Anybody but Madrid for me!!!
Real one down :D
Come on Mallorca
Barca one up too :D
Barca 3-0 up now. Would love to see Madrid **** up on title winning day:D. Van Nistelrooy subbed off by Real Madrid, guessing he's injured.
Can't get the usual Chinese tv working :( but listening to RNE.
Still Madrid 0-1 Mallorca, hilarious. Reyes on for Beckham
Bar$a 4 up.
Zaragoza blowing their Uefa spot in Huelva.
Real have just equalised. Should be a great finish. What odds Beckham to score winner?
1-1r reyes ****
Highest number in the world to 1, saying as he was subbed to bring Reyes on:p.Quote:

2-1 madrid diarra , can you believe it?
3-1, title race over!
3-1 reyes
Some trouble in Tarragona, surprised to hear there are Nastic fans who are RM sympathisers.
id say real will win it
As it stands with a few minutes left UEFA spots for Vila-Real and Zaragoza (and Getafe via the cup), Atletico miss out.
Would love to see the St. George Cross crest-wearing, pig head firing, handball-cheating, Catalunyan separatists hand the title back.Quote:

Poor Sociedad :( Hopefully straight back up to Premier Division next season
Can you imagine if Beckham had done what Reyes did yesterday?????!!!! The press would have creamed themselves. Beckham is treated as if he devised the art of crossing a football by himself.
Fantastic finish and I thoguht Real were going to regret last week's lap of honour. Sky still managed to mention Beckham every minute even after he was substituted. Well done to Real.
Lucky you don't depend on Sky News for the report. They must've dedicated about half of Sportsline to him leaving Real. The other half went to Lewis Hamilton and cricket.Quote:

Lets be honest here, if it was an Irish Man playing for Real and Setanta Sports where covering the game, Setanta sports would probably have a split screen. One side showing the game, the other side as a player cam.(I'm exaggerating to get my point across)
It is only natural a country backs there own players when playing in foreign lands. I really don't see the big deal. Certainly didn't annoy my viewing of the game in any way.
Beckham wasn't fit yesterday, you could see that. He has been in good form recently and if Van Nistlerooy played for longer, you would have seen more of Beckham and they have great link up play.
Glad to see the cheater Messi didn't win it as a result of another hand of God goal.
what about poor Celta win our game and get relegated because Betis bought their game against Santander
It's that kind of bias that disgusts me. It's not just Sky.Quote:

My point was when their showing highlights of the Spanish league they harp on about an English player who's leaving. They didn't go on about Roberto Carlos as much. :confused:
did you really expect anything else from sky after all golden balls beckham more or less won la liga on his own ... don't forget this is the same beckham 6-9 months ago the same sky sport & most papers had put him down as finished .. how quickly they change their minds :ball::ball:Quote:

Of course Sky were unbelievable biased towards Beckham and Madrid BUT in fairness to the commentator last night (and begrudgingly Armstrong) they gave 100% credit to the substitution of Beckham with Reyes. I've no doubt that if Madrid hadn't have won, they'd have pointed to that as en error but as it was they were completely fair last night.
I know they would and that would annoy me as well.Quote:

We will be back
Sky Sports are reporting that Barca are after Arsene Whinger ;). You get sacked in Spain if you're the manager of either Barca and Real if you don't win the league :eek:
No need for those last 6 words Owlsfan.
Barcelona are fairly good with managers. Van Gaal didn't win the league but wa there a while.Quote:

Sevilla played the best football in spain this year, but the league run in coupled with uefa cup run saw fatigue get the better of them, one to keep in mind next year
