Well, you DO realize that most managers in England are English, right?

No other league really comes close to the EPL
You don't have to talk me into this, I agree 100% and that's my main problem with EPL and people saying it is the "best league". Pls
Also agree about Wenger, Arsenal is the only team constantly worth watching in the EPL, playing football from this century and such. Not needing to waste 100M each transfer window to try to hide the fact that their football sucks

EPL is the best league
People like it because you market yourselves as the best league in the world (TM) by stealing talent from other countries with your petrodollars.
You do realize that my point is that English managers, unlike managers from any other country where football matters in Europe, are braindead. Therefore, if you say you don't care about the English part of the EPL, I have no idea how you watch it, since there are so many braindead managers.
What are those? Those teams from Ireland?
Yeah, that league has a lot of passion and harsh tackling as well. Only Irish team I watch is the Celtics and Patriots.
Celtic would do brilliantly in the Premier League... eventually. Even if they got relegated, it'd still earn them ten times what they earn in Scotland. Revenue would be through the roof.
But that's never going to happen, and I'm glad for that.

it's the most interesting one I give you that but by far not the best one.
the games are mostly dull and quite boring to be honest
I don't have a feeling one way or the other. I like Belichick.

If it was Arsenal + Man U + oilmoney clubs then yes. But the rest of the league is like watching honduran football really, boring to dead
the tactical part of the game is stuck in the last century, and so are the players
lack of conformism, the Sammer effect
you wouldn't know

The main reason I think EPL is the best league is cos Man United plays in it.
The EPL is the best league in spite of United playing in it.
and maybe because you're engrish

Jupp pls.
Do you really think Sammer and Bayern are the first team to have a relentless desire to win and have you seriously labelled this as a "lack of conformism".
AVB would be proud.

It is not a desire, is a need.
Sammer goes insane when we concede a goal
Who cares which league is the best?
nobody, but we're keeping the thread alive. pls yurt
Who cares which league is the best?
All I know is Serie A certainly isn't.

Don't know how many times I have to say it but I don't give a shit about England.
And if were being serious for a second I don't care if it's the best league or not. It's fun and I like it.
Are you a moron? You do realize that Italy, Portugal and Spain aren't swimming in Sheiks, Russians and insane TV contracts, right? You do realize that, unlike in England, people make a bit of a sacrifice with their money in order to watch a match in a stadium, right? You do realize that these countries economies are in the shitter?
Good thing you got that it was a joke.
Yeah, the wedwards of the world.
:lol that one got me.
one of the few Serie A defenders.
That's true.
but it's still better than the Bundesliga and your (?) Brazilian league.
Just look at this thread. Most EPL fans watch lots of EPL games, not just the team they support.
Bundeliga and La Liga posters only watch Barca, Madrid, Bayern or Dortmund. They never talk about watching Getafe v Espanyol. Never heard anyone talk about shitty German team #5 vs shitty German team #15.
No why? Because those teams are shit and boring.

You didn't answer my question. If it's just marketing, why don't the other leagues market themselves as the best league in the world. If, as you claim, the EPL is lying when they claim that, why don't other leagues?
Spain might not have Sheiks or Russians, but they do have Spanish banks ready to bend over.
pls
You have no idea.
In handegg? I don't really support anybody. I watch the Pats from time to time.
my main complain is I find it to be far from fun. only the matches between the top teams are (sometimes) fun to watch, the rest of teams play dull and boring football not worth a minute of your time
That's why I like the Bundesliga, even the lower teams try to play good looking football. Except Bremen.
Just be glad Tottenham is Englands.

Youre a Patriots fan.
You make me sick.
Yeah but good football doesn't necessarily = fun.
Because they can't go around signing the best players in the world and broadcast those games to whatever countries the EPL is broadcasted in. England has at least 4 or 5 clubs that have the ability to spend ridiculous amounts of money on players. No other country in the world has that. This allows them to market themselves as the best league in the world because they have a handful of teams with the best talent in the world.
