La Liga - Jornada 32 (midweek)

Barcelona -- Sevilla

Betis -- Valencia

Deportivo -- Almería

Racing -- Atlético

R. Madrid -- Getafe

Sporting -- Espanyol

Mallorca -- Valladolid

Osasuna -- Málaga

Villarreal -- Recreativo

Numancia -- Athletic


So the sequence of games where every big team plays each other consecutively continues in these midweek fixtures, with Barcelona hosting Sevilla. I think we can win the match, though I really don't want it to turn into a physical battle, so I'll take a draw and no injuries if you offered me that right now.

Doubt Getafe will get anything at the Bernabeu. Are Granero and Soldado allowed to play? If they are, have they mysteriously picked up an injury or suspension?

Only other interesting fixtures look to be the relegation 6 pointers between Numancia-Athletic and Sporting-Espanyol.

While we have a buy-back option on Granero I'm quite sure he can play against us since he already did in the last round. Soldado was a direct sale to Getafe so he'll definitely play.

Now it's time to see if Marcelo's Nostradamus skills are really there. According to him, this will be a game where Farça draws and we cut 2 points from the lead.

Just saw that Lass is out, so it may be Guti coming in to partner Gago in Juande's new-found 4-2-4 formation against Getafe. Normally this would give me some optimism, but Getafe are a poor side so I still don't think it'll make much of a difference.

It does look like Guti will be back. Really can't understand how he keeps getting picked. I'd rather Parejo (although he just got back from international duty with the Spain U-20s and hasn't been training) or Javi Garcia. Oh well.

You better hope that your team remembers they have a game during the week. They've only played two games in midweek since Christmas and look how they turned out!

It's all nice and easy playing just in the weekends but let's see how you do now...

with villarreal and valencia entering their death run, if atletico can keep their ship in order, they could nick the 4th cl spot.

Exciting week this. Can't wait!!

In the next two games, if Barca slip up against Sevilla at home and/or Valencia away, and Real Madrid win both their games, Madrid could be leaders after the next game, El Clasico, should they beat Barcelona.

On the other hand, if Barca win both games and Real Madrid lose either against Getafe or Sevilla, Barcelona could be champions in the Bernabeu, should they be victorious on May 3rd.

But rarely makes for good football though which what matters in the end.

The last time Getafe came to the Bernabeu.

VdV and Guti in the same midfield? Gago will be running his ass off tonight.

I know, poor guy isn't going to have any legs left by the end of the game.

Palop appeal has been rejected.

Numancia-Athletic set to kick off at the same time as Real Madrid-Getafe...important three points for the relegation battle in that one.

Casillas matches Butragueño tonight with his 341st appearance for the club.

First real chance of the game comes to Soldado. Marcelo marking nobody but our canterano hits it too high.

Guti actually jogging around a bit!

Anyone got a link to the game. Cant find any working ones.

ILLA ILLA ILLA JUANITO MARAVILLA!

You have no idea.

uuuuuuyyyyyy

If Raul had got on to the end of that.

Why does VDV get to take all of the free kicks? I don't think he's not scored from one all season long. Always hits it into the wall.
