La Liga makes my head hurt

Sporting Gijon might actually be good, despite the drubbing they received all last month. They won 2-0 at Mallorca, a whopping 734 miles away (including a ferry ride!) despite the following stats:

- Three shots on goal (Mallorca had nine)

- 28% Time of Possession

- Three corner kicks (Mallorca had eight)

In honor of such bizarre results, I hereby give you an official song for the season: "Makes No Sense at All" by Hüsker Dü . I don't think Bob Mould would mind.

Gijon must mean 'punching bag'

Did Sporting Gijon's chairman insult someone's mother? This has been the team's September schedule: @Sevilla (currently 5th), Barcelona (6), @Real Madrid (2), Villareal (1). And guess what? Reverse the home/away and it's their February schedule, too! Not too surprisingly they went 0-4 during this nightmare stretch, mercifully ending earlier today with a 1-0 loss to Villareal despite outshooting them 15-8.

For a visual representation, here is Sporting Gijon before this stretch:
