la liga jornada 16 thread

so then lets get this weekends spanish football fixtures on talk.


Spanish Primera Liga

21:00 Valencia vs Barcelona
19:00 Espanyol vs Levante

both valencia and barcelona teams playing each other on saturday night. barcelona valencia would be a huge game except for the fact i doubt valencia have a chance on their current play.

Sunday 16th December

16:00 Mallorca vs Athletic Bilbao
18:00 Recreativo Huelva vs Atletico Madrid
16:00 Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Zaragoza
16:00 Getafe vs Villarreal
20:00 Real Madrid vs Osasuna
16:00 Murcia vs Racing Santander
16:00 Real Betis vs Almeria
16:00 Valladolid vs Sevilla

madrid to win again at home for me.
sevilla maybe in 4 a suprise on sunday.
can villareal get back to form .

anyhow forts from anyone?

At home to Osasuna hmmmm.

Portillo wont be able to play against us, so who does that leave upfront for Osasuna?

Osasuna tend to be a more physical team in previous years esp at home, so having Baptista and Diarra will add a bit of steel to the midfield.

Dady + Vela will probably be Ziganda's choice. Not too worried, this year (unlike last season), we win our home games.

Oh, and...

AMUNT VALENCIA!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we will f@ck it up and lose

GORA OSASUNA!!!!!

A must win game for the oranges and their Orange coach, and why not! A win over Barcelona means everything for him...Barca is Cr@p in away games but Valencia is Cr@p both home and away!

What a weekend of interesting matches!!! Cant wait!

tbh the return of eto'o coming back into fitness now .

and the lacklustre displays of valencia

sorry to disapoint you all i think barcelona will win.

Barca v Valencia will end up a draw.

just hope we can keep out form going and win at Recreativo de Huelva. There is still animosity following the Kun handball goal at the Calderon last season so I'm sure they'll be well up for it.

Does anyone know if any Barca players who are on 4th yellow at the moment?

(I found it. There's one, Touré Yaya. FYI, Gago and Sneijder are on 4 yellows, too.)

It would have been perfect if Valencia vs. Barcelona was on the Sunday evening. Three class games in one day!

I hope Valencia win, but Barcelona are getting closer to their best now as the injury list becomes lighter and lighter.

Shame on you Cesc!!

If it weren't for us (Cesc and extremely overpriced transfers) you would be a midtable team

Valdes

Abidal - Milito - Marquez - Puyol

Guddy - Yaya - Xavi

Iniesta - Eto'o - Messi

Bojan, Zambo, Deco and Dinho on bench.

Canizares

Miguel - Helguera - Marchena - Moretti

Joaquin - Albelda - Montoro

Arizmendi - Morientes - Silva

Zigic, Sunny, Vicente and Manuel Fernandes on bench.

Eto'o 0 - 1

Yes, thats why he is the best #9 is the world.

Eto'o almost with a second

2-0 etoooooooooooooooooooooooooo best play ever

Jesus Christ, that may be team goal of the season, Valencia destroyed!

..........and he scores this time, 0 - 2.

Valencia might as well go home now.

great team goal

Etoooooooooooooo

Just replayed the goal, by my count 21 passes. 2-3 of those peaches.

This looks more like Barca...

Are Barcelona shining or are Valencia really this awful? I think its a it of both, more towards Valencia really spiraling down. A very dispirited performance.

damn you Valencia.

Damn you for sending us Helguera. What goes around Jaime.

Eto'o is back and there's nothing his rivals can do anything about it!

Well they can do two things: 1. nothing, 2. like it.

Morientes off - looks like he's pulled a calf muscle. Looks like Vicente may be coming on.

Messi

Just a scratch on his knee. Don't freak out.
