La Liga

I'll admit the EPL is hands down the best league from top to bottom, but the race to the finish in La Liga has been frickin fantastic. And I'd pit any of Spain's Top 4 up against Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, or Arsenal any day.

Real Madrid comes back from a 3-1 deficit to beat Espanyol today, 4-3, and for the time being takes a 1 point advantage over Barca...who needs to beat Real Betis tomorrow to regain a 2 point lead. 3rd place Sevilla also won to keep pace:

After Saturday:
  1. Real Madrid 66 pts
  2. Barcelona 65 (1 game in hand)
  3. Sevilla 64
Only 4 weeks left. If you're interested in La Liga, I've found a pretty kick ass site (in English) that gives you the complete low down...and it's much better than Fox's Spanish section:

Ray Hudson watch: he said "orgasm" again today (said in Butthead voice)

Tomorrow morning, it's back to Piper's Pub for salmon boxtys and the West Ham / Man U match. Yeah ber ber.
