Rayo Vallecano.....nasty Spanish football strikes again

[PalazioVecchio]

Strasbourg beat us. Then Vallecano beat Strasbourg. Rayo Vallecano are mid-table in La Liga.

Ever since they started winning everything, i took a dislike to the arrogance and swagger of Spanish football. Tons of cheating & diving. Playing the referee like a ball. All the Spanish behaving like they won the World Cup ( and a ton of club European silverware) or something. From the thuggish cynicism of Athletico Madrid to the superior arrogance of Barca/Real Madrid.

Nasty Spanish clubs, tapping into half a billion population of Latin American clubs to get talent in. Doing so on the cheap. Meanwhile everybody raises their transfer prices when the Prem boys ride into town. Its like a two-tier transfer-market. This to match the two-tier Restaurants on the Costa del Sol....one price for the locals and double the price for all the Guiri's*. And its not just for buying a football player or a plate of Paella. When a Guiri owns property in Spain he will routinely be charged double for building works, bureaucracy, purchase price, even getting his bins collected. Two Tier is alive and well.

And us poor humble Premier League clubs, swimming in their wake. With our tired old football stadia, high ticket prices and always getting ripped off in the transfer market. And also the Home Nation teams's empty trophy cabinets. Its not fair.

Rayo Vallecano are a community club based in a working class area of Madrid with a long history of being associated with left wing political activism. Their ultras frequently display banners opposing fascism and support for Palestine, for instance.

They sound like the kind of folk you would go out of your way to have an argument with. Maybe you arrange a meet up before the final.

That's a very sweeping statement, Its a bit like Scottish football, dominated by two clubs with the odd one getting a look in, the gap between is massive, the mid to bottom teams on championship wages, Real Vallecano's top wage is 40k a week, we have 15 players on more than that, it is a game we should win at a stroll, like Macclesfield, i have never found that in the Canaries, maybe different in Costa del Sol, a reasonable grasp of Spanish is always a help.

Yep ! It's always those freedom of speech loving Lefties that keep themselves to themselves; never going out of their way to cause trouble.

Always the right wing who want to disrupt protests and have arguments.

I hope my sacasism is coming across loud and clear
