Alex 30360 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I was comparing the lower reaches. Also, the caveat you mentioned before is valid. Europa league success isn't better than remaining in the Premier League for English clubs. Â How often do the English clubs take it seriously? Â End of the day I'm not saying the Premier League is the best, just that people stating its poor compared to the others are just saying that because they don't watch the other leagues as much. Â Familiarity breeding contempt and all that. You can equally make the argument they aren't able to field strong sides because they lack strength in depth though. Either way it's subjective, unlike the actual results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8985 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 But the results are subjective. If one side isn't treating the competition as a priority of course the result is subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 8985 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 You're using success in a competition that one side isn't taking seriously as evidence that the other side is better. Â So every fortnight, I play tennis against Andy Murray, he's not arsed & spends the match texting pictures of blue waffles to his LADZ, so I win. By your rationale, I'm consistently proving that I'm better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2406 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I don't think a cup competition is a great way of comparing leagues. Â Isn't that exactly how they are measured though? Â The co-efficient values are calculated on performance in the CL and EL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the European elite are better than the English elite. But they're not indicative of their leagues in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ULSTER MAG 0 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Premier League is overated, take out the top 5 or 6 and the rest are just happy to be in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14030 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I'd definitely rather be watching a lower-half Bundesliga game than a lower-half Premier League game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8985 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Premier League is overated, take out the top 5 or 6 and the rest are just happy to be in it. Ditto La Liga, Ligue Un, Bundesliga, Eredivisie. Â Guarantee if everyone watched La Liga for a few seasons they'd be bored of every game involving teams outside the top 3 or 4.

aimaad22 3442 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Aye, but you know these days I prefer watching a game involving lower spanish/german division teams to say something involving the likes of Villa/West Brom or other teams from the premier league. Usually more skill on display even if the atmosphere isnt as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
