The EPL is more exciting generally.

I still enjoy watching Serie A more, though, because it is more tactically interesting.

Part of it is that the EPL is just a better version of what I see every week in the SPL. Serie A offers something very different.

La Liga does nothing for me.

I don't find Barça or RMadrid in La Liga entertaining anymore, it's like I saw it all before now. Only worthy games are El Clasico. The rest of the league is disgusting, worst coaching in the history of football.

EPL is slightly better, but Man City were winning 6-0 ahead of Burnley in one half? And Chelsea 7-0 against Stoke? I don't like that, I can't watch teams below the top 6 or 7 clubs.
A few freak results here and there do not change much for me, its not like these results happen every month.

But i will say this, the bottom tier of clubs in the EPL are the most boring out of all 3 of the top leagues, they play boring one route football that is not easy on the eye and sometimes are guilty of comical defending. But teams like Fulham, Everton, A.Villa and Birmingham are competitive most of the time.

And it's not because of Chelsea or Man City superiority to their Italian counterparts. Inter beat Chelsea twice in this season but they never manage to beat a team in the league with such a stupid margin.

Thats mostly due to the different approaches. In Italy even the top teams, when they get a 2 goal margin they never try and score more. While teams like City, Arsenal, United and Chelsea will always try and score as much goals as possible. The notion of defending a lead is almost non existent in the EPL

Exactly, people moan about managers in Serie A not being attack minded enough but the organisation of their teams is so much better, it makes it enjoyable. Even Siena pushed Inter to a 4-3 last minute result this season.

I'd love to see Sampdoria try and win 9-1 against Lazio like Spurs did to Wigan.

I'd also like to see Lazio beat Milan after they are 2-0 down at the end of the first half, like Wigan did with Arsenal.

I'd also like to see Lazio beat Inter, like Wigan beat Chelsea.

I find the bottom end of the PL teams incredibly boring and lacking, but English football can always fall back on its speed and unpredictability. The good teams are the ones who combine that with the better parts of other games.

I already said the bottom tier of teams in the EPL are not as good as their Italian counterparts, but the top 10-12 teams in the EPL are arguably better and imo more interesting to watch than the top 10-12 of the Serie A.

Give Milan Fabianski and Silvestre and they'll make it happen.



Catania beat Inter 3-1 and they're on the same points as Lazio.

Don't Milan already have Favalli and Bonera?

As for the second point, exactly this could go on forever. Burnley are 6 points behind Wigan and they beat United 1-0

Well Catania, a team that is in a much lower ranking than Lazio and much less quality, managed to kick inter's ass with a 3-1 result. Atalanta did the same last season while Sampdoria did that to inter too this season while I can't see any midtable team in the EPL that could be said to be on pair with Doria's quality, they're all better, yet it's Doria that will probably end up playing CL next season not forgetting them kicking inter's ass early in the season with inter's first defeat.

Man City and Tottenham are both better teams than Sampdoria.

Just Favalli for their last game, wouldn't you rather have them to Silvestre though?

And yeah, second point could go on and on. Best just agree that it's much better than Xerez players running away from Barcelona. :p

Of course i would rather have them to Silvestre. But then again, you look at the rest of the squad and even our weak squad is much better than Milans squad overall.

As for the Liga, even though Barca and Real sweep teams away, their style of football is very entertaining

Ofcourse they are and that's why I said "they're are not on pair, they're better" :shifty:


I was just giving examples from Serie A like the ones you posted earlier where you said that in the EPL teams like Wigan beats Chelsea and Arsenal while Siena almost did that this season and Bari walked away with a draw in the first game of the season against inter playing at home and Catania thrashed inter 3-1.

Looks that way. If there is a gagging order then we won't hear much until that is lifted if at all, but the sources have been credible before - Terry for one. He has supposedly offered the girl a lot of money to have an abortion, the smart girl isn't doing it. Supposing it is true, I think Gerrard might want to keep secret that he is a borderline nonce :lol: :shifty:
borderline? :claire:
