Is it to try break into the Asian market? Noticed Barcelona kicked off at 5 or 6 last night and Zaragoza game kicked off at about 11(pm, I could believe but am!).

Yes

P.S Anyone when Spain started doing early KOfs? Is it to try break into the Asian market? Noticed Barcelona kicked off at 5 or 6 last night and Zaragoza game kicked off at about 11(pm, I could believe but am!).

On Sunday they have ko's at 12.00 - 14.00 - 16.00 - 18.00, I think these games are covered by Spanish pay TV, with the Saturday games covered by free-to-air, could be wrong though.

Home draw with Valencia

Lead down to 4 points. It's getting interesting

Lead down to 4 with the Nou Camp Clasico still to come...

Now Madrid have to go to Atletico on Wednesday for the last ever Madrid derby at the Vicente Calderon...surely for once Atleti will be up for it? And as Barca play on Tuesday (at home against Getafe), there's a good chance it'll only be a point by the time the derby kicks off. It didn't seem possible a few weeks ago, but Barca must be scenting blood now.

Forca Barca!

I thought it was possible. I predicted all along that Real would go on to drop points and that the pressure of Barca racking up wins would tell. I also predicted Man Utd would win after the 1-6 game, so I guess I'm just a genius.

Can you prove these predictions?

I'll be honest, when it was 10 points I couldnt see Madrid dropping enough points even if Barcelona won every game. Also thought City were uncatchable shows what I know

with Barcelona at home to Getafe and Real away to Athletico this midweek it could be pretty tight going into the classico a week on saturday

I thought the valencia game was always going to be draw esp after watching valencia destroy AZ in europe, credit to the valencia keeper guaita. Its going to be very interesting to watch this unfold..

From another forum, for all the proof that is, on Feb 23rd:

And on your point about Madrid having it in the bag, I do think Barca can go on a real run - they just need to hope Madrid start dropping points. I think it's doable.

The Man City thing is harder to prove. I don't know if I posted about it, but I was on the phone to my best mate who's a Man Utd die hard and I confidently predicted Man Utd would show their experience and go on to win it.

So, in answer to your question, naw I cannae prove them

I thought it was gonna be a draw and looked at the odds of 5/1 on Paddy Power. I shat out it though, and put a Draw No Bet on Valencia just in case. I felt confident Real weren't winning, just got caught in two minds about how it would go. Fanny.

aye the score draw was more likley, but when the bookies started laying odds on at 3's n 4's I thought that was abit of a ploy, I got 2.25 on valencia +1 goal. Its they last game, late at night games that make you think twice "got coupon buster written all over them

My friend who lives in Madrid and goes to the Calderon occasionally (because she's a Barca fan and couldn't bring herself to go to the Bernabeu) told me it was the end of this season...but a quick check on Google seems to suggest otherwise. My bad.

[EvilScotsman]

To answer the OP's question........ yes.

[Tartan Sheep]

Well, after Barca's very comfortable win last night let's hope Madrid lose it tonight - or, at the very least, draw it!
