Optimistic Nut Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well ok. If you were to have 10 two-legged games in May where 1st in England played 1st in Spain, 7th in England played 7th in Spain, 16th in England played 16th in Spain, etc. I reckon Spain would win 13-14 of them.

Newcastle Fan Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think teams such as Zaragoza and Athletico Madrid are the teams he means. While Zaragoza is debateable,i think A.Madrid are a class team Real Madrid meanwhile are a team that i think even we can defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Even Racing could be closing on a uefa place mainly down to Zigic and also their centre half who's got about 8 goals all be it from the penalty spot more often than not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yet are still better than the likes of Bolton, Everton, Spurs & Newcastle I'd say. disagree completely tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Zaragoza is a very good team. Sitting 4th in La Liga atm. ..and they beat Real Madrid 6-1 last season. mackems.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 So how come Blackburn, Spurs & Newcastle didn't get any further than the last 8, and 3 Spanish sides have made the last 4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 So how come Blackburn, Spurs & Newcastle didn't get any further than the last 8, and 3 Spanish sides have made the last 4? None of those went out to mid-table, Spanish opposition... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 So how come Blackburn, Spurs & Newcastle didn't get any further than the last 8, and 3 Spanish sides have made the last 4? Because they are managed by a bunch of cunts The same can go for the champions league,since 3 english teams have reached the semi's then its the strongest league in the world. Players wise,talents wise us and spurs ARE better then the likes of Zaragoza and Espanyol. But they way we play,the way our players preform,the way our cunt of a manager uses the players is whats keeping us from reaching the semi's or the final of the UEFA cup,heck we got knocked out by a Dutch team who has relativly unknown players.

Nate Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 And those Spanish sides haven't went out to anyone. Still, you can't compare teams based on one-off cup ties, nevermind when they're not even against each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great they've performed better this season in the competition, dosent mean there a better team overall. Teams like Depor and Villareal didnt even make the uefa cup.

Guest optimistic nit Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 who the fuck gives a shit whether player for player a mid table prem team is better or worse than a mid table la liga team. Its all going to be speculation, untestable speculation, based on predjudices when the likely answer is that the leagues are pretty equal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Well ok. Put Newcastle & Blackburn in La Liga and I don't think they'd have finished anywhere near 6th & 7th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor have the teams you've mentioned, barring Sevilla the highest team you said was Espanyol who are 10th... Osasuna, Deportivo and Villarreal are all below that.

Guest kingdawson Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 ok ill do a quick comparision. This is based on player potential and overall quality of the squad. Top six premiership clubs 1) Chelsea 2) Manchester united 3) Arsenal 4) Liverpool 5) Spurs 6) Newcastle Top six Spanish clubs 1) Barcelona 2) Real Madrid 3) Valencia 4) Sevilla 5) Athletico 6) Zaragoza verdict = Premiership just nick it imo. Premierships Next Batch of clubs 7) Everton 8, West Ham 9) Blackburn 10) Bolton Spain's next baxt batch of clubs 7) Villareal 8, Deportivo 9) Espanyol 10) Racing Santander Verdict= I think Everton will beat any of those Spanish teams on any given day but spain might just nick this one.

Yorkie Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 What an anti-climax it would be if the two finalists were Espanyol and Osasuna. However, i did say YONKS ago that i fancied Espanyol. Go me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
