Praise the Lord for an early Clasico.

haha ... sorry?
I just skimmed the whole thing for 'Barcelona' and only went through it in whole once I had commented tbh, that's how sensible I am with Clasicos and when they're scheduled to take place. ;)

Me too!

Now we've done that we can *gulp* focus on the fact we're meeting Valencia first and Osasuna last, and that our first meeting with Deportivo in 18 months is at home, which is good, because we never win at their stadium (except that one time, and that was only because the football gods decided Benzi needed a goal rather more than Deportivo needed their near-perfect record against us - which says something about his scoring drought, actually).

Initial impression: it shouldn't matter when potentially league deciding clasicos are played, but these are so early in the two halves of the season that one is tempted to say it matters less than it has in the past few years.

i feel like we always play Getafe so early in the season

and some news:
apparently Dani Carvajal is going to Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga has the best defenders, so he has his work cut out breaking through.

Quite a lucky thing, to leave the Spanish third division and make it to a top German team, in my opinion.

Well, apparently not.

We shall have to see if Leverkusen has a better eye for defenders.

LOL, what a welcome to second division. Villarreal, then Barca B, just in the first 2 weeks.
