Neville's Valencia won again. Up to 9th now,

Really nice to see the players seem behind him now, the fans are starting to turn round too. Kind of shows you how ridiculously fickle fans can be nowadays, he lost 3 or 4 matches and people at Valencia were already calling for him to be sacked.

Good result away to Malaga that.

Sadly, they'll be on his back again if they lose their next two.

C'est la vie. Play A. Madrid at the weekend, but after that have some easier ties..... end the season with R.Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona and Villarreal in the space of 6 matches though, so he needs to pick up some points in the preceding games to end the season well.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos have handed in transfer requests. Wonder if Ronaldo has considered ending his career on the south coast of England?! Weather will be similar to Madrid, well for a couple of days a year anyway!

Ronaldo is 31 now, and its clear in the last year he is no longer at the very top of his game and has begun to decline somewhat. Would still be excellent for a year or two, but who is going to pay those wages and transfer fee for such a short term gain? I cant see him actually leaving unless his position at Madrid becomes so untenable, they give him away to get him of the wage bill.

Ramos is 30 too.... and Ramos has always been rubbish.

Whatever Messi can do...

A 14 minute hat-trick for Ronaldo.

7-1 now! Not that it matters anymore.

The title race in Spain will be over tonight if Valencia can hold on for a draw. In truth it's all over anyway.

[dan08]

It's definitely all over. Battle for 2nd is interesting though. Atletico 4 points ahead after their win over Valencia.

It's obviously Messi?

Gary Neville apologising to the fans again after an inept loss to the bottom side today. One win in five in all competitions.

Ref having a shocker in the Barcelona game.

Another comeback. Villareal have drawn level at 2-2. Five minutes left.

Looks like Neville is going to have to apologise again.
