I can be very happy with my poor position than, I am at least not watching La Liga for the last two seasons

Don't get me wrong I watch a game here and there, especially Classico or some other derby but most of my bets and watching time goes to Premier League.

I hate that La Liga changed their time tables to conform to Aisan or whatever markets. In previous seasons you knew you had PL in the afternoon and La Liga in the evening. I still remember those Classico matches at 10 or 11 PM. That was perfect for me, you finish with the day, put your wife and child to sleep and enjoy great football in complete peace. This year classico was at 16:15 my local time, did not get home for first half and rather watched Liverpool - City when they started at 17:00.

It's still very late for us actually, for example 415 Barca time is 11.15pm my time. Most normal people can watch 1st half but if you have to be up by 5am like normal people then you will miss 1/2 hours of sleep every time your team plays IF they play early.

It used to be quite common and perfectly easy to watch replays, let's say you just go to sleep normally and work and come back and tune into replays (sports channels here do it the next day after 6pm but with social media and all that now it's impossible not to see the scores or hear everything about it that it's no longer fun to watch replays.

My older friends used to hardly watch even 1 match live a season and yet still support teams, and maybe if you're lucky you make it to final of some cup game that our TV stations will show. It's such a different world now but at least we get to see more live games now compared to before.

But for me, teams come first and local supporters. I would really hate the whole football movement moving to just fans or even when they do silly tournaments in Asia, I don't think that's right, it makes footballers tired and you can see they actually don't really enjoy it. For example La Liga wanting to play games in USA regularly is terrible for Spanish local fans. I hope FIFA never lets this happen.
