You have to go out and buy El Mundo Deportivo and Sport, read them all and divide by four
Those "newspapers" are fanzines, not newspapers. XT, Dagoods, Marc and El Fenomeno are less biased than all of them:howler: The least biased (yet still biased) review of La Liga is done by El Mundo (not El Mundo Deportivo) every Monday in their printed edition.
EMD and Sport are as biased as As and Marca, the problem is that the influence of EMD and Sport is lower compared to the newspapers of Madrid.
I'm scared for the propaganda campaign started in Madrid to pressure the refs. Today, AS dedicate the 75% of their columns to talk about the "favours" for Barcelona and they talk about the 3 penalties (I only saw Belletti's one, just an opinion), but surprisingly they DO NOT say anything about Gravesen's hand. Marca shows the 3 pics of the supposed penalties.
So I really fear a bad ref soon or later. It seems that they don't recall the ref in Villarreal, they don't recall Salgado's penalty and the worst of all, they understood Figo when he broke the leg of Cesar. Funny, the same newspapers, always defending "justice" and "fair play", destroyed Kluivert and Alfaro for smaller actions (none of them have broken any leg, as far as I know), but they got sanctions of 4 or 5 matches. Instead, AS and Marca said: "Uff, the tackle is terrible, but Figo is so nice... he said that he is sorry, he doesn't deserve a ban, we know him and he's a good person" :yuck:
The problem is not how biased they are, but which is the influence that they have in the refs and it scares me.
It's funny, because these people always talk about Barcelona's victimism, they always say "the refs give and steal, but at the end, everything is fair"... now it seems that Barça is the boss of the refs. The problem is that, after one century of Spanish football, everyone know who got the favours and that's why the Sevilla or the Valencia press did not react as violently when Barcelona got a "favour".
AS and Marca have started an antibarça campaign, be prepared for anything.
