This thread is hilarious

Watching you both trying to have a serious discussion about Spanish football without it descending into a fight

It's like watching Bambi On Ice, you're never quite sure if the next post will bring chaos

    - why.........? (NCFC) - Cheltenham_Canary, Nov 22, 12:29:00
      - Well, outside of the top two, you actually get fans at Spanish games. (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Nov 22, 12:31:09
        
        True. ALso their other teams are decent, like Athletico winning the UEFA last year. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:32:02
        
        Guardiola raised the bar with the current Barca team. Real (I think) (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:39:32
        
        Why aren't they challenged more, are they both that much better? (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:41:56
        
        Power I think (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:48:05
        
        It's a shame because I think it's a better style of football on display in their league. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:50:49
        
        My simplistic reasoning for this, is contracts (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:57:41

        Not at all. We're just having a discussion. I didn't want to start it off not because of (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 13:04:43
        
        Whether or not I'm totally right or wrong about the contract/loyalty thing (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 13:29:07
    - I think La Liga has better quality throughout thatn jockland. But the gap is wide, just th (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:28:25
      - If Scottish players were good enough for La Liga, they'd be playing there (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:34:12
        
        Yep, the overall standard is streets ahead of the scotch league. (n/m) (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:36:48
        
        I think what's happening in Scotland is good for their game (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:42:02
        
        It's very poorly supported in the main. Another reason why they want to join the prem. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:47:49
        
        I'd hate it (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:49:37
        
        I think it's all going to financially implode in the not too distant and we'll go back to (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:51:40
  - Seems like it's only going to get worse too (NCFC) - yarmyyarmy, Nov 22, 12:25:10
    - Was going to mention this, but I don't really know how the tv deal in spain is distributed (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 12:31:28
      - I think that's what we do right in the prem, the TV money is fairly split. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:34:02
        
        In a digital era. I really think it's time to blow the whole thing open (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 13:32:33
        
        Trouble is tho that Man U's legions of fans would enable them to earn a bigger slice of (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 13:33:53
        
        Oh true yeah (NCFC) - pants, Nov 22, 13:44:30
    - Aren't both Real Madrid and Barcelona in horrendous amounts of debt too. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:26:21
  - True, bit like the Prem, it's close at the moment but will either be Man U or Chelski. (NCFC) - jafski, Nov 22, 12:25:08
