Wow, Real Madrid getting demolished. I will say that La Liga has destroyed the EPL this week in entertainment.
So one team steamrolling the other is boring if it's the EPL but fantastic entertainment if it's the La Liga? OK.
Was out all day yesterday celebrating Nzap... WHAT A WEEKEND FOR ME!
That and was working on a paper.
My thoughts on the game are in the Liga thread, in case anyone wanted to read them.
AS far as Rafa goes, well Perez doesn't like to sit idle when Madrid lose, either buy a big name player or change coaches or both. Luckily for Barca, there was really no upgrade on Carlo when they fired him Klopp wasn't available and I doubt he'd go there anyway. Rafa is also Spanish which probably influenced his decision.
It's actually the other way around.
That's funny Hesher, because I am one of the more outspoken posters here about EPL and La Liga. I would rather watch Leicester City vs Newcastle than Getafe CF vs Rayo in La Liga. I do consider the EPL the more "entertainment" league, but not this week. And I still stand by that.So one team steamrolling the other is boring if it's the EPL but fantastic entertainment if it's the La Liga? OK.
As I said to Hesher, I prefer EPL over BBVA a lot of the times, but I didn't enjoy United/Watford, I didn't enjoy seeing Arteta on the piitch in West Brom, and the Liverpool game was so boring that it was already over. At least in the El Clasico, there was superb goal scoring opportunities after it was 4-0 in the 85th minute. Neymar was brilliant to watch (I hate him, but breathtaking). Who the hell am I going to watch in City/Pool? Klopp's smile? A broken Aguero? An old man Yaya? KdB was the only one that seemed interested to still compete, you had reds for Real Madrid in the later minutes of the match showing a rivalry against each other.Great game at Watford, West Brom beating Arsenal, Liverpool smashing City at City, Swansea-Bournemouth great game.
Also Leicester is leading the BPL.
I repeat, Leicester is leading the BPL.
When a big team is destroying a small team it's boring no matter what league (unless it's your team doing the destroying ).
United were incredibly **** after the Schweinsteiger substitution. They were average at best even before that sub but those 30 or so minutes after were awful. Europa league here we come.
Fellaini should never ever be allowed to be passed to unless he's in the box and he's heading it in.
He was clearly our 2nd worst player despite playing only 30 minutes.
