Edmilson is out till March, dunno what's going on with Silvinho. Motta and Gabri are out with the same injury as Edmilson I do believe. Gabri's crap though.
Oh so do I. Iniesta is going to be HUGE. Honestly with the talent that's there, Catalunya would beat Spain. Oh how I'd love to watch...
They also got Edmilson, Sylvinho and Belletti as well. Overall they have the best team in Spain on paper, not one of Real Madrid's players is better right now IMO. Yeah ... even Zidane.
Xavi is awesome.
So far they haven't really got going, languishing toward the bottom end of the table but they won't get sucked into the relegation battle (looks like it'll be between Numancia, Getafe, Albacete and Racing this year).
Villa to be missing Solano, Angel and doubts over Sorensen and de la Cruz. Arsenal to be missing Ljungberg, Clichy, Edu, Gilberto and Reyes to be rested probably.

I still think Depor will finish ahead of Espanyol, Atletico, Sevilla and Bilbao simply because they're Deportivo. They have better players than those four, and should be able to finish fourth. Real Madrid don't have waht it takes to finish ahead of Valencia or Barcelona anymore.
Valencia is...
I'm not totally sure which kids will play. Most of them are good enough already, it's just Wenger won't send a team without experience. Cesc and Flamini had a field day against the River Plate midfield in Amsterdam Tournament but Edu is on the outs with Wenger (he's leaving in January IMO) and...
But the thing is when it comes down to the business end of the season the likes of Aleti, Sevilla etc. don't have the depth to be able to cope like Depor can. Those two will fall away eventually while Depor will slot into 3rd or 4th.
Neither do Valencia though. Depor don't need to buy a...
Most likely our team will be:
Almunia
Hoyte Senderos Cygan Clichy
Pennant Flamini Edu Smith*
Bergkamp van Persie/Reyes
So we have 28, 19, 20, 30, 19, 21, 21, 26, 17, 35, 21/21 year olds :P. Throw in any one of Cesc (17), Lupoli (17), Seb Larsson (19) and Anthony Stokes (15) as outside...
I am aware of that, I said it first.
Exactly what I said the first time. Heh.
Depor only need to finish fourth. They aren't strong enough to compete outright with Barcelona and Valencia but they certainly have the ability to finish third as Real Madrid are crap.
Finish fourth, make...
Depor have been the most consistant team in Spain for the last five seasons, never finishing below third - hence the name "Super Depor". But yeah, they were a nothing team much like Valencia not too long ago. They are/were a very good team with one of the best defences in Spanish football ...
I tend to believe with the way they started the new season that it's the end of Super Depor, or at least the end of Super Depor is in its infancy. I mean, who did they add to an already aging squad in the summer? Nobody.
They need to rebuild this summer, if not they could be in real trouble.
Has developed a big discipline problem or something. The whole fracas with Frisk and the Roma fans was a direct result of Mexes kicking someone.
Roma's defence has been pish, too.
That'd be a clean sweep for me ... only the Suggestions board to go~!
Lucky there's nothing to talk about unless someone wants to hear about the non-flying Bergkamp t-shirt I bought :p
Oh, and you forgot pie eaters, xenophobia, the long ball, whinging and crappy weather. If you're going to Pommie-bash at least get our stereotypes right.
