Mole_Toonfan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The quality is bang average, which is why teams like Leicester are at the top. It's more competitive and therefore maybe more entertaining as nearly everyone has dragged it down to the same mediocre standard but there's nothing quality about it objectively. Again, disagree. They're at the top because Vardy & Mahrez have been phenomenal, and teams who ordinarily wouldn't be good enough to beat the big clubs, are able to take points off them without it being a surprise. They have been phenomenal yes, but part of it is down to the league as a whole is worse thus making it easier for that level of player. Mahrez was in the league last year and i don't remember him looking like this. Agree to disagree, but i think it's more down to the traditional big teams being significantly worse than it is the league as a whole being better. It's more competitive due to that but i don't think it's of a higher quality personally. The top scorer list is a whole while a breath of fresh air to a point is an indictment on the standard IMO.

The College Dropout Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The league as a whole is dreadful this year. More open and entertaining, perhaps. I agree with Kanji. The majority of the bottom half is pretty s***. There are teams in the top half who haven't even been particularly great this season. It's so inconsistent. I've not looked at the table for a while. I don't dare! But with the way everyone is taking points off each other. I'm sure a mini run of form could shoot us up the league. I'm sure we can go on a run of form. We just need to start scoring, stop conceding horrible goals and actually go into games with a plan Disagree entirely that the league is awful like. You've got mid-table teams with the likes of Lukaku, Deulofeu, Barkley....Shaqiri, Bojan, Arnautovic....Cabaye, Zaha, Bolasie. I think it's the best the league has ever been. Teams can beat the 'top' sides more regularly as a result and everything seems closer. I agree with this, it's levelled out a lot and is loads more competitive. Reckon the overall quality and entertainment value has been canny this year as well. Might be a result of the increased telly money for the also-rans, coupled with the waste we've seen from the recent top sides. I'd rather have a league like this than the ones we've seen in recent years, just a shame NUFC can't be arsed to be a part of it. Agreed it's been a laugh. Top teams in the division are 2nd and 3rd tier in Europe. The rest of the league has teams with a few players of great quality. Super entertaining. the teams aren't quality but often the entertainment and attacking is. The worst 14 teams in the division all have far more quality comparatively than they would a decade ago. Far more. In La Liga the bottom 10 sides don't have near this much quality. No idea about Germany or Italy but I reckon the same is true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Mad that I saw a few folk on Twitter saying if we loan Remy, it's pointless because we'll still be after a striker at the end of the season. If fatty and thumby (and the fans themselves) want to stay up though, it's an absolute no-brainer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 @Mole - no way are the worst 15 teams in the Bundesliga better than that in the PL. No way are the worst 15 teams in the PL a decade ago have as much quality as they do today. It's a 2 pronged situation with quality rising at one end and falling at the other. If the best teams got worse and everyone else was mediocre it would play out like Serie A 3-6 years ago. Same teams still in the top echelons of the league but performing poorly in Europe.

You really do insist on talking shit about the PL all the time like, Mole. Look at the rubbish that have managed to finish in the top 4 in other leagues recently. Leicester might scrape 6th but I doubt it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The top 4 are not as good as they once were or should and could be and the bottom 3 are awful, but the rest is quite a range and quite decent. Its an even league, very competitive and more interesting than many a year. The championship looks a very good league at the moment too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 If it's true about Remy wanting a "week to decide" he can fuck off as far as I'm concerned. We're in a relegation scrap. Last thing we need is more players who don't want to be here (which he obviously doesnt if he has to decide over a week) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this, if he was on the end of those chances Mitrovic has had over the last 4 games then he would have scored at least 5 of them. 5-7 goals from him (or anyone) could easily be enough to keep us up.

I think it's more likely a case of him thinking, "Not them again, man. Tell them to fuck off", than him pissing us around like. He's got every right to want to bide his time, this move determines if he goes to the Euros. If we're stupid enough to wait, or don't have an alternative lined up, that's our daft fault.
