Dayo will tell you more about him. He's a batty boy.



How many times have you seen Tottenham in 2nd or 3rd position at the end of the season in this decade apart from last season ? That should tell you more bro .

If we agreed to remove Spurs from the title challengers because they have not been seen in the 2nd position, that means Liverpool too has no place among the chasers because the last time they were seen in the 2nd position after 08/09 was 13/14, and they have been ranking below the same spurs ever since then, so, what's applicable to Spurs is applicable to Pool.

Quote where i removed liverpool from the race?
Good profit there.
Now please, kindly avail us the regular six teams that always challenge for the title that make the league head and shoulder above the rest.

I never told you i used only one criterium to cancel out spurs. Go and check my previous posts and grab it in entirety. Last season they were title contenders. Liverpool has been superb this season and they are strong contenders. They won their matches convincingly this season unlike tottenham. I am not responsible for you misinterpreting my opinion. You should go back to the root of our arguements , tottenham are not contenders, they are pretenders, since their main defender went on injury they have been playing below expectation. Title conteders have depth to some extent in the team. For the past 4 seasons in la liga we have real, barca and atm sharing 1st to 3rd position among themselves while others couldn't lift a finger. Those who stated 6 in epl might be considering this kind of situation in epl among 6 teams that most times dominate the 1st to 6th positions. So you should understand their views.

We are almost on same page here bro. If Liverpool are now title contenders because of their position on the log and current form, it's just okay to label Sevilla too as one of the title contenders. If Spurs are suddenly shunted out because of their form and position, then it's save to say Atletico too are not title contenders at least for this season. Using different yardsticks for the leagues is just out of place.
Going by this your logic for this season alone, we can conclude the epl is between Liverpool, city and Chelsea as it stands now, thereby making it a 3 horse race. Same goes for la liga which is between Madrid, Barça and Sevilla.
As such, it's somewhat out of place to be counting six teams as regular epl challengers. Instead, the teams that sit pretty well on the log should be taken into consideration as the title challengers which might change from time to time.

Pedro played for Fc Barcelona C,FC Barcelona B,before making his way to the first team..He is a La Masia graduate.

Fabregas spent 6years at Barca's youth academy,so he also is a La Masia graduate.

I know right.. We ought to have signed Isco long ago to replace Iniesta. I'm still vexing at the signing of Andre Gomes, he doesn't look "Barcaish" to me.

What you need to understand is that, Barca and Madrid are the two best teams with quality players (world stars) that no other team comes close, especially in the LaLiga, look at the number of games Barca has lost this season and they are still sitting second comfortably, Sevilla and these other teams don't have the quality and strength of these two powerhouse, they can only cause upsets once in a while and That's all, Barca or Madrid and at times, Atletico will definitely still win the league.
Barca has a very rich squad Plus MSN, Madrid has a very rich squad Plus BBC, these other teams just have few quality players.

Let's talk about the EPL, the star players aren't concentrated in just City and Chelsea, there was a time when Chelsea players were regarded as average players, Hazard is our best player, better than any of our wingers but most of us would even argue Neymar is way better than him, thats just Neymar o, we haven't included Messi, Suarez, Pique, Iniesta, Mascherano, Busquets etc

Man Utd and City spent almost the same amount this last transfer window, yet city is doing well, MAN UTD is failing, do Sevilla, Sociedad, Atm, Valencia have the same spending power of Barca and Madrid?

All these EPL top teams have almost equal spending power, talk about Spurs, Pool, Arsenal, City, MAN UTD, Chelsea, these guys have star players scattered all over hence the competitive nature of the league, none of them is a stand out performer just like Barca/Madrid is to the LaLiga, Bayern is to the BLiga or Juventus is the Serie A abi u don forget the number of parties wey hold for our thread last season, see parties wey dey hold for Man Utd thread now, see parties for Arsenal thread. cheesy cheesy

I dunno if you understand me well enough, but trust me, there will always be upsets once in a while, eg Alaves beating Barca, Liezpig beating Bayern but its not always easy for Chelsea/City winning the league....the struggle is always real.
You will find Spurs flogging City anyhow, Chelsea will disgrace the same Spurs but city will seriously deal with Chelsea, the same Arsenal that will flog Man city home and away will become toothless against a struggling Man utd/Chelsea, Chelsea will defeat Man Utd for example by a lone goal, but the same Everton that gets pummeled by Man Utd will get 3 unreplied goals against Chelsea, these are just examples of the crazy things that happen in the league, that's why we celebrate winning games and the league like we won the UCL and WC together cheesy cheesy


If you happen to be a punter, the odds these bookmakers give Barca, Madrid, Bayern is always very low just because these teams have a high probabilty of winning their games and they do it comfortably except for the once-in-a-while upsets.

I wont say there are 6 title contenders in the EPL but Barca/Madrid are the 'ogas at the top' in laliga, they are way above the others, there is no stand out 'oga at the top in the EPL', its a different ball game here. It was recently Man city became a top team when the Saudi guy took over, maybe when one of these arab guys take over Sevilla or atm and can match the spending power of Barca/Madrid....the story will change.

At 17 you can't still be said to be in the academy, playing for B team doesn't mean you're in the academy, the academy contains players with age less than 15years old, majority of the players in the B team are already professionals. Arsenal signed Fabregas at the age of 16 he's not in any way referred to as an Arsenal academy graduate. I hope you get me!
So many people think Wenger have produced lots of academy players but if you really take a look at the players he's produced I can't even think of five Arsenal academy grown players instead he buys them from other clubs at the age of 16-20 and you think he's made players from the academy, even Moroni has graduated more academy players than Wenger.

From this, we can still call Pedro a La Masia graduate, only that he didn't join at an early stage.

