valeron that mug missed a sitter and blew the game for depor

[LaFuriaBlaugrana]

Valeron is no mug, the man's a La Liga legend but damn, so close. Oh well, if this was in la Coruña I'd be more concerned (Madrid hasn't won at the Riazor since 1991), but at least Madrid's defense remains shaky.

Well the defense was the only worrying part but it's not like that there isn't going to be issues on the first fixture.

More of the same from last year with different names. Penalty was a gift and Depor deffence made it really easy.

You guys should be 2 or 3 at the end of the season.

Good luck!

Things I discovered so far in La Liga:

1. Of all the great young Spanish coaches in La Liga, Marcelino sure as hell doesn't product the most attractive football, but he's downright godly at getting the most out of what he has. Take Zaragoza's victory over Tenerife; Tenerife controlled the game, Zaragoza made the most of their one good chance, by none other than Arizimendi. If Marcelino can get Arizimendi to regularly score goals, the man can only be a genius. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if Jarmaine Pennant has a good season.

2. Xerez sucks. Every year there is that one team in La Liga that is barely Segunda quality, and for Xerez survival would be an incredible thing. In their first season in La Liga, 18th place would be an achievement.

3. Atletico is still exactly who we thought they were. As I write this, our own Xavi Torres just put a final nail in their 3-0 loss to Málaga. Coach Abel Resino was sent off, and as I said in my preview, I don't think this is the last dismissal he will see in the near future....


At least Athletic is about to beat Espanyol. Gora!

[Irvin_007]

I don't understand why GolTV is only showing Almeria v Valladoid today ... and they aren't showing the FCB game tomorrow

[LaFuriaBlaugrana]

WTF, they are showing Almeria v Valladoid and not Valencia v Sevilla, by far the most interesting game of the week?

Speaking of, lineups:

Moya
Miguel--Alexis--Dealbert--Bruno
Pablo--Marchena--The Webcam--Mata
Villa--Silva

vs

Palop
Konko--Squillaci--Escude--Navarro
Jesus Navas--Duscher--Romaric--Perotti
Kanoute--Fabiano


Amunt Valencia, I guess.
And yes, Valencia are wearing their hilariously awful bat shirts, before anyone asks.
