That shows that the rest of the league is a lot more competitive than it has been a long time. Every team can beat any other in the league.

Nah, your bigger teams have just been shit and Kyro said the rest of La Liga is shit, how come you had such a hard time vs Valencia they deserved to win at home.

I fucking wonder...

Carrick played, he'd been shite all season and might have just only come back.

Berbatov played up front on his own- has never worked for us.

Anderson was just getting back from a serious knee injury.

Ferdinand was just back from injury.

Rooney didn't play.

How come we smashed them at OT then? We should have scored around 5

You act as if Valencia were full strength... I remember Mata not playing, Soldado not playing... and I wouldnt be surpised if other starters didnt either, that game was a dead rubber.

I disagree. As a Liverpool fan I can realistically say I'm a neutral this season as far as the title race goes. I sure as fuck don't find it more interesting watching United, Chelsea etc play poorly. How is having 4 teams playing below their ability competiting for the league better than having 2 teams playing to their maximum competiting.

It's not enjoyable watching Chelsea and United playing shit, it leads to shit matches...upsets or not.

Our game against Villa at Villa Park.. probably the best game I've seen this season. And it was probably our worst performance. The entire second half was end to end stuff, most of the game was tbh.

In La Liga you might as well play two matches between Madrid and Barca and whoever win over 2 legs win the league.

Kyro, you're better than that.

Tbh, it's pretty much right. It's usually the case, whoever wins the "mini league", in England it's usually United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, in Spain it's Barca and Madrid, wins the title.

Anyone that has a bit of football knowledge would know that it's between Chelsea and United. You don't seem to have it.

That's why Chelsea is in 4th almost halfway through the season. But you're the one with all the football knowledge.

Fine then, we weren't full strength at the Mestalla. They weren't full strength at Old Trafford. Happy?

And even at the Mestalla, they didn't create that many chances that worked Van der Sar

I think if Barcelona done Madrid home and away, they'd win the league and the same the other way round.

Then like I said before, probably just done to a difference of views. I don't find the premiership style of play as enjoyable when teams are playing at their best, so it's understandable I find it boring as anything when teams are playing below that.

Chelsea are 4th because they've been in poor form. Also quite a few injuries. Once they get in a "good" form again they'll walk away with United.

Neither team did, if memory serves me right, that game was downright terrible.

They weren't full strength at Mestella either, no Banega. R.Costa, Joaquin etc.

Banega's arguably their best CM on his day.

Both games weren't exactly classics no. But over the 2, I'd say we were the better team. We took 4 points to their 1, and created more chances, and made their keepers work more.

As a neutral, you go into pretty much every single Madrid and Barca game pretty much knowing they're gonna grab all the points. That's fun?

I'm going to play the game you guys play, the number 1 in England had trouble with the number 4 in Spain atm.

Depends what you want. Do you want impressive displays of massive dominance or some parity so that a doubt and drama come into play?

Yes, because the football on show as a standalone game(Barca more so) is exceptional.

Watching good football is fun.

I just want to watch good football when it comes to a team that isn't my own.

I'd agree with that, and as a La Liga fan for over a decade, I hope the new rumored TV deal gives the other teams that extra bit of cash to compete, because as it's been shown in the past La Liga teams don't need massive amounts of money to compete with Madrid and Barcelona.

Makes the league boring and predictable, especially after 09/10.

But thats not the point, that iPepe is denying that La Liga isn't a 2 team league at the moment, and he's going on about a bunch of random shit like how Real and Barca are the best teams in the world. Really confusing trying to argue with that guy, he just goes way off topic and turns the debate into a different topic.

How am I changing the debate? You guys tend to go on about now, then the history, you lost the history argument then go on about now again.

You brought up the whole 'history' thing. Now i'm confused as hell and dunno what the fuck your talking about because i don't know La Liga's histroy, i was talking about La Liga in 09/10 and this season.
