so Real Madrid are actually doing worse than last year!

And despite all the claims about our team getting worse and worse rapidly, we're doing better.

So are Barcelona.

i was thinking the same thing.

Real spend over £50m on players this season but are actually doing worse compared to this point last season.

The difference is two points...and we are actually closer to the league leaders.

I just didn't think it could get any worse than last year.

In La Liga this year there been a lack of consistency , every team tends to slip up somewhere , Barca were on a run away train last year.

We're not really worse...we just haven't really made any real progress.

that's true, whereas Barça seem to be sleepwalking all season.
