Anelka played the whole game and the worst Chelsea player to wear the shirt for a few years, Pizarro, scored the winner and he got an hour due to an injury to Shaunie.

But in his prematch conference, Keegan compared ‘his’ Newcastle giving the more entertainment and value to those living in London and going to the theatre. As the stats will prove after his first league game ending 0-0, the London theatre goers will have had a better night. LOL LOL

Laurie, lucky nobody talked about Newcastle-Bolton (1st with Keegan, 1st without Anelka) because… It’s crap. Nothing good is coming out of it so far. And there are only 5 minutes left. Bolton have defended for 85 minutes so far, but Newcastle are still unable to build any decent attack.

Shazback, next time I’ll have you write my post.

Mele, I’ll point that out in the Weekend Recap on Monday.

Yet again, I must point out that milan sit 12th in the table because they have THREE games in hand. Seems everyone neglects to look at a little part of the standings called “Games Played”

Also of interest :
Saturday :
Villareal – Valencia : The lesser of the two clubs from the valencian area recieves the other one. A nice prelude to the Madridista. Valencia wants to get a shot at the Champions League, but to do that, a win against Villareal is essential. But 5th placed Villareal have the same thoughts.
Sunday :
Shalke – Stuttgart : Stuttgart won the league last season, but have been dissapointing so far. Shalke has qualified in their Champions’ League group… Perhaps luck will change with the new year?
Betis – Recreativo : Dwarfed by the Madrid derby, but still an interesting match between two clubs that will have to win in order to grapple their way out of the relegation battle.
Nice – Nancy : these two “little” sides are 5th and 2nd respectively in Ligue 1, and the fight’s on for them to keep their place with Marseille, Paris, Bordeaux and Monaco all starting to get their stuff together.
Monday (ok, it’s not quite the weekend):
Liverpool – Aston Villa : Fighting it out to be part of the “big 4″… Don’t expect a goalless result though, Aston Villa have scored in their last 17 league games!

I didn’t realize how many derbies were going on this weekend. There’s Sheffield United and Wednesday too. CRAZINESS.

I predict Sacha Kljestan’s first international goal tomorrow. If I am indeed playing the “USMNT drinking game” that equals something like five shots at once for sure.

Boo, the CAN kickoff won’t be broadcast by Setanta or FSC, but at least telesud got their act together.

Lens vs. Lyon will be on Setanta though!

If you happen to be adding derbies, we also have the Edinburgh derby between Hearts and Hibernian this weekend in Scotland. If we’re lucky, Vlad Romanov will cover himself in war paint and run on the pitch fighting invisible monkeys. Not the most stable billionaire.

Yeesh, is that this weekend? I spent four hours liveblogging the MLS superdraft, which put me in a major time crunch. I didn’t even look at La Liga. My bad. I’ll go in and add it now.
