Well following your logic that makes Premier League a one team league!  ;)



The only reason it might be a minority in this forum is that there are more PL fanboys here. However - and this is where you're absolutely right - that doesn't change reality:
La Liga will win the Cups, take over the #1 spot in UEFA rankings again and build up a new generation of excellent Spanish youth players while Premier League can gloat about the number of CL quarter and semi finalists, buy foreign stars for foreign oil money and cripple England's slim chances of winning anything in the near future in the process.


Can we clarify something: do u honestly think, that winning EL is better than reaching CL semis? Really???
And besides, don't even strart about money, cuz EPL at least don't need their government to bail'em out.

Winning more titles in both competitions is certainly better than winning less titles but more semifinalists in one competition, yes! :P

And about money: You have no clue. The spanish government has not even agreed to bail them out and they will most likely NOT do it. The only reason something like that isn't up for discussion in England is that their debts are mostly covered by FOREIGN (oil) money, because overall it's much higher!

I neither said nor implied they never buy stars! Learn to read, because YOU are the joke for this "argument"! Actually it was a PL fanboy's point that they have more stars! :rolleyes:

No you weren't. You tried to read something into my statement and call it my logic. You failed and it came back to bite you in the ass so now you dodge the fact, that Premier League is a one team league if La Liga is a two team league. But keep trying. ;)

Seria A the best league in the world then!!!
Also I'm still looking for explanation, how winning a cup, where only teams, that are not good enough for CL compete is actually better than being among Top-4 European Clubs.

Not in the last couple of years, not right now! Overall since 1992 yes, not since 2000! You seem to disregard the fact that the positions can and do change!

You are looking for an explanation of a thesis including assumptions you made to make EL look irrelevant while reality showed that even PL teams that were strong enough to qualify for Champions League failed horribly in it!

No matter how you look at it you have no valid arguments. Even if EL was too weak (why don't PL team dominate it then? I thought they are the strongest league except from place one and two - and don't say they don't care - because their managers will tell you the opposite and their lineups too!) La Liga would still be > Premier League since they also won more Champions League titles!

You're trying hard to dodge the facts and make PL look better than it is but at the end of the day you have no arguments!

Pozer summed it up quite nicely (you didn't say it like this but it seems to be your attitude as well):

Regardless of what happens, Prem >>> lol liga


This is basically what you're all saying. Regardless of reality, arguments and facts - Premier League is better, no matter what. Nice fanboy opinion! :rofl:

Are u cerial? Do u expect a manager to say publicly, that he doesn't really give a damn about the loss? And for the line-ups proving it, I already told u how Spurs were concerned about EL, when they played their youths in a decisive group game, cuz they had an important fixture at the weekend. Ur effort to try to convince someone, that the likes of City and Utd were worried about EL just shows how little u know about it in general. The title race at that point was at it's peak, and neither of them would trade valuable points in the league to a victory in cup of much lesser importance. They're European season effectively was over, when they fucked up in CL. Claiming that EL is important to teams of that caliber is the same as trying to prove, that Liverpool after winning Carling and FA ( assuming they will) had a better season than a team with top-4 finish.
It almost as ridiculous as claiming that Real Madrid or Barca are shit, cuz they get koed from Copa del Rey. If u follow football a bit more, than just playing FIFA on ur console, u should realize by now, that different teams have different goals for the season, and a top team will never focus their full attention to a consolation prize ( EL in City's or Utd's case) if their primary target hasn't been achieved yet.
