and they would do it with their bench team

it's always funny to read britbongs on the topic of football, it's similar to when americans discuss it

>>74425686
Seething!

Go defend your "pure" league where one team financially dominates every other by orders of magnitude, receives unfair gov. assistance, has overtly corrupt chairmen somewhere else.

You are hypocritical to the point of me questioning your sincerity.

>>74425643

I think it is language barrier

>>74425686

It's always funny when a hard-working German citizen reacts to bait with their hilarious german humour.

>>74425282
Absolutely right. No contest OP. EPL is in a it's own tier. Just imagine if you had a national team that lived up to your league. Wouldn't that be great?

Tbh your right

You're absolutely right tbqh

Other than the all seater stadiums and middle class fans from high ticket prices it's the best league easily.

>>74429201
and the slapstick on the pitch but who cares ab out the actually team quality if you can have

>size
>asian market

Literally MLS

It's a shit league really, the WNBA isn't better than the NBA because of it's poor quality and randomness
2005 and 2012 were absolute fortune for example, I loved seeing Bayern lose but the the truth is Bayern domintaned as did Milan, English clubs in Europe are a joke

>>74429270
From mid to late 2000's, the English league had the best teams in Europe. It was basically, Milan, Barcelona and the 3 English teams.

You probably think football started in 2010 and that Bayern, Real and Barcelona were always the 3 strongest teams, but that was not always the case.

You have to go back Sky Sports Salesman, the quality is generally shit when's theres not much difference between the bottom teams in the PL and non league Sutton United.

>2005 and 2012 were absolute fortune for example

You were saying that in 2005 and 2012 English teams were already weak.

You are as dumb as your Brexit """""strategy"""""

>>74425282

>the most amount of teams with a chance to win

League Winners over the last 20 years;

Irish league: 9 clubs
English league: 5 clubs

Ireland 1 England 0

>anyone can beat anyone

Not as much as in the Irish League

Ireland 2 England 0

>more than one team has financial monopoly over the league

We can rephrase this as "more than one american, russian and arab have the monopoly on the league and clubs", whereas Irish league and clubs are 100% Irish sovereign property

Ireland 3 England 0

>overall better exciting football

According to the opinion of chinks, amerifats, singaporeans, borneans, zambians, ceylanese and other football illiterate people, whereas Irish League is superior according to the opinion of football expert palate of Europeans and Latinamericans.

Ireland 4 England 0

>higher attendances

Only because english stadiums are bigger than Irish ones. The superior quality of the Irish aficionado compensates for that.

Ireland 5 England 0

-Extra bonuses:

>basedness

Irish clubs do not compete internationally because they are true blue Irish nationalists that do not believe in communism. English do, and get regularly btfo and humilliated every year.

Ireland 6 England 0

>Noble spirit

Irish clubs have renounced willingly renounced world domination in order to have to have small but 100% national irish finances over the league and clubs. English league and clubs are dominated by big foreign moneys, but doesn't spare them from being embarrassed, dominated, humilliated and absolutely BTFO in the pitch by a legion of foreign clubs with 10-20 times LESS budget. Year after year after year after year.

Final score:
Ireland 7 England 0

>>74429330
England has Manchester, City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Germany has Bayern.
Spain has Madrid and Barcelona. Atletico and Sevilla are Tottenham tier in terms of money.
Italy has Juventus

You know what monoploly means, right?

>>74429385
You know he was not being literal, right?

Can't see how people slate it.

Jurgen Flopp
Poop Guadiola

They can't even manage premier teams. They aren't ready for the premier league

>>74429390

You seem to confuse means and end.

Over the last 20 years, 5 english clubs have manage to win the league; city, united, chelsea, arsenal, leicester. Exactly the same number of spanish teams; Madrid, barcelona, atleti, valencia, deportivo.

What does that say about le financial parity and its correlation to actual results?

And we're talking Madrid Barcelona here, the 2 biggest clubs in the world...

Spain 1 England 0

>>74426520
More competition and parity between the teams

>>74429424
Real Madrid was not that amazing before the Galactico era and after that era weakened, they only got really good when Mourinho came. Before that, they were Arsenal tier.
Barcelona was also not that great before Ronaldinho Gaucho's generation and then Messi.

In the last 10 years only once a team that was not Real Madrid or Barcelona won the Spanish league.
In the last 4 years, every year a different team won the EPL.

