9th - 10th September 2006

Barça 3 - Osasuna 0 (Eto'o -2-, Messi)
Atletico de Madrid 0 - Valencia 1 (David Villa)

Saw the first half of the Atletico - Valencia game. Great goal, but the rest of the first half was pretty boring. Anything good happen in the 2nd half?

Sorry i missed Barca's match though. Eto'o must have been on fire! Scored twice and created the third!

I didn't watch first half of Atletico - Valencia, second half was not incredible but Atletico had some chances to score.

Levante 1 - Real Madrid 4 (Ettien / RVN -3-, Cassano)
Betis 3 - Bilbao 0 (Juanito, Edu, Capi)
Real Sociedad 1 - Sevilla 3 (Díaz de Cerio / Renato, Kanoute -2-)
Mallorca 0 - Deportivo de la Coruña 0
Villarreal 0 - Recreativo Huelva 1 (Cazorla)
Getafe 1 - Santander 0 (Guiza)
Nàstic Tarragona 1 - Celta Vigo 2 (Portillo / Baiano, Nene)

Zaragoza 3 - Espanyol 0 (Aimar, Diego Milito, Oscar)

Wow! A hat-trick for RVN, even though he missed a penalty! I still can't believe Ferguson managed to alienate and push away such a great striker. Managing people doesn't really seem to be his forte.

He has made a career out of his man management.

Real Sociedad 1 - Sevilla 3 (Díaz de Cerio / Renato, Kanoute, Dragutinovic)

I read that Kanoute scored twice then the information that I read was wrong

Maybe we shouldn't derail this thread, but although i agree he's been good at keeping some talented players at the club i'd also say he's managed to drive away a few as well (see Beckham, RVN, Stam etc). In all occasions those players left as a result of tension between them and their coach.

Maybe i should rephrase my statement to "managing people doesn't really seem to be his forte anymore".

How did Ruud play? do you think he will be a hit

haha tarragona is where i have family from

So Barca and Sevilla on top and Real several points behind... Has Barcelona played the match they missed for the Club World Cup?

Every team has played 20 games mate, Barca one clear of Sevilla, 4 of Madrid

But the isn't best La Liga ever isn't it? I mean Real is struggling and is only four points below Barcelona

im just enjoying seeing Sevilla do so well and more than competing with Real and Barca , they were stunning in the uefa cup last year and fully deserve the season they are having.

yeeeeah, the first goal and assist for Alexandr Kerzhakov! Nice result for our outstanding player!

Real Betis 0 - 0 Sevilla.

Real Sociedad 1 - 2 Real Madrid (Beckham scored one of the goals).

Beckham still plays??

I thought he went in America!

Not for a while yet. Still finishing out this season at Real.

Amazing. He's back, he plays in the former team and he scores and still is the best of the match. Go Becks! Capello and the president may help you but the real supporters will always be with you!!

PS. Another boring match of Real Madrid Even Casillas, who is always one of the few who does right his work, had an important mistake.
