    The joke league that has produced the last 2 winners of the Champions league and Europa league, or the joke league that has won 28 out of the last 30 knockout ties in European competition against non Spanish opposition?

    Perhaps he should test himself in a competition against all the best club sides in the world? 80 goals in 102 games in that one....

    Or perhaps he should test himself in a proper league where Jamie Vardy has scored 15 goals in 16 games?? Lol

    Calling the Spanish league a joke league is as daft as comparing Winnall to Messi in the first place.

    As a league in the sporting sense of the word it is a joke, it's basically a two horse race between the only two teams in Spain who can attract the worlds finest players. Even Scotland's top division has had more clubs winning it than the Spanish.

    Must have imagined Atletico winning the League in 2014? I haven't even seen a side apart from Rangers or Celtic win the Scottish league in my lifetime.
    There's a lot of good sides in Spain not denying that Barca and Real are generally a lot better but they're generally a lot better than every body else in Europe apart from Bayern.

    No you didn't imagine it...but remember it because you'll probably be drawing your old age pension before they win it again.

    In the last ten years Atletico managed that win, Barca and Real finished first and second every year apart from 2007/8 when Villareal
    managed a runners up spot. In Scotland in the same period no winners out of the big two, but two clubs taking second (not counting
    the years since Rangers demotion)
    Taken historically in Scotland more clubs have won more titles and had more second places than in Spain, Scotlands league has been playing longer though, if anyone wishes to do the maths, my guess is they will be close to identical.
    The point I was making though is it's the most one sided league in Europe, certainly as far as the major footballing Leagues go.

    Who's currently top of La liga? Atletico will finish above Real this season.
    Hearts finished 2nd 05/6 it was Rangers and Celtic 1st and 2nd until Rangers were demoted in 2012/13 not that any of that matters because the quality in la liga compared to the Scottish league is like comparing the premier league and league 1.
    In the last 20 years la liga has had 5 different winners the premier league has had 4 and 2 of them only managed it because they spent about a quarter of a billion pounds each.

    He should be making central defensive headers and pulling off top draw saves in goal, as well as handing out the oranges at half time , not to mention washing the 1st team kit after the match. Dunno what's up with Winnall! !
