La Liga Thread 2011/12

Levante are top currently after beating Betis 0-1. Though you can't see them staying there, it's an amazing turnaround (looking at last season too) for a team who nearly went on strike against Real Madrid due to financial difficulties.

Also, Sporting 0-0 Barca currently.

Valdés, Dani Alves, Mascherano, Abidal, Xavi, Busquets, Thiago, Adriano, Pedro, David Villa, Messi.

Xavi smacks the post, the rebound comes to Adriano who puts it in to make it 0-1 to Barca. Deflected though I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Messi's passing is on a ridiculous level now. Just realised this is the second game in a row Cesc hasn't started, either Cesc's 'anarchic' nature isn't what Guardiola wants from away games or more likely, he's injured.

[Marc Overmars]

Come back Cesc, all is forgiven.

Cheeky loan bid?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Would be pretty audacious tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Villa is worse than Ade for straying offside. Messi plays a throughball taking four players out of the game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nacho Cases gives Busquets a good kicking. And booked for it.

[Cripps_orig]

Cesc has a hamstring injury and will be out for a few weeks

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Those hamstrings.

They're toast.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 half time.
