Sevilla goal, 2-4

Depor - Sevilla turning out to be a kickass game, 2-3 now.

FIFA issued a warning against the Spanish government instituting collective bargaining for football TV rights by law, saying it goes against their statuses. They are claiming the Spanish FA should manage them. They are just angling for their cut, the shameless corrupt cunts

Osasuna's former president and two board members have been arrested in relation to this.

Quique Flores has left Getafe after the club sold Sammir, one of his key players, to a Chinese club behind his back. He had been only 52 days in charge and had steered the club out of relegation spots.

He's still a damn good forward, though, and I can see him having a steadier career than both Ro's. He's certainly more professional than Ronaldinho, and hopefully he won't have Ronaldo's issues. I agree he's not nearly as brilliant as any of them.

Flip incoming... Post was partly intended as Flip bait, indeed.

Ronaldo's record is amazing. Best player I have seen in our shirt until the short Argie came along. 47 goals in a single season at 20 years of age...

Neymar surpassed Romario today in goals scored for Barça (41). Needs 6 goals to catch Fat Ronaldo (47) and become our third most prolific Brazilian, behind Ronaldinho (69) and Rivaldo (130).

Well, looks like it's gonna be the third Athletic - Barça cup final in 6 years.

Espanyol snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, color me surprised.

Would you rather Espanyol or Atheltic in the final? Espanyol obviously. The city would be buzzing. I'm NOT going to cheer for them now, though, that's too big an ask!

Neymar was too selfless last season, and sometimes he's too selfish in this one. He'll get the balance right in time I guess.

Guy has been flirting with the red all evening; he elbowed Mascherano in the face just a few minutes before being sent off.

Villarreal the far better side so far, to be honest. Great save from Asenjo to deny Messi just now, though.

Fucking hell, hope Gomis is allright.

Villarreal get one back. Need two more to equalize the tie.

How does a club go from having 2000000000 leftbacks to playing Ryan Taylor? What happened here?

Suárez protesting ref decisions is making me sweat.

Well, that's a pretty quick way to kill the tie. Sub Suárez off now

Villarreal-Barça starting. Lucho going all in with a pretty strong team. I'm not sure we should risk Suárez in the starting XI - he's one yellow away from being suspended for a hypothetical final. DON'T fuck this up.

Fucking hell, I'm starting to think that whenever Carver hears Robson's spirit advising him it's actually Pardew with one of these:

Aye, it means the exact opposite of what he implies

Wat.
