I wonder what the odds were on Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Utd to concede 2 goals.

This is not a knee jerk reaction at all. I have thought this for a long time. In fact, a few years back we had to write a debate in English, and my debate was on how the premier league is over-rated.

So it's not a knee jerk reaction at all.

And for the record, the Bundesliga is a great league. Quite under-rated over here

how is the premier league overrated? its the best in the world

unlike spain which is a two team league, the italian league thats a one team league, and the bundesliga that only now is finding more influence in europe.

the top 6 teams cann all be considered tough teams in europe. cant other leagues say the same?

The Premier League is still clearly the best/toughest competition in the world, followed by Germany, despite a week of poor results.

In terms of ratio of good-very good teams, the Premier League is the best league in the world. I'd fancy a lot of the teams from 7th and below to beat a lot of equivalent teams in Italy, Spain, France, Germany and other countries.

That being said, in terms of producing affordable football, listening to the fans and creating a system under which all national leagues should aim to replicate, the Bundesliga cannot be touched. Everything from how clubs actually listen to their supporters rather than trying to handicap them, to the organised unity between all supporters to ensure ticket prices are kept safe and no club deviates from setting fair prices should be studied and implemented by all leagues, though I fear the Premier League and English football in general is well and truly fucked on every level now, even non league clubs are charging close to £20 for games.

Something can still be great and be over-rated. I like the premier league, but it's over-rated.

La Liga is a 2 team league because those 2 teams at the top of the league are probs the 2 best in the world. There are great teams like Valencia, Malaga, Atletico Madrid etc... in that league. Atletico showed how good they are by bossing us not so long a go. Below the top 2, La Liga is very interesting. I mean Bilbao showed that they are a good side by teaching Man United a lesson, and they didn't even qualify for the Europa league. Barcelona and Real Madrid will probs be top 2 in any league in the world.

Also, wasn't the english league a 2 horse race last season?

La Liga is also miles better in terms of technical quality. Lower teams in La Liga can often pass the ball around a lot better than most english clubs.

Germany is also a great league. Competitive, and good football gets played over there. They have great teams like Bayern, BVB, Schalke etc... It's also the best run league in the world, no doubt

Serie A has gone down the shitter. Used to be great, but now it's not so good.

I'm fine with people saying that the premier league is the best, Because i can see why people think that. But saying it's a long way better than any other league is ridiculous imo.
