From a losing position as well!

Incredible. But it shows how much Real and Barca dominate that league.

Unlike the premier league, where teams like Leicester, Watford and Palace are giving the big teams great competition, you'll never see Levante or Espanyol pushing the likes of Real and Barca.

It's difficult to compare the leagues as for a decade Man U dominated our league, then there were two teams competing for it, now you could say there's any one of 4 for the past decade, but in Spain they've had Barca, Real, Athletico, but also Sevilla, Villareal and Valencia sniffing around occasionally. Celta Vigo are only 5 points behind Real with a game in hand this season even though Real and Barca will run away with it. But there's been times when our top two/top one/top four or even top 6! have been head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of quality and but other seasons like this one were no one really stands out and the quality is high throughout. The same seems to be happening in the German league at the moment with the exception of Bayern - who obviously stand about everyone! Previously Bayern and Dortmund (or Schakle) would be head and shoulders above everyone, but now there's Wolfburg, Dortmund, H. Berlin, Leverkusen and Schalke and even a team I have a soft spot for - Borussia Monchengladbach seem to be coming back!
 
And from some so called home supporters..... Nice to see all these so called EXPERT PUNDITS with a shed load a egg on their faces ⚽

You see everyone [pundits, fans, tweeters ect] making snap judgements all the time, people slagging off Ozil, Ramsey for Arsenal, Henderson for Liverpool, Pelligrini for Spurs ect though I will admit that I don't think anyone seriously predicted how well Leicester have been performing, and I bet you and other fans have to keep pinching yourselves each weekend!

Also when we were in the Champ'ship and not long after Mahressi had signed , after watching him I said to a Gooner mate that he would be plying his trade at The Emirates within three years ? That was two years ago !

Of coarse That's why we still say we are only two points from safety Remaking grounded .

I love that attitude, because at some point you're going to go through a bad patch and this attitude will help you bounce out of it sooner without worrying if/when you fall down a few positions in the league.

If it wasn't for the fact that we are competiting with you then I'd love to see you win the league, it would be a reminder of the days before the Prem and the magic we lost

French league has turned into the new SPL ... PSG now 19 points clear at the top ... suspect they may just win it <whistle> ... but may do a little better than Celtic in next season's Champion's League <laugh>
