La Liga (Matchday 16)
Barcelona sprang another step towards the Spanish league
title with victory at their nearby challengers Villarreal. The 2006 champions were forced to
overturn a one-goal deficit as Cani chipped Villarreal into the lead, but Malian midfielder Seydou
Keita threw the scoreline level and Thierry Henry's volley gifted Barcelona a ten point advantage
to dominate the half-way stage of Spanish proceedings.
It now looks certain that both Samba star Elano and English U-21 defender
Nedum Onuoha will exit this January.
Paris Saint-Germain, Fulham, and Blackburn have all been linked with Onuoha; the 22-year-old
defender could net City as much as £4m.
Elano recently exchanged words with boss Mark Hughes after the UEFA Cup match
against Racing Santander.
The fixture can hardly be regarded as the most alluring of the weekend ties in the Premiership, let
alone on the season's calendar but this encounter was fascinating beyond the apparent face of just
another top-flight contest. Here we are presented with two entirely contrasting football clubs
that, forgetting their respective histories, have endured an indifferent 2008/2009 season that
would leave any well-respected pundit gawping at in disbelief.
The post-match analysis of the Manchester City Premier League matches will start
again tomorrow, which I am delighted to announce. For those visitors unfamiliar with the previous
writeups, Soccer City FC will be delving into the on-and-off pitch affairs at
Manchester City after every league match for the remainder of the Premiership season and beyond.
Firstly I would like to say thanks to Sean for letting me join the crew here and hopefully I'll be
posting as much as I can!
I'm a life long supporter of Newcastle and a while back it seemed like it was all going good, in
the Champions League, with Sir Bobby at the helm and a chairman happy to help his
manager with money.
