    More importance went to what the architects could do behind the scenes and to the outside. Cost is €250 million

    How? It's bloody huge already. And why? They only fill it for big games.

    The majority of the new work is being done to the outside of the Nou Camp (extra bars, shops, vendors) and apparently a lot more of the ground will be under roof. Part of the tender process was that the "idea and shape" of the ground couldn't be changed.

    I'd guess the extra 10,000 seats are so that it will top wembley to become Europe's biggest ground again

    Wembley only seats 90,000.

    They obviously figured it'd be worth making another 6 or 700,000 euro out of each of the 6 or 7 games they sell out, say 4.5mill a year.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    The way Valencia are going, Wednesday could be their penultimate la liga game at the Mestalla.
    2 points off the drop and a worse goal difference than all their fellow strugglers with games against Zaragoza and Atletico to come.

    I'd be gutted as the brothers team are going there in September and getting very well looked after.

    Isn't La Liga decided on head to head results though if teams are level on points?

    Correct. And it's a much better system IMO

    I do not agree with that rule, a league is a head to head against all teams not one, it is unfair in that respect.

    I just think that it is unfair if you are level on points with a team that you have beaten twice but they finish ahead of you perhaps because they have a prolific striker in their ranks and your team doesn't or because they played gretna after they self-destructed etc.

    To me it just seem natural that if 2 teams are level the separating criteria goes:

    1. Head to head
    2. Goal difference
    3. Goals scored (even though this is unfair on defensive teams)
    4.... corner kicks


    Question: Do away goals come into a head to head? Say for example you draw 1-1 at home and 2-2 away will your team be ahead (I wouldn't really like that now).

    Yes.

    Barcelona scored for fun last year, but Real beat them 5-3 on aggregate, and that was the only thing that mattered.

    Just spotted that there, away goals counting in a league, surely that is wrong.

    I don't get this, it sounds like there only upgrading there existing stadium right?..... just the wording ''new stadium'' points to a what the words state?
    There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D

    It also counts in the CL. Hence why Liverpool needed to score 3 times against Olympiakos. A 2-1 win would have been a 2-2 aggregate, and Olympiakos would have qualified on that basis.
