Village Idiot

Chuffed that Juanma Lillo seems to be having a good start to his tenure at Almería. His Salamanca side was great to watch but he has quite not achieved success ever since. Also chuffed to see the scum losing again, they will be a bit like Sunderland though, they are shit but the bottom is even shittier so they won't get relegated.

I don't think he's great (not a bad player mind), but given the hardships Spurs have had in front of goal lately, I wonder why he hasn't been given a run.

Pennant gave today what I thought was his first assist of the season, but apparently it was the second... I had him on watch so wonder when was this first one I missed.

Sold Kaboul to Spurs too.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11945_5959632,00.html Big blow, but probably warranted given how much Scottish football has declined this decade. Now it will be interesting to see what happens with the Old Firm, since they won't have guaranteed CL money every season anymore.

I didn't know this. For real?

Anal sex? Nein. Genocide? Bratwurst?

Can't wait for him to manage in the prem, it's going to be so entertaining.

I will give this to Zokora, he just won't stop running.

Jesus, Aouate making me look bad again. Good strike by Dragutinovic though. 1-2 to Sevilla.

Teixeira Vitienes is the same ref that sent off Piqué and Márquez two weeks ago. Need to see if I can find his card stats somewhere...

Cesc will surely start more than one game at the world cup, and he'll be first choice by the time of the next EC. Man, can't believe all of a sudden we have so many world class players from midfield onwards. I'm watching Mallorca - Sevilla and thinking that Valero is having a very good season too and in years past he would surely be in the running for the squad. Yet he has not a chance.

In Spain tackles from behind are almost always a red. Although there wasn't that much contact here. I call orange card. I love La Liga but it's like a non-contact sport at times. They've even stopped Zlatan from doing his karate passes Ah yes, he's got a couple yellows for those. Pity since they are awesome.

Massive mistake there. Mine or Sevilla's? The gk. Handed Sevilla a goal. Ah yes, I probably jinxed him. Still Mallorca's best performer this season (Valero has been brilliant too)

Incidentally, the Spanish commentator has just mentioned Tsartas, former Sevilla's #10 in the mid-late 90s. Man, that guy was immense. Such a shot and a cultured left foot. They'd kill for having someone like him in their team nowadays.

Jímenez again with some puzzling selection policies with Luís Fabiano and Perotti on the bench (although Capel was good against Osasuna), and a silky midfield made up by Zokora and uber-donkey Aldo Düscher. To be honest Sevilla are the better side, but were shambolic at the back for Mallorca's goal. And remove Aouate from goal and Mallorca would have 10 less points at the very least. He's immense this season.

There are some true donkeys in that list, like

Thiago gets his first senior goal. 4-0, which looks like a decent scoreline after going to sleep during the second half. If he ends up being as good as his dad, he will be a cool player to have.

Xisco's so thick, if he hadn't touched the ball if would have been a goal surely

Henry bags one from a FK after some woeful wall formation. Will do wonders for his confidence since he's been under fire this week. 2-0

Well, Iniesta put us one up after some shaky Racing defending.

Xisco starting against us tonight, it will be funny/will piss me off if he scores.

You got a game in hand over them plus they have to come to SJP. It's in your hands really.
