Village Idiot Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 i like that new la liga studio from sky sports You ever watch Revista de la Liga? They're in some kind of mock up Spanish bar now with sound loops of talking and plate clattering in the background, it looks stupid. Oohhhh... I need to catch that and get pissed off with all the slightly pejorative Spanish clichés. Plus "Revista de la liga" has a very 1960s ring to it, nobody would use this expression nowadays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 The Chelsea - Inter game is on Tuesday right? Yezzir Good stuff, wouldn't have liked to miss that. i like that new la liga studio from sky sports You ever watch Revista de la Liga? They're in some kind of mock up Spanish bar now with sound loops of talking and plate clattering in the background, it looks stupid. Saw that, wasn't sure if it was just a one-off. Yeah I wasn't sure either. But they were making jokes half way through about the set up and background chat to suggest it wasn't a real bar so I made the assumption they wouldn't have that all set up for 1 show. they did one in barca for el classico Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Incidentally, who decided that Guillem Balagué has a f***ing clue about anything related to Spanish football? Nobody, absolutely nobody takes him seriously in Spain Guy's quite smart though, he is the "Spanish football expert" when working in the UK, and the "English football expert" when working in Spain. And is usally full of shit when talking of both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody, absolutely nobody takes him seriously in Spain He seems to make up absolutely everything he says. His 'insider' information just changes completely from week to week. His opinions on players and genuine football understanding seems okay though, atleast when put in comparison with English pundits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He usually writes 50% of the time about Liverpool, the other 50% being stupidly obvious stuff "Rooney is having a great season", or just copy-pasted from your media. He is also one of the main engines behind the Liverpool love-in in our media, which I utterly despise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Not much actually, a couple pages in our sport rags, usually shared with Serie A/Bundesliga stuff.

Have in mind that Barça/Madrid info usually takes up around 50% of the things. Their online editions have more coverage, particularly Marca. is marca basically a real madrid paper? Yes. All major sport rags in Spain are partisan to either Barça or Madrid. It used not to be that way, but in the 1980s one of them (Barcelona's Diario Sport), changed its editorial line to a clear pro-Barça one and increased its sales dramatically. All Spanish sport papers followed suit the following years. Marca, however, has the best coverage of them all. It's still irritatingly partisan, but it's the paper neutrals buy because they have pretty good coverage of other la liga teams and sports (the Barcelona papers are better for Catalan teams, though).
