I heard refs are obviously pushing Atletico this year more then anybody else in la liga, any truth in that?
La Liga - 2012/2013
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
From the BBC so using UK times:
Saturday, 10 November 2012
Rayo Vallecano v Celta de Vigo, 15:00
Espanyol v Osasuna, 17:00
Real Zaragoza v Deportivo La Coruna, 19:00
Malaga v Real Sociedad, 21:00
Sunday, 11 November 2012
Valladolid v Valencia, 11:00
Athletic Bilbao v Sevilla, 15:00
Mallorca v Barcelona, 16:50
Atletico Madrid v Getafe, 18:45
Levante v Real Madrid, 20:30
Nothing really stands out though Athletic - Sevilla could be interesting. Athletic are having a poor season and need to start perking up soon.
Madrid go to Levante, where they lost last year. Benzema, Higuain, Marcelo, Khedira are all out.

Jose hasnt taken three points both times visiting Levante correct? Wonder if we'll see Ronaldo as a CF?
The champions league definitely having a negative effect on Malaga this season. They have lost at home to Real Sociedad. Good result for Atletico that, as was the Betis defeat last night. They now have the chance to go 9 clear of the team in 4th with a win tomorrow.
Most likely. Both Higuain and Benzema are dealing with injuries.
Looked much better there against Dortmund than on the wing. Couldn't be marked or as easily pressured. Has got loads of through balls in him.
I feel like Callejon is being underused. Currently he's just a supersub.
Barca led 3-0 at HT. 3-2 now against Mallorca.
Only giving them false hope.

Just tuned in to see Mallorca score the 2-3. Get at least one more please!
Thought they were gonna bend over like they did a couple of weeks ago.
It's astonishing how easy Barcelona give goals away..
It's also no wonder with the "defence" that they use, it's always going to cost them goals. Don't have a clue why they signed Song and Mascherano is quite an average centre back when played there.
Come'on Mallorca!
feck me, what a finish by Messi
Messi with a hell of a goal
messi surpases pele
mbuahahaha. cal must be dying now
mbuahahaha. cal must be dying now
Missed it. Damn
What a setup by Sanchez too.
I hate Barca's kits. Ugly. Stick with the blue and red.

9 more to equal Gerd Muller the commentator was saying
cal:
Mallorca's lack of defensive hunger is even worse.
Playing Barcelona depresses the appetite.
That could have been a penalty for Sanchez.
No wonder with those awful kits...
The pressure is on again, 3 points absolutely needed tonight.
seriously! that's the shitiest shirt ever
levante will be no problem for real
Barcelona's start surely one of the best ever? 10 wins from 11.
It's a league wide epidemic.
Speaking of Mallorca, I thought they were cash rich like City.
I hope so mate, we have a few players out though, I think Callejon starts tonight.
How are we supposed to reduce the 8 point gap like that? They don't drop a fecking point.
Edit - Boom 10000th post, what a sad bastard I am.

Yep, it's a bit concerning. I don't even think they are playing at their best yet either, especially in defence where they are conceding plenty.
It will be piss easy for Madrid, believe me.. The only question is: How many goals will Ronaldo score?
Atlético - Getafe time.
Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Filipe, Mario, Gabi, Arda, Raul Garcia, Adrian, Falcao
Courtois, Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Filipe, Mario, Gabi, Arda, Raul Garcia, Adrian, Falcao
That's the worrying part! It really is a shit balanced league.
The past encounters don't fill me with confidence though.
It's Barcelona's all time best Liga start.
Mourinho's record at Levante is 1 point out of 6.
Levante's still doing amazingly well for a club with no money. 6th in La Liga and a good chance of qualifying in their Europa League group. They've increased their number of season ticket holders, by cutting their prices - less ticket revenue than last year, but at least they're staying alive and keeping their fans happy. They're paying back their debts as well - tough times in La Liga, but you've got to admire their fight.
Madrid tonight: Casillas; Arbeloa, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Coentrao; Xabi Alonso, Essien; Di María, Özil, Callejón; Cristiano

Levante hardly give any space away behind their defence, so I'm not really sure Cristiano will be able to do that much from open play if he plays centre-forward. He thrives on space and in his usual wing forward role he has that. Should be interesting without Benzema or Higuain.
@jojojo: Mourinho's RM is due a goal at Levante, most likely

Belting down in Valencia - Levante's pitch is like a marsh
Holy feck that pitch is a mess, how can they allow play here? It's a fecking swimming pool.
fecking hell Ronaldo all bloodied up already.
Ronaldo's going to be wearing dark glasses for a few days.
Ouch.
Ouch.
This is going to be called off.
