Valencia/Sevilla tonight, could be a good 'un.

will be going to the bar and having a caña or 3 with that one.
great result for atletico last night and if sevilla can win tonight they'll stay in those champions league places.
numancia had a goal disallowed... and i've still no idea why. maybe that could have altered the outcome as it was 1-0 at the time. but overall los colchoneros fully deserved the 3 points.
turned the recre-madrid game off at half time. the really are the anti-football. watched the getafe-barça game beforehand and the difference is incredible! barça should have had two pens, but it's swings and roundabouts as they got away with it last week when valdes did his wwf impression.
one other thing, it's really sad to see players resorting to cheap fouls whenever messi gets the ball. a worrying thing for barça is that it's starting to happen to iniesta too.

Yep, it was a shocking decision, didn't seem to be anything wrong with it at all.

Seems like noone wants that 4th spot at the moment, Valencia and Villarreal have both been in the driving seat for it at times this season then gone on a bad run and fallen away, Atlético's run in [ishould[/i be favourable, but as we know that guarantees nothing with them!

My pre-season bet of Sevilla or Atletico to win the league without Barça/Madrid looks good

What the hell was Navarro thinking?

Deserved win for Valencia but I think it could have ended 1-1 if it hadn't been for that stupid penalty he gave away.

14 yellow cards and one red

Aye the ref was booking everything that moved, ruined the first half really it was ridiculously stop start.

result not good news for atletico. i really hope sevilla don't let 3rd slip. it would take quite an effort.

Now thats a finish

Betis 1-0 up

great news for espanyol

if you get chance check out malaga's goal from this weekend. absolute peach

Well, their next 3 are Barca, Real and Villarreal so who knows how the table will look after that?

This years weird fixture list has made the table quite misleading at times, Sevilla built up a big gap but they've had a reasonably good run of games - it's like Atlético earlier in the season being down in 10th after they had the Sevilla/Barca/Real/Villarreal run, by the time we got to halfway and everyone had played everyone they were up into 3rd.

Should mean plenty of good games moving toward the end of the season though.

Well most things are still as clear as mud after this weeks games, Espanyol have given themselves a chance of avoiding the drop by beating Racing, but it still looks a big ask, Betis' change of manager seems to have had the desired effect as they win again to move 7 clear of the drop zone, Athletic will be looking over their shoulders nervously after slipping down over the last few weeks.

Sporting unbelievably bad last night. If they stay up it will be a miracle.

Just when you thought the "title race" was about to be put out of it's misery, 2 goals in the last four minutes gives Real Madrid the win against Getafe.

couldnt believe it! fair play to getafe though. actually played football rather than cause injuries and all out defend.
pepe's challenge was terrible. he should get a decent ban for that... but we are talking about a madrid player

One swing wasnt enough



He missed both times, didnt he

Feck knows what he was doing, don't think he was actually trying to kick the guy with the second swing though.

cannavaro back to juve, in paper this morning

you are joking aren't you?



absolute shocker of a penalty

Just let me know when the season is over if they stay up or not...too much tension to follow it too closely lol

Jeez its only Sporting Gijon away on thursday

No, he was stood right above him and swung his leg right over, the guy was on the floor - if he'd really intended to kick him again he couldn't have missed.

The way I saw it was as a ed off swing, he knew he'd given a penalty away.

not having that. you can see the look on his face. if he'd have swung a foot or so above the lad then fine, but he even catches his shorts. they're even saying he took two swings at him on the news over here.

He did take 2 swings
