The reason no one will ever tune into two shit non-Barca/Real Madrid teams is because those clubs have no fucking money. Funny how self-perpetuating that is.
Anyways, the spanish league should all be about fellating Madrid and Barcelona and making sure they win the CL rather than actually guaranteeing players get paid.
One is success at every other team in the league's financial expense, the other isn't.

The Moby Dick studios topic on the gaming side is delivering gold. Kojima is a legend.
I watch all the top 6 teams games.
I'm going to post that gif when Bayern fucks up.
How is that the Premier League's fault? How is it their fault that Chelsea and City were picked?
As opposed to your team dictating along with one other the television money for the entire country, thus affecting all the other 18 clubs in the league. That's your club deciding that and dictating that. Fuck that. Fuck that fucking oppressive nature. City dont do that, they share the money equally. Chelsea do the same.
Your fucking club are holding money back from the rest of the league. Even if no one has any interest in watching Sociedad, they should be allowed the money anyway.
What a fucking piece of shit attitude as a Liverpool fan.
I hope Bayern lift all the trophies they possibly can just so some of you can shut the fuck up with your irrational hatred of the football team.

Yes, it does have a foreigner limit. Last year it was 6 on the field at the same time but some people lobbied to have that increased *cough* Anzhi and Spartak cough* and it's now up to 7. I think you also need a u-21 Russian player on the bench(or obviously in the starting lineup). Spalletti forgot this last year and we were rewarded with a loss.
I'm not saying people don't; lots of good football to be seen. I'm saying, it's stupid to make the argument "well no one watches small clubs" when they're small and unsustainable because they have no money, because of the TV deal. It's self-perpetuating.
Clearly. Though, if it makes you feel any better, it's not just the EPL, but just about every major league in Europe that shares TV revenues.

Fuck Madrid, fuck Barca, fuck Mes Que Un Club, fuck Mourinho, fuck Ronaldo, fuck Alba, fuck Busquets, fuck Ramos, fuck Alves, fuck Ramos, fuck Pepe, fuck Xavi, fuck Pinto, fuck Atletico, fuck Malaga, fuck your TV deal, fuck your 'local academies', fuck your boardroom politics, fuck Madrid's sense of entitlement, fuck Barca's smug superiority, fuck your league-wide gamesmanship, fuck your match-ruining referees, fuck your shitty domestic cups, fuck your El Clasicos that embarass the sport, fuck La Liga, and fuck Spanish football
Theree are only a few redeeming qualities for your shitty footballing landscape
1) The national team/youth training infrastructure
2) Xabi Alonso
3) Valencia
4) Rafa Benitez
5) Alvaro Arbeloa
6) Luis Garcia
7 onwards) Other Spanish things that have positively influenced Liverpool FC
edit: Oh, Fry. Surely you can detect such sarcasm, especially when it involves a desire for Man Utd to achieve anything other than administration

Lololololololololol Wilbury is losing it
Frank the Great does make a point. When EPL ruled the CL, it was used as evidence of EPL superiority.
The big clubs in EPL dominate in other ways. If they could get the Barca / Real deal they would. Greed is greed in any form.
Why is it fair a for City to do nothing for a decade and more and then get an injection of seemingly limitless cash to buy anybody they want, with no means of generating the money themselves?
Fulham don't have that advantage. Is our league worse for it. Yes. Seems like the lesser of two evils in comparison.

There's no doubt that premier league isn't dominating at all like it used to. G-Units reasonings and arguments of course always being so fucking hilariously bad. One day I want you, Confuzis and doicare in one room talking football.
Edit : Iniesta really is only a few steps away from wearing a Ronaldinho diaper up there.

By those nebulous people. You know the ones.
It is the lesser of two evils. But La Liga has sugar daddies AND ridiculously unbalanced TV structures. Everyone else (not just EPL, but every other top league in Europe) only has to deal with one of those problems.
It's not like "buying the title" is a new phenomenon. City and co. just have deeper pockets than their predecessors.
I fucking hate this fucking pick and choose argument of 'well Clive Tydesley said England is the best so it must be tru lol'. WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT CLIVE THINKS

Oh I know that. I mean we played like shit and beat Liverpool at home 2-0 so it wouldn't shock me to see it happen again. If we score one relatively early I like our chances. The Petrovsky isn't a fun place to play for the opposition with the crowd, the cold and the shit pitch. REMUNTADA!!!

They're both terrible, but there's one huge difference.
City's advantage was pure luck, while Madrid&Barca's is systematic, unbreakable and anticompetetive. Fulham could be taken over tomorrow if somebody wished it, and they could be title contenders next season. On the other hand, Barca and Madrid will always be the most powerful teams in Spain because they are allowed to run as financial black holes, and their statuses combined with the TV money make them the constant forerunners for potential transfers, regardless of the wealth of the teams below
I dont hate yurt. I hate his team, but i dont hate him. I like the Juve fans here. They're not like the other ones.
Sviatoslav, Does Zenit have a big rivalry with CSKA? I want to buy Schennikov.

And yet people will completely ignore what you said about Fulham and just focus on City being rich now
Everyone
Blinder than Cuneyt Cakir
Well you can continue to support the Juve fans for a while, and the Remuntanda, united and datjaw
Good thing we take all the tv money to make up for it

I said they wouldn't be in the top 5 and I stand by that.
Madrid have a history of dodgy financial dealings with the Spanish Government and quite a few things they have done would be considered government interference, which if I remember correctly, got the Greek FA suspended from FIFA for a short time.
If Man U, Man City, Bayern, Juventus and AC Milan took 25% of the TV revenue from their leagues, they would all be above Barca and Madrid. Period.

Unfortunately you play in a country that sanctions clubs who spend more than they earn for too long. If only you were called Real Manchestelona...

Yeah, CSKA won't sell you Schennikov in FM.

And as we say, if my granpa had wheels he would be a shopping cart.
I agree on the origins of the imbalance. But the result is still the same. A few teams yielding power over the majority less fortunate. In Spain and England.
If Malaga's rich tycoon spread the cash like City or Chelsea they could challenge the hegemony and that deal would fall apart to include the third team.
There is no grand conspiracy here but that which remains true. The golden rule if you will. He who has the gold makes the rules.
In regards to potential transfers there is no difference. In both leagues...the first refusal goes to the big clubs. You're describing the difference between a shit sandwich and a cup of piss...(I'd take the piss, I mean EPL, it goes down a little better, won't stick to the teeth) hmmm EPL miles better then, never-mind.
Damn, Schennikov looks class. Well, I'm going to try get Logashov from Anji. He looks like a pretty good RB and he is only 20.
Also, thank fucking god the juve fans weren't here.
Plus, I like Wilde. Reverse fucking Psychology.
