midds Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 La Liga > Premier League Nah. Real Madrid/Barca >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Other Spanish sides. They'd piss allover the Prem too, though. Quite probably. Doesn't mean the overall quality of La Liga is better. The quality of the bottom half of the Prem is grossly overrated. Some absolute dross in this league. Fair proportion of fans who mistake 'excitement' for 'quality' and swallow Sky's "bestest league in the world shite". A game can be exciting and end-to-end but full of poor football. Poor football = mistakes = goals =/= quality football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some absolute dross in this league. The quality of bottom half teams in every European league is pretty shocking tbf. Think a lot of people actually overrate La Liga as we're only shown games involving the top teams, the majority of which are 90 mins of attack v defence. Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching La Liga, but in terms of overall entertainment the PL trumps it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it funny how people say Spanish players couldn't handle the physicality of the Prem, as if it's some kind of achievement that we have the most brutal league in Europe. Most English players would look like fish out of water in Spain. Look at Pennant, sole creative outlet for last years cup finalists in England... as much use as a chocolate fireguard in Spain.

SEMTEX Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Pepe is such a dirty player should be banned. He'd break legs if it was legal. If leg breaking was legal, I imagine a lot of players would break legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I find the bottom half of Spain and Italy to be unbearably boring.

Pennant is rubbish in England as well. Pennant is rubbish everywhere. Pennant is rubbish generally. it's a pretty poor argument really, different leagues have different strengths and weaknesses. some players won't adapt. look at borja valero flopping badly here, but amazing in la liga. or Xisco having one of the top goals per minute ratios in Spain, and being a joke here. doesn't mean anything. doesnt help that Pennant is pretty mediocre anyway, or that Stoke are the most extreme proponent of physical football and finished lower mid-table. what i would say is that Spain is even less balanced than the premiership. it's disgraceful the way they divvy up tv money and they could learn a thing or two from us about that.

Certainly more likely to get such a game in English football. Full of mistakes perhaps, but more watchable imo. Think if Sky subjected us regularly to games involving 2 lesser Spanish sides, opinion would be different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
