More from Getafe? Stop wumming IOAG

What is with the kick-off times!

I've been telling everyone that Pellegrini will show he's a better manager than Jose now he is at a team capable of competing (sorry Villarreal ) and is allowed to do his job.

The guy who sets La Liga kickoff times is an undercover PL agent.

If Arsenal even think about bidding less than £20m for Casillas then they should cease to exist as a club.

AS reporting X alonso has done a metatarsal in his foot during training

Anyone give Atletico a chance tonight?

"Cease to exist"
WTF? What kind of fan says that about his club?

Alonso 3 months out, but you don't have to worry, Madrid's bench is imo with City's the most qualititive.

Honestly, tongue in cheek or not, thats the last thing a fan should say about his club ffs!

Alonso.

Happy for Sociedad yesterday.. Griezmann is quite the talent isn't he, glad they're doing well.

Also decentish points for me in the Predo League this weekend. Looks a slightly more straightforward week to me but hey ho! Shocks will happen. Not to Barca, but Madrid were a tad shaky on the weekend

Bit nervous for our match tonight, going back to the scene of the eviscerating we got at Chelsea last season.... however we've matured a lot since then and hopefully we won't concede 8 this time, or at least if we do we score 9 in return.

I think Villa are capable giving a tough match to Chelsea, will probably finish with a goal difference

Found ya's was wondering where you'd all got too .

Cheers CroCop. I'm hoping Benteke is far better than against Arsenal. He had a very quiet game despite aerially winning nearly everything sent in his direction.

If our front three are firing and our back 4 resolute we can even somehow snatch a draw. Expecting us to be beaten comfortably though.

And hello Hammy! Long time no see

Hammy!

Haven't you noticed? Understudy's back from his voyage through the wilderness!



If Real Madrid break the world transfer record for Bale, they should cease to exist as a club. I'm that kind of fan.

Talking about the predos league, we never really go into talking about fine-tuning the system to make it a bit more challenging.

One of the possibilities that crossed my mind was to award fewer points for a RM or Barça win and more for upsets against the two.

Another possibility might be to award them regular no. of points, but only if you predict the winning margin. i.e., when you make the weekly predictions and go for a RM/FCB win, then you have to add +1, +2, +3 etc.

Taking last weekend for example, you'd only have collected the points if you'd written
Madrid-Betis HOME +1
or
Barcelona-Levante HOME +7

A win for their opponents could be worth additional points, say 8 points for example, and a draw would be worth a bit more but not so many, e.g. 6

Whaddy'all think? Too complicated?

Once again I reckon Villa have a chance tonight, not as much as the weekend but if Benteke is in good form and the team is resolute even a win might be possible IMO.

A question for any PL fans here:

Which PL clubs do you think would be most interested in reinforcing their LB position?

Could be Everton if they lose Baines, or maybe Newcastle.

In all honesty, Spurs (though Coentrao..) Sunderland and Fulham. Can see United or Everton or Newcastle perhaps needing one soon.

I don't think we've really got a hope tonight AU but it's in Lambert's ethos to go to win everything and that teams need to beat us.... think about 3-1 to Chelsea

Luna scores his second in two games!
