Some good news for Madrid fans as arch rivals Barcelona slumped to a 3-2 loss Osasuna yesterday
forcing Barca coach Pep Guardiola to admit that his side is now at the mercy of Madrid and only a
slip up from the capital club would give his team a lifeline.
Madrid could go 10 points clear at the top of the table should they win at home to Levante today
an opportunity i am sure Mourinho would not want to miss.
Sing along now: "There's only one Arsenal."
Or not.
Fans of the Gunners familiar with only the Premier League, or the top four leagues in England,
might know a few teams from other countries. Mostly, this has been due to the Champions League
being televised so widely. Crazed football fans may watch more games, including from the top
European leagues in Spain, Italy, Germany and France but, for the most part, naming three teams in
Denmark might prove to be a challenge.
What a time to be a Tottenham Hotspur fan! Sitting third in the English Premier League and very
close to being able to topple the current league leaders should they win this weekend at the Ethiad
Stadium in Manchester, the chances are that some of the more hardened and cynical Spurs fans may
well be thinking that something dodgy is going on!
Barcelona, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Internazionale Milan, Bayern Munich, Manchester United,
Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal. So many great clubs in the heart of Europe but not one has yet
made a major transfer purchase in this January transfer window. To some degree or another, it could
be argued, that each and every one of those aforementioned clubs need at least one single player,
if not more in a few different positions.
On this week's predictions we feature the big Milan derby between AC and Inter as well as games
involving Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.

AC Milan defender Alessandro Nesta has no plans to retire soon.The veteran Italian defender who
is now 35 made the startling remarks during an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport on
Wednesday.
Despite his numerous injuries over the years that have seen him missing lengthy spells of
regular playing time, Nesta has no desire of quitting just yet.
When I look at the league table I get a shudder down my spine.
Of course S*urs sitting higher than us in the league table contributes to that shudder massively,
but what really causes that horrible feeling is that we sit outside the Champions League
places.
Now don't get me wrong, the thought of that lot finishing above us is indeed truly horrific.
Beckham's best option is to stay with the Los Angeles Galaxy and help establish it among the
world's elite teams.
In LA, he has the chance to go to the FIFA Club World Cup and build the Galaxy's reputation.

In the past 48 hours, we've asked you who do you think will win El Clasico. But today, on the
day of the game, we have a different but important question for you: Who do you want to win? Which
side are you on? Real Madrid or Barcelona?
Real Madrid v Barcelona is live on ESPN Deportes on Saturday, December 10 at 4PM ET.
Liverpool have jumped to the front of the queue for Bologna midfielder Gaston Ramirez.
The Reds' interest in the Uruguayan starlet has been an open secret for some time, but opposition
for Ramirez' signature has also been on the cards, with the likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid,
Manchester United, Manchester City and Sevilla linked with a bid.
It was not a good night in Europe for sides of Manchester and both City and United are in real
danger of not qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
City have the harder route to the knockout stages after they lost 2-1 in Napoli. Edinson Cavani
showed why he has drawn so much interest from all the top European clubs as he scored two goals and
was by far the best player on the pitch.
Image that makes the heart shudder in fear
As fans, we are more than easily riled aren't we. I will be the first to admit that when it
comes to Arsenal, emotions are rarely things within my control. When I saw the way Real Madrid has
acted in trying to tap up one of our players, I was incensed.
Just days after Neymar put pen to paper and signed a new improved contract that will see him
stay with Brazilian club Santos until 2014, club President Luis Alvaro Ribiero has spoken out on
Spanish club Real Madrid's aim to sign the teen sensation.
Ribiero who did not have any kind words for the European power house slammed the club's
behaviour labeling it lamentable and arrogant.
Some fascinating comments by Barcelona president Sandro Rosell today in which he wants to see
the Spanish league cut from 20 clubs to 16, limits placed on wealthy foreign owners and a more
equitable sharing of TV revenue.
Speaking at the International Football Arena conference, Rosell said:
"My opinion is that our league has too many clubs.
With almost a fourth of the La Liga season gone, Barcelona and Real Madrid are both off to solid
starts, but heading into this week's round of midweek fixtures, neither title favorite was at the
top of the table.
Of course, that likely won't be the case for long, and you'd have to expect those two to once
again occupy the top two spots come the end of the season, but to see unheralded Levante top the
table has to be the story of the first two months of the season.
This must be welcome news to all Arsenal fans. Being one of the richest clubs in the world, many
people cannot understand why they are never aggressive in the transfer market, especially when it
comes to buying high profile players.
Over the past 5 years, the club has gained a reputation for being a good breeding ground for
budding talent at the expense of creating a formidable side that can consistently challenge for
trophies.
Ryan Giggs rightly is held in the highest regard by all true fans of the game, yet the question
remains whether he is past his sell by date. Certainly if one were to look at the facts and see he
has already scored two goals this season than the argument may seem ludicrous. However, his
performances this season have been marked with a sense of sluggishness and downright
complacency.
Wanted to out some perspective on the 64,000 Seattle Sounders fans who came out for Kasey
keller's farewell game.
The Seattle Sounders crowd was the fourth largest crowd to watch a soccer match anywhere in the
world on Saturday night. Only FC Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich had larger
attendances.
More Seattlish stuff...
(First, apologies, if you just flew over from Twitter based upon a certain Megan Fox tweet that
bent the truth. This is, afterall, a piece on marketing. Read on friend for the connector.)
A great tweet on Sunday for MLS: 64,140 people watched Seattle beat San Jose in MLS this
weekend.
Sir Alex Ferguson calls for end to chants about Munich and Hillsborough
• Fans should respect rivals' histories, says Ferguson • 'Liverpool v Manchester United is
biggest game of the season' Sir Alex Ferguson has called on Manchester United and Liverpool
supporters to put an end to the chanting that has marred previous fixtures as he prepares for a
match he maintains is still bigger than the Manchester derby.
SPANISH FOOTBALL has lost a member of its historical family with the passing away of Spanish
Football player JESUS PEREDA at the age of 73 due to cancer. Pereda on the left Jesus Pereda
played for FC BARCELONA, REAL MADRID ( his only Spanish League Title) & SEVILLA FC. He was also
member of the Spanish National Football Team that won the 1964 European Nations Cup against Russia.
This weekend should be a great one for football but in a less traditional way. There are no
Manchester United/Chelsea or Barcelona/Real Madrid matches going on but there are some matches in
other countries that might be considered the local equivalent at the moment. The three in
particular that I will have my eye on are Porto/Benfica on Friday, Shakhtar Donetsk/Dynamo Kyiv on
Saturday and Twente/Ajax, also on Saturday.
The e-mail account of Spanish Football Sports is almost collapsed by readers around the World
asking why I am not posting on the after shock-wave effects, or stating an opinion about the FC
BARCELONA - REAL MADRID brawl & Mourinho "eye-poke" incident during the Spanish Super Cup last
week. Why? Because everyone has already voiced an opinion, the majority from their own "coloured"
glasses
SPANISH FOOTBALL will have four Clubs in CHAMPIONS LEAGUE this season after VILLAREAL defeated 3 -
0 ODENSE ( 3 - 1 agg) in tonights 2º leg preliminary Champions League qualifier. The Spanish
Club joins FC Barcelona , Real Madrid & Valencia CF, & its the third time in their history that
they are part of the maximum level in European Football.
What are the odds there are three or more red cards in Barcelona-Real Madrid league
games this season? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day
Jose Mourinho is in hot water again. A man who seldom finds himself in hot water is a man with a
wife, three teenage daughters and one bathroom.

