S4M12: Real Ma*******drid

I found meself in Seville last weekend (great city, highly recommended) and thought I'd find a nice bar to settle into on Saturday night to watch the Arsenal vs Man Utd game, followed by Sevilla's trip to the Camp Nou. I was wrong. Do you know how hard it is to find English football when either of the Big 2 in Spain are playing?

Arsenal vs Man Utd was bumped in every single bar except for some faux-Irish sports bar shite for Real Madrid vs Elbar. Seriously. For a fish-in-a-barrel kinda game. I predicted 5-0 to the bar guy with whom I had the longest argument in schoolboy Spanish (Quien el f**k es Elbar? Estamos en Sevilla....no estamos en Madrid) - it was 4-0 and I didn't watch any football. So silver lining, or I'd have had to have been arrested for throwing a mounted bull's head (yeah...that's very popular in matador territory) at the TV screen.

So I haven't got a clue what happened aside from a masochistic 10 minutes in front of MoTD when I got home. On that note, it's interesting (and some what literally incredible) that fewer people thought Man Utd would win away at Arsenal, than thought Crystal Palace would beat Liverpool at home.

So, bit of a cop out this week in terms of the above, but if anyone wants tips for a lovely weekend break in Andalucia, please get in touch.
