Football season coming to the boil…

As Sport 360′s Spanish correspondent I’ve been taking in a lot of live games – at Osasuna’s Reyno de Navarra stadium to see Barcelona’s La Liga challenge falter with a dramatic 3-2 defeat, Real Madrid’s Bernabéu to watch Mourinho’s men steamroll (almost) all opposition, Barcelona’s Camp Nou to see Messi’s record breaking five goals against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League and Bilbao’s San Mamés to see Athletic outrun and outclass Manchester United in the Europa League.
There’s also been time for some more reasoned (ahem) analysis – with regular pieces for Sport 360 including this one on the emergence of Iker Muniain at Athletic and this one on the sinking of Villarreal’s Yellow Submarine, plus pieces for Fox Soccer including Málaga’s seeming emergence as a La Liga ‘third force‘ , and the Football Ramble looking at why the recent ‘law of silence’ at Real Madrid had more to do with internal dressingroom squabbles than anger at refereeing decisions.
Through all this I’ve been on Twitter – follow me here for regular updates, links and the like…
