A question four our Spain forum members (or anyone else that knows the answer):

What's this about MARCA deciding who scored a goal even though the ref of the game already decided as so?

Case in point: Barcelona's second goal had two options: autogol (Amorebieta/Athletic) - or Gol de Messi!!!!

- the ref said it was Messi's goal because even though the defender tried to kick it out and failed to do so by introducing it into his own net, it turns out that Messi's ball would have gone in any way - therefore making it his gol - - - - - - - But MARCA officialy postd on its web site that it was considering it an autogol and thus making this decision be part of the "official" pichichi scoring tally. - therefore, not an official gol by Messi but an autogol "awarded" to Amorebieta - and I'm sure he is not happy either.

Any way, weird stuff. What gives?

Marca tend to think they always know better. I think last year they also did something similar with one of Messi's goals, or was it CR?... they like to draw attention I guess. Bunch of donkeys !

Michu 2 - Gunners how many ?

Not bad for a donkey player from a third-rated donkey vallecas team

maybe you need a couple more Spanish players

Yep we put them in their place all right - above us!!
Laudrup is a very good coach and Swansea out-possessed the ball, beating us at our own game.
Msr Wenger is past his sell by date I'm afraid, completely out of ideas. Michu performed very well (I never said he was a donkey!) but Arsenal handed Swansea the initiative by not starting the match with Giroud.

^^I think they did it last yr as well but it didn't matter in the end.. They also did it to to Eto'o a few yrs back (so says MD) and he lost the trophy to Forlan IIRC.
Race, The pichichi trofeo is presented by Marca so I guess they like to play gods sometimes. Anyways official count is 21 for this season. Most strikers (ahem highllllly rated like Rooney etc) would be glad to end the season on this taly

Why are you picking on Rooney? He scored 34 last year. He's only managed 5 goals this season because he's been injured and been playing in midfield.

Pick on Torres instead!
