There isn’t a whole lot of cheering by the “barbers” today…

Sevilla went and beat Valencia last week and I thought they were back on track.  I even went on and on about how they could capitalize on their schedule and get back into the hunt.  So, what did they do this weekend?

Lose to Zaragoza. 

Now, I know that anybody can beat anybody on any given day, but I think it’s pretty unreasonable for Sevilla (a team that has won the Spanish title recently) to be losing to teams that face relegation like Zaragoza does.  Read more... (361 words, 4 images, estimated 1:27 mins reading time)

Sevilla hosted Getafe in the semi-final leg of the Copa del Rey on February 3rd and the powerhouse club that struggled in early January regained their form and took a 2-0 lead over the surprising seventh place squad in the two match aggregate score.  The second leg is set to played on the 10th and will be hosted by Getafe.  Read more...

Fernando Gago has been one of those guys for Real Madrid that was affected by the big signings the club made this summer and the defensive midfielder, who had a plus ten assist season three years ago, was keen to move to a new club this transfer window.  Manchester City seemed like the perfect fit where the Argentine could split some minutes with newly signed French midfielder Patrick Vieira.  But the move over to Manchester will have to wait until this summer because of alleged unprepared contract offers on Manchester City’s side of the deal prior to the closing of the transfer window.   Read more...

Cesc Fabregas is one of the hottest young players in the world of football.  The midfielder is the focal point to Arsenal’s offense this season and the Spanish national team star is also on pace to win the honor of Most Valuable Player for his top four club.  And with all the injuries Arsenal has endured this season up top, it has been Fabregas who has stepped up and been the offensive leader of nearly every statistic.  And when you are as good as Fabregas is then rival clubs in other leagues take notice.   Read more...

Barcelona-Getafe

Barcelona has expressed their desire to score even more recently and against a suspect Getafe defense they will be granted a chance.  Getafe does have a great offense though so expect this one to end up being a shoot out.  The match also contain s many of the best goal scorers this season including Messi, Ibs, and Roberto Soldado of Getafe.  Barcelona is still perfect though, so I obviously will not bet against them.

Final Prediction: Barca 3-1

1) Carles Puyol- Barcelona

Puyol is the heart of Barca’s defense which doesn’t get they type of attention that Messi and Ibrahimovic bring to the offense, but this is a defensive unit that is just as impressive all together.  In fact on the entire first half of the year the Barca defense has only allowed ten goals.  That is a near 0.50 average per game.  And Puyol is the man in the middle that sets the tone for the rest of the back line.  An impressive player that just might be in his prime.  Read more...

In the words of the famous musical artist and poet, Ludicrous, Cristiano Ronaldo was caught throwing “them bows” on the pitch a few weeks back.  And the star Real Madrid player has made it very well known that he was not pleased with the two match ban that he received following the red carded incident against Malaga in the 70th minute.  In fact Mr. Ronaldo has made it a little bit too clear how he feels regarding the incident.  Read more...

1) Lionel Messi- Barcelona

Any list that Messi can be on, he will likely be on the top of.  And assists is no exception to the rule.  Barcelona has the most potent offense of any club in the entire world and Lionel Messi is a big part of the reason why.  The Argentine forward can pass the ball, shoot the ball, and dribble the ball.  And did I mention he can score.  Right now Messi is tied for a joint-lead in assists with seven.

Ahhh, the banner flies a little higher today…

Valencia took a stumble against Sevilla on Sunday in the match that I said would be their hardest in this long stretch.  There’s only one problem…they’d already given away another match so now things have gotten harder for Valencia.

Sevilla pushed and prodded their way to a 2-1 victory and pulled themselves within 3 points of Valencia on the Premier Division table.  The unfortunate reality is that Valencia is still 13 points behind Barca and 8 points behind Real Madrid.  Read more...
