Glad that you understand that most people are a bit biased due to the media coverage.

I know lots of people who will never admit that. Well done!

La Liga:
The first league to have won the uefa and champs league in one year.
The first league to have 2 teams in the champs league final.
The team with the most champs league wins.

The list goes one....

Well they are not doing very well this year are they?

LoL - funny

You didnt make him famous. In Portugal he was already very famous. Another reason, showing me that you too narrow minded and only know Premiership facts.

ask any football fanatic about CR before United. they will agree that he was a big player in Portugal.

If that's true then why have no other teams approached him before we did?

Yes, nice history indeed. Where have they been the last few years?

 

[SuPaStA]

This is the first year in a while they have not done something in europe, last year they won the uefa cup.
Epl has not done much in years regarding europe.

 

[mercurial]

How can u ask what does that have to do with the quality of the league. LoL Are you serious?

It means that they have the quality to win the CL and Uefa Cup in the same here. It means they have DEPTH in their league. No other league has done it yet.

That was a once off thing dude. It means nothing.

Fair enough. I think the tides are turning though. EPL FTW

Football365's Most Wanted team for summer transfers...


I forgot about Bentley - he would not be the worst signing either. Cheaper than Berbatov and Ronnie I am sure

Let's be honest here, who gives a crap about the UEFA Cup? It's the CL that matters. According to your stats, they won it 2 years last. Since then, they've done nothing in the CL. They are in a decline. Italian clubs have done better.

 

[hj2k_x]

It means alot!! how can u say that?

They have always consistantly won in Europe.

Ok, to setlle this debate. Spain has been number one on the UEFA rankings for more than a decade!!!!!

How can you tell me that the Prem is better. Unless you want to argue with UEFA

Trophies aside, I think 'we' are arguing that the better footy is played in the PL - at least entertainment wise.

Your comments show your knowledge of football, lets not forget a few years ago man-u didn't even qualify for the uefa cup.

You talking about a league with easily the highest 0-0 draws in europe, how can it be the most entertaining?
The biggest players play in Europe and the EPL (maybe ronaldo this year) has not even won a fifa player of the year award.

Where are you getting these stats?

And there are often great players playing in the Prem. Consistently.

Oh really? When was that? I can't ever remember a time when Man United didn't qualify for the CL. In fact, we almost always get to the at least the knockout stages/quarter finals.

You like giving me ammo to shoot you down with hey

Lets talk about CL. Madrid has 9 titles!!! yes, 9 titles!!!

And what league do they play in??? What has England done in the CL? Cheslsea? United? Liverpool has done well tho.

but you cannot come close to comparing cabinets with the Spanish sides.

Yes comparing trophies we can't speak of, but don't just look at trophies. Look at the representation for all the stages of the competition. It's senseless you have one good team from a league that always wins it and all the other clubs from that league are hopeless. That's where EPL is better. Our clubs perform better consistently. Look at the trend the last few years. EPL is on the up and up.

Yeah, I am not sure what he is referring to there either.

 

[mercurial]

Its only people like you who dont give acrap about the UEFA cup. The UEFA cup has BRILLIANT sides!!! Come on man.

AC milan will be playing UEFA cup next year. So many great sides that won the CL have played in the UEFA cup.

It will only be a narrow minded supporter who will write off the UEFA cup.

I can honestly tell you that I don't know of anyone who watches the UEFA Cup. That is for the lesser clubs. Milan will be in there cos they are having a crap season.

 

[SuPaStA]

If they so great where is the fifa player of the year awards??
They have not won 1 award and its dominated by spain and italy.

That is a good point - I cannot remember who has won that, ever, not last year, not ever. It's like the European carling Cup

Well that might just mean that the awards were judged incorrectly, who knows? But to say that superstars have NOT been playing in England for decades is just crazy!
