Leicester have already done better than anyone expected.

At least we won't get knocked out by Italians. Pretty much the biggest insult going in recent years. :lol:

better then english players, see EC 2016, Wc 2014, ec 2012 etc. etc. etc.

BPL is carried by well paid foreigners, because someone needs to fill up to lack of knowhow of the englishmen

Honestly there isn't a leg to stand on.

Italian football was awesome when I was a kid, but it's gone to hell now. Just take a glance at Juventus. Undisputed best team in all of Italy, and cuadrado is in their starting 11.

The same cuadrado that was so shite in England, he couldn't knock, even temporarily(!) Willian out of Chelsea's team.

Then add in an assortment of la liga rejects like Higuain and khedira and you're the undisputed best?

Naaaaaaaaa. Not even a stump to stand on.

To be fair, it has happened a lot that a player doesn't work for one team and does for the other due to their style of play. Juventus have doen well over the past few years domestically and in Europe.

Let's all not forget the fact that basically all other European leagues except PL have important things called actual playstyles, having a gameplan laid out, or just basic tactical coaching, which players are used to and NEED to have at hand in order to perform decently.

Until Pep, Klopp or Conte joined PL teams, there were no such things in English football... PL and with it its coaches had zero to offer in those important fields of modern football, with only Laudrup (major) and Wenger (minor) as exceptions.
