WILF 47,354 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 The manchester clubs and chelsea . Cant see chelsea or city being as poor as they have been this season . Ok I'll give you 3. Not exactly that much stronger than the Scottish usually is lol. If QPR played sunday league they would win everthing, every year.........you just cant compare the 2 leagues. Joe Cole and Dimitar Berbatov would walk into any Celtic or Rangers team, but the fact is that in England they are playing for "happy to stay up" teams......that tells you all you need to know about the standard.

Aye standard here is pish and I'm not comparing them. But you can hardly say you have a strong league when only 1 more team than ours is in the race. We have 2 teams, you have 3. I know the rest of europes the same but atleast they are competing and showing they are the strongest in Europe. The Champions League is meant to be a league for the top teams in Europe to compete, your lot didn't fair any better than our lot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,276 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ha.....I reckon i could write Gnasher reply too this off by heart by now...... ....Funny thing is without even reading the thread i knew word for word what Baws post was going to say before even clicking on it,my only surprise was it took him this long ! What Baw seems to get confused with though is the words " LEAGUE " and " CLUB "..............a league has 20 odd clubs !!.....i agree England doesnt possess the strongest club at this moment ( even though an English club is the current Champions League title holders )...................but thats what the Champions League as a competition is for to find that out and as he rightly says no English team has reached the current stage so no argument there.............but this is 1 season !!...........Over the last 10 years an English club has won it 3 times......no other country can top that....and it was 3 DIFFERENT clubs every time not like the 3 times Spain has won it with Barcelona ONLY ! As regards Man Utd walking away with the league this year......yes they are and thats not good from a competetive point........but Barcelona are about 15 points clear in Spain......Juventus are about 12 points clear in Italy.......Bayern Munich are a good 20 points clear in Germany.............are they all poor leagues then ? My bet would be the likes of Everton,Newcastle,Fulham etc are better clubs than the equivalently placed clubs in Italy like Torino.....Getafe in Spain....or Wolfsburg in Germany.....if you are comparing LEAGUES that is...............i,ll resist comparing with the Scottish league........now that would be silly 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just a pity what he is...... Did you see what John Parrot got him with in the Special Captains Edition of Question of Sport? Ally asked for a home question and John said something like "Will there be questions on Division 3 football in Scotland?..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No point in guessing how better the also rans are in your league compared to their European counterparts. Best sticking to the hard facts and that's the elite, which is your Man U, Chelsea, real, Bayerns of the world. Your lot haven't competed and that's a fact so you can dress it up how you like..... Right now Celtic competed with Barcalona....... Man U.... Err well got beat by a ref Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Err well got beat by a ref And thats my point .....your either comparing CLUBS or your comparing LEAGUES....which is it ?......If its leagues the English Premier league is still right up there.....if your comparing clubs well quite clearly English clubs wont be up there this year,but as a competition over the last 10 years English clubs have PROVED the English league is by far the strongest by 3 DIFFERENT clubs winning the title.

Malt 379 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 People moan about the current United side not being that good yet we're on course to take the title with a record number of points if we keep on at the current rate.. This team might not have the flair players that others have had in the past, but the amount of times the current team has won games from loosing positions this season speaks volumes IMO.. I await the backlash! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was you guys who brought Scottish football into it lol. Your supposed to be the best league in the world, heard gnash sing it a million times. It's ok saying yea, we don't have the best player in the world, the best club in the world, our best teams can't reach the quarter finals of Europe..... But we are better than Scottish teams and we are arrogant enough to say we have the best league in Europe 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't altogether agree with that Wilf, if that was the case how come people can look back and compare teams of the past with teams of today? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
