La Liga Jornada 23

Two games today - Madrid at home to Betis, kicking off in about 45 mins from now, and then Zaragoza host Villarreal.

Both should be interesting games. Madrid are better away from home than at home, and Betis are undergoing a revival under Fernandez, they're now unbeaten in 5. I think this is a winnable game for them.

Zaragoza's form hasn't been that great, but they should surely take the points against an ordinary Villarreal.

Will be a tough game tbh, i think we will edge it.

Prediction:

1-0. RVN.

---------------------Iker-----------------------

Ramos-----Helguera------Cannavaro------Torres

Beckham------------Guti-----------------Robinho

VAMOS ROBINHO!!!!!

No Raul?

About 25 mins in, fairly even game so far. 0-0.

0-0 at halftime. I'm not watching the game, but listening on radio, it sounds like a shit match.

HT Changes: Gago off, Raul on.

And River for Capi for Betis.

Reyes on for Robinho, who's booed off by the Bernabeu.

I wonder if we can get him as a Ronaldinho backup in the summer
Certainly will be cheaper than C. Ronaldo!

Sounds like Real are as crap as us.

van Nistelrooy misses yet another chance from a Beckham pass, and Betis bring on Robert for Sobis.

The game on Tuesday is going to be absolutely dreadful

And I'll be in the stadium!

20 Mins to go...

LETS WIN THIS THING!!!

HALA MADRID!!!!!!!!

Betis hit the bar.

Have no fear Casillas is there!!!

Marcelo comes on, making his return from injury, but he substitutes S. Ramos who just got injured. Too bad for Madrid, Ramos is their best defender

Hopefully it's nothing serious...

VAMOS REAL!!

Lineups for Zaragoza-Villarreal:

Zaragoza:
Cesar, Diogo, Juanfran, G.Milito, S. Fernandez, Oscar, Movilla, Zapater, D'Allessandro, Sergio Garcia, D. Milito

Villarreal:
Barbosa, Jose Enrique, Javi Venta, Quique Alvarez, Fuentes, M. Fernandez, Fuentes, Senna, Josico, Cani, Jose Mari, Tomasson

The first few white handkerchiefs are beginning to appear at the Bernabeu...

Let us win the game, then we can worry about the hankies. 12 Mins

Apparently Betis have missed a lot of easy chances.

Apparently Ruud missed a sitter

As long as Mourinho is the replacement

5 Mins to go!!!

Vamos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One M'fking goal...

What's the point in Jose going there? You'll have sacked him 3 games into the new season

Mourinho has said; when he leaves Chelsea

He will like to coach a 'big' team in Italy .. not sure about Spain (Barcelona will be ideal, but they hate him)

and coach his national side.

90% certain to happen in the summer. Will only happen earlier if they drop below 4th.

In Italy im sure they will welcome his style of football.
