Village Idiot

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.

Aye, Depor don't really look like they are playing for their lives here; it's not that a strong lineup from us either. I mean, does Vermaelen even remember the shape of a football?

That was a perfectly good goal.

They will, they are playing Córdoba who are relegated and pretty s***. EDIT: 2-0 after a quick start. Looks like they've sealed it.

Looks like we are taking this seriously; 1-0 up and Depor going down at the moment. Almería also scored against Valencia; that would keep them up and puts Valencia in danger of losing their CL place.

That's my take on it too. They don't want the undermine the manager (more so than he manages to undermine himself, anyway), when relegation is on the line.

It should be a fun afternoon in La Liga, btw. All games where there's something to play for are on at the same time; and there's still a few of the CL and EL places yet to be decided; plus four clubs fighting to avoid the two relegation spots yet to be assigned.

It's 1984 stuff this. "We have always been in a relegation battle. We have never been comfortably midtable."

Don't get in trouble with your wife for football, brummie; we are all a bit crazy for it here, but at the end it's just football. And by that I mean, if you really want to do it, don't lie to her. It will poison the entire thing.

Yeah, I'm trying to find it. Priceless stuff that. It got posted on here quite often during its time, to be deservedly laughed at.
