However the team that finished 2nd in the Premiership beat the team that finished 2nd in La Liga by 5 goals to nil in the first knockout stage. Surely then that doesn't say much for the strength of the Spanish league.

I'm pretty sure at the start of the year he wasn't picked for a City game because there were rumours he was having a medical at Sunderland or something, only for it to be called off or something. Then the new owners came in and the rest is history, City are massive!

as i've posted on la liga thread. the spanish league resembled the SPL this year with the gap between 2nd and 3rd.

Just think it is pretty sad that Heysel seems to be the 'forgotten' disaster while others get massive amounts of sympathy/media coverage every year.

To be honest only Hillsborough gets it. I'm sure the good people of Bradford and Lincoln remember the fire in the appropriate manner but the rest of the country do not and the same with the Ibrox disaster.

not totally forgotten mate
hope all football fans show their respects tomorrow

Hillsborough got it this year because it was 20 years on and the fact the lies were coming out of the wood work hardly gets much any other time same with Munich 50 years on loads of media about it this year not as much.

Even more sad when certain fans use the disaster on a banner and in songs to try and wind up other fans, its clear some people use remembering Heysel for other reasons

I've kept quiet all day despite your fishing. Pathetic.
What exactly gets you about someone wanting to respect the memory of people who lost their lives in Belgium twenty-four years ago?
Would you be questioning the motives or even the mere presence of a picture of the Bradford fire memorial?
Did you question the people who posted fitting tributes to the Hillsborough tragedy and the 96 innocent souls who left us that April afternoon?
Like I said, Pathetic.

You have a PM
