Premier League 2013/14

[Ghost]

Just to make it clear:

I'm not arguing that La Liga is better. It isn't.

I'm just saying, the EPL is overrated. And everyone and thier mother knows who actually has a chance at the title.


Acting like Arsenal or Liverpool will win it is cool and all, and I actually would love for that to happen, but it won't. Everyone knows that. So just drop the act..

It's less predictable than La Liga, but it's still predictable.. And the quality is seriously overrated.


Chelsea vs United, United vs Arsenal, Liverpool vs United. This season...


All bored me to death.

Oh but they will. They will...

That's just untrue, Newcastle when on-form are a very good team, as they showed against the Spurs and Chelsea, and Everton are absolutely better than Getafe, do you really think that they would lose 7-0 to Atletico? They haven't lost at all this season (or lost once), and beat both Chelsea and Manchester City.



Swansea is nowhere as good as Atletico and Bilbao were two years ago, and United and City were nowhere as good as Barca and Real are now.

Newcastle are not a strong side and I would back Sevilla to beat them.

Swansea are not better than Valencia either, regardless of that Europa League result.

Still waiting for Chelsea's annual 9-0 win btw.

The premier league has a good atmosphere too. From top to bottom every club has a good support, be it home fans or away fans. The atmosphere of the crowd encourages the players to up the tempo.

Upping the tempo and generally making the quality of play worse though not better.

You mean to say the title race is predictable?

Because the premier league is one of the most unpredictable like I've said, mancity lose to sunderland one week and the next week beat Tottenham 6-0. manu beat Arsenal and the next draw Cardiff.

I'd love too to see that. I mean, I'm not a fan of either, but you know, it would be a nice change from United/Chelsea (or City in recent years).

I'm not sure what you mean by worse and better, but it definitely makes the game more exciting.

Of course the league will be more unpredictable if the top teams are not as good a standard as in Spain.

Man City lost to Sunderland with a CB pairing of Lescott and Demichelis!

Why won't it happen?

As for the fixtures, Liverpool 3-3 Everton, Swansea 2-2 Liverpool, City 4-1 United and 6-0 Tottenham, Aston Villa 3-2 City, West Ham 3-0 Spurs, Newcastle 2-2 Liverpool, United 3-2 Stoke, Chelsea 2-1 City, Chelsea 2-2 West Brom, Swansea 3-3 Stoke, and Cardiff 2-2 United were all fun games. Certainly a lot more fun and unexpected games than in La Liga.

Really?
I don´t watch much epl because i don´t really like the Teams but in the cl when Bayern played City or Arsenal Dortmund i was dissapointed.Bayern chelsea in the Supercup was even worse only Bayern fans seemed to make noise.

I think you'll find that many players who have come from Spain or Germany have spoken of the passion of football in the premier league and the support as reasons for coming.

Are you counting any team taking points off a top team from last season as exciting? Top six?

Yet La Liga only gets compared on its top three?

Why not point to a team like Arsenal - who are massively inferior to Real Madrid but have roughly the same results as them so far?

Yet 99% would choose Barcelona or Madrid ahead of going to a EPL side.

They are there for the money above anything else.

I was just naming games that were upsets, or had a lot of goals for both teams, or often both.

Not sure what you mean about Arsenal and Madrid.
