It would be a shame for David Villa to play in a club like Tottenham. All the respect but they're not even a CL club and he's a world-class foward like Drogba, Torres, Rooney, Eto'o, Ibrahimovic...

I agree. Inter (always looking for fowards and their #7 will be out next season), Madrid (some rumours) and Chelsea (old rumours) won't let him go to Spurs. At least I hope so.

^^^ What they said. If Villa goes somewhere he should only go to a top club. He's really quite good.

I sense a dibs bid coming in from you 10ster...but dst already laid it in first.

Real Madrid couldn't win vs Murcia . Barca won 3:0 (Bojan scored) and the gap is only one point. In some time, Madrid are gonna be really sorry about firing Capello (just like in Del Bosque case).

When United fails it's a good day, if also Madrid fails it's a great day. Inter could have turned it to an perfect day

2 points. 2 points.

So much for attacking football huh

Real Madrid 3-1 Santander
Espanyol 1-1 Barcelona

Real Madrid 32 pts
Barcelona 28 pts

After 14 matches played.

Valencia it seems are worse than us at the Mestella

Great picture.

Congrats to Espanyol for holding Barca!

I wish we were 8 points behind the leader... but no, almost the double.

No, that's not right...

Try, I wish we were 8 points behind the leader, and out of the CL in the first round. But no, we're almost double behind and in danger of topping our group.

Reyes Denounces Real Madrid (link).

My Spanish is horrible but unless I'm badly misreading this article (reproduced pretty much everywhere else), Jose Antonio Reyes is taking Real Madrid to court for non-payment of wages. I believe the article states that Reyes was only paid part of his wages for Oct-Dec and then nothing at all for the rest of the year, nor did he receive the bonus the rest of the team did for winning La Liga.

If Madrid is found guilty, they could be barred from any purchases in the winter transfer market.

awesome i hope those lil B@stards rot in hell !

it's on goal.com so ya tennie you got the gist of it

How are they going to be found guilty, last time I checked, Spain still had a King...

from 101 reasons to hate Real Madrid, reason no. 11 "Spain still had a King.."

But they still have a king,..

But Spain has a king

In Spain, Real Madrid is above the law and it's so fun to see them fail. Can't wait for the super clasico.

It's better to see FC Hype fail. Specially like they did last year. Thank you R.Madrid, Internacional and Liverpool.

Superclassico? Yeah, it's about time they beat Real Madrid... last time they did that was 2 years ago.

I don't like Barcelona either. But Real Madrid should never even think of talking about referees, simple as that!

Madrid will win this classico.

It's in Catalonia, day 23 or 22 of this month, so I believe Barcelona will win. They simply do not lose points at home.

But I think - no mather the result on that match - R.Madrid will go to Xmas holidays in the 1st place of La Liga.

The Osasuna-Valencia match is just painful to watch (and not just because Gol TV has the sucktastic commentators for the match). It's hard to equate the team I'm watching with the team that played so beautifully last season. (0-0 in the 30th).

Feed the horse and he will score. Bilbao 0-1 Real - RvN.

That guy... is just something.

Stunner.

Robinho hit the post in a magnificent play trough the middle. A shame it didn't get it.

FT 0-1. Deserved win for Real in a difficult pitch (Bilbao).

Yep a good win.

Thanks for the vid Porty, very nice goal/

And Ruud will also certainly break Pippo's record in Europe. No matter how much Inzaghi extends it...

By the way, damn you Real, Bilbao is the team I like in Spain. You know with the Basque-only policy they're cool...

Without question.

thanks for the vid!
great goal.
and
OH MY GOD VAN NISTELROOY SCORED FROM OUTSIDE THE BOX.
amazing isnt it

http://www.d1g.com/video/show/1592993

Superb.

Oliveira is doing well for Zaragoza.

scored twice in 4 mins to save them from a defeat.

final score Zaragoza 3 - 3 Espanyol

Athletico Madrid 1-0 Getafe
4 redcards lol

Very good match.

Atletico match was crazy.

Barca 1-0 down to Depor. Ex Barca boy Cristian scored in the 2nd minute

Barca 1 - 1 Depor


Ronaldinho scored through a penalty.

EDIT !!! Silvio Berlusconi is in the stands for this game

Is it?

The shot is very bad actually, he just hits it as hard as he can with no technique, he's lucky it even want goalwards.

Can someone confirm Silvio's presence? If it's true... bad news.

Very bad news.

It isn't bad news if he's there to get Zambrotta! I didn't see him in the crowd during the game and there is no mention of his being in Barcelona for the game in the Italian press. Joan Laporta came out with another 'We're not selling Ronaldinho' statement today.

In other news it seems that Sevilla's Andres Palop broke his hand and will be out for quite a long while.

Valencia 0 - Barca 2. 27min, Eto'o with both

What happened to Valencia? They've totally lost their mojo. They look helpless.

It's Valencia 0 - 2 Barca (both Eto'o) in the 28th.

EDIT: Damn, Misha beat me again!

You are too slow

ٍEto'o setting Mestalla on fire. two goals so far.

Valencia needed a top-coach. They got an amateur... an incompetent in Koeman.

Again: Valencia needs a top-coach.

They replaced Flores too quickly. Yes, they weren't playing good in CL, but in La Liga they were 1 point from Real Madrid back then.

Messi injured and it looks serious. he will probably lose the El Classico.

What a save from Canizares !!! Giovanni tried his luck and it would have been a wonder goal had it went in !!!

0:3!!

Nice move from Barca ... 0-3.

Valencia fans leaving the stadium!
