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.

It was an exaggeration, of course I know you're not saying that the leagues in Croatia, Belgium, etc are better
The top sides aren't as strong in Europe but that's about it. I think the Premier League across the board is about as strong as ever.
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.
Well done Caulker
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.

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.
