After last weekend's results, is there any doubt that this is the most entertaining league in the world?
>>
>>64400242
funny how quickly they've gone from the 'best' to the most 'entertaining'. Whatever to stay relevant I guess

Football i boring. I only watch the team I support.

way too early for me to watch the games, but still follow the news of it.

Yes, Based Leicester, Palace, Watford doing so good.
Even Bournemout and Norwich starting to beat traditional teams
>>
The big clubs can't win the small ones anymore.

Everyone turned to shit or the rest of the league its getting too good?

1 teams is not enough of a change to be entertaining

EPL teams are all rich. The poorest EPL team is probably richer than the richest Dutch team.

Freshly-promoted Watford are challenging for a Europa League spot, everyone seems to have forgotten this in the wake of OMG LEICESTER and LOL CHELSEA

Can't speak to individual teams, but here's league information (from about a year ago)
>>
>>64400257

Nobody disputes that the best team in La Liga is way better than the best in the PL. Having one or two GOAT teams doesn't make it a good league, though. La Liga is utter shit and piss boring as a whole.

The tv money in the PL allows for more balanced talent distribution because "every" player and their mother wants to play in the PL.

SOCCER IS FUCKING SHIT

SAME TEAMS EVERY YEAR. IF THIS IS YOUR PROOF OF "ENTERTAINMENT" YOU FAIL. ARSENAL, MAN U, MAN C ALL AT THE TOP STILL.
>>
>>64400778
That's nothing new. Newly promoted teams making it to the top half happens in every league. Lester's and Chelsea's situations on the other hand...

Manchester United doing SO well in fact, that they're about to fire their manager!

Before Man City won the title in 2012, they had gone more than 40 years without winning it. Arsenal haven't won in more than a decade. And you left Chelsea out....I wonder why?

How many Arse fags will commit suicide if they lose the league to Leicester?
>>
>>64400696

Everyone turned to shit, there's a few teams like Leicester, Watford and Crystal palace playing much better than expected but we still have Blunderland, Newcastle, Norwich playing like non-league sides and then there's Liverpoop, Manure and Chelsea all playing like trash

Stoke bought Shaquiri this summer.
Bournemouth spunked £7m on Gradel.

Even then Spurs threads were fairly vacant except for WHL and a couple of Israelis. The only team that has has a serious downturn in SP action is Liveprool.

Still miss Skrtlpowaa

>>64406008
obviously, since there AREN'T any good british players

At this moment BPL have teams with like 2 englishmen in starting 11 so not only ratings would drop but it can't be done.

>>64402323
like a hue said in another thread, it's more about the other teams (lyon, marseille, monaco, st etienne) playing like shit than QSG playing that good

lyon made terrible signings and just had their new stadium, half of last year marseille's team left and bielsa decided to fuck off right at the season's start, monaco are broke and now only buy meme attacking players to sell them

Why wouldn't Gareth Bale play for Swansea City?

Stoke have Bojan, Shaqiri, Arnautovic and Afellay.

5 Champions League managers between them.

Is soccer basically:
>What team can buy the most good players?
>>
>>64406125
yes, but no, but yes
>>
>>64406125
Not at all, otherwise Man City would be bossing the league and Chelsea would surely be near the top.

It's all about >cohesion.
>>
>>64406145
Not at all? So, if there were a salary cap Barceolna and Real Madrid would still dominate their league?

Is it a pleb opinion to think mls is better than ligue uh, if not quality wise for entertainment value?

Enjoyed the shit out of some mls games on sky 2bh
>>
>>64406195
Why is mls more entertaining ?
>>
>>64400242
literally pleb hoofball shit league
La Liga is where you want to watch quality football not hoofing it to a nigger during 90 minutes
>>
>>64406195
because you've just watched a PSG steamrolling a shitty team match
>>
>>64406160
They said 'is soccer basically' and my answer to THAT is 'not at all'. Buying top talent is of course is a major factor, but you can spend £300m on a team of top players that won't work well together.
>>
>>64406160
Your post was too simplistic. Yes the big teams often buy out all the good players doesn't mean those same players will perform or deliver the goods.

Real Madrid is a prime example
>>
>>64406195
I think MLS is pretty fun to watch too. I think because they don't have the defensive discipline to play other than attacking, so there's more going forward than a lot of leagues. Albeit it's not the prettiest to watch.
>>
>>64405930
because they play beautiful but diving football and drama of course you have to speak spanish to watch all the spanish tv shows after the games and the butthurt but yeah I would rather watch Celta Vigo which they place good unlike some shit team like manure playing hoofball
>>
>>64406288
that, and there's not (yet) a stratification like in so many other leagues, where you can basically plot out the season table before it even starts
any team can win pretty much any game in MLS
>>
i find the indian super league entertaining
>>
>>64406204
Reckless "have a go" football is entertaining as fuck 2bh senpai.

Also deciding to be a lifelong fan of the timbers at the start of the season helped a lot ;^)

Seriously i dont see Leicester wining EPL, next year they will go down. They dont have the depth of closet to stand the whole tournament. If anything, Arsenal will win their first EPL, if City doesnt wakes the fuck up.

they're doing well right now even without half their team, they'll get BTFO by barça so they'll just have the league to focus on
I pray they don't because arse fans will get even more obnoxious than they already are, but they have a good chance to win it

What talent? There's more talent in a midtable Liga team than there is at the top of the Premier right now. How many fucking times do you need to get raped at different levels? At the bottom of the table the Premier is complete and utter shit. You might as well be watching the fucking MLS.
