Call me crazy (because I am), but despite Tenerife loss last week to Villarreal 5-0 I still think the new boys will win this weekend. Why you ask? Because although Tenerife looked horrid last week this week they get to play Malaga who in nine games has lost seven. Malaga is in last place and Tenerife sits just outside the relegation zone.

Score-lines from the weekend's football included a 2-2 draw between West Ham and Arsenal at Upton Park, ahead of Arsenal's rather more bitter London derby this weekend against Tottenham Hotspur.

What a shocking couple of weeks it had been for the Catalans.

They have torn through all and sundry in La Liga up until their hosting of Almeria at the Camp Nou on October 4th. They may have come away with the result but it's a sign of the times that ONLY a 1-0 win for Barcelona is considered a bad performance.
