Lol,9 of those players play in the EPL

 

[themuel1]

Well, it is the best league in the world!

I enjoy watching the EPL,and it is my favourite league,but the mid-table teams in Spain will hammer the mid-table teams in England.

In Spain,you've got Villareal,Sevilla,Atletico Madrid, and Real Betis.

In England,you've got Tottenham,Middlesbrough,Bolton,and Aston Villa.

Those Spanish teams would absolutely HAMMER those English teams.

It is the most entertaining league in the world,but I wouldn't say its the best.

I hardly think hammer is the right word, and I am not convinced they would constantly beat the EPL teams either

If Arsenal do the business against Liverpool tomorrow we're into the Champions League. Just praying the FA or UEFA don't change the rules again and let Liverpool in...

I also hope Everton make it to the CL, as they deserve it, and have been far more consistent than Liverpool.

The Premiership is the true reflection of a team's consistency, and though Liverpool have been awesome in the CL, I think Everton should be in the CL next season!!

Dont worry....Milan will thrash Liverpool in the final

Well,most EPL teams are very inconsistant.Look at Tottenham.They beat Villa 5-1 last week and then lost 1-0 this week.

And now,after 5 years,an English team is in the CL final.

If they are the best league in the world,then surely,they should be in the final of the CL and Uefa Cup more consistantly.

I was rolling on the floor laughing when I read this: Arsene Wenger enraged Rafa Benitez by comparing Liverpool's run to the final to that of Millwal's final appearance in the FA Cup. :rtfl :rtfl :rtfl

Not neccesarily. The best league does not mean the best teams. Though some of the best teams are in the EPL, it the best league because it's the most entertaining, most compettive ( from 2nd place downwards). Example = no team has been relegated yet!

 

[gold639]

Thats what I said earlier.

The EPL is my favourite league,as it is the most entertaining.

In terms of Entertainment,no league can rival it.

If Norwich go and win at Fulham, we're staying up. Can we have a Vbookie on the Relegation Dog fight?

 

[gold639]

And a few weeks ago,you were saying,"I can safely say that Norwich will be relegated".

:rtfl

It shows us that anything can happen in the EPL,and no team should be written off.
