Luis Suarez's spell on the sidelines has come to a close.
Having served his eight-match ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra and a one-game suspension
for a gesture to Fulham fans, Suarez is set to return for Liverpool on Monday in its game against
Tottenham.

The Los Angeles Galaxy enjoyed a banner day on Wednesday, but it was by no means a perfect one.
After signing forward Edson Buddle and acquiring midfielder Kyle Nakazawa in a deal from the
Philadelphia Union, the Galaxy learned that homegrown signing Jose Villarreal will be out for six
weeks.

Barcelona saw their La Liga title aspirations take a serious hit after suffering a goalless draw
against Villarreal at El Madrigal on Saturday night.
Another road game, another setback.
It has been the same story all year long; with Barca now having dropped 13 points in league play
away from the Camp Nou this season.
Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes says that his side cannot afford to drop any more points if
they are to successfully defend their La Liga title this season.
Barca were held to a 0-0 draw against Villarreal on Saturday, a result that now leaves them
seven points behind league leaders Real Madrid, who recorded a 3-1 win over Real Zaragoza at the
weekend.
Real Madrid extended their lead at the top of La Liga to seven points after a 3-1 win over Real
Zaragoza whilst Barcelona were held to a 0-0 draw with Villarreal Madrid's win meant that champions
Barcelona had to also win at Villarreal to keep the pressure up but the visitors missed a host of

Barcelona might have won the latest el clasico, but it is Real Madrid who are threatening to run
away with the La Liga title.
Real Madrid are now seven points clear at the top of the Liga after their 3-1 win over bottom
side Real Zaragoza while Barcelona's poor away form continued as they were held to a scoreless draw
at Villarreal.
Barcelona's Copa del Rey semi-finals win against Real Madrid has been tempered by a growing
injury list that will make their clash against Villarreal on Saturday harder.
Andres Iniesta and Alexis Sanchez both limped off in last night's 2-2 draw, which secured a 4-3
aggregate win.
That means Barca will head to El Madrigal missing six players in total, as David Villa, Ibrahim
Afellay and Andreu Fontas are already injured, while Seydou Keita is at the African Nations
Cup.

Inglewood resident Jose Villarreal, 18, who still lives at home with his parents, has become the
first South Bay native to join the South Bay-based Galaxy from the club's youth academy. He spent
his first day on the job Monday, not so much overawed by training on the same field

Barcelona returned to within five points of Liga leaders Real Madrid with a 4-2 defeat of
ten-man Real Betis, on a day when Athletic Club improved their European chances by beating
Levante.
Josep Guardiola's men made an explosive start at Camp Nou as Xavi Hernández opened the scoring
after ten minutes and Lionel Messi took his league tally to 18 shortly afterwards.
Villarreal's tiki-taka exhibition
15 passes in about 20 seconds? Barcelona may have mastered the art of tiki-taka, short one and
two-touch passing (normally formed in shifting triangles created by three footballers), but
Villarreal showed us this past weekend against Valencia that the likes of Borja Valero are on to
you, Xavi.

Bienvenidaaaaa! We know it's Monday and you're probably still nursing
that hangover from last Saturday but Gracias a Dios for football because
Villarreal held Valencia to a 2-2 draw last night and we
know the town folks are celebrating!
Football resumed in Spain after the short winter break, and it did not take long for the first
upset of 2012 to occur, as a late equalizer from Espanyol in the Barcelona derby dented Barca's
title hopes.
Real Madrid started off 2012 like they ended 2011, scoring goals. This week Madrid beat Granada
5-1 with Karim Benzema scoring twice and Cristiano Ronaldo hitting his 21st league goal of the
season.
Omar Salgado contributed a goal and an assist during the Blue team's 3-3 tie against the

Vincent Kompany has spiced up Saturday's Manchester City's FA Cup clash with Manchester United by
asking fans on twitter to write his pre-match speech. The City captain launched the competition on

3rd Round clash with Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium [.
Together at the summit of the Premier League table, the thought of the last 32 of Europa League,
rather than the glamorous knockout stages of the Champions League, provides the stark contrast by
which Manchester City and Manchester United must define their seasons.
After winning the FA Cup last season, and qualifying for the Champions League, sky looked to be
the limit for Roberto Mancini's side.
LA Galaxy Academy forward Jose Villarreal joined Jack McBean and Tristan Bowen as Academy players
who signed with the Galaxy as Homegrown Players.
Villarreal, 18, transferred to the Galaxy after winning the 2011 U-17/18 Finals Week championship
with Pateadores. At the end of last season, his two goals paved the way for a 2-0 win against FC
Dallas in the 2011 U-17/18 Finals Week championship match.

