So why don't you (or they) watch more of the better leagues? If a league is better, surely that would lead to more viewership? All the people that you see on Twitter cumming over the Bundesliga, there's still a huge amount that only watch Bayern or Dortmund.

Wasn't the question, of course Huntelaar's goal was the best of the night. Sigh.
Summarise it pls. Does Godzilla get the girl? Does Broderick get tapeworms?

Quantity =/= Quality
I guess I'd say because it's more entertaining, again, because of the diversity of foreign talent. It's an exciting melting pot. Doesn't mean the EPL is of better quality though. I've found myself bored to tears watching some of the big clashes this season. Hell, I think Arsenal v Liverpool is the only one that's delivered, so far.
How the shit dick will they top it in season 2? Like HOW. PLS. HOW.
It's more entertaining, yeah. So therefore, it's the best league. Vincent van Gogh is a better painter than bud, but whose drawings do you enjoy more?
It's like when people go "this is a favourite movies list, not a best movies list". Who the fuck is sitting around only making lists of ones that are technically very good or well acclaimed, and not actually their favourites? Fucking mangoes, that's who. If something - especially football, which is and always has been a source of entertainment, and is primarily watched to entertain - is the most entertaining, then that's really just a way to say it's the best. It may not have the best quality teams, but its teams are a high enough level on average that it's relatively enjoyable to watch more often than not.

zabo pls, i watch football for the spectacle of it, not to support rich man-babbies, nor do i hold stock in any specific team
I watch Juve occasionally because i like the team, god forbid i'd have to carry a fucking Juve season ticket to validate that It's not a way of life, merely a fun diversion and opportunity for banter

I guess we have different definitions of what the best league is. I consider the best league to be the one with the best quality teams. As it stands, the EPL is the one with the most average and marketable teams.

So what would you say is the best league? La Liga? There's three superb teams there, then three or four very good teams (Sociedad, Bilbao, Villarreal, Sevilla, maybe Valencia). I don't think there's much change from the PL in that regard.
I just find the notion of you finding something the best hard when you seem to watch more Premier League games than you do La Liga games. And that's nothing to do with marketability, because you're able to watch all the games now through streams. It might be times you're available, whatever. But if you're preferring to watch Premier League games over La Liga games, then it's odd you'd think that league which you're shunning in favour of another is better.
Great save, btw

The PL's bottom of the table team signed the leading scorer from Olympiakos. The bottom team, spending 15m on a striker.
The league is intense as fuck, no game is ever easy for any team. Teams in shit leagues spend weeks preparing and resting players for big CL matches because their B teams can walk over their lower table opposition and they can just have a jog out in those matches. PL teams are gasping for breath when these CL fixtures come out as injuries pile up.
But like I said I'm tired of this argument. The truth is evident for everyone to see.
We prefer the PL because it's the best. It isn't the best because we prefer it.

I don't think PL is the best league, but it's the most fun to watch, and most competitive.

Blame Sky for their endless dull "Super" Sundays where half the nations dozes off watching Fulham/Norwich/whomeever else play dreary 0-0 stuff
Bung on one the 40 games or whatever below it.
Rubbish defending, proper grounds, proper atmospheres, awful goalkeeping

You said it yourself, bud is the more entertaining painter but Van Gogh is undoubtedly the more talented one. Or maybe how Tarantino's output is more entertaining that Scorcese's, but Martin's is of higher quality (don't necessarily believe this, but roll with it). Which one is better? Subjective to how people rate quality vs. entertainment.
Broder Salsa

Yeah good luck to me trying to watch that on TV.
I already watch Danish football in person which is enough for me really.
I think football has to be judged on entertainment far more so than movies or art though, surely. I can sit and watch two hours of harrowing wartime drama that moves at a languid snail's pace. Much harder to watch slow paced football matches than it is a slow paced film. What you're looking for in football is to be entertained. So why would you rate something that is higher quality but less entertaining higher?

classic mancini
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...mancini-tactical-blunder-in-draw-with-chelsea
I was honestly scratching my balls over the 4-4-2 formation, Replacing Semih Kaya for Hakan balta (balta is a lb LOL), Izet herkanovicicic starting in a game way over his depth, Wesley on the left wing.
Doesn't make sense, Rob.

which shit leagues are you talking about? Certainly not La Liga, Madrid consistently fields its best starting XI against any minnow team because there's absolutely no room for error in La Liga. EPL teams gasping for air? There's no air to breathe in Spain. It's do or die.

Yeah it's getting stupid lol. Have to wake up early to do a Powerpoint presentation due at 10 am, since I did fuck all today. Fucking football.
I'll just say I think Roy Keane hit the nail right on the head. Who knew he could be so insightful!
They play good football
Curx of the matter is; the best things should be the ones you enjoy the most.
You can apply that to movies; did I like Superbad or Anna Karenina more, despite which one was made with more artistic or technical skill?
You can apply it to food; do I enjoy a greasy burger or a four year roasted quail cock more?
You can apply it to sex; do I like a stunningly dirty blowjob from Arnie, or a quick fuck by a well trained prostitute that wants me in and out clinically?
It's always about entertainment. Fuck your 'bests'. Bests are thrown around by people who are scared to admit they enjoyed something someone else might think is shit.
And I enjoyed Cardiff versus Villa.

To be honest, I don't know why would anyone think PL is the best league. Our best were not as good as Barca, RM for quite a few years, and now with Bayern.
Still, things are improving. I think Liverpool (if Suarez is still in the team) and Manchester City could possibly compete with them at an equal level next year.

Nathan that makes no sense at all. I'll enjoy a re-watch of Superbad more than I'll enjoy a re-watch of Shawshank Redemption, but that doesn't fucking mean Superbad is better. What the hell are you on about lol

A lot of variables I think
If he gets us solidly in the top 4 for like 3 years in a row with the odd title challenge, and FSG don't reward that with substantial funds, I could see his head being turned
As it is, he's the perfect manager for us, and we're the perfect club for him

Aye mate, very sad. Hit me quite hard when he passed. So young and I actually remember seeing him play several times and even meeting him.
Tron Legacy is better than Shawshank Redemption. TO ME. TO ME. Thats what opinions are about.

Well, whoever said opinions can't be wrong has a shit opinion. Probably why he said it in the first place.
