If we win the league then Capello should stay as boss because it will b a miracle
It seems none of the other teams wants to win it this year. Barca are still top yet they have been VERY PATCHY especially away from home. I expect them to finish as Champions.
Sevilla seem to have the hardest run-in with games against Depor away and Zaragoza home. Of course the Madrid v Sevilla game for me will decide who challengs Barca, as their run in is the easiest, apart from the one tricky away tie against Atl Madrid.
It pains me to say this, but surely Real Madrid TV is by far the best club channel out there. While others I've seen appear to churn out hours of crap that would make Joseph Goebbels proud, Real's channel actually promotes democratic debate and even applaud Barca from time to time. Which is brilliant from Franco's favourite club.
Reports in Spain claim that Real Madrid are close to sealing a sensational move for Barcelona striker Javier Saviola.
The Argentine international has been at Camp Nou since the summer of 2001 when he joined in a big-money move from River Plate.
However, despite being a firm favourite of the club's fans, he has failed to truly establish himself as a fixture in the first team during that time.
That has certainly been true under the management of Frank Rijkaard with the South American having been shipped out on loan deals to Monaco and Sevilla by the Dutch coach.
This season he has featured for the Catalans, but despite a return of five goals in six starts, he has still to convince Rijkaard of his worth.
With his contract set to expire this summer, Saviola has not yet been offered a new deal despite making clear his desire to stay at Camp Nou.
As such he has been free to discuss his future with interested parties since January and it now appears Real have made their move.
Spanish sports daily Marca insists Barca's great rivals have all but agreed a deal verbally with Saviola's agent and appear confident he will agree to on a switch to El Santiago Bernabeu this summer.
The likes of Villarreal, Juventus and a host of other Primera teams are also thought to be keen on the diminutive hit-man should he, as seems certain, part company with Barca.

What makes it better is Barca still have to play Getafe in the league
