That's Juanma Lillo for you, his sides are quite suicidal. He's relegated quite a few, but when it works it's massively entertaining.

Juanma Lillo Get in Almería.

Negredo sent off for reportedly saying "I s*** in your f***ing mother" to the linesman

Almería equalise just before HT, as of now Mallorca are in the CL.

Last day La Liga Rivaldo's Hat trick v Valencia possibly the best hat trick i've seen Oh yes. And it was an important one. Rivaldo was such a great player... our lack of success in Europe during that time probably prevented him of getting the recognition he deserves, imho.

would that be to replace barca bound David Villa? Aye, that's the rumor. Decent business for Valencia. Soldado would be as good a replacement as they could get, and they need the money. Soldado's also a local boy.

Water bottle, missed by a few feet.

I'm always nervous. I have lived through enough last week upsets (both for and against us) to not say it's over until it's over. Valladolid are shit, but Clemente has lifted them since he took over and he's king of the 10-men behind ball business. I still have nightmares of the "Jai Alai" Bilbao defences of the 1980s.

http://estaticos01.marca.com/imagenes/2010/05/15/futbol/equipos/real_madrid/1273952207_0.jpg Looks like Málaga fans haven't forgotten the Mitiliga-Cronaldo incident. Cuntish behavior to do that, though.

Almería - Sevilla and Mallorca - Espanyol both on, with the 4th CL spot in play. Sevilla only need to match Mallorca's result.

No idea what he's on at the beeb but even so, he shouldn't really be in it for the money. Especially when he's already made so much and he's wanting to get into management anyway. We'll have to wait and see, I'd like to see him back in management somewhere soon and I certainly cant see a prem club willing to pay him big wages taking him on so if he wants to get back into the game, he's going to have to take a pay cut somewhere down the line. This. He probably will always have a job in punditry if he wants it, but if he's serious about becoming a manager he'll need to make some sacrifices (he'll still earn more than almost anybody in this board, I'm sure).

Cazorla's been great. Clearly wants to make things difficult for Del Bosque (still think he will be cut).

Soldado scores his 16th goal of the season in 24 games. Remember, €10m buyout clause. Rumor is that he's Valencia-bound but whoever snatches him will have a starting striker for years.

Just had a look at his wiki that says he's only 32. Seems no age to retire, has he had bad injury problems? Burnout I think. He peaked very soon, was playing 30+ games a season when he was 17.

I think he looked fine too. 7-9m is daft money though.

And predictably Atlético goes 1 down via Soldado's 15th goal of the season. Atlético are playing their B team keeper

Doesn't look likea Bilbao youth product at all. Small, quick and skilfull. Javi Martínez is going to be great too.

Etxeberría just been subbed off at San Mamés amidst a standing ovation. He's retiring and has been playing this season for free as a last gift to the club. Legend.

That is true. Manuel's character looks more Mexican than Spanish to a Spanish audience. To be honest the character's pretty racist but I love him all the same

Juventus seems to be linked with a million players lately. Today's a swap deal Reyes-Diego.

In theory, yes, but Valencia are playing for nothing and Tenerife are playing for their life. Valencia were already pretty poor last week after they clinched 3rd. Still would favor them, but one of those games I just avoid when betting.

Kids. Kun, Forlán and Simao not even in the squad.

Such a shame, European competition regardless though will be good. Barca 1/25 tomorrow. The matter has some meat in it... Athletic are the ones asking the court for the club to be placed in administration, since they are creditors from the sale of Aduriz. Thing is, if Mallorca were ineligible for European competition due to this, Bilbao and Villarreal would be the teams in contention for their spot.

It's pretty much a done deal that Mallorca will enter administration after the season ends, which could jeopardise their EL/CL qualification.

Village Idiot isn't Mexican, he'd have gone home for his 4hr siesta after starting work at 2 and finishing at 7 including said siesta.
