    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Damn, two legends for Athletic. Shame to see them, especially Munian go. Regarding the Xavi news.... whelp I am sure that everything will be smooth and drama free. The difference between the level of admiration and respect that I had Xavi as player versus Xavi as a manager is imense.

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Huge home win in the early match for Vigo with club legend Iago at the brace. Now they are 6 points clear of Cadiz (who are yet to play). Conceivable that after the weekend is done they are in better position than Rayo (rooting that they dont go down).and Mallorca based on goal diffeence...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Isco in Madrid is simmilar to Bale in Madrid. He always felt like a disapointment despite making 246 appearances across 6 seasons for a team that won 5 UCL titles. He did not always start but was generally often used as the first guy off the bench to further spread thin the opposition...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Barca are on pace for 84 points this season. In all honesty Xavi is mostly is paying the price for how good Madrid have been in the league this season. 84 Points wins or is within 3 points of the league winner almost every year if we look past those 5 or 6 years when Real/Barca went absolutely...

    And after 8 months in charge, Rafa is gone at Celta. Wonder if he continues to be a glutton for punishment and continues to hang around for a few more seasons or if he just bows out. Hard to remember the last spell he had that was a success.

    After watching today's Copa Semi Final clash, I feel the need to shit Luis Enrique; How did this guy ever miss out on ever calling Ińaki Williams? Also.why did he never play Aspas? Enrique is a fetishist and thinks his teams should play like Pep's 2012 Barcelona side. He aways looked past...

    Shit Mallorca have won the Copa before? Totally shocked. Looking forward to watching some of today's match on replay tonight. Also, Javier Tebas made some incredibly tone deaf statements about Mason Greenwood today. Just in case anyone is looking for a reason to roll their eyes.

    Wild Winter Fun- January 2024 Transfer Window

    A few quick thoughts and questions on Hakimi. Thought - Dani Caraval has been in the best form of his career the past 12 months. Really looks like he is a player with much fresher legs. Can't see Madrid paying much of a transfer fee to get a player only on contact for 1 year to replace someone...

    A proper all Euskari Copa final with fans in the stands would be something special

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Another week and another 3 points for Real Madrid. They are on track to finish with 95points which would be 6th all time. Meanwhile at the bottom of the table there was a huge clash in Andalucia between 17th Celta and 18th Cadiz. Celta hit twice against the run of play courtesy of Spanish...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    The "Hay Liga" headlines seemed incredibly premature especially seeing that the match in hand was at San Mames. Not to take anything away from Girona but I do remember Sid Lowe talking about (I believe on his awesome podcast) that in the second half of the season that they would have a bunch of...

    As an aside, the promotion playoff picture in the Segunda is looking fascinating. 4 points separate 6th from 11th and only 5 points separate 6th from 1st. Obviously, a lot of football to be played by the end of the match day. But as a person who follows both Asturian teams closely, the B...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    Yeah Celta have played way to well this season to only be 3 points off from the drop. Not saying they should be looking at Europe or anything but they have been better than several of the clubs above them. Luckily for them, Cadiz have looked absolutely incapable of scoring since September. So...

    Return of the Galácticos? Spanish Fútbol 23-24

    A pathetic Barcelona get a completely undeserved win over Celta Vigo. They are awarded a freak pen where the foul that awards the pen is on a player whose back is towards goal cutting of an attempted clearance. Enter Lewandowski with a practically illegally taken pen that is blocked. However...

    Fernando Llorente being probably the best example of a player from Pamplona playing for Athletic. Of course that did not end well with him and the club though he was a rather prodigous goal scorer for them.

    The most shocking thing about the above is that Getafe apparently has fans... At this rate Jude may become the most popular player for Real Madrid umongst fans who do not particulary like Real Madrid. Anyways. I am certainly rooting for an Euskari Copa Final where no fans remain standing for...

    And not shockingly, Xavi has announced his intention to leave managerial post at the end of year. I never really rated him much as a coach, but it is obvious that the club's problems have little to do with his presence on the bench. I can't imagine who wants the job. Hell I think Rafa Marquez...
