Here it is. Andre Gomes making the Getafe defence look like Johnny Evans and Tyler Blackett;

Will have to watch through YouTube itself though, I think.

[EddieG]

That control, though.

[Lineker]

What a stonker.

[Summers]

Rodrigo's control is fucking insane.

AMUNT!

Elche leading at the Bernabeu after Ronaldo kicked a man up the bum.

[Colly]

Real now leading following an even softer penalty.

One of the local amateur teams (Deltasport, the only local team on FM) just beat Willem II 2-1 in the Cup.

[The Lusophone]

Bloddy hell. Are Willem still in the top division?

[Baddar]

Ronaldo scored his 25th Real hat trick tonight. :/

[EddieG]

Bloddy hell. Are Willem still in the top division?

Yeah, well, they got promoted back last season

Fifa is expected to make a "significant" announcement on third party ownership (TPO) on Friday, with a ban on investment companies taking a stake in the economic rights of players believed to be under consideration. So, Porto are fucked.

Players from Real Zaragoza and Levante have been issued with a summons as part of an investigation into match-fixing. The game under investigation took place at the end of the 2010-11 season, when Zaragoza won 2-1 at Levante. Current Atletico Madrid captain Gabi Fernandez scored twice for Zaragoza in a victory that saved the club from relegation. Both clubs deny any wrongdoing and say they will co-operate fully with the enquiry.

Also, Summers - top of the league!

Loving it. Missed the last two games, working nights. But seeing Eurosport notifications pop up to 3 - 0 is beautiful.

Also, man.. Paco's header was insane.

Run of easy games so far, few harder ones coming up - but it's looking like a great season.

So that might be the nail in the coffin for brazilian club football.

[The Lusophone]

Or it might be the spark that sets off real reform in how club football in Brazil is run.

Starting with eliminating the pointless state championships.

So I'm watching Go Ahead Eagles v Feyenoord and two thoughts have sprung to mind. Firstly are they named after the breakfast cereal (sadly not), and secondly 'ACTIE TANKSLAG!' is my favourite electronic advertising board message ever. Don't care what it means.

Edit: Colin Kazim-Richards! Just massively mishit an easy chance in the box that jammily prompted an OG.

Double edit: This is from yesterday, why am I watching non live football?

This freekick...

And an 89th minute winner, too!

[Lineker]

Just looking ahead at what's on tele this weekend and Sunday is looking fantastic. Lyon v Lille, Juventus v Roma, Porto v Braga, Fiorentina v Inter, PSG v Monaco, Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao, plus other assorted Dutch and Spanish football. Sorted.

[Summers]

12 minutes in.

Valencia 3 - 0 Atletico.

This is insane!
