not sure if anyone is watching, but Almeria scored three goals in five minutes at the end of first half, all three by Louis Suarez, and assist by Ramazani, all in five minutes

since then, Granada missed a penalty, scored a penalty, and it is now 3:2, aiming to finish as draw IMO
interesting match overall, two relegation fooders fighting for fresh air

Didn't watch but I saw 3:0 result at the half time only to finish a draw with missed penalty by Granada. It was surely an interesting game to watch. Suarez scored a hat trick in 5 minutes! That's some achievement. I had 1:1 for that game so one point for me

EDIT: I just saw that I got the yellow hat award for the previous round. I never thought that would be possible since I didn't follow La Liga before. I also climbed to the 7th place after being near the bottom of the table since the beginning of the season.

Oh come on, I'm dead last for like 5 weeks straight. Whatever I do, I simply can't move up the ladder.

I'm doing ok in other pools (middle in Serie A, top 20% in CL and PL), so this one really bothers me. I hate being last on the table.
I have only 3 correct scores in 8 rounds of games, so in 80 games I guess? God damn, that's depressing.

You know how they say - someone has to be the last one This is the only pool I'm competing in (beside BSFL) and I never give it too much research time. I just check how teams are positioned on the table and give my answers accordingly. Maybe it's just luck like I had in the first season of the BSFL competition. I don't know, but I won't change my tactic

yeah, and all three goals assist was from Ramazani, they had perfect five minutes
but game end up as draw, and they were close to lose it, and that says a lot about Almeria this season, Segunda is calling them, and loudly

struggling in the pool that I have best performance in, have to find mojo again, a lot of wrong calls on matches that could go on any side

[notblox1]

This was very tight round in Superbru, only two players got one exact score and this can be changed only with last match Las Palmas vs Celta.
I was trying to watch the match but it is almost as boring as Atalanta vs Juventus in Seria A 
Thee is small hope for goals and I would be most happy with miracle 2:1 win for Celta.

[slaman29]

Iago Aspas star is falling, sadly. And that means Celta star is dying

Unfortunately, this season I have to say "I didn't watch" even more than usual. Generally I have work or sleep but this time working even weird hours that my online time is restricted and late night UCL is all I can afford to stay up for.

But the games have been fantastic these weeks right? And I know I jinx it but I said from the start maybe Atletico is the real deal...

[notblox1]

Damn Sevilla!
I had them to lose against Rayo Vallecano and they scored in last moments of the stoppage time for 2:2 final score 
Not a very good start of La Liga Round 9 for me, I hoped for better results and to see one or two surprises today.
How is everyone else doing?

I also had Sevilla to lose 1-2 against Rayo Vallecano and was quite happy to see that almost everyone else went with a draw or Sevilla win. All three of us had Rayo Vallecano to win 2-1 and cpuld have gotten 3 points but no... They had to score an equalizer.

I don't even watch any specific match. Why would I? I was checking if I have any improvement on the pool and noticed I am 28th out of 28 LOL. So far I have joined many pools but never had this experience before. It's something new for me LOL

I can use tips from you La Liga experts 😂

I knew this was gonna be a draw deep down but I just felt like after a strong performance that ended up as a draw in Champions League, they would try to avoid disappointment in La Liga.

I know never to bet money on this team already but in Superbru it's too hard to miss out on them.

I was near the bottom of the table few weeks ago, but managed to climb my way up. And the best thing is I didn't change anything while providing my answers. I guess was just lucky in the last few weeks. Like I climbed up, I could get back down if my luck turns around.

[slaman29]

Stupid Granada, or stupid Barca lol. I keep feeling like we're relying on one guy over and over, and it's always some young guy who shouldn't have this kind of burden. Yamal is great but we don't need another burnout

I'm here and there and all over the place. Obviously I have to pick Barca 100% of the time so I hope they appear as underdogs in a few matches so I can get some points above others

I know there are no secret technique to score good points in the pool, it's all luck and some analysis. But mostly it's luck I think when it is to get exact score.I think in La Liga pool I am yet to get an exact score. It's just not happening with me. Last year I had bad run in PL pool but it was not bad like this year. I am not doing well in other pools too. Hopefully this bad time will end soon.

[notblox1]

This was certainly one of the worst rounds I had in all my Superbru history  
I know La Liga had a lot of draw results this time, but having eight wrong predictions and only two points is embarrassing result for me.
Congrats to cls63 and other guys who made very good results this time, and I will eat with my wooden spoon.
Break in perfect time to recover from this disaster.

Goodbye Mendilibar. It was always coming, wasn't it? Think it was the costly points dropped in La Liga rather than UCL (since they would naturally prefer dropping to Europa, right, haha).

Can't quite decide if now's the time to spam them for a probable string of wins after this, or just bank on them losing until they get a new manager.

Edit: Found out it's Alonso. Don't know much. Meh.

Damn, in recent years Sevilla is changin their managers like socks. They don't give them much time. And it didn't looked that Mendilibar is there for long, he was appointed more just to save 22-23 season. Thisseason start was really disappointing, though, in Europa league everything goes by their plan, as Sevilla is 3rd in group now.
Only thing that I know about Alonso that he didn't managed to get out of group with Uruguay in World Cup. Somehow I doubt that he will be in Sevilla until end of season.

[casperBGD]

^^^
it looks to harsh and fast to give him pedal after less than 10 rounds this season
he took a European trophy last season after all, there is not many teams that can claim Europa league as their home venue, no matter form

can't say why, but I do think that La Liga is pretty much weaker this season, Barca and Real high above, Atletico will try to fight, all others being far away, although Girona shows some spirit, but it could be seen against Real what class difference there is
Valencia started solid, but it looks that we will have another grim season

going to international break

[casperBGD]

what an international break can do to a topic, it was a real deal to find it
on a page 7 in Gambling topic, with my post - going into International break as last one

nevertheless, Osasuna is breezing past Granada as expected (it does seem that this season has heavy favorites for relegation - Almeria and Granada, comparing to last season when half a league flighted for survival)

Sevilla is waiting for Real, in a match that can hardly be called a derby, hopefully it will prove me wrong

I see that Granada let down many forecasters (by not scoring their goal) and did not allow them to earn exact points. It’s quite illogical since Granada scores quite a lot of goals on average, while Osasuna concedes enough.
Seville - Real is interesting only because of the “signboard”, I think that Real should take 3 points without any problems. Surprises are possible in the Barcelona - Athletic game.
