No I find United very interesting to watch with the rapist, Nani, Kagawa and co. Chelsea are also interesting with the likes of Mata, Hazard and Lampard. Tottenham despite losing Modric and VDV still have the likes of Bale and Dembele. City obviously with the likes of Silva, Nasri, Tevez and Aguero.

You look at Milan's current team, and who do you see, Montolivo? Pazzini? Nocerino? :howler:

The same goes for Roma and Inter. They just have such underwhelming teams nowadays.
I give you United, Chealse and City, but Tottenham?!

All in all it's down to preference, I find all of the EPL and La liga very boring... But then again I find Serie A bar Juve boring.

ask MU fans if they're sorry that Arsenal and Liverpool have dropped out of the competition with them. Same with us, our rivals' troubles is music to us.

Last season they were incredibly dull as well, perhaps the only team I struggled to watch in Serie A.

The only English game I've seen this season was Everton v Man Utd. I enjoyed Fellaini violating Carrick. Kagawa looked promising. Rooney was awful, really terrible. United had no midfield either. Gibson and some other guy completely dominated Scholes and some other guy. And Gibson is shite.

Of course it is. I think you guys could probably afford to focus on doing well in Europe while not worrying too much about domestic competition. It will work in your favor imo.

Yup, only watched them for Zlatan personally.

Same for me! Everton-MU was the only game from PL i've seen so far. :) And Fellaini was class.

Or do you guys agree that Serie A has become a snooze fest, but would like to try and change the subject?
It most probably became a snooze fest to an outsider, but to us it's as interesting as it ever was. Our team is in that league and we're interested in following our rivals, wishing them the worst. It's not like I was watching Milan, Inter, Napoli, Lazio, Roma etc back in 2001 so I could enjoy the football. I watched them for the same reason I watch them now - to cheer against them and hope they lose points. When one looks at things that way, from fan's perspective, the league is always interesting.
Actually, back in the days I used to watch many leagues. Now I'm much more concentrated on serie A, despite it being of lower quality compared to the last two decades.

I intend to follow English football the same way I did last season, by listening to the Guardian's Football Weekly podcast. Chelsea are evil, goals are overrated and international football should be scrapped.

Why so defensive?

I fail to see what Arsenal or Ligue have to do with this?

calling Serie A a snoozefest whilst enjoying Ligue 1 is just absurd, that is THE most boring football league bar none.

this year so far, well we had 34 goals in Week 1 and a cracking Inter-Roma game in Week 2.

This league has become such a snooze fest. I used to always look forward to 2-3 games a week, looking at the fixture list, there is little to be excited about really. Shame that teams like Inter, Milan and Roma have become so underwhelming.
The quality in Serie A clearly isn't what it was, and isn't comparable to what there is in England and Spain just now, but the matches in Serie A are still more interesting to me than those in other leagues.

Everton and Newcastle are the only teams I find interesting just now in England.

On the other hand, Juve, Napoli and Roma look interesting this season and I'm curious about Lazio and Fiorentina.

Big name fancy players don't make teams interesting, haven't watcheda Real or Barca match in ages and I still watch teams like Fiorentina and Sampdoria, although I'm aware that none of their players would make the bench under Mourinho or that new Barca coach.

Sometimes it's good just to watch great players.

More often, though, I want to see teams with plans and tactics - not just showing up and assuming they'll win because they have the best players.

And Serie A is still tactically far more interesting than other leagues.
