News and Match Previews Coordination Thread

[Barbara 15,149]

Guys, I'm sorry but I can't find a proper English Real Madrid forum. So if anyone knows an English speaking Madrid fan and wants to do opposition views for the game, go ahead. Or just direct me in his direction and I'll send him some questions.

Dude I'm as a hardcore Madrid fan as it gets Send me over your questions

there's this member, @IkE, if I'm not wrong, who's also a Madrid fan (who lives in Madrid) who is quite active in our forums, so you might be able to reach him too. Do you know who I mean?

Also, I'll probably post the pre-match tonight - my time about 24h before the match. I was going to do it now, but I'll have to leave now and I'll spend the whole afternoon.

I may write it earlier

Nour

Can you PM me the odds and if you have the TV coverage thing?

Thanks love

And I'll also write the match report if nobody does. Everything related to Madrid you guys can always count on me

I know you asked Choulo but i have them here if it helps...

Basically shortened version (On average).

Madrid: Evens

Chelsea: 21/10

Draw: 5/2

I really appreciate, sweetie because to be honest I don't understand bullocks about odds.

I have no idea what 21/10 means (I guess for each 10 bucks you bet, they pay you 21?) so I wouldn't mind if one of you guys provide me the bold part for every pre-match I do. I'll try to find the British TV coverage when I get back

Basically if you bet 10. Then we win you will get 31 back... (The 21 you won, plus your stake back)...

British TV don't show it as far as im aware... Only Chelsea TV.

so as far as I'm concerned people who's betting is betting more on Madrid winning as it evens?

I'll say it's only Chelsea TV then. I'm trying to do it before I leave, although I do believe 24h before the match is the ideal timing to post because then people are really already into the match's mood, if we post earlier I feel like it's overlooked...

As far as your concerned all you have to write in the odds part is just:

Madrid: Evens

Chelsea: 21/10

Draw: 5/2

Or even post the Pic.

If you ever need any odds for something then PM me and ill get it for you.

no, no

This part I get, hehehehe

What I said as far as I'm concerned is that first I used the wrong expression it seems second I meant that if I understand the concept right, every time a team win evens, is because tons of people are betting on that team to win, right?

Thanks Barbara, sweetie but I'm not at home now to make up the questions.

I see Hutcho helped you with the odds, as for the TV coverage, it's on Chelsea TV in England, Fox Sport in the US and Al Jazeera in the middle east.

[Hutcho 8,443]

no, no

Well yeah, obviously bookmakers set their own odds to start with but if more people bet on it then the odds will shorten.

posted. @CHOULO19, @, @ make sure to review the English before you post it

Thanks!

Were you serious about this? We do have that Madrid fan on the forum, but he's an absolute c*nt. If you're up for it, let me know and I'll PM you the questions?

[James 5,199]

Keep up the good work people! Made previews and reports the right column of the mainsite.

Of course I'm serious.

I can name all players that played for us this decade* if you want me to.

It may take a while though

I know this one I mentioned in my post is a RM fan. Or at least his family is because he mentioned his family has season tickets to the Bernabeu

*actually what I meant is since 2000

^ I'll read it now, B!

Thanks, Lex. You did an amazing job, as usual. I'll learn to write with your reviews

Alright, I'll PM the questions

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We have loads of previews and reports, and lots of news items as well - but we need more articles.

I would like three people to write 500-600 words on one of the following players:

• Romelu Lukaku
• Kevin de Bruyne
• Andre Schurrle

Criteria for the article:

• 500-600 word limit, +/- 5% - meaning a window of 475-630 words to work with.
• Assess the contribution of one of the above players in pre-season so far.
• Offer tactical analysis - including an appraisal of each player's individual strengths, especially if you can see these compare to/contrast with another player in the same position, ie. Lukaku and Ba - to suggest the best way to utilise the player in the coming season.
• Deadline - Sunday, 11th August @ mid-day (BST/GMT+1).

First come, first served!

These articles will serve as part of a pre-season player focus mini-series, set on the above three players. If you're interested, just say!

Hey guys !

I'm kinda new to this, so thanks to Alex to pointing me here . I think I can be useful here.

To start of, I think I'll do something on Schurrle. what kind of title should I use? And where do I post it when I'm done with it?

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Post it in this forum.

It won't show instantly - one of the staff have to proof-read and edit before submission.

For the title, use "Pre-season player focus - Andre Schurrle"
