La Liga 2017-18

I'm sure Conte could get himself a Real Madwig...and to be fair he already sounds like the heir apparent to the manager's job.

Conte doesn't seem like a great fit for Madrid - fairly boring and negative tactics. Although to be fair Madrid don't exactly show joined up thinking in their decisions.

BBC get through an entire article about Lopetegui without mentioning Poch. Conte, Roberto Martinez (insane, but Valdano has thrown his name out in the press), and Mourinho should he get the boot are the ones mentioned in addition to the interim Solari.

The roberto Martinez one is weird. He must have a really good agent.

Every sacking is followed by a promotion. Wigan to Everton. Everton to Belgium. It's a weird one.

Strange the boss of last Liga seems determined to move ahead with plans to play on league match a year in USA but their pfa, Spanish FA and Real Madrid are all opposed to it.

Money money money.

Super bump but it seems we haven't had a La Liga thread this season (please move if I've missed it)

Crazy last few minutes in Barca v Atletico. Diego Costa sent off early on but Barca didn't score before the 85 minute, great goal by Suarez, and then they score 2-0 a minute after the restart.

Confused.

Appartently Costa said "I'll shit on your fucking mother" to the ref.

Nah.....
A term of endearment quite common in Spain.
Roughly translates as
I will share with your attractive 'I would' parent
my most intimate and precious bodily possession.
Unless there's a prostitute 'puta' reference it won't count.

Was it me cago tu madre? That's like a "fuck me that's shit" type statement - but for the ref to send him off, I assume the ref speaks Spanish and understood any intent of malice meant, therefore took action?

It was basically as reported but the word puta included.
'me cago tu puta madre'. I shit on your whore mother.

Most of Spanish swearing goes over my head
but it's quite extensive, funny and inventive when you look it up.
Ref was probably fed up with Costa insulting him through the game.
and this was the last straw.

Yo cago en la leche de tu puta madre ➔ I shit in your whore mother's milk ... is quite common.

Fouled milk is a popular reference. Shitting on someone or something is universally used.
head, milk, sea or whatever to express irritation disappointment as Costa did.

I don't speak Spanish very well but the Spanish use of swearwords is very entertaining.
English swearing by comparison is very repetitive and limited.

Agreed, I speak a bit of Spanish, not fluently at all, but of course the first thing you learn are the cuss words. My Spanish friend shouted across the office once when it was raining

"¡Me cago tu leche!"

In my limited spanish I was asking her why she wanted to shit on milk... turns out that's their go to phrase like we'd say "it's raining cats and dogs"

Love it

Coño is heard everywhere even by young kids.
literally '****' or 'pussy': think 'cunnilingus'
but in practice can mean anything as a mild expletive
shit, fuck, ouch, damn, blast, heck depending on context.

Never heard it as '****' but might have missed it.
I love it too, perhaps I should concentrate more
on proper Spanish.

Costa given an EIGHT match ban. Seems a bit of an overreaction if I'm honest
