Premiership or La Liga

Well, if week one of the premiership threw up some well anticipated excitement, week two never quite reached fever pitch. Unless of course you are a Spurs fan. The usual controversy followed Chelseas visit to Anfield and Man Utd somehow failed to score against a tactically naive City.
How refreshing for me living in Spain to watch the SuperCopa live on tv on sunday night.
Real Madrid the la liga champions took on Sevilla the cup winners and what a game it turned out to be. Both teams opting for all out attack and sensational entertainment that left me wondering why i bother with the premiership at all! It was Sevilla that took the honours in a 5-3 victory with ex West Ham man Freddie Kanute bagging a hat trick. It was however no pushover with end to end football all the way. Good to see Van Nistelroy back for Madrid, but it would be wrong to single out any single player from either side.
La Liga kicks offf this weekend and i cant wait!!
