"Gary go home!" - love it!

ANOTHER penalty missed by Barcelona!

 

[The Iron]

Yep and another one missed by Messi. I think i posted something about Messi's record at pens on here a few months ago, but i can't be bothered to look back and find it. I'm pretty sure it was a poor record though for someone of his class.

La Liga is beyond a joke this season, the redistribution of wealth cannot come fast enough. Every week Madrid or Barcelona are putting at least five past what should be decent sides. And this is a Barcelona side with an eye on the Champions League...

He probably could've had another 30 goals had he converted all his penalty misses!

Just saw the highlights, Messi must've had four assists today also. Some guy.

Sevilla- Villarreal

Central match of 29th game week of Spanish Primera Division will be Sevilla- Villarreal match. Sevilla’s players will try to beat their opponents at home and to approach to 4th league place. Bookies consider that the hosts will be obvious favorites on corners. But will be this true? Let’s find out.

First of all, look at Sevilla’s corners stats. The team plays not bad – they won 8 of 14 matches on corners. The team has one of the best corners difference indicator, even ahead of Barcelona. Sevilla goes second on home taken corners after Real Madrid (should be admitted that Real Madrid supervised one more match). Sevilla takes on average 7.29 corners and let opponents take 4.71 corners a game.

Villarreal looks awfully on away taken corners: there were 1 win and 10 defeats. The team is in the third place from the end of the table on corners which they allow to take opponents – the hosts of the field. Worse than Villarreal are only Valencia and Malaga. Should admit that in last 4 of 6 away games Villarreal’s encounters took 9 or more corners and Villarreal’s team could only once take more than 3 corners. Average results on corners are slightly better at away: Villarreal took on average 4 corners, on the other hand, their encounters took 7.31 corners per game.

Let’s look at handicap on corners. Handicap -3 on Sevilla estimates 1.8 odds at Bet365.

Villarreal has the worst indicator among all Primera teams on corners difference at away. Their opponents take on average 3.31 corners more than Villarreal. Valencia and Eibar are similar to Villarreal on this indicator. If you look at how Sevilla played with these opponents than you will see that this handicap was confidently covered (lately in Sevilla-Eibar match Sevilla took on 6 more corners and in Valencia match the benefit was enormous 17-0)

So, in my opinion, bet on minus handicap is quite reasonable.

37 games unbeaten for Barca in all competitions and an incredible 15 pts ahead of Real Madrid. Their goal difference isn't bad either at +62

What a team!!!

 

[The Iron]

Valencia get beat again, this time to the team at the bottom of the league.

3 wins in 15 league games for Neville

[Stevencc]

Will his "friends with privileges relationship" with the owner see him keep his job until the end of the season or will the hammer fall sooner than that if this level of performance continues?

 

[mistermagic]

I've started listening to a decent podcast on spanish football (@tsf_podcast) which taught me that Neville's contract is up in the summer. Strange appointment by Valencia really.

 

[Stevencc]

Gijon 2-1 Atletico.

 

[SALTIRE]

The league is over.

 

[Stevencc]

It certainly looks that way.

That just gives Atletico all the more to fight for in the CL match I suppose, it could be a goodun.

 

[Stevencc]

Barca actually scored a penalty!

 

[Bobbin']

That they should never have been awarded

 

[Stevencc]

I wasn't watching it but that doesn't surprise me much!

 

[Bobbin']

Horrendous refereeing, the keeper clearly took the ball but the penalty was given and keeper booked

An effigy of Gary Neville getting burned for Easter in Valencia. They don't like him much do they!

[JimJams]

That's not the Neville effigy. His took far less effort.

That's not the Neville effigy. His took far less effort.

The way it was reported on AS it made it look like it was.

 

[AtaturkOzgutson]

That's Rajoy, Spain's Prime Minister (well, ish)

 

[G-Dragon]

Gary Neville Sacked.

 

[SALTIRE]

Aye been punted, great stuff.

 

[JimJams]

Garde in?

(Day/Jar/Vue cinema)

 

[Stevencc]

Gary Neville has been invited back to Sky Sports to carry on where he left off.

Carragher to Valencia?

 

[Benji]

El Clasico is quiet so far. Couple of fouls and Bale is on long throw duty, but little else to discuss.

 

[SALTIRE]

Of all the people to score and wind up the Madridistas further, it had to be Pique!

 

[Benji]

Great transitional play from Bale. Defence to attack, good finish from Benzema.
