The money the crap teams in the EPL can throw about is massive compared to the amount that La Liga teams can spend
Agreed, they do get all the young South Americans though, the Garay's and Cacares' of this world are always likely to start off with the likes of Racing or Recreativo because it'd be easiest country to adapt to. So that's how they remain skilled teams. You only have to look at Athletic Bilbao though to see the difference between Spanish (or should I say Basques, before I get eaten
) players and English. How good would a midtable team fair in the EPL if it was solely made up of English players only? 0 -

The whole work permit thing surely has an effect too0 -

Would a team 5th from bottom have 50 million to spend on players at christmas thanks to tv monies? jaysus do barca have that?
Agree with PHB the tv deals in spain and italy are unfair to the lower teams, the EPL has the right idea "share the wealth".0 -

We have done the stadium tour but I intend taking the kids over to the Nou Camp in the new season for a match so will be coming here for advice as I won't be going near a travel operator to be fleeced. I'm basing this on the assumption that by then it'll be easier to get tickets than at the CoMS and it'll probably be cheaper too. So any advice on accommodation, tickets, food etc. would be a great help to those of us not used to travelling outside the eircom League or EPL for our fix.
ps. Redout-apologies about earlier post questioning your colours, I'm only noticing now you too are posting in the Citeh site.
The stadium is getting redeveloped if my memory serves me. Not sure if its starting this summer or not but I am sure eZe will know the answer to that. Here is a pic of the new design. I cant say I am an admirer of it to be honest so best get there before work starts.

For tickets check out http://www.servicaixa.com/nws/jsp/session.jsp;jsessionid=JQFQLpnBSvMy1t3hJCh5Yr29TpQX8QJ3JfmQMvmFDJWF1hp5vQG7!1211638816!-160111044?control=serviticket.sis.servlets.hSrvRecinte&codTipusEvent=3&codPoblacio=5&codRecinte=5100&idioma=CAS&CODIUSU=servicaixa&loce=cas-sbhmdeporte-areaequipo-ar2-1-LinkExterno they are official ticket agents and I have used them on over a dozen occasions. Just present your cc and ID at the ticket office before kick-off or else use one of the automated machines. If its not Espanyol, Real Madrid or a big European team then the stadium will not be sold out and you can buy on the day. Just remember that the bigger the opposition the bigger the ticket prices and these prices can be very expensive. Plane tickets are cheap if you book in advance, Aer Lingus and Iberia fly direct between Dublin and Barcelona as do some other Spanish airlines. Check Spanair, Air Europa, Vueling and Clickair to see.
Food and accom I dont know. If your renting and cooking your own food then the likes of Mercadona and Al Campo are decent cheap supermarkets. They have Aldi and Lidl also. If you like the more expensive then El Corte Ingles is your store. Think of it like a big Brown Thomas with some having their own supermarkets or else seperate Hipercor.
To finish off I have some bad news for you brother. I am a United supporter who just so happens to live in Madrid. Its the gf who is the Barcelona supporter so I end up watching and going to the games. I dont really mind as Barca are a joy to watch and if one has to watch another team then who better than Xavi, Eto'o, Messi and co. right ! I do have a soft spot for La Blaugrana and I dispise Real Madrid so its kind of a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing. Its highly odd but I have watched as many Barca games as United over the past three years barring when they clash ! The lads on here will be able to sort you out with more info I am sure as someone is usually at a game at least every month or so. eZe is the Barca man for all your Q's.0 -

Realistically we will be trying our best to hold on to Eto'o next year, but if he wants to try another challenge in another country then we can't stand in his way, especially considering how he treated the club and how the club treated him at times. However I really hope he stays, because the one thing that you can't question with Eto'o is his commitment and passion.I was just correcting the result. Wasn't trying to be smart. Only reason i put the smiley in was because I had to say something...
My bad.Isn't The Athleti Vs Barca the highhest scoring game in Europe averged over the last 10-15 years? It is regularly a belter. You are spoiled in Madrid redout.
There's always millions of goals in it anyway. This was the best ever game of football I ever saw.
