Tenerife should have scored twice and have had more of the ball. Think the heat could be getting to Valencia. Its 21c in the Canary Islands right now. A complete change to a still mild/wintery Valencia.

CHD

Jesus that was a horrible break for Filipe. Poor chap.

Madrid Derby coming up next

Getafe lineup:
Codina, Miguel Torres, Cata Díaz, Rafa, Mané, Celestini, Casquero, Albín, Manu, Pedro León, Soldado

Atletico Madrid lineup:
De Gea, Valera, Perea, Domínguez, Antonio López, Assunçao, Jurado, Reyes, Simao, Agüero, Forlán


Headshot I honestly couldnt call it.

Valencia have had chances though definitely below par today.

Attacking Banega for Marchena was the switch.

Is Asenjo injured?

Headshot

****ing bastards anyway

redout

was thinking that myself but the word is Flores is sticking with De Gea after some convincing performances in the Copa del Rey. Asenjo is not injured just dropped!

Bukman13

Strange one, Asenjo has been one of the few positives this season. He had a dodgey game last week, but IT seems a bit impulsive to just drop him.

Anyway lets hope he aint needed, and we can close the gap further on the top 7.

redout

I use to live a stones throw from the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.

I you lived in a certain apartment block on Avda Teresa outside you could watch all games for free with a clear unobscured view!

redout

Goal..........

1 - 0

Manu

Great cross

Have you ever watched Marchena play? He is classy, I don't get why he isn't starting lately.

Bukman13

Jurado off - Tiago on - That challenge on Jurado in the first half must have been the cause.

Reyes has had a mere thus far.

redout

De Gea is playing well.

Asenjo must be getting worried.

The Guardian done a write up on De Gea last week.

redout

Real Madrid lineup:
Casillas; Ramos, Albiol, Garay, Arbeloa; Lass, Xabi Alonso, Kaká, Guti; Ronaldo, Benzema


Guti first start since the infamous Alcorcon drubbing ?

Man Citys Caicedo on loan at Malaga leads the attack.

Bukman13

We need to change something, he should throw Ibra on.

Edit: Assuncao Red card, he seems to get sent off every second match...haha

redout

Asuncao sent off for Atleti

Tough ask now.

Bukman13

Ibra on with 3mins to go... 30mins too late IMO

redout

Casillas to the rescue.

redout

Guti with a smashing volley.

Keeper saved well.

redout

Interesting that Guti has the armband and not Casillas.

Seniority ?

Goal.............

Guti has been top class.

Kaka still looks off the pace.

Mallorca could have had about 2/3 themselves.

Ronaldo's 2nd was brilliant.

Bukman13

Might flick over for the 2nd half.

redout

Goal.............

3 - 0

Offside given.

redout

Ronaldo sent off

Deliberate elbow

No arguments.

Bukman13

Never a dull day when it comes to Ronaldo....

syngindub

any links for the goals?

redout

Job done for Real though Ronaldo seeing red has taken the gloss off it.

Second time he has seen red in the past six weeks.

jaykay74

How many reds has Ronaldo received for Madrid so far. That must be 2 or 3 already.

Marchena is....a 'no-nonsense' defender. I think there was a good stat when Real played at the Mestalla about him, Ramos and red cards

Ronaldo on the sending off incident:

Ronaldo wrote:

"I had the intention of playing the ball. I learned a lot about this in England, because in the past I used to dive, but I am a bit angry that players do things like this," he said.

That'll warm the hearts of the ABU's. :pac:

Johner

It was definitely a red card.

He broke the lads nose as well.

Was at the Bernabeú last night and saw why Ronaldo loves Real.

The fans indulge his attitude because of his skill and he indulges their support of Real because of the adoration he receives. He put on a big show last night. He scored two cracking goals (first one was the end of a lovely move) and when he was sent off, he pleaded his innocence in the most dramatic style possible. The Real fans lapped it up.

I thought the game was pretty good. Real were a joy to watch, Malaga had some nice moves too.

Also, my Spanish isn't great so could someone help me out: when Ronaldo was sent off and Mtiliga was on the ground, the Real fans started shouting either "fuega", "fuera" or "prega". I haven't a clue what they meant.

staker

I'll never forget the angry looks I got off the Madrid supporters around me when I burst out laughing at Ronaldo's antics when he got red-carded, I thought I was gonna be lynched!!
Lass is some workhorse, and Alonso can distribute some passes.
Ronaldo's second was brilliant too.

redout

Ronaldo has been officially handed a two game ban following his second red card in the past six weeks. Real Madrid have immediately announced that they will be appealing. If upheld he will miss saturdays game against Deportivo then the following one against Espanyol.
