The post that was quoted here has been removedHey man, no need to be so personal - we don't all agree, and I actually think people have misunderstood some of what you are saying, but no need for that kind of thread.......
Originally posted by Esotericthat doesnt make any sense at all...!!! so you're saying the sides in the epl are better, but the league is not.... dont the sides make up the league???
Roma deserve that. Arrogant b@stards.
I said the league outclassed the EPL, not sides (as has been shown by Man U).

I think he has been suggesting that Serie A and La Liga are better due to the more competitive nature of the leagues.....not just saying the standard is better.....
This is probably true for Spain at the moment....much closer competition between the top few teams that EPL has had for a long while.....
Originally posted by ElleEffSeeeI never said the sides were better either. All I am trying to say is that the calibre of competition between clubs is better than the EPL. I never said that the Italian/Spanish teams are better, i never said that the English teams are better. I am saying as a whole, the calibre and competitiveness is better.
Why are you getting angry? I think we're all a little confused how the EPL can be of a lesser standard than Serie A, when you say it's sides (i.e. team for team) are better than the Italians. Can you explain more?
Originally posted by EsotericI don't see any evidence that the competitiveness is better in Serie A than the EPL.

Originally posted by ElleEffSeeeGo back for the last 20 years and tell me how many English clubs have won the UEFA Cup and Champions League.

As I posted earlier, the difference between 1st and 4th in points at the end of the season in the EPL was:
12,16,16,30,34,24,22 (current)
In Serie A these differences were:
19,16,12,23,23,22,32 (current)
Considering Serie A plays 4 less games than the EPL, ...[text shortened]... Champion's League/European Cups:
England clubs 10
Italy clubs 10
Where's the difference?
