Sevilla have banged a few goals in already this season though, so maybe it bodes well for them? Real Madrid up for them next week so that game could tell us a lot.

Not liking the look of the Atlético midfield for tonight, I just can't see them offering the shaky defence enough protection and David Silva and Mata will probably run riot.

Should be a cracker next week. Just hope Sevilla don't do the same as almost every club they've played this year and give Madrid plenty of time and space.

Can't see anything other than a Valencia victory tonight I'm afraid.

Me neither but, 1-0 Atlético after 7 minutes, Aguero with a very well worked goal.

Normal service now well and truly resumed.

Valencia all the way. When is Fernandes back?

Just come back from a walk and the score was 2-1 when I passed the bar.
Popped my head in and asked how it was going and the barman told me Resino was getting sacked in the morning

Th equaliser might have saved him for another week, or maybe it will be a big turning point

Just seen Drenthe's tackle again on television. Apparently he did break the lad's ankle. Bertran is out for around four months. Not even a yellow card for the Dutchman

Team of the weekend for me:

Toño-Racing
Dani Alves-Barça
Piqué-Barça
Puyol-Barça
Filipe-Deportivo
Messi-Barça
Renato-Sevilla
Aguilar-Zaragoza
Pedro-Barça
Ibrahimovic-Barça
Benzema-Madrid

Real Madrid equalise with a good header from the animal otherwise known as Pepe. Was never a free kick though.
That came against the run of play. Sevilla unlucky to find themselves level. Should have been more than 1-0 at half time.

Anyone seen [ithat[/i Casillas save?

Pretty impressive that.

Can't be long before Roig loses patience with Valverde. Six games without a win is not usually Villarreal's style.

Saw the catch up show before.

Save and a half.

Could and should have been more for Sevilla, especially in that first half. Still say Casillas is the best in the world.
Vila-real look poor and there are rumours that the dressing room isn't the happiest of places.

Kaká you swine!

Back to winning ways for Real Madrid tonight I would imagine.

By at least two goals I'd have thought.
The game at the Mestalla will be a cracker.

C'mon Valencia!



Shame Villa is going to miss the game. Is Silva missing also?

Villa's in the squad so who knows? Chygrynskiy and Henry out for Barça.
Joaquín is out for Valencia, but Mata and Silva play.

Sure I read that he won't be playing? I'm more than likely wrong though, hope he does play.

3-1 to Madrid at half time. Dear me Valladolid are poor!
They're doing what every team bar Sevilla have done against Madrid so far this year. They're defending with little intention of going forward. They look shiit scared.
Raúl (2), Marcelo - Nauzet

How long does Raul have left on his contract?

No idea mate.

Surely his last season now.

He was presented with some award pre-match.
Valladolid have pulled one back. Still Madrid's game though.

As I said earlier, Villa not playing....Knew I was right!



Madrid were shocking in defence Pepe was very poor!

All I said was that he had been named in the squad



Madrid struggle when teams don't respect them and take it up the backside.
