Maybe the bad dress sense but other than that i usually find him good to listen to on La Liga.

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.