In a match where both teams needed three points, London rivals Tottenham and Chelsea each had to
settle for one as they played to a 1-1 draw. Emmanuel Adebayor scored to put Spurs up in the 8th
minute, only for Chelsea to equalize through Daniel Sturridge fifteen minutes later.
Christmas wish granted: The Galaxy announced today that Inglewood's Jose Villarreal has signed a
pro contract with the team (Photos courtesy Los Angeles Galaxy). The South Bay has always churned
out its share of top class pros - John O'Brien, David Vanole and Robbie Rogers spring to mind
immediately -
Adequate Provocation in the Heat of Passion is a legal phrase, used in the American court system to
mitigate a crime from murder in the first or second degree down to voluntary manslaughter. Why
bring this up now, in the context of writing about Napoli? Well, I confess, it's because I've been
having homicidal thoughts about some who don the azzurri kit.
Yes the Clasico was not the only game played in La Liga this weekend. Here is a review of the
other games played.
Third placed Valencia looked to have the points wrapped up at Betis on Saturday, before two
injury time goals from Ruben Castro turned the result around to give the Seville side their first
win in 11 games, winning 2-1.
This is simply brilliant. From Talksport:
Samir Nasri has hit back at critics of his mega-money move to Man City by blasting Arsenal for
failing to provide the Europa League football he craved.
Nasri, who was criticised by Arsenal fans and labelled a mercenary when he left for Man City in
the summer, feels vindicated following the 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich that helped Man City
finish ten points above Villarreal to qualify for the Europa League's last 32.
Villarreal – Napoli 0-2: azzurri di nuovo nella storia Di Paolo Esposito Ci hanno provato tutti
in novanta minuti. L'arbitro Moen, che per l'intero match ha assunto una posizione intimidatoria e
ha dato precise istruzioni al quarto uomo su come "sorvegliare" la panchina di Mazzarri. Ci ha

As you're well aware by now, Man City played some lovely football, scored a couple of beautul
goals and filed a decent victory over an already-through-and-therefore-decidedly-under-strength
Bayern Munich side in their final Champions League group game to take their final points tally to
10, which would've been enough to squeak through were it not for Napoli's 2-0 win over Villarreal
in Spain with the upshot of it all being that the Italian's went through with Bayern and City will
be playing Europa League football next year.

The two Manchester clubs have been sensationally dumped out of the UEFA Champions League
following the final round of matches this evening.
Three-time European champions Manchester United are out of this year's tournament having
suffered a 2-1 defeat away to Swiss champions FC Basle 1893. United only needed a point to progress
but found themselves two goals down with ten minutes of the match remaining, with Basle's Marco
Streller and Alexander Frei getting the goals, before Phil Jones pulled one back to make it an
anxious finish for the Swiss side.

This is extraordinary. Just extraordinary. It's entirely possible that, with a group comprised
of Bayern, Napoli and Villarreal, Manchester City's first foray wouldn't go brilliantly. And it
didn't, dropping down to the 3rd spot below the Germans and Italians. (Villarreal finishing with a
big fat goose egg.
Tomorrow's encounter at the Etihad stadium will prove to be one of Manchester City's most important
in its recent history, needing a win against an already-through Bayern Munich side as winners of
Group A. Eyes in Manchester will also been on the Villarreal-Napoli tie where a Napoli win would
eliminate the Citizens from the competition.
The great Champions League escapes which Manchester City can draw inspiration
from
Roberto Mancini's men are set to face Bayern Munich but must rely on Villarreal to do them a
favour against Napoli if they are to progress in the unlikeliest of circumstances

After losing to Napoli during the week, Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has claimed that
his side are not quite ready to win the Champions League.
Following the defeat in Italy, even those looking at the best casinos online will tell you that
City face an uphill battle to qualify for the knock-out stages.
With the top three all in action on Saturday, attention will switch to the fight for UEFA spots
and the struggle at the bottom on Sunday. Levant host Sporting, in-form Bilbao are at home to
Granada, the stuttering Seville are at Zaragoza and Espanyol are at the Cornella-El Prat Stadium
against Osasuna.
Manchester City have become a proud club. Their foreign owners, AKA daddies, have invested a
multitude of their fortunes into the Blue clad section of Manchester. They have run the club an
annual debt of nearly 200 million pounds to restore order in their town. Fancy foreign men from far
off lands grace the sidelines [.
