Yes, the title race is back on! (well it depends on which Paper you read). Dare we bet on a Liverpool win against Villa? Hmmm… I’m not sure Rich will agree to that, however,  Barcelona and Real Madrid play later though. Could be a Spanish double tonight then.

After being bulldozed by Liverpool, Madrid got back to the relative comfort of La Liga with comfortable wins. The ‘big four’ tag in the Premier League is a bit of a misnomer this season. Villa have stepped up (or have Arsenal stepped down) and Everton are not that far behind. But where’s the ‘Big Four’ in Spain? Valencia, Sevilla and Villareal have recently tried to break in but this year they have been far behind. It’s been too easy for Barca and Real. So why haven’t we been backing them more?! We’ve concentrated far too much on the unpredictable Premier league.

Premier league
+ Great for exciting and unpredictable matches
- Bad for Million Quid Gamble

La Liga
- Two teams consistently winning
+ Great for Million Quid Gamble!
