Barca go one up away to Valencia

Gerrin there! Hopefully they can win it by 20 points or something as this is over as a title race.

Barca are a bunch of tapping up cunts. Mascherano and Villa's comments about Torres spring to mind.

Honestly don't know how any liverpool fan can still like that side. Hope they fail miserable in the champions league at least. The Mourinho affect should see Real through there. Tbh no one stands a chance over 38 games against a squad like Barca's.

Barca are ****ing awesome, although they were a bit meh today. El classico will be a bit meaningless now.

Hilarious, 10 points clear. Unlucky Jose.

That's actually very impressive. To be victorious over Bilbao and Valencia simultaneously. It's not easy. Valencia are easily the third best team in the league and have good ball players and determination whilst Athletic have similar drive coupled with grittyness and and physical strength. They're one of the biggest and easily the strongest/most aggressive team in Spain. So with players missing it's really a credit to Barcelona.

I don't particularly like the club, but everyone has to respect what they're doing. Also, it's hilarious that Madrid are going all out and they're not going to win anything this year and hopefully nothing next year too. If Mourinho fails to win the league in Madrid it'll be very satisfying to me.

The most hilarious thing about it is that Mourinho hasn't made Real a better team.

Now teams know what you will get from Real. You won't get an opponent that dominates like they did last year. They will get an opponent that will sit back a lot more and try and catch you on the break.

They know that they will create chances against them. The same type of system he used at Inter and Chelsea.

Be aggressive against Real and they will get big problems.

Pep hospitalised with acute back pain

MADRID - Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has been diagnosed with a spinal disc hernia after he was admitted to hospital overnight suffering from acute lower back pain, the La Liga club said on Thursday.
The 40-year-old former Barca and Spain midfielder was unable to attend his usual pre-match news conference on Tuesday because of the complaint and looked in pain during the champions' 1-0 win at Valencia on Wednesday.
The Catalan club, whose victory in Valencia extended their lead at the top of La Liga to 10 points ahead of Real Madrid's match at home to Malaga later on Thursday, said in a statement on their website Guardiola would be treated in hospital with drugs and an epidural.
"Pep is not feeling great and he got through the match as best he could," Guardiola's assistant, Tito Vilanova, said at a news conference after the game at the Mestalla.
"He is having a bad time of it and he doesn't even know where to put himself."
Guardiola's back problem comes at a crucial time for the Spanish champions.
They have away matches at Sevilla and Villarreal in coming weeks and will attempt to overturn a 2-1 deficit against English club Arsenal in their Champions League last-16, second leg at the Nou Camp on Tuesday.
