yes and maybe

very true... i have to admit i had epl > la liga, too. but this season is certainly different.

especially united. in my eyes they were the only european team to match the big two from spain. this year however they are a major disappointment - it's not so shocking THAT they lost but HOW they lost. kicked out from a very easy CL group and now against bilbao - 1st game could have easily been 5-2 and 2nd game 4-1 - bilbao completely dominated united!
same goes for city - they had a hard group in CL but everyone thought they or united would win europa league easily...

well i guess it goes to show that every team / league can have a weak season. but i expect them to come back big time next season. same goes for premier league. this season obviously belongs to spain (barcelona & atletico) but i don't see spain overtaking england in UEFA league coefficient any time soon.


to sum it up:

this season: la liga > epl
long-term: epl > la liga

I agree with most of what you've said, but only a miracle would stop La Liga from overtaking England. Right now EPL is 4 points ahead, but they will automatically loose that difference next year (because that advantaage comes from an old season), and considering the amount of points Spain will most likely gain during the following months (they still have 5 teams competing and there aren't any nonspanish clubs clearly superior to any them), the english clubs would have to do a really good european performance next season.

oh... i thought england was leading by quite a margin... well looks like they will have to fight to regain #1 spot... and maybe financial fairplay will make it a 3 horse race...

this is a really down year for united, midfield is in shambles and rooney is the only consistent scoring threat period (hell he's probably the best mf too)

major signings need to be conducted, giggs and scholes as the best two mfs = not good

all > epl

The reality is simple: if, as a player,u are not in Spanish, Italian big boys or Bayern- Premiership is still the place to be. I'm not taking anything away from Bilbao or Sporting, but drawing a comparrison of leagues' strength from 2 games between teams is silly. For example City are contenders in EPL, but got KO'd by Sporting, who in turn are 4 th in Portugal and have no chance of going any higher. So does that mean, that Portugese league is better than EPL?

Manchester is finally erased on the european map of fottball. I love it.
No matter how much money u spend on a team, they cant win if they´re full of act1 mercenaries. Except for Rooney and silva they are too old overrated.

Fuck me, that's a whole new level of mongness.
waw would be proud of you.

who ar what is a waw?
