JJ7 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 http://i.imgur.com/3L87L.jpg Aye, Sky trying to be so clever that they've even included a 2nd Division team in the list. Every hour they also say that Berwick have a capacity of 4100 with less than a quarter seats, despite showing on the screen 1300 seats, more than a quarter.

JJ7 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Only way you could combine the two league systems is if you changed the lower leagues so that it was regionalised higher up and you had say 4 regions. South, Midlands, North and Scotland. Then the Scottish teams could feed in that way. Hearts and a few other clubs would do fairly well considering their fanbase when they eventually got promoted. As others have said though, won't and shouldnt happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Well, no. The Premier League is the Premier League, the Bundesliga is the Bundesliga and La Liga is La Liga. You don't call them the German Budesliga and the Spanish La Liga, do you? I don't personally, no. But they are associated with those respective countries and feature those countries' players primarily. Americans. It's pretty simple mate, the 'English' refers to the location in which it is played, England. Not to the nationality of the players. The fans are English, the stadiums are English, the history is English. Fucking simple stuff. Relevance? The haughtiness is way overplayed here. I'm really not saying anything that hasn't been lamented by many PL/BPL/EPL fans concerning the lack of Englishmen in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

henke Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Rangers average attendance for last season seems high considering the place was half empty much of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience of most Americans, there seems to be a lack of comprehension of history and the relevance of the past to the present. It's completely clear why the league would be referred to as English, and you're either completely stupid or are deliberately mis-representing your argument. Everyone would love there to be more English players at the highest leagues, but claiming the 'Premier League' isn't english due to the number of foreign imports is ridiculous, and coming from an American, pretty funny.

NewJerseyMag Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 True enough. Baseball has 30% non Americans and Ice Hockey about 50% non American. Meh, dont quite understand the whole argument though. There are some bad Rangers fans like with any club but you cant argue with an average crowd of 45,000. If they (the fans) stick together, they will be back soon enough.

I'm not using anyone's suffering, just stating facts. You've labelled the entire club "paedophiles". You have then made a potentially libellous claim against one of that club's greatest heroes.

I'm perfectly aware of why the English Premier League is called as such. No need to disregard what I say based on my nationality, as my experience with most Brits sees them so want to do (see how stupid that sounds when you generalize?) Such an easy wave of the hand, when it's completely unfounded. You want to talk history, we can talk history. I'm just not so sure I understand how, on one hand, someone can claim the league's unique Englishness and on the other, lament how much foreign influence there is in the league (ownership, fans, players, etc.) Not saying you, but that's objectively true of many English supporters.

It does sound stupid, but I'm not sure it's how you meant it. Yes, I am sorry for generalising, but it doesn't mean what you were saying was right. Ultimately football is about entertainment, and I'd much rather Yohan Cabaye and Hatem Ben Arfa than Stuart Downing and Andy Carroll. It doesn't mean, however, we can't wish that the English players were better I'd love it if Steven Taylor was the new Thiago Silva, I really would. But he's not.
