Stickied Spanish Football

[mistermagic]

I'm not trying to be funny or anything it's just your making a lot of points that make no sense at all, there's no substance behind them.

I know. I just find most European leagues quite underwhelming but just can't find the facts to back that up. Maybe I'm too demanding with my football.

You're right. I have ballsed that up. Didn't read it back. But still, like I said you can pick particular time frames to suit your argument. In a debate on which is stronger you've gone back 22 years. Why? If you'd gone one further there'd have been another English team for th Prem list. Equally you could have just gone back to 03/04 to still get 5 English sides, and 1 less Spanish. You seem to have deliberately chosen a stretch of time that allows for the longest spell of 5 prem winners before hitting number 6. Why bother? Or is that mere coincidence?

It wasn't me that posted that, just to be clear. La Liga is the league that I enjoy watching most (followed by the A League so quality isn't exactly a concern for me) but I wouldn't try to claim it's the best league in the world, that all comes down to personal preference and what the individual wants to see, I enjoy watching attacking teams go at it hence why I enjoy these 2 leagues in particular.

You're right with what you say, anybody can cherry pick facts and figures to suit an argument.

You don't need facts to back anything up, people enjoy football for various different reasons and watch what suits them, a lot of people don't venture beyond their native leagues.

Who would've thought Real Madrid would be battling for Champions League qualification rather than the title? It's beautiful.

Coutinho gets his first goal for Barca thats looking to settle the CdR semi against Valencia. Set up by... Suarez.

 

[Lionel Messi]

A beautiful goal

Suarez and Coutinho continue to have a special connection!

Villarreal player on attempted murder charges!

[JimJams]

Pfffft, "attempted".

 

[Stevencc]

Griezmann to Barcelona.

 

[JimJams]

Messi does not approve apparently...

I cant believe Carrasco has gone to fucking China, and for 26mill. Madness that nobody here was interested.

Madrid beaten by those Espanyol clowns. Lovely.

 

[epic73]

Espanyol have now beaten both Madrid teams and Barca.

Clowns?

 

[epic73]

Clowns?

Saltire is a Barcelona native.

 

[SALTIRE]

Clowns?

Their fans are fools

 

[mistermagic]

Their fans are fools

Why?

 

[Stevencc]

I'm guessing because they are seen as being against Catalan independence.

Saltire is still torn up about his own country voting against Scottish independence.

Their comments before the last derby were pathetic. A small club with small-minded fools as supporters.

Don't judge all of them by comments from some of them. Even Liverpool has some "small minded fools" as supporters (not you of course)

 

[SALTIRE]

600 goals from Messi now, and this one looks to have sealed the title.

 

[Lionel Messi]

The greatest club footballer of all time

Torres leaving Atletico at the end of the season due to lack of first-team action. He's not been the same since he signed for Chelsea

Does the article mention Dr. Fuentes?

Sky Sports loses @LaLigaEN rights in UK to Eleven Sports which is run by Leeds owners Andrea Raddrizzani

Iniesta's last game tonight, and he was pulling out all the tricks. What a player, man, and legend.

 

[epic73]

Got him in FIFA as well and sold him for a bit. True hero.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Nothing confirmed, but reports are that Zinedine Zidane is resigning from Real Madrid.

 

[Benji]

Lampard will be kicking himself.

I wonder if Wenger will go there? Could be interesting if he does. He is always described as the type of manager who just allows players to express themselves on the pitch without much interference which may suit them. The Madrid players famously disliked Rafa trying to actually coach them.
