Inter are not a very enjoyable team to watch at all. Manchester United are.


Being the best football team has nothing to do with entertaining.

The prettiest don't win the league, which is why Inter won a treble and were clearly the best European team last season, because they won.

The whole time we were talking about "entertainment" only. Thats what the whole debate is/was about. Clearly i wouldn't be comparing Arsenal to Inter if the debate was about who the "better" team was.

There is no debate at all as to whether the EPL is better than the Serie A right now. It is debatable however, which is more enjoyable to watch, and that is what we were debating.

But you said 'better football' which has nothing to do with entertainment.

The EPL is 10X more entertaining imo.

Which is what i was arguing. We're in agreement then.

Do you think Inter will still be the superpower they were last season in Europe, now that Jose is gone??

Edit:

.

Maybe the use of the word "better" isn't right. But stop being a pedant:)P), you know people mean more entertaining football when they say better football nowadays, it might not be right technically, but people say it nonetheless

Sorry, but I'd rather watch Catania vs. Siena than Wolves vs. Stoke. The bottom half matches of the Prem are just shit.

What is "more enjoyable" or "more entertaining" depends on the style of football you like. If you're more into American football and track and field, then the Prem suits you well.

I'd tend to agree with that, the bottom end of the EPL rely almost completely on route one football. At the same time, i'd rather watch Tottenham, Everton, City and co over Sampdoria, Palermo and Napoli any day of the week.

The top teams in the EPL are more enjoyable to watch than Inter, Juve and Roma(Ranieri's Roma) too.

I am not a pedant, I like grown up girls :stuckup:



Genoa-Samp is my favourite football game after Juve-Inter and Juve-Torino, then United-City

United and Arsenal perhaps, not Chelsea and Pool. Although the former can play good football then they want.

Everybody nuts themselves over Spurs but I couldn't keep my owns open for the match today, so I fell asleep again.

Pool can play good football at times too. Ironically they were always a boring team to watch under Rafa until last season, last season they were rather good to watch at times, even though it was their worst season.

I only saw one half today of the Spurs game, the second half i heard was rather dire. But usually Spurs are a really nice team to watch too.

Pool was fun to watch because they were so poor.