How would define a title challenging team in any league?

Is it a team that just makes d top 4 at d end of d season? Or a team that occupies the top 4 position for most weeks, irrespective of d position dey finish @ d end of d season? Or is it a team that can buy expensive players, whether or not dey win d league with dem?

Or would you define them as a team that can do all these (or some) and actually WIN THE LEAGUE @ least once in say maybe 2-4 years?

Cos i honestly dont consider Arsenal (last league win 2003), Everton (last league win ____), Tottenham (last league win ____), Liverpool (last league win 1990) as title contenders just because they're in fine form at a certain stage of d season, wen we know dat there z a very good chance dey wont win it eventually, and den to make it worse, EPL fans dat considers dem title favourites dont apply d same logic to other teams dat do d same or are in fine forms @ certain stages in other top leagues.

This is my submission sir.
You have just strengthened the points we have been telling you guys over these years. The two Spanish clubs are superior to other teams not only in the league but across Europe. It's sheer hypocrisy to think these two clubs would not dominate any league in the world knowing fully how they have faired even against the best teams in the leagues across Europe. Kudos should even be given to the smaller teams in la liga for putting up a good fight against them. You people want us to believe the Stokes of this world would stop Barcelona from winning the Epl when they can't even make it to Europe where the heavy weights are tested against one another.
When Man U were dominating the Epl during Fergie's era, winning the league almost every season Until Chelsea and City gained life, I can't remember anybody calling the league a one horse race. Whatever comes from the league is the best and hyped to high heaven. Madrid, Barça, Atletic and Bayern would ensure all the epl teams fight for the fifth spot and below.

I wonder what is so difficult to understand here. I can see you're trying so hard to be polite with him because the way the argument is going, I'm already feeling irritated by his argument cuz it's obvious he's being sentimental.


Personally, I'm not even counting Liverpool cuz I have this feeling that they're doing initial gragra just like Arsenal. I'm tipping City and Chelsea for the title but it's okay if you add Liverpool. It's safe to say it's a three-horse race in both la liga and EPL, simple. I don't understand all these epistle I'm seeing here.

This is a very good post.


I have addressed the bolded on this same thread few days ago, refer to the quote below pls.


Chelseafan1:


Thank you, to consistently win the league, 95% of the time, you need great and quality, World best players to do that.....no matter how good a coach is.

Ok now, Lets assume Barca, Madrid and Atletico ply their trade in the EPL where we have Pool, Chelsea, MAN UTD, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton

Do u think Man Utd will allow Cr7 to join Madrid in the same league, U think Pool will allow Suarez join Barca in the same league, Sanchez to join Chelsea, U think Chelsea will allow Hazard join Atletico, Spurs will release Bale and Modric to join Madrid in the same league, Lets be honest bro, it won't happen.

These are the best players who left the EPL for the 2 best teams dominating the UCL, look at the number of Ballon D'or that has been won between Ronaldo and Messi alone.


There is a reason these two teams are the best.


You can't fault this except you chose not to be sincere with yourself.

That is unfair and hypocritical

By my own understanding, coming into the new season, every team has a motive, they all try to win the league, the teams are not of the same quality, since Alaves cannot spend like Barca would, it will only take miracle for them to beat all odds and win the league, but trust me, all the 20 teams are ready to challenge for the title while I think Title contenders are those who have better chances and the wherewithal to win the league, they can fight, they can spend, they will try.....we have a lot of contenders in the EPL, they mostly have almost equal spending power and rich squad unlike in the LaLiga where you have just two strong teams with superb spending power and quality players.


Sevilla, ATM, Valencia that u think are contenders can never drag a quality player with Barca/Madrid except if they would lose their star players to these 2 teams (Isco and Rakitic) comes to mind


Chelsea on the other hand can drag Pogba with Man Utd, MAN city, Arsenal, MAN UTD can drag Hazard with Chelsea, Chelsea, City, MAN UTD can all pay to sign a star player like Neymar, Bale, can ATM do the same?

By my own understanding, coming into the new season, every team has a motive, they all try to win the league, the teams are not of the same quality, since Alaves cannot spend like Barca would, it will only take miracle for them to beat all odds and win the league, but trust me, all the 20 teams are ready to challenge for the title while I think Title contenders are those who have better chances and the wherewithal to win the league, they can fight, they can spend, they will try.....we have a lot of contenders in the EPL, they mostly have almost equal spending power and rich squad unlike in the LaLiga where you have just two strong teams with superb spending power and quality players.

Does Spurs and Liverpool or eve Arsenal have the Spending power or City and Man utd

Give me examples this last window, How much did Madrid spend compared to other clubs

Neymar is on four yellow cards and will miss the Clasico if he gets booked tomorrow. I like how Luis Enrique is not looking to rest him tomorrow, we'll need all our weapons against Sociedad and Turan can always fill in for Neymar in the Clasico if Neymar gets booked tomorrow.

City have now won six of their seven away games this season. Last season they won seven in total.

Don't even go there, Arsenal can afford to buy any star player they want to buy, except if they don't wanna spend.


I raised other points you have failed to address.

Madrid didn't spend cos they weren't so convinced about getting Hazard, besides they have too many star player on their budget already.

So how is someone who has but doesnt want to spend, how is he different from someone who doesnt have? Is the money for decoration.

Does Arsenal, Spurs or EVerton have the spending power of City or Man Utd?

Which other points do you want me to address

Don't faint yet, Leicester was a championship team 3 seasons ago like these ones u listed, they won the EPL comfortably last season.

Maybe na English dey worry the both of us, but to me, challenger and contender are two different terms.

They are all into it to challenge for it, contenders are those who can actually win it.
