Some of that attacking football in the first half makes you want to sing The Pogues song Fiesta :x

Some sensational attacking play that to be honest I haven't seen all season.  As @The Rebel CRS has been saying as the season has drawn on, Barcelona have been getting better and better.

wtf. they have songs other than 'Fairytale of New York'?!

Arnáiz has earned his la liga debut, although it would have been better to see him come on a bit earlier. 

The second half was a shadow of the first and it seemed as though the players took their foot off the gas. 

Paulinho with the 3rd sealed it though.  Nice play by Messi to set it up, although it's what we've come to expect from him, magician.

Watching some of Villarreal vs Deportivo.

Villarreal have played some really good football at times. Enjoyed watching them dominate this match on the whole and at times running rings around Deportivo. 

But the away side just equalised against the run of play and could gain an unlikely point here.

It’s hard to keep this one short mate.

When I say fully deserved I’ts not in relation to their support or anything of the sort just in case anyone interprets it that way or also the fact that out of the two Galician clubs in La Liga my affinities and sympathies sway towards Celta Vigo.

Simply because they ripped off the local council who had been helping the club for decades by charging them 1 cent for the rent of the stadium (Riazór is a municipal stadium and thus belongs to the local government). They then overspent during a bunch of years and failed to put in place a wage structure which was in tune with their status and their income... They also messed around with taxes and were fined for this which crippled the club adding everything else with that.

In other words everything was self inflicted and the man (the then president César Lendoiro) who put them on the world’s football map for almost a decade became their own personal demon who also doomed them to mediocrity for possibly their entire future.

immediate response from Real though!

Maxi Gomez playacting during a Celta attack. Real counter themselves now, Kroos plays in Bale who slides it past the Celta keeper. 1-1.

and now it's 2-1 to Real! Barely 2 minutes after equalising, Bale nets his 2nd. Times his run perfectly and deftly flicks it to make it 2-1. Celta's defenders were too static.
