I don't hate the EPL as much as I hate the annoying bandwagon jumping fanboy cunts that support the teams in that league.
And to be entirely honest, I dont think the football in the EPL is as good as most make it out to be (I actually think the quality has dipped big time in the past 4-5 years), but meh I'm not gonna convince others that it's shite or whatever, everyone has their own free will to watch what they want and their own taste when it comes to football.
I'll watch it because I love football and I like watching sports in HD, but I'll still take Serie A over it any day of the week.
