Damn, it's already second round in a row when Girona is playing with my nerves. Last week they won against Celta only after scoring goal on additional time and now they were down against Osasuna away 1:2 until 70th minute but still managged to win. This win not only covered yesterday's minus from Atletico win, but also gave some profit. Only question how long such amazing their run will continue.
Tonight Real Sociedad will play with Barcelona. In past Anoeta used to be most difficult stadium for Barca, but in recent years we usually win there. Seems that Barca after some time finally will have almost best squad.

And yet I'm hoping for Sevilla to score an equalizer which would bring me closer to the second place on Superbru. I'm trailing two point after jeremypwr and this goal would bring me a step closer. However, since it's Sevilla we are talking about, I won't hold my breath.

Happy in BSFL and happy in La Liga. I'm jealous of you this week man I even dropped more places in Superbru pool so this week is making me feel totally amateur.

The only good thing was Barca winning, super close game, I think it's time for me to rely on 1-0 picks again, like we decided to switch off so soon into this season.

If anyone needs to remember that it's not just Klopp and others in the EPL incensed at VAR, just look at La Liga and poor Celta Vigo. After losing to Las Palmas (hey at least they beat Atletico too) after VAR overturned a goal the ref gaves, Iago Adpas apparently overturned a VAR monitor when VAR overturned a last-min penalty the ref awarded against Sevilla.

Poor Benitez. He must be looking back at Valencia days. End of an era.

(No I'm not following Celta just because Rafa's managing and because Aspas is captaining, nope, not at all).

Oh and I'm in top 10! Rooting for Valencia!

Yeah, this week was pretty good for me. I see that Omikifuse failed to submit his answers so jeremypwr climbed to the first place and I'm just one point behind the second place. I hope I will win some more points in the four remaining games.

Didn't saw this game, watching highlights now. Not really sure about penalty, tricky moment, but I feel sorry for Benitez, such difficult season for him and I don't want to see him getting sacked. But still, difficult to find league where VAR is more contraversial than in EPL. Like yesterday's Newcastle goal - WTF was that, how ball wasn't out of pitch?
Yesterday it was one of worst Barca games for a while, Sociedad dominated completely for 85 minutes and it looked like they're playing 2nd division team. But for Barca it was enough to play good last 5 minutes to achieve complete not deserved win. What a perfect pass by Gundogan.

It is going to be a long season but you have a good chance to stay in top places in leaderboard.
This was not so great week for me in La Liga with only one exact score, and biggest surprise for me was Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano draw.
I expected to see lot of goals in this match, but I have to give credits to Rayo Vallecano, they are doing fantastic things in last few rounds and they somehow managed to resist all Real attacks today.

That's really really rare in Superbru pools actually as we've been playing for so long and you can even put picks in way ahead of time but this is a great reminder to anyone giving up that things like this can push you way up.

Anyway, I'm in bottom table now officially, and losing hope but always optimistic. Barca were the big winners this week despite a bad game so I can't complain

Today I received the 1mbtc free bet for the last round, thank you very much

Wait, we are getting a freebet for a yellow hat? Shit, I had no idea. I won the yellow hat award few weeks and probably won a freebet but I didn't know. Never mind, I hope I'll win few more yellow hats

[el che]

I was so close to getting the yellow cap this round, was in first place before the last game of the round, unfortunately i picked a draw between Getafe and Cadiz, which was close to hitting but Getafe managed to get the win with only 10 players. Ah well at least i had a good round overall which helped me a lot to move up the rankings, hopefully it keeps going that way and eventually getting a yellow cap.

The one from the round 11 you mean? I'm relieved you received it on Monday because I was looking for it since Tuesday and I was wondering if I just needed to wait a little bit more or if something wrong happened. I have very few chances to reach the top 6 this season so I was happy to get at least this free bet.

extract round 11, every Monday they credit the fb and you will have to wait until the next Monday, good luck with fb

[slaman29]

So guys La Liga once more. Can Celta Vigo break their streak and finally win or are the Basques at home too strong for them? I think this time they won't leave it to chance and finish them off early. Hence my bets include them.

Plus Valencia

I am always forgetting not everybody knows all the tiny details of these pools, but yes, it's tradition

Winning one yellow hat usually pays your fee back so it's the aim of many of us who aren't in prize spots hehe.

Well... I probably should have payed more attention to the rules of the competition. Maybe I will win the yellow hat again so I can win a freebet to pay for my entry fee.

what a bet
we didn't won in Madrid since David Villa time at Valencia, and that was long time ago
but there is always next time, so maybe it will be this weekend, form is going upward and Baraja is doing good job having in mind finances and team

not sure about Celta, Almeria and Granada are really below La Liga quality, and Celta is just above them on the table, not a good spot for them

I didn't remember that exact detail but I definitely know it was long long ago. I know Real has Bellingham but sometime that will dry up and while I never trust Sevilla or Valencia these days as favorites I'm happy to try their luck as upsets

Celta almost spoiled my bet but yes, let's see how it goes anyway!

[notblox1]

Girona continues to win and play crazy good even when they miss players, so they will probably play in Champions League next season believe it or not. 
I expected them to draw today against Rayo Vallecano, but they are unstoppable and odds on them are amazing.
They scored more goals than all other teams, they have most wins, they have best away stats, this is dream season for Girona.

it wasn't this time, Real brought us down really easy, fast goal at beginning, Valencia does not play all defense, and 5:0 at the moment

maybe next time

didn't expect them to win, but they are lining wins, as it is so easy, although they had easy lose against Real

will be interesting to see Catalan derby in a month, Barca is not best Catalan club anymore

Aaah very sad for me and even worse my normal French success let me down. IThis is my third 5-multibet in a row to miss by one, but at least this time I won't forget to use the freebet!!

I don't think they were undisputed best for a long time anymore, but I would happily take them today than the team they were couple of years ago. BTW Spain gave power to Catalans, I know its politics but they might try independence again!

We get a rather dull (on paper) affair to kick off La Liga this weekend, I shot myself in the foot by picking Villareal in midweek cup action to acca my freebets on Liverpool (they progressed but only after extra time) so I am left with only a few more Liverpool bets haha.

Odds aren't even really so great for me to consider Bara/Real upsets but just saw that Gavi is going to be a long-term layoff, what a pity. Trouble brewing for the Blaugrana?
