Real Betis - A Look Back At Their 2012/2013 Campaign

As I had a quick preview of next season for Real Betis in my piece on Thursday, I thought it would be fitting to look back upon what was the 2012/2013 campaign which has been heavily talked about by fans in Spain.

Thursday night, Channel Five: a case for the Europa League

As I watched a very entertaining game between Liverpool and Udinese in the Europa League last week, I realised it was fourth game of the competition I was watching already this season. For all the jesting that the competition is a 'poor man's Champions League' it throws up some brilliant fixtures and gives us a chance to watch teams and players we wouldn't normally get to see if you're not an avid follower of the other European leagues.
