Re: Back in the swing
I know the part must of us would like...
The problem, for me at least, resides less in the financial disparity than in the attitude of some of the bigger clubs to the game in general. At the risk of attracting a flood of abuse, I was almost tempted to leave Anoeta at half-time on Saturday. I'm eternally glad that I didn't, but Barcelona's version of tiki-taka that they sometimes export to away stadiums is really a version of anti-football, undignified in its complete disregard for the spectator and for the opposition, it has to be said. As one Basque journalist put it, the gilifutbol of Barcelona (hard to translate - ask a Spanish-speaking friend) will lose them friends, and will play into the Bernabeu's hands.

Re: Back in the swing
Great article, some fans may not like the truth about barca but they play 'anti-football' quite often just like every other team. No one can sustain playing attractive football week in week out, not even them barca. Jokes on them for not starting there main players against Sociedad though. Also other teams should take not from both Sociedad and Getafe, going down doesn't mean you are out, whether its 1, 2 or 3 goals down!
