he was better at the start of the second half and increased in confidence but seemed to tire towards the end. Played a couple of nice crossfield passes though. Cacapa was class while Smith ran round to little effect.

only 22. RIP and please let uefa see sense and postpone this weeks Sevilla game.

his condition has got worse according to the hospital's latest press release. "La evolución clínica del paciente es desfavorable por la progresión de los signos de sufrimiento cerebral postanóxico, y por la disfunción multiorgánica causada por la parada cardiaca prolongada que motivó su ingreso", the clinical progress of the patient is unfavourable due to increased signs of suffering cerebral postanoxico, and due to the multi organ dysfunction caused by the prolonged cardiac arrest which was the reason for entering the hospital.

If you put Zaragoza v Villareal inyo youtube you can see footage of D'Alessandro going past him.

AS reckons he's more likely to stay at Sevilla.

he's in AS today saying that he's going to be at Barcelona forever. He has a heartfelt desire to retire at Barcelona. it's the same type of clause that allowed Ayala to shift to Real Zaragoza from Villareal without playing, so theoretically it's possible, but highly doubtful. It's more a measure of how desperate Real Madrid are starting to get with their lack of a ball playing centre midfielder.

Sevilla are perfectly happy with the way things are going. and surely with Dani Alves they are beginning to create their own 'galactico' rather than buying them in.

Deco ahead of Raul. Deco makes Barcelona tick and does a lot of dirty work in centre midfield.Luque was faster than Raul has ever been. Raul wouldn't add anything to Newcastle. Does he fuck, he's a luxury player! err, yes he does. he was more of a luxury player before he joined Barcelona. when he's playing in midfield with xavi he really gets stuck in. i'm pretty certain he was the most fouled and the player who committed the most fouls in la liga when barcelona won. when deco isn't playing Barcelona don't link up as well. regards D'Alessandro, technically he's excellent, but he lacks a bit of pace which means that although he beats the player he can't get away. Also Victor Fernandez has spent all this year playing him right wing which means he cuts inside to shoot rather than crossing. When he played left wing against Barcelona at the Romareda he tore them apart. Newcastle should try and sign Diogo from Zaragoza, he's a quality right back.

the edmilson link was in Sport and Marca over the weekend, and i seem to remember reading the gudjohnsen one in marca on sunday. And they're both mentioned in AS today. elmundodeportivo are more concerned with shifting motta at the moment.

definitely going to be Schuster at Real Madrid. He, Calderon and Mijatovic have been planning transfer targets for ages and Schuster has a pre contract agreement that if Madrid break they have to pay him €1million.

oliver fowler is an agent. fact. and he drinks in an irish bar just off las ramblas. fact.

slighlty nerve-racking football but the uefa cup spots went to the teams who deserved it. The League, I'm not so sure.

Brilliant Player. Bit like Berbatov, he'd do brillianly in the Prem. If both he and his brother leave it doesn't matter if Zaragoza get Saviola and another central midfielder they're going to be pretty fucked. Plus I can't find anything i the Spanish press about it. I'm not convinced by D.Milito in the prem, i suspect he might be another Morientes.

sid lowe is good too.

Schuster from Getafe

the spanish press, particularly those with a Barcelona bias, reckoned that the referee had been too lenient on Saturday in the Zaragoza Barcelona game.

Villareal have signed a centre back too.

looked like his groin more than his knee.

i also saw that and considered emailing him but then thought he'd just get excited about having provoked a response.

i was there. before that clip diogo properly punches fabiano. best game i've seen this season. sevilla are good.

schevchechevchenko's last game in england? bit of gamesmanship gets you a long long way. big clubs have it wannabe clubs don't.

what a relief.

so is anything actually happening?

bbc text updates thing is shit. still seems to be the 73rd minute.