>>74425282
>>the most amount of teams with a chance to win
MLS.
>>anyone can beat anyone
Obvious lie unless you're talking about the MLS.
>>more than one team has the financial monopoly
It's usually two, and for EPL it's four. MLS on the other hand is devoid of such issues.
>>over better exciting football
Actually, it's only the first three things you have over other euro cups. The parity comes at expense of actually good football.
Also since 2000 5 different teams had won championships in the EPL while 7 different teams had done it for Ligue 1, the major league considered to have the least parity.
>>higher attendance
Ad populum.

>>74429674
>7 different teams
My bad, 8 different teams.

>>74429537
>Real Madrid was not that amazing before the Galactico era

they won 2 CL's in 3 seasons before Perez came...

>>74429537

Real Madrid was the best in late 90s early 00's, won 2 CL just before the Galactico era, 1 at the beggining of that era in '02, and turned into an absolute disgraceful piece of shit right after that when Beckham came and Figo, Zidane, and Fat Ronaldo became old people and all the football illiterates around the world were being spoonfed 'muh Galacticos stronk and amazing, tbqh!" by the media, to the point that Florentino was forced by the socios to fuck off in 2006 or 07.

Still that's 2 CL in 2 years more than Arsenal have in their entire pathetic trophy-less history. Their tier is the one of Panathinaikos, Hamburg, IFK Goteborg and the likes.

Barcelona was plagued by dutch players and Van Gaals philosophy during late 90s and early 00, until they got rid of both and started building a team around a number of players (Etoo, Deco, Ronaldinho, Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Puyol, etc). Rijkaard did a great job with that but Ronaldinho only had a couple of good seasons. Literally all of the other players mentioned (plus Poop later) were much more crucial to the success of Barca than Ronaldinho.

What's an epl?

Lel be quiet yer sheep shagger no one cares

>>74430804

Because you are a pleb. Go watch kids play football in the school, that's also quite pacey and entertaining.

As for Leicester being the EPL champions with that defence (which was supposed to be their strong point) and then watch Sevilla batter it like butter from all sides for the entire game... kek

>>74430903
>As for Leicester being the EPL champions
But they aren't champions of an EPL

That sounds like its a bunch of teams that are shit at spending their money, and the one who chokes the least wins, only to go, choke and lose at Europe.

>overall better exciting football
Interesting, in what sense?

>higher attendances
What does that have to do with anything?

english premier league

>>74431237
But it isn't called "English Premier League". It is just called "Premier League"

>>74431249
how do you differenciate it from the maltese premier league? it's the english premier league

>>74431280
By calling the Maltese league "Maltese Premier League" which is it's name. There is no "English" in the Premier League's name. Do you mean the EFL? That does have "English" in it's name

Do you say SLL and GBL as well?

>>74431301
it's a localization concept, people sometimes say spanish la liga too.

be considerate, i've got no way to know if we are talking about the iraqi, russian or nigerian premier league without that

>>74431301
>Do you say SLL and GBL as well?
That is a very good point

>>74431358
This

>>74431405
'no'

>>74431415
>USACMLS thinking he has a view

>>74431440
except for the fact that there is only one MLS but more than one PL

>>74431301

The maltese league is called just Premier League.

>>74425282
>the most amount of teams with a chance to win

This year, like one

>>74431594
So you should just call it by it's proper name of MLS? Just like the Premier League is just PL

>>74429339
Just to let you know you fucking spastic. The Irish league is the Northern Irish league and the League of Ireland is the Republics league.

>>74431728
yes, isnt that what everyone alredy does

>>74431768
except there are more than one "premier leagues" byut ony one MLS

>>74431768
Clearly not if people are saying EPL, acting like that is a proper name

6 teams have won in 25 years lol

Literally one football league called "Premier League"

>there are like 30 premier leagues around the world
>hurrr why u call it epl

you are doing this on purpose arent you

>>74431894
First Phrase says "Premier League refers to the top football division in England"
>there are like 30 premier leagues around the world
None of them are called "Premier League" though

>>74431925

Won't check them all to see, but yours is called the Barclays League though.

>>74431955
>yours is called the Barclays League though.
No, sponsorship deal ended last season. Hence the new logo and all that jazz

>>74431925
but they are, kazak premier league is called premier league by kazaks, the ghanan premier league just has the name of a bank before it like you had barclays, like kenya, malta, etc

Being the most talked about league is cool and all, but that still doesn't explain why English teams have such an appalling performance in the Champions League.

>>74432065
because the prem league is much harder than the other euro leagues

bayern, madrids, barca and juve can just take it easy for half the season battering minnows without breaking a sweat
It's like comparing racing 100m with a light warmup vs the english teams who have just run a marathon
epl is a victim of it's own quality

>>74425409

>best league in the world
>as many CL finalists as Serie A in the last 5 years
