Villains

We have a new leader this weekend, and his name is... er ... Víctor Muñoz! But isn't he a manager? Well yes he is, but the Recreativo boss was shown a red card for the second time this season, and rockets to the top of our chart! Víctor was protesting about the performance of the referee after his midfielder Carlos Martins was sent off, but Valencia's Marchena got off scott-free after punching Cáceres in the face. The red cards came in two-by-two this weekend though, with Mallorca's Ballesteros getting his marching orders in the first half against Betis for lashing out at Caffa, and Güiza following near the end for a second bookable offence, and Valladolid also losing two men before the break, Cifuentes for a second booking and Butelle for bringing down Murcia's Richi as he advanced on goal. Finally with only six days gone we already have our first man to be suspended for five bookings, Espanyol's Zabaleta taking that dubious honour. (01.10.07)

PS Víctor and Martins both picked up two match bans from the disciplinary committee for their troubles.
