Being from South America, I've always loved the Spanish League because I get to see some of the best players in South America play and the narrators are also in Spanish. The last few years I've been getting pretty tired of the Spanish League BS, specially with Mourinho blaming the referees every time he loses a game. Pepe violent way of playing and then crying "Why are referees picking on me?" doesn't help. Mourinho poking a guy in the eye and only getting a 2 game punishment was plain ridiculous I've been noticing that the camera people consistently seem to only show replays from angles that favor Real Madrid fans. Yesterday Madrid played Valencia, after a goal, Mourinho jumped on the back of a Madrid player to celebrate.... they showed THREE different replays of that from THREE different angles. At the end of the game, there was a very controversial play that looks like Higuain stopped the ball with his hand in the box. The TV people only showed ONE replay from a really bad angle. Somehow, magically, about 12 hours later they "find" another replay from a better angle that clearly shows Higuain stopping the ball with his hand in the small box. Well, I'm sick and tired of all this Spanish League replay manipulation and b....ing and crying about referees every time a team loses a game. F.... THE SPANISH LEAGUE, I'M DONE WITH IT.

I don't blame the OP. Personally I can't leave La Liga because I am tied to Barca so I must at least follow/watch their matches. But otherwise I wouldn't watch either. If I am honest, I must say these days I just watch the first 45 minutes of every Barca game or until its 3-nil (whichever comes first) and save the rest of my soccer-viewing time to watch other leagues, most of which have less than a 782 point gap between 2nd and 3rd place teams in the table.
I'm seriously sick and tired of all the b...ing and crying about the referees. A few days ago I saw an article complaining that a referee didn't use the same judgement with Pepe when he foul Alves about 6 months ago and a similar play against Pepe a few days ago. It's not even the same competition... but they are still going to say that "The referee hates Pepe" http://www.marca.com/2011/11/18/futbol/equipos/real_madrid/1321646173.html
Good News Everyone!! There are 100s of other leagues on earth. Dont let the borders hit ya, where the good lord split ya. http://www.picshag.com/pics/072010/good-news-everyone.jpg
I wanted to see if other people feel like I do. For me, it's difficult. I don't like the English narrators, but man, I rather listen to them than all the b...ing and crying that is going in La Liga about every single play.
I totally agree with the OP because it nothing more than an informercial for RM or Barca. I honestly can't tell you who the 3rd winningest (as in league titles) Spanish team is for La Liga. The only game worth watching is the El Clasico and the rest of the league can go to hell. EPL is pretty decent to watch but it is still top heavy with Man United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and now City. I think the best overall league in the world is the Bundesliga. However, l love the Brasileiro league since it is so unpredictable and lots of scoring.
serie a is still one of my favorites. the argentina primera with river relegating the mexican and mls are cool bc you can never tell who will win. agree with bundesliga and brasileirao, very unpredictable.
The Spanish league is still maybe the 2nd or 3rd best league in the world and the football produced here is fantastic. I agree at the moment the situation is that Real and Barca are getting to strong and that hurts the league but there are a lot of other strong teams as well as Valencia, Malaga, Athletic Bilbao just to mention a few. What the league needs is a more equal playing ground when it comes to incomes and revenues from especially the TV rights. The rich are getting richer and it's not helping at all, but its refresheing to see a team like Levante fighting in the top with their limited resources.
