Sod the Real score, the real news is we have won our last two matches 

It really is the season that keeps on giving. Can't remember another one like it in recent history. Klopp is awful but why did Liverpool pay 30m plus and just keep him on the bench?!
Watford are kind of sneaking up there as well being done on hard graft and team spirit. Bit like Leicester but they have an advantage with players that are on fire.
Christ - Real have hit double figures (10-2).
I agree with that sentiment but it is also indicative of the increased net transfer spending as well. Watford's net spend is around £19m this season which they have never gotten remotely close to before. In fact they more usually run a deficit.

Similarly The Foxes have upped the anti quite during this and last season (although Vardy was a steal) to around £20m net per season.

You would expect some return for that to be honest - although perhaps not as much as The Foxes are returning which is amazing.
With even more money already hitting the EPL it is highly likely that this situation will continue in the seasons ahead.
Against Rayo, their perennially skint tiny neighbours, I couldn't bare to watch much of it, it made me sick. It was like Barca v Levante from last season, Messi & co running around after every goal as if they'd just won the WC. Barca, RM (& Bayern) have no humility, I hope Atletico win that league.![]()
New La Liga TV deal.A product of less than egalitarian divvying up of monies between the clubs I'm afraid. Can't see it changing any time soon. Polar opposite of the EPL.
Everton, on the other hand, continue to frustrate under Martinez, playing some pretty football going forwards, although too reliant on Deulfeu providing good service to Lukaku, and why on earth Kone continues to be selected ahead of Naismith and / or Mirallas is a mystery; but when we are defending we are often calamitous, even with the supposed best young defender in Europe. It really worries me when I recall how Wigan performed under RM and I see how soft centred we are under him now.
Result went to form. The team in seventh place beat the team in ninth.Just watched Liverpool ...........
I blame Sakho. A liability. He plays football like I used to: no finess, no skill, no ability other than to muscle someone off the ball. The one thing he has that I didn't is a deep belief he's actually good. Hence all the attempted tricks and backheels etc, you're a defender just feckin hoof it!!Just watched Liverpool ...........
