Looks like the guy that edits the El Mundo Deportivo website got a bit carried away... http://img159.imageshack.us/img159/3500/mundod.jpg (they have corrected it now)

Athletic's forward Muniain became today the youngest player ever to score in La Liga with 16 years and 289 days. His goal was also worth a point for Bilbao

Well... it's not going to be easy for us to win on that stadium either. But it's a game where they could reasonably drop points, and they did. Now we have to do the business against Valencia, but I'll enjoy the international break

Five draws, surely a record amongst the top leagues.

I know we are beating a dead horse at this point but... Milan 0-0 at home against Bari

Van der Vart coming in... I think that's the first time he takes the pitch this season.

He's great, should be automatic first choice really.

Benzema out and Higuaín coming in... Benzema looking not worth all that money so far. He should had taken off Raúl though. That guy's status at Real is mindnumbing, no manager has dared to bench him. EDIT: I wonder if he still has that clause where he has always to be the highest paid player in the squad.

God, I hate Casillas, and he isn't even a twat like Cronaldo to justify it.

How's Eto'o looking so far, now that he's got some more games under his belt? Always feared that Serie A defences play too deep to exploit his pace.

Need to look up "It's a f***ing disgrace" in Norwegian.

Well, I never count Real out of anything. But Cronaldo's been big for them and looks like they are missing him a lot today. I'm not watching the game in full but Kaká seems to be playing on the right? Seems a bit wasted to me, particularly if you're playing Raúl on the hole... heck, how Raúl keeps Higuaín in the bench is something I'll never understand. Guti's a clogger too. Benzema's hasn't done anything to impress me yet. EDIT: Casillas as usual showing he's the best keeper in the planet

You put money on them? Against one of the most in form sides in La Liga and with Cronaldo out?

Like Inter played at San Siro against us, you mean? We were pretty complacent against Almería, hopefully Guardiola will give them a good bollocking. And play Touré instead of Busquets. We look so much better with Touré in the side.

Atlético's 3rd or 4th choice keeper stops a penalty to keep his side up 1-0. Fantastic stuff for the lad.

FT Barça 1 - Almería 0 Pretty awful from us, but we still won. So well.

0 shots on goal. They have had a couple decent chances though.

A bit frustrating from Barça at the moment. We pass it and pass it but we are rather ineffectual in the last third. Almería are defending pretty well, though.

Great goal by Pedro, the lad is really impressing me (never rated him that much). 1-0 up for us.

I don't really care that much apart from my FF interests, but whatever makes less likely for either ManU or Chelsea to win the EPL *again*, I'm fine with.

Xavi and Iniesta to start their first game together since the CL final. Henry's still out with a knock.

I'm an oldschool Barça fan, which means I'm pessimistic by nature and always fearing for an equalizer even when 3-0 up. But we should smack them.

Scholes picks a yellow for a stupid midfield tackle
