Pace`s Espanyol win again at Getafe to solidify 5th place in La Liga.Can we do a loan deal for their manager please?

Sky always talk up the PL as the best in the world but is it really? I do not follow La Liga so I don’t know the standard. It seems to me that as the PL keeps bringing in foreign players in favour of the British product, other leagues/teams can’t be that bad.

I watch it all the time Sc and I think it’s just as good if not better I have been to half a dozen different grounds and the atmosphere is fantastic.

Technically yes maybe - but it’s not played at the pace the premier league is not a chance

So is it as good the answer is no it’s not.

Only about 6 sides in Spain good enough for the Premier league, they just don't have the physicality to compete in a competitive league like we have.

Messi wouldn't have been the player he was if he had to play in a league like the Premier league, he only played a dozen hard games a season our top lads play 50.

The English pyramid system is envied world wide, it is the best and nothing else is anywhere near it

The Real Madrid third team would piss League 1, this blind patriotic sentiment is bonkers.

Very bold statement that BT, Real Madrid Second Team are only 4th in their division in Spanish football and that is the third division --Primera Federacion 1.
Their 3rd team (actually their Second Reserves team) plays in Segunda Federacion Group 5 and are currently in 14 th place in a league containing 18 teams.
I really think that you have done a disservice to League One players, in fact, you could probably include League Two in that.

From Clitheroe to Blackburn Rovers to Pace’s Espanyol.

I remember him at Clitheroe, he wasn't there long and if I remember right he wasn't even a regular starter, he usually came off the bench. It was no big deal at the time, academy players from Championship clubs are ten a penny at Clitheroe's level.

Good luck to the lad.
