Rival watch

Disagree. Can Palace or Sunderland really beat any of the top 7. I think it's competitive at the top but not at the bottom.

 

Zagreb lost 1-7 to Lyon didn't they? A few years back anyway.

 

Most obvious fix ever, though.

 

You're saying it wasn't just a coincidence Lyon needed a 6 goal swing and got it via dodgy goalkeeping?

 

And the defending winking at one of the forwards when he scored was a little hint, too. Just don't look up who reffed it...

 

I think we were all in agreement that he was too big for your club, actually.

 

"I think we were all in agreement that he was too big for your club, actually."

Too big for all PL clubs it seems.

 

Too big for us because he was instrumental in the 3-2 win from 2-0 down against Arsenal.

 

Well done Caulker

 

You'd know all about players being too big for your club.

 

Great post match comments too. Lots of contrition shown towards Swansea

 

Don't know why they didn't bid for him, he's a good player.

Okay you've made your point YV!

 

When did this u-turn occur? after weeks of trying to convince us (better known as wumming!) the Bundesliga and La Liga are better....is it a coincidence that its since the manager of the club you support laughed at the very suggestion in interview the other week.

 

I'm not Wumming. The Premier League is my favourite league but I find it incredible many are refusing to accept the dip in quality over the last few years. Especially given how our teams have performed in Europe (Chelsea are an anomaly).

10 games in and:

Sunderland and Palace are all but relegated

Hull have clean sheets in 4 games and Cardiff in three

Chelsea win just one away game and sit 2nd in the table.

Spurs have just 9 goals and sit 4th in the table.

Not one Premier League team in the top 10 based on points accumulated so far.

Wouldn't happen if Premier League sides were any decent.

 

Err...never mind all that **** DL trying to side-step what I said, Bundesliga, the league you maintained was soooo much better than the PL, if you weren't wumming....admit you were wrong.

 

Better in what way?

Bundesliga is better than the Premier League in terms of football but it doesn't come close in terms of the fixtures it offers you on the calendar.

Schalke v Dortmund
Dortmund v Bayern

That's it. The Premier League has ten times as many fixtures that would appeal globally.

I prefer the Premier League, but I'm not going to pretend it's the highest quality league in the world because it isn't.

As for most competitive league in the world? Championship is far more competitive but a bit like the PL the quality isnt there

 

How the hell does any of that indicate quality or a lack thereof?
Team does well? Poor league. Team does badly? Poor league. Teams score? Poor league. Teams keep clean sheets? Poor league.
That makes no ****ing sense.

 

The quality of almost all teams top and bottom has deteriorated.
