I thought I'm watching the league 2 standings but it turns out that these are all EPL teams.
Looks like all the quality in the EPL is in the best 6-7 teams and the rest are mostly consisted of dumbass British players. Parma will probably teach all these teams a good lesson.
Serie A > EPL. Accept and obey. In the following years serie A will defo overtake EPL.

Just out of curiosity, have you seen Wigan play?

Would have argued with you if it were a couple of years ago Alen. But right now the level of football in the EPL for the last couple of years has been in steady decline. Out of that list for example, teams like Sunderland and Fulham were good teams that always gave United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool a hard time, especially at home. Right now, those teams in addition to teams like Everton and Aston Villa's levels have decreased considerably. The level of top teams in the EPL has been in steady decline as well. United and Chelsea are not powerhorses anymore, Arsenal have become almost pathetic, Pool have been poor for a long time now, ever since Rafa's last year in charge.

I'm not sure :lol:

At the moment I'm watching some championship game (Southampton-Blackpool) and I'm stunned at the lack of quality. I mean, it's not the best league, but it's the same level of quality as those no name teams from EPL I get to watch every week when they face the better teams. It's a pain watching them. Like the same team wearing different jerseys and kicking the ball forward, without the slightest bit of technique in the game. At least in Italy in Spain you can see natural talent in some players playing for the small teams.

I'm sure Man Utd have gone through a similar (but not quite as serious as this) spell of poor form before the new year, before lifting up for the final 4-5 months of the season. Losing Vidic is going to be huge for their season, because at the moment I don't really rate any of their CBs, nor their starting goalkeeper (haven't seen Lindegaard).

Even Spurs have been struggling in Europe (lost at home to PAOK), although I think they're playing weakened sides.

I watched most of Wigan's match against Wolves (I don't know why) and some of the match against Arsenal and I can confirm that they are perhaps one of the worst sides I've ever seen in the bigger leagues. No organisation, Rodallega is even more wasteful than Iaquinta. It's athleticism that carries these sides without talent or tactical awareness. Bolton are another team that I saw against Spurs and they were dreadful, at one point in the match there was a caption up saying that Spurs had 100% of possession in the previous 5 minutes. And they were completely fooled by movement in the penalty area at corners.

Slightly off topic to the Championship here, but can someone tell me how the initial guy in question in this video ends up with a 3 year ban from football?

The officer who he was speaking to first had no number on his uniform, as they were sent in to basically cause trouble with fans protesting about the owners, the guy pulled him up on it (it's against police policy) and then it escalated.

We're playing with 4 centerbacks today. All thanks to Wenger stupidly playing our only fit fullback in a meaningless game last week(CL game, Olympiakos). Whats worst is, our defense has improved considerably since Vermaelen coming back to the starting lineup and now we're forced to stick him on the left, and rely on the pathetic duo of Koscielny and Mertesacker :sergio:

Might not do us a lot of harm today, but next week against City is going to be really tough playing with this depleted defense.
