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.

Barcelona 78
R. Madrid 72

Sporting 33
Recreativo 30
Espanyol 29

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
