Tickets

Sid Lowe


Dr Lowe has been covering Spanish football from Madrid for the Guardian and others since 2001. He's written a number of books, including Fear and Loathing in La Liga: Barcelona, Real Madrid ; been a translator for galaticos like David Beckham, Michael Owen and, er, Thomas Graveson; and in 2015 was a finalist with Sheffield University on University Challenge. He has a dog called Estrella who looks like Chuck Blazer. Follow him @sidlowe

Graham Hunter

Graham is the author of Barca - The Making of the Greatest Team in the World and Spain: The Inside Story of La Roja's Historic Treble. He has written, and reported for amongst many others: Sky Sports Spanish Football, the Scottish Mail on Sunday, ESPN, BBC Radio, Talksport, Newstalk, Sixty Minutes, Uefa.com, FIFA TV, the Evening Express, PlayUp.com, EightByEight (US), FourFourTwo Magazine and the PaddyPower website

He keeps my affiliation to Aberdeen FC (the Mighty Dandies) pretty low key, often not mentioning it for spells as long as 10 or 12 minute and has lived life to a soundtrack of the Clash, Paul Weller, Primal Scream, Dean Martin, the Stone Roses, the Beatles and the Stones. Follow him at @BumperGraham


Dion Fanning

links don't often work so it's best to put in the proper url like this 
It would damage this forums' reputation

I don't know why, but I can't stand Hunter either. Just something about him that annoys me.

I liked Hunter back when he was on Revista and really enjoyed his book "Spain" about the Spanish team from 2008 to 2012. Have another book of his called Barca whch I haven't got around to reading yet.

I find him irritating now though. Takes him about half an hour to finish a sentence, it's like he tries to analyse every word that comes out of his mouth.


Revista was a great show, I miss that. One of the best shows Sky Sports ever had. Spanish football coverage in Ireland is awful now. Premier only show about a 1/4 of the games. Wish Sky would get the rights again.

Agree with all of that. Hunter has become obnoxious.

La Liga is kind of dying now. Post Ronaldo and Messi. Nobody really wants to watch La Liga games that don't involve the big two. Maybe Atlético have some sort of pull. But they've basically paid the price for not distributing the revenue more evenly among the clubs. That's why most of Europe are desperate to make The ESL happen.

Bellingham has helped keep Real relevant. Mbappé would be a further boost. Barcelona will be hoping that Lamine Yamal cane become their next big superstar.
