    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...

    One side dominating then, as Barca have only won it once in 5 years so clearly they aren't dominating? Re-read what you have written, that isn't a bloody typo. You've written 2 and then further referenced the 2 sides on a further 2 occasions!

    Well that's a poorly researched post!! Please see the past 5 winners of La Liga listed below and keep in mind that Atletico Madrid have been in 2 CL Finals in the last 5 years, Barca have been in 1 and Real Madrid have been in 3. So, which TWO sides are you referring to as being particularly...

    Alaves were ahead at Camp Nou on Sunday until the 72nd minute, they may have ultimately lost the game but i'd say that's a decent effort. Barca (and Real on their day) can beat Europe's elite by 4 or 5 goals comfortably so of course they can beat La Liga sides by these scorelines, it doesn't...

    La Liga certainly isn't 'bollocks' it has been the superior league in the world for many years! One thing you rarely see in La Liga is sides that look to shut up shop even against the big guns which is why you see 5-0 wins and the like, teams in Spain attack which generally makes games exciting...

    Was a cracking game between City & Jets yesterday, managed to catch extended highlights last night. Victory v Sydney this morning, wish they'd stop scheduling these massive games midweek so I can't watch them!

    All-time Premier League XI by club

    Your tactical knowledge doesn't appear to be too clever if i'm honest, all I see in this post is pace, pace, pace! Do you play Fifa much? It's the sort of warped logic that Fifa has instilled in the brains of kids all over the world! Football is about more than just running fast! You should know...

    All-time Premier League XI by club

    Woodgate had one season there hence why I left him out, think the others are more deserving to be honest.

    All-time Premier League XI by club

    Newcastle fans will probably have different opinions on this, to be honest there's quite a bit of choice... GK - Shay Given DF - Warren Barton DF - Phillipe Albert DF - Steve Howey DF - John Beresford MF - Nobby Solano MF - Gary Speed MF - Rob Lee MF - David Ginola ST - Andy Cole ST - Alan...

    Villa Park- Aston Villa FC Ground Guide

    I go to Villa a few times a season on account of my immediate family all being Villa fans, I don't understand the placement of the away fans, surely if they are going to be down the side then closer to the Holte End would be better in terms of generating an atmosphere given the the Holte Upper...

    Melbourne City v Newcastle Jets this morning, huge game! City are soaring at the moment and scoring for fun and Jets need to bounce back from defeat to Phoenix in the last round but in general they score for fun too. Bring on the goals!! Budzinski starting again for City after his brace last...

    Losing at home to Leganes last night and exiting the Copa Del Rey isn't exactly going to help Zidane's cause haha What a week for Barca on that front, 3 of the most serious contenders for the cup crashing out. Can't see Valverde taking many risks tonight.

    Everything you say here clarifies my point, Zidane should have freshened things and kept this side motivated. They've gone from world beaters to being.bang average yet it's the exact same side, the manager has to take responsibility for that. There's only so long previous accomplishments can...

    Kevin Nolan thinks VAR use should be controlled by managers

    There will always be varied opinions in football it's part of the game really and gives people talking points but for me VAR is a positive introduction, I watch the A League week in week out and it does correct a fair few errors. Officials have an impossible job so any assistance they can be...

    Fair play to Swansea, starting to pick up points lately and making a fight of it. Should be a good battle down there this year, just 6 points separating the bottom 10, anybody could go down!

    Kevin Nolan thinks VAR use should be controlled by managers

    So Kevin Nolan thinks the best way to use VAR is to let managers have 1 call each where they can ask for something to be reviewed ... What is he on? How can a manager (potentially 60 or 70 yards away) be positioned better to see an incorrect call than somebody watching via a close up HD camera...

    Yes they won 2 CL's back to back, so that shows they have a winning mentality throughout the squad yet suddenly this season they don't seem hungry, there has to be underlying reasons for that. It's almost as if they gave up on La Liga months ago, which is understandable I guess. Who would you...
