La Liga - 2014/15

Just caught the score on the BBC website. This is why I don't want any La Liga match that doesn't involve two of Real/Atletico/Barcelona, and after El Classicrap 2015, I doubt I'll even bother with those in the future.
Ok bye now
 
Granada have been utterly horrible but it's a little sad..
 
Ronaldo could have had 7 today. :lol:
 
What the feck is the defender even trying to do there??
 
Stat - this is the 15th game this season that either Madrid or Barca have scored 5 goals or more in a La Liga game. That's more than 25% of all games played by the two teams.

In over 300 games played in England this season involving 600 teams, only 7 teams have scored 5 or more in a game (City once, Arsenal once, Chelsea twice, Spurs once, Southampton once, Leicester once).

By no means is there a majority of games in Spain that are not competitive, but there are definitely far too many. It's tiresome from a nuetral perspective - I suppose it's different if you're a Barca/Madrid fan.


So what, they score more... does it really matter whether a game finished 4-0 or 5-0? Also for reasons outlined by @jojojo (GD not mattering so much) it's less of a concern for teams. RM and Barça also routinely score more goals in the CL than English sides.
 
Lovely step over from Modric and then a lovely ball wide to Marcelo, who's in 40 yards of space on the wing. This is embarrassing for Granada, they're not even pretending to try any more.
 
They score 8 to Granada, a team that is fighting relegation but I think that they could do the same to some more competitive team in P.L @Gee Male
 
The "La Liga is a two team league" crowd must have been so pissed off when Atletico won the title.
 
Who cuts Ronaldo's hair by the way? A 7 year old, blind kid with a few missing fingers?
It looks like the Borg have assimilated him into their collective.

The "so what" part of your post is what I'm trying to get to here. It's quite important - maybe not so much if you're a Madrid or Barca fan, or someone tuning in just to see some goals and be entertained, but for anyone that gives even a casual feck about the state of any club outside the top 5 or so, it's quite important.

Have Spain sorted out their TV rights stuff yet? Now that games are stretched from morning to night, is there more money for clubs outside the top 2?
 
Bale didn't need to go down then.
 
9-1 Oh, well. Madrid needed to cheer themselves up. Getting cruel now though.
 
Don't think it was a dive. At that speed it won't take much contact to take you down.
 
Bad day for the haters I guess. Altough they will still say he played shit, dived, only scored tap ins, etc...

He could have easily avoided that, but chose to leave his left leg behind. Was a dive if you ask me.
 
Celebrating his goal like it was the winner in the CL final

It's 9-1 Ronnie, I think it's in the bag

I'm not saying they couldn't, but my point is more re the state of the Spanish league as opposed to the quality of the top 2 and how good they'd be elsewhere.

I mean - look at that last goal from Ronaldo and look at the defending. Look at the defending of both of Benzema's goals. It's laughable. To me at least, this isn't watching football - it's a turkey shoot. Any professional team conceding 9 goals in a game should be having a serious look at themselves.
 
Worst performance from a defence ever.

Messi and Ronaldo are no doubt the best two players on the planet, but you could place any PL mediocre striker in a Barca/Madrid side and they'd become one of the best forwards on the planet.
