It said on sky sports news that Real Madrid were closing in on two young signings. Zarate and Huntelaar were two names being thrown around.

the word 'desparation' springs to mind!
cracking game tonight... well done getafe, 3-1

3-0 to barcelona! well i certainly didn't see that one coming.
sevilla started off well but they just seemed to get more and more defensive!
you can't sit back against barça this year and why would you want to at home?

I think Barca will run away with it this year just look at them in the champions league scoring 5 every game

but to be fair they wont come up against to many basles or shaktar donetsks

What a game between Valencia and Real Betis, it had just about everything.

what was miguel playing at though?

Not got a clue. It's been a day of dodgy decisions from players today.

How much power was there in the Villa freekick that smashed the bar?

espanyol and osasuna, possibly the 2 worst teams in spain at the moment.
will marquez still be in charge come the next round of games??

The weekend:

Almeria 0 Deportivo La Coruna 1
Athletic Bilbao 2 Numancia 0
Atletico Madrid 4 Racing Santander 1
Espanyol 0 Sporting Gijon 1
Malaga 4 Osasuna 2
Recreativo Huelva 1 Villarreal 2
Valencia 3 Real Betis 2
Valladolid 3 Mallorca 0
Getafe 3 Real Madrid 1
Sevilla 0 Barcelona 3

As usual La Liga throws up its fair share of surprises. Even with their dodgy form I did not have Getafe down as capable of putting three on Real Madrid. Schuster gone this week IMO, Mijatovic is just waiting for the approval from Calderon. A Mo Tchite penalty proves a false dawn as Atletico put four past Racing and stake their claim for a top six spot; Barcelona brush past Sevilla thanks to inspired displays from Messi and Eto'o; Valladolid's great form continues as they easily beat Mallorca while two Josepa Llorente goals give Athletic a priceless home win against Numancia. Recreativo and Osasuna remain the teams propping up the league but Espanyol and Almeria's slides continue.
