Two penneth 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Old, grumpy negative person here. Some of us tend to be ''glass half empty'' kind of people, love the club but fear the worst while hoping for the best. Doesn''t make me any less of a fan. We all have different personalities. I do understand that others on here do not want to read doom and gloom all the time though............ ................Would you believe it, it''s raining again now...oh well perhaps it''ll clear up later....

Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Watching Bilbao last season made me realise how good even mid-table Spanish sides can be. They completely outplayed Man Utd in both legs of their European tie and were a joy to watch as well. It suggested to me that the Premier League is below the level of the Spanish league.

Indy_Bones 441 Posted July 3, 2012 Bilbao were just like Swansea this year, in that they could play great football and get results at times, but they were never serious challengers for the big boys.How about a fair comparison of the quality of teams like Mallorca, Getafe and Osasuna to similar placed teams in the prem...

Lets be aving you! 0 Posted July 3, 2012 Disregarding Bilbao''s two thrashings of Man Utd, the record of Spanish clubs in European club competition was way ahead of that achieved by any other nation last year: European Cup seminfinalists: 2 out of 4 from Spain (Real Madrid and Barcelona) UEFA Cup semifinalists: 3 out of 4 from Spain (Atletico, Athletic and Valencia).

Obviously Madrid and Barcelona are the best two club teams in the world at the moment - Barcelona could be the best of all time. The bottom regions of La Liga aren''t great, but then neither is the EPL (or BPL). English teams are regulary shown up in Europe - but it is hard to know how hard they are really trying. I would say though that the Bundesliga is streaks ahead of Italy at the moment and there is no way on earth that Holland is the 5th best League. France is way superior of a dutch league that is rapidly heading downwards as the best young dutch players leave at younger and younger ages. I would put the Supa Liga and the Championship ahead of the Eredivisie, especially after last season. The Jupiler League is proably equally as good at the moment. For me I would rank the top 5 European leagues as;1) La Liga2) Premier League3) Budesliga (although most enjoyable to watch)4) Seria A5) Ligue 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiery Zac 1,065 Posted July 3, 2012 Crucially it''s not the respectable, competetive UEFA cup anymore but the Europa league where the only team that looked pleased to be there last season was Birmingham.Tha said, it is close between the PL and la liga but purely for the fact there was more than 2 teams that people thought could win the Pl last season before it kicked off and that any promoted teams have a good chance of staying up, I''d go for the PL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
