Top League Comparisons

[EKBATAN]

Milan were deducted 15 points, and finished 26 behind inter, so even without the point deduction, inter would have won.
the ones that were handed to them they would've won if juve and milan hadn't bought refs so that doesn't really matter, in the end the deserving team got the titles

just cuz a team came 2nd doesnt mean they still would've if the match fixing didnt happen. The whole table would've been different. Also, same time these match fixings were going on, those italian teams like juve and milan still made it far in CL and NONE of the players were put on trial for any of it meaning they werent aware. So its not that they didnt deserve to be up there cuz they still did good in CL which had no match fixing (as far as we know )

yeh but one match is often not a true reflection of a teams excellence.. thats why there are league championships. Anyway I think you'll that the past 5 years since liverpool -ac theres been an english team in every final and an all-english final and semi-finals. It shows the superiority of the english game against continental leagues.

in the final but in the last 4 there has always been an italian or spanish team too

which is why i dont agree with the reasoning cuz u can say the same about the other leagues too, CL performance of ONE team doesnt justify the WHOLE league...look at UEFA league for ex, where are the english teams there?

thats not a fair comparison, 2 of them were handed to them and the 3rd came because JUVE was in serie B and teams like milan and fiorentina were deducted bunch of points...so inter has really only won it the last few years...before that it was early 90s
anyway, my rating is as follows;
1) EPL & SERIE A
2) La Liga
3) Bundesliga
4) French league

oo really?
mayeb that's why English clubs have been dominating CL semis in the past 4-5 year
definitely a decline

^^^ when was the last time someone won serie a except inter? i think it's been like 6 years if you count in this season too since they have already won

La Liga only has Real madrid and Barcelona....the rest of the teams are boring to watch, come on....


EPL; when was the last time a bottom table team beat a top tier? i know it happens but very rare....like someone said when liverpoll can still stay in top 4 after all their injuries and problems and a teenage team like arsenal can be in top spot, then that speaks for itself...

[chuck bass]

the majority of the la liga CL wins coming for real madrid with 9 how does that comparison even make sense?
the fact that you have bastards like perez running the top teams in spain speaks for itself. goes to extreme debt just to bring top players into the team.
your reasoning is beyond retarded. try again

is citys owner any better than perez? or chelseas? or even uniteds, who asks his own players if they can borrow him money so he can pay off the clubs debt??

EPL is not as exciting as La Liga. my ass.

honestly i fall asleep trying to watch Xerex vs Osasuna (even with masoud and nekounam) and I enjoy watching bottom of the table teams Portsmouth vs Wolves x 10 more lol

[soheil86]

how can it not? they play the same style...yea the players might be from different countries but its the style of play. England hasn't done ANYTHING on the national team stage in decades.....are they still looking for the best coach? They've tried some of the best in the world.

and even when they won the 66WC, there are many theories that they cheated.

Cl trophies:
La Liga 12
EPL and Italy 11

Plus spanish league is so much more entertaining to watch with lots of attacking play and dominating game play. no other league can match spanish league specially this season the quality is too high, the fact that the top 5 players of the world are in spain speaks for itself.

Just a question to your obvious bias against the EPL.....

Where do Fabregas (by far the stand out midfielder in Europe this season, just look at his stats before you reply otherwise), Torres, Lampard, Drogba and Rooney fit into your best in the world?

You really live a sheltered life if you think the best 5 players in the world are in Spain.

Overall comparison in history, not whats going on this season....
English Premier League
Tier 1 : Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal
Tier 2: tottenham, aston villa, manchester city
Serie A
Tier 1: Juventus, ac milan, inter milan, Roma
Tier 2: Fiorentina, Genoa, Sampdoria, Lazio, Napoli
La Liga
Tier 1: Barcelona, Real Madrid
Tier 2: Valencia, sevilla, Villareal
Bundesliga
Tier 1: Bayern, Bremen, Schalke
Tier 2: Wolfsburg, dortmund, stuttgart

In Italy: add in Tier 1: Juventus Adesorus Turini

In Germany: add in Tier 1 also (hisrorically): Borussia Moenchengladbach (Golden 70ies with hippie hairs)
in Tier 2: Hamburg SV (early 80ies boombastic and winning European Cup in 1983 versus Juventus Adesorus Turini, Goal by Felix Magath, observed by Adesor Vafaseya's sexy eyes)

Thank you!

EPL = best in the world, most exciting, most watchable

why?

Any team from the bottom to top can beat each other on any given day. That's what makes it exciting to watch. There is no definite top 4 anymore... Aston villa, tottenham and man city are proving to be as good as the best team this season.

EPL has definiately not gone down hill, those who say that either don't watch it regularly or just think because Liverpool are playing bad that it must be. The reason why Liverpool and Man Utd aren't playing as well, aside from their own problems is that every other team is more challenging.
