Belgians and football :rolleyes: BMC are NOT the Barcelona of cycling. More like Real Madrid or Manchester City. Moreover, the Spanish league is still attainable for Barcelona, contrary to what de Cauwer just said. Sigh. Stick to cycling.

8 games left, and Real would have to lose at least twice, which is exactly the amount of losses they had in the previous 30 league games, so not likely, although they have one game against each other in Barcelona still.

The Spanish league table looks competely ridiculous though. Not even Scotland is that dominated by two teams anymore.

1.) Real Madrid 78 points, +73 goal difference
2.) FC Barcelona 72 points, +64 goal difference
3.) FC Valencia 47 points, +9 goal differnence

I'm certain that's big over there, but when you have Sporza it's quite common. Elated for you though, enjoy. ;)

They don't have to lose twice. They could draw a couple of times as well, and several other combinations are possible. Seeing the upcoming games, Real's schedule is harder than Barcelona's which makes a slip up here and there more likely.

Tjallingii is surely too dangerous to let go, eh..

Uhm, Ok. So you thought wrong? :rolleyes: I don't see any added value to the cycling discussion in your post either.

I know annoying isn't it?

Interesting that Farrar is in the break.

Actually it's not. Otherwise I wouldn't have been doing it myself. Oh, and for the record, no one likes a smart-***, smart-***.

Anyway, good to see Tjallingii and Veelers up there.
