The PL has only 3 teams in the top 10 ranked in the world , Man City 1st after spending dubious amounts of money. Liverpool 6th but on the slide and gooners 7th. We are 41 st.
outside of madrid, barca, bayern, psg, maybe an italian side or 2. no other team in europe probably finishes top half of prem.
their best player is back at spurs now
.still as shit as we was last year theres no way we are 41st.
Tell me with a straight face that that's a better squad than Aston Villa.
I only watched them play once I think and was very impressed. They did win the Europa League which they often do . Could they beat Villa ? .....yes in my opinion. As for both squads I'm not across that one as Posto would say.
Dortmund ?...finished in second but on the same points as Bayern I think.
Quite what devil magic they have over the Europa League is beyond me, but they finished 12th even in La Liga last year and have been quite an old team. The continental game is more forgiving for (technically brilliant) guys like Ivan Rakitic or Jesus Navas in the latter stages of their careers. Those guys didn't play for Sevilla at their physical peaks.
There was a time when the more sophisticated tactical level and different refereeing style of those leagues was a big problem for PL sides in European competition.
Those gaps have closed and the money differential has gotten much, much wider.
2nd in the Bundesliga. Were they better than Woolwich?
Unlikely, and now Woolwich has Declan Rice and Dortmund doesn't have Jude Bellingham.
It's like this at every slot on the table.
Porto, Benfica ?
Better than City?
There's lots of clubs on the continent who could survive relegation in the PL (not nearly as many as there used to be, but still).
The point is that no league goes team-for-team with the PL in the top, middle, or bottom.
This is about could these teams mentioned get in the PL top half. We hear about the PL being top drawer but is it ?
It almost makes a Supaleague a mouthwatering proposition.
That's not the yardstick, it's top 10 places in the PL.
Top 10 is weird because you mix the odd Brentford or Brighton in there. Could that be Ajax every now and again? Sure, probably.
But I'm not sure there's more than 6 or 7 other clubs in the world who would be a serious threat for top 4. You could make a straight-faced argument it's less.
The money makes it more competitive, even the lower teams can spend big, still with the amount City have spent and how well they are doing we are turning into a 1 team league!
I was in tears once when my dog farted.I cried my eyes out once after spraining my ankle
Mind you, it was like being in a locked room full of mustard gas!
sounds like another yes man chanting the levy pr crap about transfers
hear it every damn window
hear it every damn window
He even used the "Not like going to the shop to buy some milk and bread" analogy in a recent press conference.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Taken straight from The Fighting Cock. Word for Word
