort of cerebral collapse.

What on earth was reina thinking?

He left the net, and then dashed outside of the 18. Plus he had plenty cover in front of goal. ..He had a rene higuita moment

Danny Boy, oh danny boy, how I always wanted thee....*PAUSE*


At the bridge, danny going for goal was frowned upon.