No habrá Liga en Primera y Segunda, pero los futbolistas cumplirán servicios mÃnimos. Aunque
la competición se para, la mayorÃa de las plantillas acudirá a entrenar durante los cuatro dÃas
de huelga convocados por la Asociación de Futbolistas Españoles (AFE).
Entre los equipos que menos van a secundar completamente el parón están los grandes de la
competición.
En un dia en el cual casi nadie pudo ver el partido en vivo en México por ser un juego de
transmisión pago por evento, muchos se perdieron de un juego lleno de bronca y polemica de
principio a fin.
En resumen los goles del Real Madrid son circunstanciales y los del Barcelona de una manufactura
excelsa en las tres ocasiones que el balón beso las redes.
If early returns are any indication, the already-must-see Barcelona-Real Madrid rivalry might be
reaching a new peak in 2011-2012.
Barcelona captured the SuperCopa after a 3-2 victory in Wednesday's second leg (5-4 on
aggregate), with Lionel Messi scoring two goals, including a late match-winner, in a thrilling
preamble to the Spanish regular season.

FC Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-2 at home this evening, 5-4 on aggregate to secure the
Spanish Super Cup for a third consecutive year. The match was hard fought as both sides battled
back and forth for 90 plus minutes. Of course any Barcelona, Real Madrid match is not complete
without controversy and this was no different.

Despues de un intenso y emocionante partido el domingo pasado que termino en un empate a dos
goles hoy se define la supercopa de España, este torneo que se disputa entre el ultimo campeon de
copa (el madrid) y el campeon de liga (el barca).
UEFA Champions League on Fox Soccer: Bayern Munich - Zurich at 2pm and Odense - Villarreal at 5pm.
Fox Soccer Plus has Dinamo Zagreb - Malmo at 2pm and Wisla Krakow - Apoel at 9pm. Spanish Super Cup
2nd-leg on GolTV and ESPN Deportes: Barcelona - Real Madrid at 5pm. CONCACAF Champions League on
Fox Soccer: Colorado - Metapan at 10pm and UNAM Pumas - Dallas at 12:30am (11pm on Galavision).
After a 2-2 on Sunday, we will have another El Clasico on Wednesday, at Nou Camp. The season has
barely started and we are offered a double portion of the most expected game in the world. Some
might say that the SuperCopa is not a really sought after trophy, and I agree with that, but the
rivalry will surely make it another disputed match.
Very shortly football leagues across Europe will begin the start of their regular season. Along
with the return of regular football will be UEFA Champions and Europa League games. The excitement
of the Champions League is greatly anticipated with the best clubs in Europe playing each other for
the glory of being crown the best in Europe as Barcelona achieved last time around.
The pre-season for some of the world's most popular soccer teams kicks off on Wednesday, July 13th
when English Premier League champions Manchester United meets the New England Revolution in the
first match of the 2011 HerbalifeWorld Football Challenge. The series will feature European giants
such as United, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Juventus [.
