brummie Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Oh, and another thing, yes, three out of four teams in the semi finals this year, the Sky Four are great in Europe. Nice for them. That's it though, the PL is four decent sides and the rest is fucking dross. We won two games in just under four months, and STILL finished sixth, and Everton, despite finishing fifth, we also sufficiently uninspiring to not manage to leapfrog us until two weeks from the end of the season. How fucking rubbish is that? And those are supposed to be two sides capable of changing the divine order. I think not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Regardless of which league is best I think it is just as bad as the Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool plastic fans when people have foreign teams like Barcelona as their second team (you can't have a second team unless it was something like you support Newcastle and Whitley Bay). i agree tbh, cringeworthy how people attach themselves to barca.

Kaizero Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 So why is it that this Man Utd team is the first in the last several years to atually try and attack the best team that ins't from Enlgand? And why is it they got totally battered for 80 minutes? Because Barcelona is the best team in the world. That does not mean the entire La Liga is better than any other league though. Knee-jerk tastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Could you tell me the average Serie A attendance outside of The Milans, Juevntus, Roma, and Lazio? What's the average attendance in the Bundesliga? Crowds have nothing to do with it at all. Juventus play in front of half a dozen tourists and a dog most weeks, anyway.

Astroblack Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'll give it to Barca. They played better and deserved the win 100 per cent. They are the best team in the world, but I Still think the Prem is better than La Liga. Its an all round excellent league ful of physicality and skill. La Liga's very good, but the Prem has a bit more. That's my opinion anyway. In my opinion, the Premier League is the best marketed league in the world, for sure. It also has a shout for the "best" league in the world by some other definitions, but there's no doubt it is boring in the sense that, pretty much without fail, the same four teams win everything worth winning, and the same cabal of teams enter the Champions League these days, bar the occasional blip. We already know the four teams from which the winner will come next year (in fact, that could probably be narrowed down to three). Who won the German league this year? Yes, but who really cares about the Bundes Liga? Pizzaro scored like 2 goals all year, goes back to Germany and he gets 20. Same can really be said about any league. What other teams apart from Valencia, Real or Barca have won La Liga. What other teams apart from Juve, Milan and Inter, Roma have won Seria A. Marseille finally win the French League after lYon dominates for years and years. If you want to see an "equal" league go watch MLS, there's no consistency there and everyone's happy in the long run.

Newcastle Fan Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 So why is it that this Man Utd team is the first in the last several years to atually try and attack the best team that ins't from Enlgand? And why is it they got totally battered for 80 minutes? They were awfull tonight and Barca raped them, but if your honestly going to use this as an indicator that the Spanish league is better than the EPL then you need to have your head checked.

Kaizero Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 People attach themselves to Barca the same way people attached themself to Brazil when they were playing the best football, is that really so hard to understand? Yes, especially the Brazil bit as I don't think anyone should support anyone else in International football than their own nation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Barca are thr only team in Spain able to compete with our top four. However I'd say outside our top four the Spanish have a stronger league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest helios_centric Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I've never seen the point of being a fan of more than one club. Where do you end it? One in each country? I just find it weird.

Kaizero Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I don't see the problem with people who like to watch the Brazil's and the Barcelona's because of their good football, what i do have more problems with is when Scandinavians and stuff go to a pub with Brazil shirts and flags to support Brazil because their country isn't involved in the cup, THAT'S silly mind I don't have a problem with people wanting to watch good football either. My problem goes with the ones you've described at the end of your post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
