Jimenez has the magic 8 ball he uses to pick the team so who knows who will play.

The day after Spurs played Sevilla in the Uefa Cup I had a walk around the city (more like a hobble after the previous night's hammering from the police ) and ended up in a bar near Sevilla's ground. I got talking to a barman about the derby, he said they usually have absolute mayhem when the derby is on, fans watch the game in the pub and kick lumps out of each other!

Oliveira back at Betis, can see him scoring if he debuts

eZe^

Juande Ramos getting knocked out by a bottle thrown by Betis supporters. It's a crazy derby alright.

Filled with cement too wasn't it?

Big one of these fellas I think.

Just watching the Real game at the moment and the people who are saying Robben is better than Messi. Please brother ! He doesnt even run him close in fairness.

dreamers75

Nice finish by Higuian. 1-0 Madrid

redout

Sevilla lineup:
PALOP; MOSQUERA, SQUILLACI, ESCUDÉ, FERNANDO NAVARRO; DUSCHER, ROMARIC; JESÚS NAVAS, CAPEL; ACOSTA, KANOUTÉ

Real Betis lineup:
RICARDO; NELSON, JUANITO, MELLI, FERNANDO VEGA; ARZU, MEHMET AURELIO; SERGIO GARCÍA, EMANÁ, MARK GONZÁLEZ; OLIVEIRA

Sky said Betis had 850 tickets for tonight's game. I wonder is that all they're given.

dreamers75

scrappy game.


damn whoever said Olivera to score, reckon he will

redout

1 - 0

Betis

Sergio Garcia

Mis-kick !


2 - 0

Oliveira

This is a bad result for the league I reckon. Sevilla's loss means both Real and Barca are in two seperate leagues from the rest now. Notice I said two seperate leagues as Real obviously arent in Barca's neither.


2 - 1

Kanoute but I reckon its too late. We are into 2nd min of stoppage already.

Yes Messi plays to answer your question so tell the gf off......

Barca lineup:
Valdés, Alves, Puyol, Cáceres, Abidal, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Eto'o, Henry.

Raskolnikov

I have just backed Gijon to beat Barcelona 1-0 at 94/1. Barca are in top form, but that price is madness.

Mgoraf

1-0 Barca. Etoo.

Just a speculative fiver. No team should ever be 94/1 to win a game 1-0.

Have to say Iniesta is very impressive in the Xavi role. Always said it's an injustice to play him out wide.

Game over !

Alves



Maybe not.

True. I'd have done the same but it was already 1-0 when I read your post.

Anyway, Iniesta is easily my favourite Barça player. He has unbelievable balance and is the most graceful footballer I've seen since Zidane.

i really hate "dancing on ice" might catch the second half of this one.

Is anyone in more hell than me right now. I cannot watch the second half after enjoying a great first half, because my missus is watching the series finale of The F**king Hills :mad:

Edit: Is the game not live on Sky?
