If the Catalans one day achieve the unthinkable and gain independence from Spain, Barcelona could be forced to quit La Liga.  Pretty sure there will be lots of leagues around Europe desperate for them to join, but with the wealth of the premiership surely they would have the biggest pulling power!

If they want independence then they should stick with a Catalan league. Barca v Sitges. It'd be like the Scottish League on steroids.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

They can sodomist off, we have much more right to just turn up and play in the premier league!

I think we will one day have a European League anyway with the top sides from England, Spain, France, Germany and Italy etc. The Champions League will keep expanding.

There's no way La Liga would not want Barcelona in it.

Inevitable IMO, and I for one would welcome it. They can all sodomist off as far as I'm concerned and give us our game back.

Cant see Barcelona joining  the premiership myself though members of the Spanish FA have stated if Catalonia gains independence from Spain they will be ousted from the Spanish league

As for independence following Sundays vote Iam not sure what will happen as only 42% turned out but were 90% in favour of independence. Personally if they want to leave Spain I would let them but as reports stated on the BBC it has ramifications for the rest of Spain and also Europe so may not be a wise move.

Pique the Barcelona defender also voted for independence which has caused friction amongst Spanish supporters which has been evident by the jeering of him from Spanish supporters when he turns out for Spain .This has gone on for a while even prior to the vote as he hasnt been shy in airing his views on pro independence in the past . Likewise there has often been historic friction between the  Spanish contingent of players between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Interesting to note though that Iker Casillas tried to smooth things with Xavi as the simmering tension was started to affect the Spanish national team .Interestingly Mourinho didnt like the close friendship forged between Xavi and Casillas which had been ongoing since their childhood days . This in large part caused Casillas being dropped which in my view puts Mourinho in a bad light.

Hence it was this close bond between Iker Casillas and Xavi and the personality of Vicente Del Bosque which eased tension in the Spanish camp which allowed for the glorious success  Spain had between 2008 and 2012 .


One life,one love .

The other 58% were getting a kicking from the police

It'd be no different to Monacco playing in the French league would it?

Can't see La Liga kicking one of their biggest teams out of the league!
