....meanwhile, at the exact same time on one of Skys other sports channels Real Madrid beat Getafe 3-2 in the most remarkable match I've seen all season - it had everything! Madrid trailing 1-2 late on. Guti scores a sublime free kick to make it 2-2, then in a moment of madness Pepe assaulted a couple of Getafe players giving away a peno in the process. Which of course was saved by Casillas (btw worst peno ever!). Deep in injury time 10 man Madrid score the winner courtesy of Higuain, an absolute rocket into the top corner. FANTASTIC STUFF:)

He actually got off pretty light so. Most mental sending off I've seen in ages.

saw it on youtube, geat stuff.

Of course the EPL is one of the most compelling leagues in the world but for Tyler to talk in such absolute terms is nonsense. I was thinking when he said it of the recent Madrid derby on SKY which was thrilling end to end high tempo stuff.

In fairness the atmosphere at Anfield was amazing but Anfield is a special place. OT was like morgue the following night and other countries like Gemany & Spain have really good fan culture too.
