He's a Premiership homer who slags off La Liga every chance he gets, but otherwise he's quite decent, really.

From my personal experience, EPL fans listen to Andy grey, Mark Lawrenson, Phil Thompson etc and they believe them. This makes them so arrogant and they completly reject anything which isn't in England or English. Leo Messi is a perfect example of how the english media can down play a great player just like that and for the fans to actually believe them..until they see him for themselves.
On the subject of the English hype machine I remember The Guardian's otherwise decent analysis of the Barcelona vs Arsenal match that I was reading before the game, they mention how Barcelona has allowed the least amount of goals in La Liga but dismissed it as meaningless because La Liga is "sub-SPL quality"
This is the type of ignorant arrogance that makes some of us so rabid when it comes to the Premier League. It's common sense that the EPL would be the most popular league to talk about among English speaking football fans, but that doesn't mean we all have to drink the kool aid.
Did you watch the Arsenal - Barca games on English TV?
Nobody is down playing Messi, they haven't done since his performance at Stamford Bridge a few years ago. In fact people like Andy Gray were going over the top about his performance at the Camp Nou.

and what do you (and 90% of this forum) do about the PL every single chance you get?
come on, dude, he's an english man who supports an english team. of course he will lean towards the english league and send some banter our way.
I know, I get it, there's no hard feelings either way.
I have no problem with banter and that's why I get upset when someone like Edward takes my comments too seriously. There's a difference between petty cheap shits and disgusting garbage like that recently banned clown was bringing here.
who do shamrock rovers play?
I am really disappointed....no EPL idiots to argue with anymore...I just hope the Italians or even the Germans can compensate for even a fraction of that overwhelming avalanche of stupidity...
