lanky_ffc Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) 5 hours ago, TheLip69 said: Belting goal for Las Palmas. That was a really entertaining game. Villarreal looked well off the pace first half, but got back into their stride in the second and created just enough to snatch it. Bakambu was rank for pretty much the full game, but did the business when it mattered. Bit harsh on Las Palmas, but there's times you just need to shut up shop and they seem to want to play expansive, attacking football regardless of the scoreline. Good for the neutral though.

Peppino Impastato Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Was at the Barca and Villarreal games, incredible. Absolutely wonderful experience, we even stumbled across the Barca team bus about to leave the hotel around the corner from the mestella saw messi walk right past me ten yards away they all did. Went round to stadium to see the bus arrive it was incredible, the whole place absolutely erupted with hatred and anger, there was a crowd and lots of police at the hotel but when they got to the stadium only five hundred yards away it was absolute bedlam, incredible to watch. The game had a real edge right from the start, never realised the depth of hatred for Barca all politics they were waving Spanish flags at them singing viva Espana really nasty poisonous atmosphere but magnificent experience to see. Suarez has big balls when he scored he deliberately ran right in front of the Valencia ultras behind the goal. The whole thing was mental, absolutely fantastic experience. Villarreal as a town is an utter shithole, well not that bad but not very nice. The stadium is great to watch games, you are very close to the pitch. We had great seats on the halfway line for only 25euros. Barca tickets were 95 quid also great seats the mestella is quite a place but you are much further away so high up. On halfway line there too, messi scored basically right in front us. Such a hostile atmosphere, Barca didn't actually play very well, Suarez was poor, sergi Roberto is out of his depth there, messi was okay not great, that midfielder they got from was it benfica or Porto or Valencia can't remember his name was very poor. Neymar was excellent and nani surprisingly good. Staying 300 yards from the new mestella, maybe going to do the current mestella tour today but got the mother of all hangovers was asleep with my face in a pile of my own sick on a wall outside the apartment at 6 this morning. Typical Scottish tourist. Played Sergio Garcia's home course yesterday too, also saw Valencia's training ground it's very close. Valencia is a great city really like it, and the games were a fantastic experience would recommend to anybody. Valencia surprisingly cheap too, much cheaper for food and drink than back home. Also, the la liga awards were last night in a hotel three doors away 100 yards from here so they were all there but it was surrounded by police you couldn't get close. Believe it or not we almost booked to stay in that hotel too, that would have been amazing. Think we saw Ronaldo come in by helicopter yesterday from our balcony flew right over our heads. If you ever do go to Valencia you could do so much worse than stay here it's called avenida de las Cortes like the west end of Glasgow. Speaking to a guy who owns a bar there are a couple of buildings on this street very expensive about ten Valencia and levante players live there including dani parejo. Loads of great pubs, cafes, restaurants bistro type bars ice cream places supermarket health food takeaway places pizza everything you could want all high quality and cheap. You can get authentic tapas etc or burger king whatever you want. Fantastic place and brilliant holiday, you should definitely go it's amazing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Was 30 degrees in vila-real on Sunday too, not been below about 23 anywhere since we got here. That's not a touristy place btw, perfectly safe and easy to find stadium etc, definitely go to a game there if you get the chance, to watch Barcelona or real Madrid there would be brilliant cause you are so close to the pit h, but it's not a place you would visit apart from to to the game and they are not hugely keen on tourists. An absolute world away from Valencia very very different. Walking round before the game was bizarre too an absolute ghost town right in the centre and right next to the stadium nobody around at all it was eerie. Even less than two hours to kick off completely dead. It was hot and during siesta but it was still incredibly strange. Vila-real is not what you expect biggest surprise of the trip by far. We thought because of the name it would be wealthyand exclusive it's the complete opposite, saw five of the oldest working cars I've seen in twenty five years driving about there. Kitten abandoned on the street, not a nice place but very very old Spanish so interesting to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Two or three of the Barca player's got hit by objects from the ultras celebrating the penalty too the hatred was incredible they must get that everywhere in Spain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
