La Liga Thread 2011/12

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Barca to win La Liga.

Plus the CL.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Newcastle’s Senegal striker has bagged 13 goals in 13 games since his £10million move from Freiburg in January.

But the 26-year-old Toon hero confessed he would love to join the Spanish giants one day.

Cisse said: “My long-term aim is to play for the biggest clubs and I want to win the Champions League. I have loved Real Madrid ever since I was a little boy.

“But I am happy for now at Newcastle. They are a big club — even though they are not a Manchester United or Manchester City.”

Another **** whoring for a move.

These players earn more than ever before, you'd think it wouldn't matter where they end up because they'll get a fortune anyway. £50K a week is chicken feed now. It's a joke. They should all be put on a £50 per week wage cap and all the money left over should be channelled to a secret UEFA account with 10% skimmed off the top by Harry Redknapp.

I read that he's considering legal action against whoever published those "quotes"

Did he have some arrangement that said the quotes couldn't be published? That's a bit odd when you are whoring for a move because who will know about the product if the advert doesn't make it into the papers?

Well I'm assuming things were taken out of context/fabricated if legal action is being considered, though I doubt it genuinely is.

They definitely would've been translated quotes because Cisse's English is even passable at the moment. It doesn't really matter though, as it's the 'dream' of most non-English players to play for Real Madrid, no reason to suggest he wouldn't think the same.

All sorts of these stories on web etc, whos to know whats true and whats not. Im guessing their is some truth in this though.

Saturday, 12 May 2012
Real Sociedad v Valencia, 19:00
Real Betis v Barcelona, 21:00

Sunday, 13 May 2012
Espanyol v Sevilla, 19:00
Getafe v Real Zaragoza, 19:00
Levante v Athletic Bilbao, 19:00
Malaga v Sporting Gijon, 19:00
Racing Santander v Osasuna, 19:00
Rayo Vallecano v Granada, 19:00
Real Madrid v Mallorca, 19:00
Villarreal v Atletico Madrid, 19:00

--------------------------------------------------

As it stands:



Levante can still finish fourth but Real Mallorca cannot due to the head-to-head rule. Many permutations for Europa League qualifiying it's probably best not to type it all out now.

Survival Sunday is between five teams (although Sporting are pretty much out of it). Villarreal vs Atleti is probably the biggest game of the weekend, then Rayo vs Granada.

Real Sociedad 1-0 Valencia, Griezmann with the goal. FT.

Barca: Valdes, Adriano, Pique, Mascherano, Dani Alves, Busquets, Xavi, Keita, Pedro, Messi, Afellay.

Cesc left out of a dead rubber yet again.
