El Classico? More like, El Sideshow
The nutmeg | Thursday 19 January 2012 by Richard BlayneyToo much of this, not enough football
Did anyone watch the latest ‘El Classico’ yesterday between the two sides in two-team-Spanish-football that win anything? The tikki-takki-tappy-toe provayors of poessions football and the two yard pass, Barcelona, and their jealous bad-guy rivals lead by Jose Mourinho, Real Madrid? If I’m honest I’ll admit I didn’t even know it was on until I read someone talking about an incident during the game on Twitter and later in the evening I glanced up from my iPad to see the goals when the highlights came on TV, but otherwise I just couldn’t find myself being drawn to it because, as was proven against last night, the football is secondary to the nonsense.

Articles, stories, blogs and match reports will appear at random with no set frequency though expect match reports to often arrive late.
