Entertaining league but la liga is miles ahead in terms of quality
The main thing the English game is lacking is tactics. It's been stated on here, TV, and you see it when the games are played. It's getting there but it should really already be there with the London and Manchester clubs that are currently in the tournament. All four of these managers and squads got enough experience in the CL.
I wouldn't say the quality overall is better. The quality of the their top teams right now is better tho. I'll agree with that.
EPL/BPL>>>>>>
The EPL managers like Jose and LVG have all managed teams abroad and won CL with them... I think we just underestimate teams like Porto and the other lower ranked teams that we are expected to beat, and teams that play 'us' for them its like their CL final and elevate their game like 100%, but if we were to play them in a domestic league we would beat them 9/10... -
just lost money on my bet at half time sigh! Barcelona did their thing, didnt expect chelsea not to come back and definately knew arsenal would fail
-
That Suarez goal. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
^^^ even tho I don't like dude.. That goal was world class: plus his shoutout to #diez (Messi) was dope...

yeah but except for Chelsea and maybe Man U, the prem doesnt have any feared teams in Europe. Porto are on another lvl than PSV but teams like PSV and Olimpiacos are atleast better than the west ham's and leicester city's. Teams like Porto n Benfica are on the same lvl as Arsenal, they would go for a top 4 spot in the prem...teams like Zagreb n Bate Borisov on the other hand would be fighting relegation...Psv would be struggling for a EL spot lol.
Arsenal basically been on Schalke status for years, city has massive potential but suck in the CL for some reason and man u still needs to prove theyre back...only Chelsea has been holding the prem down in Europe lol. -

well yea...one of these teams actually gives you some hope...jags pick in the top 10 every year -
does someone actually want to make a case for epl>la liga that involves anything other than "anyone can beat anyone"?

tactically it isn't even close...even the quality of their bad teams is better than that of the bad teams in the epl...their top 3 teams would finish 1,2,3 in epl...arsenal/united would probably finish outside the top 6 in la liga -
anyway...the day has finally come...It's time for Wenger to step down at the end of the season...offer Ancelotti the job tomorrow for him to start next summer
AW just can't coach to the necessary level to compensate for our lack of resources...and these ? players are not playing hard for him...poor coaching plus players under performing = the disaster of a season we have
and while i'm making requests, plz sell the team to a more ambitious owner...plz -

ANYONE CAN BEAT ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stoke away on a weekday night..... DUH........ -
On a side note, what Yacine Brahimi did to Ivanovic today was totally unfair. In some countries, they arrest folks for that type of assault.

I trust Mourinho, but he seems to have a blind spot when it comes to Ivanovic. -

Good. -
Yeah it's back! A loss on Sunday might have me rocking that in the sig.
We need one of those a-rabs or Africans to buy the club and pump some life back in to it. No Americans or Jews.
New owner, new board, new manager. -
EPL >>>> the rest.
No need to make a case.
But I'll just say that it takes players from Spain a while to adjust to the physical side and speed of the PL.
No game in the PL is a gaurenteed win for the top clubs, it's not like that in any other league.
Top 3 Spanish teams would struggle in our league to keep up.
Imagine Barcelona playing on cold Sunday afternoon up north in the middle of December...lol -

Depends on the player. Özil and Sanchez hitting the ground with no problems. Di Maria couldn't handle it.
C/S the bold.
A freezing cold wet winter night with a frozen pitch. -
