Espanyol can be tricky bastards, hope they trounce him ;)

I can't believe that the Spanish FA have sanctioned an eleven vs one match!

Neville's Valencia won a match?

I hope Saltire and The Iron have family around them tonight.

They weren't convincing though. Espanyol could have easily had a few more goals. Diego Alves in goal was Valencia's best player by far.

Every dog has its day, I don't expect this to be the start of a run for them.

Definitely not. I've just read that Espanyol have now lost 9 away games in a row, so it's hardly a surprise that Valencia have finally won a game against such poor opposition. Let's see how Valencia do in their next few games.

Celta as always giving Barca a game, only genius by Messi from a freekick and setting up Suarez again preventing them from being level after they got a penalty. Still may get something out of this, though Barca are really purring now with 30 mins left.

Suarez has scored 12 goals in his last 5 home games, in all competitions.

Another hat-trick for the great man!!

Celta did well but in the end Barca just swatted them aside like a little bug. Some team.

Hmmm. When Real tonked a 9 man Rayo side they were criticised for breaking the unwritten rule of respect that says you shouldn't hammer a side that's had men sent off. Pique was quite vocal about it and Barca have done that twice since, and now they're taking the piss on penalties in routs.

No class.

I don't think any side should be criticised for running up the score, never got the paying your opponent respect by not thrashing them thing. By not trying to score and giving youth players a run out you are showing a lack of respect to the opposition also. Of course, this doesn't absolve Pique for being a hypocrite. Barcelona have the moral high-ground over no club.

I like the thrashings (play to the final whistle and all that), it also signifies what a piss poor product La Liga is as a whole and highlights that something needs to be done to address the gap between the top three and everyone else.

They just ooze class with that front three and the rest. Brilliant team.

Personally I think the penalty thing was kind of an overkill. Not that Barça should contain to expand the score or their irreverent and talentful plays but in this situation specifically - a penalty with already a big score - it felt almost insulting.

Short term boost only, it won't last.

Real Madrid blew it again I see when Penaldo fluffed his lines from the spot where he gets about 20 a season from.

Glad that Gary is starting to get some wins. He's lucky he found a big club that was willing to give him time to settle. Hopefully he can make them European contenders come May.

I see that Barca are now 9 points clear of RM. Appointing Zidane was a fantastic move I see.

Valencia have won the two league games that they've probably played their worst football in.

I see Atletico also drew 0 - 0 yesterday so great results for Barca this weekend despite supposedly playing pretty poorly.

Next week there is some right biggies; Madrid derby at the Bernabeu, Barca entertain Sevilla at the Camp Nou, and Valencia host Bilbao.

Spanish teams are 15-0 in European competitions over the course of the last seven days.

Europa league:

Valencia 6-0 Rapid Vienna
Olympique Marseille 0-1 Athletic bilbao
Villarreal 1-0 Napoli
Sevilla 3-0 Molde

Champions league:

AS Roma 0-2 Real Madrid
Arsenal 0-2 FC Barcelona


Fary enough, The Iron and Saltire's man-crush Gary Neville is responsible for almost half of the goals but still - pretty impressive.
