Roura pretty much confirmed this will be his last game as caretaker manager. Tito's coming back next week.

14 bookings in that game, bloody hell. Is Juan Ignacio Martínez likely to get a move 'up' soon do you reckon? Depends on what is considered a move "up". Most of the usual outsiders (Atlético/Sevilla/Valencia/Málaga) just switched managers or have pretty safe ones. Just a higher profile club really, one where he'd not have to penny pinch to such a degree but that isn't such an exhaustive list in Spain these days. Levante indeed don't have a pot to piss on, but most clubs outside the usual suspects are in the same position nowadays. Think he'd be a great fit for Betis, but Mel is doing wonderfully well there.

Acquafresca with his first goal tonight. He'll freshen things up for Levante upfront, imho.

Yeah. They have appealed to the CAS, but chances are it will be tossed out. It will go to the team below.

Aye, Rayo are immensely watchable. And they never change their style whoever they face, which results in the odd pasting from the big sides. But they are pretty comfortable this season, with an outside chance of Europe.

Tamudo vs Barça is like Ameobi vs Sunderland. Always does it.

Alves' hair man, he wants slapping so hard.

Yeah, it's so Romario-esque too. Love it.

Alexis' passing game is mint. Wish he didn't fall to pieces inside the box.

That's what managers say every time tbf. "There was no intent". "He's not that kind of player".

A few seasons ago we finished sixth man. SIXTH!!!! But yeah, I'm thinking of having children just to be able to tell them I saw this lot live.

2-0. If Messi scores next week against Celta he'll have scored against every single La Liga team consecutively.

Love how Spanish media keep calling Sneijder a "veteran" despite only being 28. Suppose they just assume he's old because he plays in Turkey.

Pinto, Adriano, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba, Busquets, Cesc, Iniesta, Messi, Villa, Alexis Strong lineup against Rayo. Should be an entertaining game; Rayo are very positive. Too positive for their own good, I'd add.

Cartilage damage is the deal-breaker. Bones heal, cartilage doesn't. Torres became s*** after losing cartilage tissue in his knee. Pretty sure it was ankle cartilage problems what ultimately forced Dean Ashton's retirement too. Anyway, just speculation.

Is it me or are there more other club fans in that thread than Wigan fans? Hope the injury isn't too bad. The fact he wasn't sent straight to the hospital seems to discard a break.

Hope that Barrow and Carver go all No-DQ, Falls Count Anywhere on Wigan's stands.

I hate when people say this kind of stuff. Nothing unfortunate in this, the Wigan player was just a reckless cunt. You shouldn't go for the ball with the studs at knee level, end of.

Somehow I'm hoping that this ends in a bout of fisticuffs. After you win, of course.

Aye, he'd be risking a season-ending injury. Wait---

In times like this I'm glad we play in pansy La Liga where you get a yellow for looking angrily at an opposition player.

It's the Wigan last stretch of the season curse. They'll be in god mode until they stave off relegation.
