use your common sense when arguing on this section.
barca and real madrid will not dominate in the epl cos they won't be able to afford the wages of messi, xavi and iniesta. in la liga, tv deals are negotiated independently and it pays about £100m each to the spanish giants. in england, all the tv proceeds are pooled together and shared fairly equally amongst the 20 clubs. grab a book and read.
See this fool. What does sharing of proceeds have to do with anything? How come Man U, Man City and Chelsea can pay their players and dominate the league? From the silly arguments you've been putting forth all night I don't need to argue with you. Are you not the same fool claiming Maradona's Napoli was like some low league club in England? What do you know about football, really?

why was del bosque sacked? you are barely scratching the surface here? fact remains united's number 2 became the manager of the biggest club in spain.



he finished ahead of madrid and barcelona.....those 2 clubs have more money than valencia. how come benitez couldn't apply the same scheme in england? the premier league is a tough league - legends like juande ramos, scolari, ancelotti, villas-boas have all been undressed. if guardiola comes here, he wouldn't last 3 months.

Why is Mourinho EPL legend failing woefully in Spain? Why Ferguson dey always carry last against Liga teams. U no see as Atletico use Abramovishinsky face mop floor for super cup?

REYES IS ALSO A FLOP IN LALIGA. DECO'S STORY WAS LIKE THAT OF SHEVCHENKO. DUMPED BY BARCELONA AND BECAME A FAVOURITE @ CHELSEA. EPL IS SHIT!!!

deco became a favourite in chelsea? which deco? lmao.
if you take a lie detector test, the machine would blow. you mean you dunno baptista shook la liga to the ground? what about diego forlan who couldn't cut it here in the premier league and became a world wide legend in la liga? i can go on and on.....your league is shyte across the board!

logica: You see, Barca and Real may be miles ahead in Spain, but they are also miles ahead in Europe (forget one or two upsets here and there). If they both move to England, they will be first and second in England. Basic. But speaking of 2-horse race, it's no more different from England where Man U and Chelsea have dominated for years. 2007/2008 season saw Barca come third! If Real is not careful they will come third this season. I don't need to tell you much about Athletico and Malaga. I'm sure you've seen what the former did to Chelsea and what the latter recently did to Real and how they topped their group in the Champions League.
...

I laugh at first and second in europe...I argue not ewith u about their weights in european football,buh it is too much to say that they would occupy the top 2 spots.we both know epl is a much tougher league in terms of defending.barcelona's tiki taka would hardly break a rugged stoke defence.the reason the ballon d'or winners have been from spain is that,la liga is easy.we can both agree that messi would never score 45 goals a season n 60goals in the next season in d epl.even ronaldo,would have found it hard to replicate his 2008 form if he stayed in the epl

if barcelona couldn't win the champions league with their array of stars last season against chelsea, what is to say arsenal can't win it? the form of the day is the key. celtic murdered barcelona - so everyone has a decent shout to win it including united.

Lol... Na cos Messi win again or cos of the FIFpro list una start all these league arguments?

EPL is more competitive than La Liga, true, cos the best teams in EPL are not very consistent and are not much better than the average teams. They also benefit from media hype.
La liga has the best legs in the world. #fact

The fact that Barca and Madrid are dominating does not make the other laliga teams trash.
Or else, the fact that Messi has won the FIFA award 4 times in a row means that every other player (including Ronaldo) is trash. No?

Stop the argument. Its pointless.

mourinho's sack was a boardroom decision - nothing to do with the performance. he had started the 07/08 season and he was 2nd or 3rd on the table with less than 8 league games played........he couldn't have been sacked because of his football performance.

That's what I've been trying to point out. Apart from Dortmund and Barca, only Malaga have gotten a favorable result against Real Madrid without playing a defensive game. That says a lot about Malaga.

What rubbish are you spewing here. So pirlo underperforming in the finals means he did not have a better season overall than at least 2 of those midfielders yes?

Let me take u back to 2010 for a second. Did Messi's atrocious performance in the quarterfinals against a much inferior German team stop him from landing the ballon dor?

show us a direct quote from alex ferguson expressing regrets over selling diego forlan? you think you are in a beer parlour here where you can lie to the public? the only player ferguson has regretted selling was jaap stam. if fergie didn't regret selling beckham, ruud or ronaldo - why the heck would he regret selling a player who returned just 17 goals in 98 games? you are posting a blog link and you tender such nonsense as evidence? the internet must be a new experience for you.

you better be at your sharpest when arguing here, this is not a facebook forum.

You are the one spewing rubbish here. There's something they call head to head and it's a good way of knowing who's better. When Pirlo went head to head against his rivals he was silent while they performed. This was not about a bad performance in a single game.

Mourinho is currently failing woefully in La Liga despite having the most expensive squad in the country. To conquer spain, you need to do a lot more than win a liga title.... Mourinho ain't done shit yet.

Ramos coached Tottenham hotspur. They will never ever win the league. What were they supposed to win the league with? Benitez is Liverpool's most successful manager in recent times. They wish they still had him.

Mourinho is about to be unemployed. Every Tom, dick and Fatai in La Liga is whoopin his team. Olodo coach no know say na soccer we dey tap for here.

When u watch La liga matches(as someone with a lil football talent),u tend to think football is easy and you can do what these players are doing.if u'd be honest,u'd agree with me that la liga can't compare with the Epl in terms of defending.As someone had earler written,it is quite true that most Epl teams don't put too much energy into the europa league.the other "big" la liga teams know the europa league is the only available silverware for them,dats why they tend to perform better.
