Just a couple of things to point out about where the club sits heading into its match against Espanyol. First things first - glad you aren't a goal post after Llorente scores? That is definitely not his first assault on goal this season.
The club is currently enjoying two days off after a four-match-in-ten-day stretch. After a couple of brutal months schedule-wise, the club should be looking at a fairly easy-going finish to the season.
In great news for the club, Giuseppe Rossi has returned to Vila-real. Although surely still mourning the loss of his father, he may be available for this weekend's match. There was a nice moment of silence for Fernando Rossi prior to the Depor match.
Apparently, there was some controversy in Spain over whether Marcos Senna and Juan Carlos Garrido got on alright. Senna attempted to settle that, saying he has plenty of respect for Garrido, and considers him a "crack." Notably, Senna has played every minute since Garrido took over. I would be very surprised if there was any lasting issues there.
After his best match in __________________ (weeks, months, years?), Angel Lopez is recovering from the mid-match knock that he took to the head. In the end, it required seven stitches. It didn't slow him down, though, and I have to think he will be ready in a week if Garrido calls on him.
And, I do not think it made the posts or comments around here, but there was significant linkage suggesting that Villarreal are interested in Madrid's Fernando Gago. With that kind of news base, there is usually at least some truth to a rumor. A year and a half ago, I thought he was one of the most underrated players in the world. I still think he has top notch talent, and I would be very interested to see him in the middle of a 4-4-2 formation.

The story about Senna and Garrido came from a conversation between Garrido and Roig supposedly heard by Canal + at the Bernabeau.

Gago would be interesting, he has been very poor for Real Madrid this season but our environment could suit him. Riquelme had a similar situation with Barca and we know what he did here. I doubt that he’d come cheap though!

I absolutely love Gago; can you imagine how much of an upgrade he would be over Bruno/Senna? Would totally change the dynamic of this team, assuming he is on form.
He won’t come cheaply, but he’s clearly out of favor. The problem is: would Real Madrid give him to another La Liga side? And we do have a cost-controlled way to get some young players back (from Malaga and Valladolid), so we could afford one big signing.

Quote from LLL
If he doesn’t play, then he’s at home crying" – Lady Gago’s agent Marcelo Lombilla reveals that not only can his client not pass, shoot nor tackle, but that he’s an enormous pinny-wearing ponce to boot.

Congratulations, Maddi!
I can’t wait for the game, I’m glad to see Rossi is back too. I can’t imagine how hard this has all been for him. His dad was a legend in Clifton.

FT Villarreal B 0-0 Catagena
Once again Villarreal B failed to convert their superiority into goals and leave Paco Herrera still waiting for his first win.

Are there ever any streams for the B team. The only time I’ve seen them play was last season in the semi-final and the final game.
by Ro on Mar 6, 2010 7:56 PM CET up reply actions
There are two problems here. First only half the Segunda A games are broadcast and most on regional TV. Second someone has to want to stream them.
Following the recent change to the agreement with the LFP an additional game is now broadcast on Friday nights, so there is a possibility that Villarreal B may be selected sometime.

They were on last week, but it’s generally when they play a team with a strong regional base. Albacete was on the Castilla-La Mancha channel; Las Palmas is generally streamed as well. But yes, once in a blue moon. However you can listen on the radio:
