Messi the king (where’s my Spanish football?)

Those of you who can’t get coverage of Spanish football because you feel a second mortgage isn’t worth the pleasure, may think twice when you see this goal from Lionel Messi for Barcelona against Getafe in the King’s Cup. I for one am having second thoughts about paying for the subscription that would free up the funds for Rupert Murdoch to buy panda skin boots for half the presenters at Fox News. Those of us who like our football to be of the high octane variety often scoff that while Spain’s Primera Liga may be justly considered more technically proficient, it can’t offer the excitement of its English equivalent, but on this evidence a rethink may be in order.
