sbnufc Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 it could be great tho watching us win and these draw every week. I'm sure most Sunderland fans will be gutted knowing you lot are winning Championship games while we're facing teams in the best league in the world. How are Sunderland playing in La Liga next season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 If Rafa stays we'll be back in Europe again before they ever make it there and it's going to hurt them like you wouldn't believe. You reckon? I'd wait until at least Christmas before making a statement like that. I may be wrong, Benitez might be a class Championship manager, but he's untested in a division like that and to suppose that you'll not only come straight back up but he'll then get you into Europe is slightly delusional. He never said we'll get straight into Yewrup though. Just get there before you lot do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Mackem Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 How are Sunderland playing in La Liga next season? That's why the TV rights for The Premier League dwarf those of La Liga, because La Liga is the best league in the world? It's not my opinion that the Premier League is the best league on the planet, it's the world's football fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Mackem Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Didn't just say best league in the world man. Urghh Yep. The most watched league in the world. La Liga has the best players, but their product is generally poor because of the way Barca and Real Madrid take most of the cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll never get a Leicester in La Liga. It's an awful league to watch, which is shown by it's worldwide audience compared to the Premier League. Our top division is the best in the world as a spectacle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you're describing the most entertaining (which I'd say it is, in fairness). Highest quality as in any team can beat any other on their day. It doesn't happen in La Liga as a rule. Don't get me wrong Barca and Real are amazing teams, and what Athletico have done is fantastic, but by God it's dreadful to watch most of the time. I, and the rest of the world, would rather watch the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather watch a Prem game but there's 2 Spanish teams in the CL final (plus count recent years' finalists and winners) and Sevilla have just won the EL again for the umpteenth/whatever time - to me, that suggests their league is of the best quality.

Wullie Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I don't know why I'm arguing but it's not 'dreadful to watch' compared to Stoke/West Brom/Crystal Palace vs Watford/Sunderland/Swansea. That's without even mentioning the 'good' teams that are dull as dishwater as well, like Man Utd and Chelsea. It just isn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Stray Mackem is a good poster. He's fair and he knows what he's talking about. But the state of RTG man. 99% posters just acting like this Rafa news isn't positive news for us I get the piss taking at the minute, Mackems are on top. But loads of posts like "he's a shite manager, he won't be able to handle the championship" etc. I mean FFS man.

I may be wrong, Benitez might be a class Championship manager, but he's untested in a division like that and to suppose that you'll not only come straight back up but he'll then get you into Europe is slightly delusional. You are basically implying that you'd consider a tried and tested Championship manager to be a better bet for promotion from the Championship than the likes of Arsène Wenger, Claudio Ranieri, Jürgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino, José Mourinho, Pep Guardiola, Rafael Benítez, etc. Next you'll be saying you'd rather have Championship quality players in the Championship over Premiership quality players.
