An update from Paul:

Hey there, just a quick note to explain why this game is on Thusday 27th and not November 9th(as originally scheduled)

Basically when they drew up the fixture list for the season, the Spanish Football League never considered the possibility that the Spain national team may have to play a 'play-off' to reach the World Cup finals.

As Spain were 2nd in their group at the end of May with only one team going through, that may seem a bit remiss to some people - it certainly does to Sid and me.

Anyhow, Spain did finish second in their group and now have to play Slovakia to qualify for Germany 2006: their play off games are on Nov 12 and 16, which means that as the Spain coach obviosly wants a week to get his team prepared, the games planned for Nov 9 are now this week.

England and France considered this possibility when drawing up plans for the season - Spain did not, I will say nothing (officially) and let you draw your own conclusiions........however the phrase "lack of foreward planning" does come to mind...

Nevermind, it does mean that we have to wait less for Atletico - Cadiz (and everyone in Spain likes Cadiz) they are great fans and it is a shame we are not going to go there this season.

Finally a piece of news, which i find amazing: Daivd Beckham's sending off against Valencia has been revoked and now he CAN play on Wednesday in La Coruña....I thought his dissent (twice) was very clear, but it seems if you complain enough you get away with it....I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on it.

It is going to be a busy couple of weeks because next Sunday we are in BArcelona and on Thursday (Nov 3) remember we have UEFA CUp action - Lens v Hamlstadt (the Swedes who knocked out Lisbon) - i can't tell you the hangover we got after that game - however take it from me -Lisbon= party city (more than Lens i suspect)....

CHeers PAUL

Guys, don't forget to set your DVRs for 2pm tomorrow.

The game is not in the guide, so, don't rely on DISH Pass/name-based recording: it won't work!

You need to set the DVR manually.

As of this morning my on-screen guide started showing today's game!
It wasn't there last night. Glad to see last minute correction!
It seems to me the guide has become more accurate with transition to E*, even in spite all La Liga uncertainty...

Hey, will you be able to join us tonight for the DVR simulcast?

I have also invited Paul to join us too, but he will probably be either in a bar or in bed by that time.

By the way, here is another update from him:

Madrid were awful last night - lost 3-1 to Deportivo while Barca got (another) bad penalty decision going their way and beat Malaga 2-0. They are now one point better off that Madrid!!!
