NUMANCIA STUN BARCA!

Newly promoted Numancia got off to a dream start with a 1:0 home victory over Pep Guardiola's new look Barcelona. Numancia goal came from midfielder Mario on 14 minutes. Barcelona should have scored when Messi's superb free kick hit the post. Credit to Numancia they played good soccer and were outstanding as a deffensive unit closing down Henry and Eto'o. Henry showed why he is considered a flop with a truly terrible performance. But as Guardiola said, this match won't decide if we win the title. It is a let down for Barca fans though. Top of the table are Athletico Madrid, winners 4:0 over Malaga.

DAVID BENTLEY MOVES TO TOTTENHAM!

BIG NAME TRANSFERS!

Over the summer, several huge transfers have been made, most of them revolving around Barcelona, but the biggest news in the transfer market is Real Madrid not buying Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United after a long negotiation failed. Barcelona have been buying and selling all summer, including Ronaldihno's sale to AC Milan, Deco's sale to Chelsea and buying Arsenal winger Alexander Hleb, who featured against Barcelona in the 2006 Champions league final, Brazilian left-back Dani Alves and Malian midfielder Seydou Keita. Up in England, Liverpool have failed to buy Gareth Barry from Aston Villa
but have bought Republic of Ireland captain and Tottenham Hotspurs striker Robbie Keane. Tottenham have bought Blackburn wonder kid David Bentley. Tottenham have also bought Brazilian keeper Gomes from PSV Eindoven. Quite a busy summer!
