Villains
After last week's record haul there was only red card this week, and that from a man who should know better. Recreativo's Lucas Alcaraz becomes the second manager to hit our charts (the first was Fernando Vázquez) after getting sent off for the second time this season. The volatile team coach was angry after the game saying that he was given both yellow cards for waving his arms around, and that in the future he would have to get his tailor to sew his sleeves together to stop them moving. Nothing short of a strait jacket would work in his case though. Elsewhere Barcelona's Gabri joined the group on ten yellow cards and will miss next week's match, as will five players who reached the five card threshold, Héctor (Deportivo), Antonio López (Osasuna), Jauregi (Real Sociedad), Javi García (Recreativo) and last year's top villain, Villarreal's Quique Alvarez.
