La Liga

[West13]

First time in 13 years they have lost 3 on the bounce in the league. Real has plus 10 on them in the for and against as well

 

Fantastic finish to the league

La Liga use head to head. Barca has that covered over their rivals. But they have lost all momentum.

[marron]

Yep. It's why scores blow out sometimes - might as well keep attacking, no need to shut up shop and defend your goal diff.

And why the teams battling relegation put out B teams vs the likes of real and barca and focus attention on their direct rivals. Last year both barca and real put 9 past teams in the last couple of weeks. Ronaldo scored 5 against Granada from memory, in a 9-1 win.

Who's seen the result this morning?

Hope Atleti win it, despite my username.

 

Hard to get behind a team with Jordi Alba in it.

I agree. Loving Griezmann, what a gun. Otherwise, such a solid team

There was a rumour a couple of months that Valencia were after Pellegrini.

 

Would love to see Pellegrini at Valencia. Time to get this club back fighting for UCL places

He'd have to be better than Neville, at least he speaks the language. Would be interested to see how he'd go, plenty of La Liga experience.

Anyone that could steady the ship would be an improvement on what we have now

FFA take note: Barca and Madrid playing at the same time next week (as they did last week, along with Atleti)

But but but what about the ratings? They won't get the ratings unless they play each game seperately!

they only care about the ratings overseas from the investors (chinese tv mainly). Hence the many 11 pm kickoffs that some times can finish up ending as late as 2 am. 

money talks, in football, la liga fans attend less games now, especially when midweek matches still kick off at 7pm and 9pm. Also the draws/fixtures and kick off times are announced every few weeks, leaving fans little time to organise for away matches.

[luisenrique]

That's true, la liga is atrocious for scheduling. In fact they changed the kick off times for the final round again the other day (still simultaneous kick-offs).

Reports in Spain that Mourinho 'could take Valencia job'

Mourinho to Valencia would be a slap in the face to Jose.

Yeah the EPL has that mentality due to the massive tv money and deals.

 

Personally i love watching the Bundesliga. I have watched heaps of matches this year and cant name one that was boring, even the matches between teams i have nfi about.

 

La Liga... well... look at all the titles spanish sides have won the past decade. Incredible

[wswanderersfc]

i dont support a bundelesliga team but i watch it as much as possible, & imo they are the best league in the world, the have a fair comp, they do well in Europe and tactically they are amazing.

[luisenrique]

Sevilla didn't win a single away game ALL SEASON and yet they came and spanked Liverpool in the 2nd half. I know Liverpool were a bit unlucky in the first half but you can see even with the quality of play, Spanish football is so far ahead still. Some of Sevilla's passing was amazing, most notably for the 2nd goal.
