It doesn't matter, they are not as good as Barca anyway. Especially with the acquisition of Villa. Villa to Barca = a sad day in Spanish football IMO.

I hate that Villa went to Barca but I'm not surprised. I love Villa though... him and Silva are my favourite Spanish players. No more using Valencia on FIFA and PES now  |

I would agree however I still think Barca are still to strong. Also, La Liga, currently in 3 billion pounds worth of debt!
--Abidal--Puyol--Piqué--Alves--
---Fabregas--Xavi--Iniesta-----
------Zlatan--Villa--Messi-------
Lol.

Lol yeah the team isn't bad hahaha. This time last year I thought La Liga would be better than the Premiership, and now I don't think so. Sure some of the best players in the world are in La Liga... but they only play for two fucking teams lol. The Premiership was far more exciting this season and way more competitive.

I honestly thought Mourinho would be the next boss of Man U when Ferguson retires, but I guess not.

Tiger, 100% agreed. This year was great. Had Chelsea/United playing off for 1/2. You had Arsenal who had 3rd locked up for quite a while however were put under pressure by Tottenham. 4th was all up in the air with the aforementioned Spurs, City and even Villa and Liverpool gunning for it for the second half of the season.
EPL > La Liga.

I honestly thought Mourinho would be the next boss of Man U when Ferguson retires, but I guess not. I still think he might. But he wants to win a title in La Liga. He's always said it's his main ambition to win in the Premiership, La Liga and Serie A. La Liga is the only one left. Fergie's not retiring yet though, and will probably be around for a couple more years. If Mourinho wins in La Liga this coming season or next, maybe he'll end up taking over from Fergie. Nobody knows who will really take over from Fergie, but I'd like it to be Mourinho. I think Fergie's first choice is David Moyes though. |

EPL > La Liga. Arsenal were in the race for the title until only a few weeks from the end though before they slipped back. I'm happy Spurs broke into the top 4, disappointed in Liverpool to be honest, but also very glad that Man City didn't make it into the top 4. Teams like Man City and Real Madrid don't deserve success just because of buying power. They have to earn it, and I'm glad it's not been one season turnarounds for both teams. |

Agreed. Also Tiger, name your preferred England starting XI for the World Cup...Not what you think it will be (ie. Hesey may very well start), but what you'd prefer it to be. For me...
First XI
-----------------Hart------------------
--Johnson--Terry--Ferdinand--Cole--
-Lennon--Gerrard--Lampard--Barry-
------------Rooney--Defoe
Second XI
-----------------Green----------------
-Carragher--King--Upson--Warnock-
---Milner--Carrick--Cole--Johnson---
-----------Crouch---Heskey-----------
The only subs I'd be using from the second XI would be King, Milner, Cole and the two strikers...and maybe Adam Johnson.

Can't believe Benty didn't get picked. Yeah I know. There are actually goalkeepers who have better goalscoring records than Heskey lol. Bent scored 25 goals or something in the Premiership this season. Ah well... Heskey really does bring out the best in Rooney and Rooney is key. |

I'm more gutted Walcott got shafted off the team by SWP. I like both players, but wouldn't have dropped either of them.
