Village Idiot

It was worse when it was "Qatar Foundation"; a "humanitarian" foundation run by the royalty of a country like Qatar. Aye. I agree that predatory lenders are scum, though.

Jémez signs a new one-year contract with Rayo

Xavi's 35. I would rather he stayed one more year, but he's hardly jumping ship early.

Saying goodbye to Xavi Even with all those tattoos he can't look like a badboy

Yeah, so it made a lot of sense to go with halves. Contract runs out in 2016. They are reportedly going to double the money to get us to extend it, but it's very unpopular among fans. Probably will be an issue in this summer election.

The two halved kit was rooted in tradition; the very first Barça kit was half blue, half crimson: http://www.blaugranas.com/media/galeria/25/2/6/0/8/n_f_c_barcelona_los_aficionados-28062.jpg

Obviously they had to make a radically different kit to boost sales since everybody and their dogs already have a classic striped one. I haven't bought a Barça kit since they put Qatar on the shirt anyway.

Came across as pretty sincere; it's not that there was a deluge of support from the dressing room for Mourinho when he left either.

Bunch of players - including Ronaldo - backed Ancelotti after the game by the way.

They should stick that stat in that record page froggy linked to, then.

Odegaard to come in.

No, they would've been screwed. I hope Sevilla win the EL and qualify; Barcelona-Madrid-Atlético-Valencia-Sevilla is a damn great Spanish lineup for the CL.

Bernabéu fans booing. They are such mongs.

Yes. In case of a three-way scenario (like this one) a "minileague" is created where only games among the three teams are counted. Eibar had the best global GA, but the worst set of results against Depor and Almería.

Sevilla end up with 76 points - their highest tally ever - yet it only merits 5th place. The top 4 of La Liga has been incredibly competitive this season.

Incidentally, this underlines the idiocy of our current head-to-head rules. Almería, Depor and Eibar are on the same points, and the team with the best GA - Eibar - ends up relegated.

Somehow, the fact that we've dropped points against shitty Depor and saved them makes me fear for you lot tomorrow.

Valencia score! Rather they get in the CL and Sevilla do it by winning the EL.

They are safe with this result, and I don't think we are arsed enough to press them much.

Oops, a three-way tie with 35 points relegates Eibar currently.

They are pretty positive, just really soft.

Sevilla score another. Valencia need to score in their game or they are f***ed. EDIT: Messiiiii

Sevilla score, with current results Valencia are out of the CL.
