Sneaky. Thought you'd dropped your standards then

1-1 home draw with Racing means Atlético's start is becoming a bad one, Resino will be out of the door before too long, especially given the fact the fans have turned on the board, there was a big protest march before the game.

Just watched Espanyol/Real Madrid, Kaka was absolutely superb, Espanyol started well but once he got going he was on a different level, ended up 3-0 to Madrid.

Thought he was superb. Think 3-0 was harsh on Espanyol though.

Definitely was, but when you're opponents are fielding someone like Kaka in form there's always a chance you could take a beating.

I bet the rest of the league are glad the fixtures haven't come out like last year where they played Barcelona then Real Madrid in succession, Messi one week then Kaka the next could be a little bit too cruel.

Ronaldo was less than impressive. Casillas looked sharp, but I can't believe Espanyol are going with Garcia and Tamudo for another season.

I think he'll struggle in Madrid, I really do.

He's got his pace and his skills and he's a decent enough finisher, but his passing game has never been the best and his decision making leaves a lot to be desired. I actually think he could be an excellent striker in Spain, or maybe a left sided player in a 4-3-3.

Very poor start from Atletico and what was Resino thinking playing Forlan and Aguero seperately?
Defense again struggling.

I am thinking of going to watch a Real Madrid game. Or perhaps a Barca one.

Anyone been over there to see a match?
