Didn't even realise spanish teams have ultras. Not any significant size groups anyway. Just a small group who need a drum and a megaphone to make noise. Nothing as good as the Stretford end anyway.
Never heard a Spanish team with an away support as good as Uniteds either. Let alone come to OT in knockout round and make themselves heard. Madrid were the last I remember and they didn't make a peep. Uniteds fans will travel wherever and whenever to follow their club.
Its all about opinion but English fan culture is better Spanish fan culture in my view.

Must still hold it in. Until 23 PM....
Really? So what have the majority of the clubs fighting against these last few years?
Well you brought it up and I was diagreeing with the fact we don't see games like that in the PL.
How are the likes of Nicola Sansone and Roberto Soriano doing for Villarreal? I saw Sansone has 7 goals / 3 assists in La Liga at the moment.
Also, who are Sevilla's standout players this season?

It's all good man. It would be better if I didn't say anything at all. We're all a bit touchy when this topic comes up!

not a man but all is good That's amazing. It's incredible that many leagues still refuse to use goal line technology. I guess they love a bit contraversy in Spain, Real Madrid needs to win the title from time to time too.
Close, no wonder it wasn't given, not even sure goal line technology would have caught it, fractions!
The body of the player is covering the lineman's view. It's not an easy decision.
It wouldn't be if the player's entire body wasn't in the goal too.
From the linesman point of view you can't really tell if the player's foot is behind the line or not even if the body is inside the goal. I know I would be pissed too if a decision like that went against my team and Barça fans have every right to complain.
Sevilla have a player sent off in the first minute of the game against Espanyol and concede a penalty. Madness 
Jose Antonio Reyes converts.

I am watching the match with some sevillistas that are already complaining about being robbed. I think that very strict red card...and Reyes scores...
What a weekend for Madrid, after all this I guess that we will get some dodgy penalty

Very harsh red card, given the new laws regarding "triple jeapardy".
We lost it two weeks ago at Villarreal.
Great goal Jovetic. 1-1
Do they apply in La Liga? Was it a FIFA thing or an EPL change?
Such a bunch of bedwetters. Lost the league in January with a team like that.
I actually find it strange that Barcelona have been robbed over several weeks, penalties not given, goals that have crossed the line I think there's been two.
And Suarez and Neymar not performing too, shocking.

It's an IFAB thing (the determine the laws of Football) so applies evrywhere.
The IFAB is comprised of FIFA, the English FA, the Scottish FA, the Welsh FA and the Irish FA. FIFA gets 4 votes, the othre 4 members get 1 each. Any changes need to get 6 votes (meaning FIFA need to vote for any change but they can't change anything on their own).
2 points behind with one game more played was hardly out of reach.
The Spanish game being corrupt and favouring Real Madrid is indeed strange.
Do not let the referee screwjob distract you from how shite we are.
We literally get outplayed by any organized side these days.

So you're saying Mestalla game this season didn't happen, or Real Sociedad away daylight robbery when their player was 3 meters onside, or el classico where we were robbed for a clear penalty and Barca scored their only goal from offside?
Or that just doesn't count in your head?
Espanyol 3-1 . Very difficult for Sevilla with 10 from the first minute
Edit: never mind my reply here ! I read it completely wrong.
Sevilla's unreal winning streak is coming to an end. A difficult away game to begin with, but I expected 3p.
But start of the game set its tone. Being 1 man down already before first 5 min, with a penalty against, gave us an unnecessary uphill slope. All cred to Espanyol, who were sharper when it came to the final execution in the attacks.
Sucks that Sevilla could not take advantage on Barca's dropped points, and put more pressure on Real Madrid. But I believe we stood up well despite 10 men, and had our chances to have a 2-1 lead.
Look forward for next week, and hopefully starting a new winning streak.

Argh Seville! Real are celebrating now!
Athletic 2- Sporting 1. Sporting played a decent match and started scoring but Athletic had enough with a good second half. I feel a bit sorry for them but on the other hand Deportivo is in a bad situation too so would be good if Osasuna, Granada and Sporting lose all the possible points.
Ref ruined the game for me. Sevilla got screwed. red card and a penalty in the first minute. Penalty should have been enough that early in the game. Complete overreaction.
There always seems to be loads of bookings in Spanish games. Is it that they are dirty or do your refs just hand cards out for nothing incidents?
Iñaki Williams with another master-class performance
Let´s see how Bernabéu treat Benzema and Danilo...
I don´t think that players are especially violent or dirty, I think that the referees use too much the cards
He seems to be coming back to form, which is good.Iñaki Williams with another master-class performance
It's pretty much the same with distances in Germany, and nevertheless the fans from every club go to away games in the thousands. Only advantage we have is no speed limit, but that makes only sense in the eastern half of the country. 16 of 18 clubs are further away then 4 hours drive from where i live. So that for once can't be the reason. Apart from that, almost no games in Spain overall are sold out. Half empty stadiums everywhere. If you wanna call that great fans, well good for you.
