Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!
The axe murderer

Legend
Since the inception of the premier league only 6 teams have won in 24 seasons And Man U have won 23 of them. That's over half.
In that same time frame 5 teams have won la liga with Barcelona also having 13 titles and 6 different teams have won the bundesliga with Bayern winning 14 of those.
So you can stop with the PL being more competitive rubbish. That's yet more sky sports shyte to hype the league up.
Also lets have a look at the league tables.
As you can see the EPL in fact has the least competetive title race when compared with the bundesliga and la liga with a whopping 10 points separating 1st from second. So much for 6 teams being potential winners.
In Spain only 4 points separates the top 3, seems far more competitive from where I'm standing.
Stop living in the sky sports bubble mate the EPL isn't special, it isn't any more competitive than any other major league and isn't the best league in the world. It's just the best marketed.

10 points dont mean anything, in the EPL have a good chance at beating big teams. 2012, Man utd were 8 points ahead in April. Man city ended up winning the league on the last day & last kick of the seasonSince the inception of the premier league only 6 teams have won in 24 seasons And Man U have won 23 of them. That's over half.

When he was coaching the French national team, Laurent Blanc was caught on tape saying they needed a quota on black players
I wish those brothers played for their ancestral African teams instead (like Mahrez is doing for Algeria, despite being born in France).
African soccer has really suffered over the last 20+ years with this phenomenon. They've regressed.
Back in the early 90s, everyone was convinced that an African team would win the World Cup within 20 years... Now they're nowhere near that

PSG wanted to be the new Galacticos, it was never going to happen but they tried anyway...if anything shyt showed that Muenier/Marquinos are gassed. Silva is too old and Kurzawa
Barca said fukk it an went with a back three and Pique and Umtiti bullied them boys for the better part of 70 some odd minutes. PSG didn't help themselves either though.
And fair enough, especially Ramos is literally saving their season himself.
Once Conte figured out his tactics it wasn't close. Look at how Chelsea utterly dominate matches...
Chelsea also isn't playing european football either
so this concept that they could go to la liga and dominate AND play European ball as well....nah breh? Costa was a good, but unrefined striker with Athleti...dude goes to England and becomes basically the best striker in the Prem in a season. Really Chelsea could win La Liga?
Breh, they wouldn't even split the ties vs Atleti or Real or Barca. They struggle against pacey players guess what...La Liga only has 4 of the 5 most dominant wingers with pace on earth. I think even Sevilla would give Chelsea a good run...Breh, EVERYONE knew Chelsea was winning the league by the new year. So what are you talking about?
Just noticed the fella in front of Suarez trying to punch it away as well.
They basically had 3 keepers in.

Conte hasnt even bought his own players & look at him sitting on top. His using the basic players he got. Chelsea clearly need defenders, we using a makshift defense with basic defendersPSG wanted to be the new Galacticos, it was never going to happen but they tried anyway...if anything shyt showed that Muenier/Marquinos are gassed.

Barcelona has never dominated Chelsea, we have always handled them.

The only golf in class here is between Real/Barca and the rest of the league. The rise of Sevilla and Atletico are false dawns, similar to what we've seen before with the likes of Valencia, Deportivo, Villarreal, Athletic Club etc. Their best players get plucked off by Real/Barca/the big PL teams/Bayern/Juve, their manager fukks off, and they're never heard from again.
I may be wrong, and I personally would love to see an end the Real/Barca La Liga duopoly, but history has shown us time and time again to not get our hopes up.
You don't really believe this do you?
As much as it pains me to say, Arsenal are a good side and (in a league system) would give many La Liga teams a run for their money.
Also, hilarious as it was, you can't really use two legged Champions league-ties as a barometer for how a team would perform against similar opposition in a league system, given the contrasting dynamics of the two types of competitions.
And by La Liga you mean just Real Madrid and Barcelona?
Also, let's be honest, it's not always the absolute best they are plucking from the premier league:
Torres - past his sell by date when Atletico re-signed him
Alex Song - Why Barca bought him, I still don't know
Vermaelen - perennial crock who Arsenal couldnt wait to get shot of
etc.
Costa, Cazorla, Sanchez, Mata, Torres, Fabregas, Ozil, De Gea were players plucked by PL teams from La Liga in their respective primes, so its not all one way.
If you're a young footballer, there would be a lot of other factors that'll come into force when looking to sign your first contract, not just the prestige of the league.
Breh, I agree with you that La Liga at the moment is a stronger league than the Premiership, but you doing the most with this post.
