Perhaps but Athletico have a gang and a managerial team of them.

I think Jurgen should let it be known he's contacted Real  with suggestions as to City's weak points.

Yes, near Sevilla. I guess before moving here I assumed that both Real Madrid and Barcelona would be fairly evenly hated by everyone that didn't support either club, and/or live in Madrid or Barcelona, but it's the latter that people can't stand. People are sick of regional issues being ignored because the "more than a region" cunts are cry arsing about something or another every single day. They've basically managed to unite the rest of the country quite well in some respects. 

 

I remember back when Rajoy sent the police in to batter the people on the streets of Catalonia I thought politically this is utterly suicidal. Catalan politicians did very well to make themselves the bad guys in the aftermath of that.

 

 

Madrid as a city is just too big for me. Spain does have some fucking brilliant smaller cities. San Sebastian, Valencia, Salamanca, and Cordoba, for example.

I've been to loads of good places in Spain, Madrid, Seville, Valencia, Bilbao and San Sebastian - oh and once to la coruna to watch the reds. I love Spain, the only place I've not loved is Barcelona and I think it's alright there. 

 

I can see why everyone would be fucked off with them. And in football terms, it would make me laugh if they got kicked out of the Spanish league if they went independent, although that would obviously never happen.

Beaches are shite though. 

 

Cadiz > Malaga.

 

Malaga's main plus is the microclimate. It's 25 degrees all year round.

Check out some more of the coast to the West (Cadiz and Huelva), when you have time obviously. You can't guarantee the weather, and it's occasionally fucking windy, but the beaches are great. Cadiz is more touristy, but mainly Spanish tourists. Huelva is quieter. It's less "fashionable" than Cadiz, but consequently you can have most of a beach to yourself outside of peak season.

 

Have you ever been to Ronda? Must be about 40/50 miles West of Malaga (and inland). Be a decent day trip.

 

Hope the weather's nice for you, mate. It almost certainly will be.

Only driven past Ronda when we were staying in Grazalema , didn't get a chance to visit as we had a baby in tow at the time .

Winter break. You may have heard it mentioned once or twice in the last couple of weeks.

Genuine question. 

 

If we’re not playing due to the winter break, why are other teams?

It's staggered.  Five games this weekend - five next weekend.  Each club gets at least 1 week off.

 

 

[Lascaille]

The winter break is staggered over 2 weekends because £££.

Yeah.  As Richie said above it's all to do with money - can't interrupt the Premier League cash cow.

You say that like it’s a good thing.

[dockers_strike]

Now the Premier League has a 'winter break,' you watch next season UEFA or FIFA will schedule some fucking meaningless internationals because there's a 'gap' in the calendar.

 

Of course I know they cant but it wouldnt surprise me at all if they tried.
