    Napoli down to ten and the referee now YC any Udinese player for anything... then a Napoli player for simulation. Less than ten minutes to go and I reckon there's more goals and cards to come!

    Good result for Granada getting the draw.
    Decent performance from Udinese to win, great second goal too.

    Only if Granada avoid relegation though.

    Personally I think he'll have to do as he's told by the Pozzos.

    I still think the signing of a number of potential stars to us is because the Pozzo's may sell their stake in Granada (there were rumours last summer then again this year) and therefore protect / keep some of their investment.
    Also, it may be a way of moving money around or paying back the support over the first few years by us paying a higher amount of their salary and cutting Grenada costs.

    As long as they don't sell up and then buy a Panamanian club - the last thing we want is them mentioned in the Panamanian Papers...:emoticon-0136-giggl

    0-0 draw at home to Malaga yesterday after spurning a host of chances. They could well be back in the relegation positions by the end of this weekend's round of matches.

    Live on sky 3 and 3-0 down to Atletico Madrid. Hardly surprising. Not much going their way.

    You've got to feel sorry for Barca - three defeats on the trot now & crowds down to 88,600....

    I thought he's on a promise though not actually ours unlike Doucoure and PeƱaranda? Jaqing, sorry.

    12 yellow cards and 1 red 5-1 that sounds like a great game

    Relegation rivals Rayo Vallecano threw away a 2-0 lead at home to Real Madrid which helps the cause. Granada play at Celta de Vigo on Monday.

    Meanwhile Udinese are 1-0 up at Inter. Live on BT sport1. Can't see them hanging on to the lead though...

    Apparently none of the starting 22 in the Inter - Udinese match are Italian. A couple have been adopted...

    Indeed. Very entertaining game. Serie A history today: not one Italian in the starting 22. And of the 22 substitutes only four on each bench are Italian.
