All the players that had extended holidays got benched today, due to having less training sessions. I hope they come out after the break we're, well, not too good. How's Luis Enrique being judged so far?

Loved him when he was at Racing Santander Yea went to Madrid and lost his way but he's looking like his old self tonight. (not that he's old)

Canales looking good again.

Wish they wouldn't celebrate like they've won the league though. Inferiority complex is strong. Nah, they have a long story these two. Particularly after a few controversial Madrid wins at Mestalla these past years. I bet you're happy though What does the future hold for Valencia now Lim is in control VI? Well, he's splashed the cash a bit (although with a 3rd party ownership formula, so Valencia doesn't wholly own the players), and Valencia are resurgent. They are favorites for 4th place to me, and with stabilisation they should be able to push on. Third party ownership. Who owns these players then? I'm assuming it isn't Lim? The New York Times reckons fifa will ban 3rd party ownership btw. Lim does, through an investment fund. There's talk he will just transfer the players to Valencia if the ban goes through. Why would he do that VI? Looks like I'll have to Google and hope to find an English source sounds very interesting. Mendes is involved, so all bets are off. One explanation is that he wanted to protect himself given the very protracted negotiations with Valencia's creditors. Thanks for the insight as always

Virtually rules out all of the proposed British names, does it not? As a nation we still struggle with the concept of a manager having no say whatsoever on the players he has to work with. It's also viewed as a bad thing as well which I find laughable really. It's the logical way to work IMO, it gives you the best chance of stability. Spending millions building a squad around a manager that will only be in the job for a few years, then having to rebuild again, is really quite silly. It's not just seen as bad either, alot of people(and the media) are repulsed by the idea. I'm not so sure, after all if the transfers brought in are total s*** it ain't the director of football or whatever who loses his job its the manager burdened with those players he had 0 say on (see Spurs last season in particular, AVB gets the sack for the failure to spend the Bale money right while the guy who bought all those players is still there). Personally I think the manager should have a say in who goes in and out to just ignore him as Ashley will isn't a good way to run things at all. Manager should of course get an input I don't think anyone would disagree with that. What I'm referencing is managers bringing in their own players who they've worked with everywhere without a thought for the long term.

Only Spain - http://thespanishfootballpodcast.libsyn.com/ - doesn't listen to it regularly mind. Cheers mate

Off topic but is their any good European football podcasts?

Suffering Jimmy Bullard when you could be watching Valencia vs Real.

Valencia have equalised.

Yup, they milk it too I think Real have been canny letting Valencia and the crowd wind themselves up and rack up the bookings.

Atmosphere at the Mestella seems fantastic.

Held his nerve as well. Valencias keep having some bantz

It's great to see Valencia invest in the team again. I hope Lim is in this for the long term.

Thank f*** for that, sick of the f***ing cup. You will be even happier when you see the Madrid midfield

Valencia vs real on now

Worryingly meets the criteria though doesn't he? From the souf English Big in the 90s Total cunt

Given the start they should score double figures. Dover look totally shit.
