Mauricio on 'exciting' return to Barcelona

[mawspurs]

Mauricio Pochettino cannot wait to return to 'my town' after we were drawn against Spanish giants Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. We’ll play the La Liga champions, Dutch title-winners PSV Eindhoven and Italian giants Inter Milan home and away in Group B of the competition.

Whenever I see "the La Liga", bits crumble off my teeth.

A bit like the "HIV virus".


Aaaaargh.

Poch channelling his inner Spurs King.

What ever happened to Spursking? Did he go out like BC, spitting venom or was he embarrassed by mixing his up and comings in Ligue 1 with La Liga?

Puberty kicked in.

It’s because of the branding of it - trademarking ‘La Liga’ and then selling it to broadcasters as such means that it becomes an entity, a piece of intellectual property in its own right. Put another way, it’s no longer two words put together to mean ‘the league’, but a single entity with its own legal status and meaning.

So I understand why journos sometimes say things like the La Liga, but I agree with you, the sound of it jars
