Spain's La Liga race is wide open!

WELCOME TO MY BLOG! I am going to save the other pleasantries for a later post. I was so moved by the results in Spain over the last three weeks, it has inspired me to create this blog.
  Any one who knows me, know that when it comes to football in Spain, there is no other team that tickles my fancy like "Los Blancos", for all "non-believers" that's the pet name for Real Madrid (31 time league champions, 17 time Copa del Rey champions, 9 time UEFA champions league champions, amongst other prestigious awards).
This weekend, Real Madrid beat Espanyol which makes it 10 league wins in a row, while their title rivals Barcelona, slipped to another shameful defeat, leaving Real Madrid just 4 points behind with one more "Superclassico: nickname for the match when they play each other" to go. I can not help but be excited about this.
Many times in the recent months, I have been told that Real Madrid's title last season was a fluke, the talismanic Raul is past his prime, too many average players, no "flashy" wins as compared to Barcalona. But the truth is a win is a win. I will take it any way it comes. I will not make any bold predictions as yet but I will say this, it's not over until its over!

Finally, congrats to all you Man U fans. After I finally woke up (due to the boredom), the guys kept their composure and took the title. Again I say congrats.

Until we meet again remember, Football is not just a sport, IT'S A WAY OF LIFE!

Cheers,
Deon
