Villains

Four sent off this weekend, including Mallorca manager Luis Aragonés, who at his age should know better than to argue with the referee. The other three, Arteaga from Espanyol, Manel from Numancia and Xavi Roca from Villarreal all picked up two yellow cards. The table is a bit dull this week, with few changes, but the return of our leader Marioni to the field of play next week after four games forced lay off could brighten things up. (22.10.00)
