La Liga Title Race

[Alan]

This is going right down to the wire!

Both Real and Barca are losing atm, but Real are still top due to the head to head record. Sevilla could go top but they need to win and are drawing 0-0 atm. If Real win and Barca don't then Real are champions.

Contrasts quite a bit to our title race.

[Gem]

Barca make it 1-1, or rather Messi makes it 1-1. Infact, Messi's hand of God makes it 1-1.

He is the new Maradona.

[Alan]

Valencia are getting hammered

3-1 down to Levante, I think Canizares was sent off for a proffessional foul. Just looking on the Sky Sports score center thingy, Ayala's been sent off as well

Edit: They're down to 8 men

[loz]

barca are 2-1 up and Real 1-1 now

[Alan]

So Barca are top then?

Real can still win it, cos they have the better head to head. They beat Barca 2-0 at the Bernabeua then drew 3-3 at the Nou Camp.

[loz]

Madrid losing again - could they be about to blow the title at the death

[Gem]

Goal Madrid - 2-2 88th minute

[Gem]

ESPANYOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! 2-2 at Nou Camp! Madrid back on top.

I don't care who wins the title really, but Espanyol are my local Spanish team so I like to see them do well

[g3.7]

it's incredible. watching tvu, madrid game... "gol" channel... plus the legendary confused american and coked up geordie commentary team!

edit "cassilas has an orgasm back there". I want this guy commentating every game!

[Alan]

I dont mid who wins it as long as Barca don't

[loz]

I have always had an aversion to Real until this season when they have finally installed a proper football manager who understands the importance od defenders - so this year for the first time in a long time I have wanted Real to win the title.

Therefore I am delighted with those two last minute goals.

I would also like to see Real win it as I think it is ridiculous that people point to Beckham as the reason Real stopped winning trophies

[g3.7]

coming soon, if I can be bothered, a selection of the geordie legend's quotes...

[Alan]

The Hand of Messi...

[The Moos]

Normally I wouldn't care about who wins but since I have so far hated Real Madrid I should want to see them lose. But, as Loz points out, they have finally understood that they need a defence. Capello have really made the team better. So my dislike for them has weakened and my dislike for Barcelona has only increased.

So I really hope that Real wins it. I can't stand seing Barca win. I would just love to see Barca miss out on all the titles this season. Would be a dream come true

[g3.7]

I would be happy for capello (and a few players) if real won the title, but barca would winning would mean eidur winning... so I don't really mind.

[clubhappy]

Eidur with a championship medal would do for me , although if he were not to get one , he might just come back .

[g3.7]

Cheers

Well it would appear Beckham is going to get his Real title at the death. Real 3-1 up with 5mins to go after being 1 down for a long time. Real thoroughly deserve the win and even more amusing is that Barca are cruising in their game. Reyes third goal was a very fine strike.

You have to doff your cap to Capello, a pretty top drawer turnaround for a club that has been going backwards for seasons now.

[heckel]

Two (non-consecutive) seasons with Real, two titles - and he'll still get the sack

[g3.7]

cap's great.

I've heard he was planning to resign if he won the title and stick two fingers up to the board (different people, same stupidity).

[loz]

If he does that then the Daily Bigot demands full copyright over the headline 'Chelsea say 'Cap Hello'

[Alan]

Glad Madrid won it, what a finale

done. go on, treat yourself and add that to the memorables.

[Joel]

It was an entertaining game, albeit a fairly predictable outcome. However, if Varela had tucked away that fine chance early in the second half....it would have been some finish.
