Yet that is not true at all, Unless i'm the only one.

i find the English and Spanish leagues more enjoyable to watch than Serie a you don't .. can't expect everyone to be the same.

i agree with you,

[Low Key]

once again you're talking rubbish. you say the lower teams in the EPL never threaten to win the league, well i could say the same for Serie A, that is such a stupid argument. there is no difference whatsoever.

Liverpool have been shit all season? ok. they were shit when they beat Man United 2-0? They were shit when they beat Aston Villa? They won against Bolton 2-0 this weekend, and they beat Tottenham 2-0 recently too. Liverpool are on a run of something like 6 games unbeaten now and seem to be finding their feet, after an injury ravaged start.

too ignorant to see beyond the gates of Old Trafford

that would be a bit strange, seeing as i hate Man United with a passion.

Nice, you name three players in the EPL that dive, when in italy, players actually get TRAINED to dive and stay down. (i know this because i've been watching "footballs next star" on tv where 10 english players go to italy to fight for an inter milan contract, the coach kept telling them to dive in the penalty box, and the english players were like, WTF we don't dive in england, we stay up)

Drogba is a diving, cheating cunt anyway. and Ronaldo began to dive less as he progressed. but in Italy, oh my god, they dive over the SLIGHTEST things and actually roll about on the floor for 2 minutes. everyone knows that Italy is full of pansies and divers.

blaming the camera for your lack of speed? nice. i've been to live games in italy and i've been to live games in england, and believe me, the difference in speed is phenomenal. also, when foreign players come to england, the one question that get's asked to every single one of them is, "do you think you can cope with the speed of english football?" so yeah, evidentially england is a lot more pacey. i just get so bored watching italian football. in fact, italian football is almost NEVER televised here. the la liga is though. that says something.

Totti, Del Piero, Vucinic, Zarate, Mutu, Gilardino, Trezeguet, Iaquinta, Miccoli, Cavani, Toni, Lucarelli, Ronaldinho, Pato, Borriello, Sneijder, Huntelaar, Milito, Eto'o, Pandev, Giovinco, Di Natale, Quagliarella, Hamsik, Seedorf, Cassano, Pazzini, Paloschi...

Lol, and compare that to ..

torres, gerrard, fabregas, arshavin, tevez, robinho, drogba, lampard, joe cole, lennon, keane, berbatov, adebayor, rooney, giggs, nani, bellemy, wright-phillips, anelka, walcott, reira, babel, maxi, owen, benayoun, van persie, eduado, rosicky, mascherano. (and many more)

not to mention we used to have henry and ronaldo. two of the word's best ever.

also can i just say ..

motherfucker

shut the fuck up

Fuckin prick.

you're a fuckin ignorant cunt.

you're mad. i never insulted you once. the only thing i said that could possibly be perceived as insulting was "a load of dross" which is basically english slang for "a load of rubbish" ....... you're so easily offended, and very very aggressive. calm down, i should report you for using such bad language towards me.

[dR3]

Damn, stop arguing, everyone likes different teams & different leagues.

[chronic]

Seria A is boring. Inter won the scudetto four times on a row and they'll win it again. There's absolutely no contest in Italy and for the ''homegrown talent''; your best team doesn't contain a lot of ''homegrown'' and that is if you count Balotelli as..homegrown. Camera doesn't make that much of a difference, just watch Italy play; same boring defensive play with almost no speed at all. I live in Canada and Serie A doesn't play that ''often''. There's way more games from the Spanish league and the EPL that are being shown in Canada.

Totti, Del Piero, Vucinic, Zarate, Mutu, Gilardino, Trezeguet, Iaquinta, Miccoli, Cavani, Toni, Lucarelli, Ronaldinho, Pato, Borriello, Sneijder, Huntelaar, Milito, Eto'o, Pandev, Giovinco, Di Natale, Quagliarella, Hamsik, Seedorf, Cassano, Pazzini, Paloschi...

Totti? Del Piero? They're almost finished. Zarate is nothing less then a prospect and he's not italian, same for Vucinic. Mutu, the man who got caught with coke again and again? Trezeguet, 32 years old. Iaquinta; average. Miccoli ? You actually consider him part of the best in Italy? Toni; the finished striker that Van Gaal threw away into the reserve team. Ronaldinho; one-two great matches doesn't mean he's back to his top; just look at his performance against Inter. Pato; now that's a great player, too bad he's not homegrown. Boriello; now that's a talent. Sneijder; great player, not homegrown tho. Huntelaar; His career is destroyed, he shouldn't be in this list. Milito, Eto'o, Pandev; Great players too bad they're not italian too. Seedorf? LOL. Hamsik is great but he's a slovenian. So you got about 5 players left that fit into that category. Also I don't understand why Diego Ribas didn't make your ''list''.

Italian football ''real italian football'' (Inter aren't in this category since they got about 3 Italians in the first team) is BORING and UNWATCHABLE(In general because sometimes, some matches are great). Too many fouls, too many errors from the referees, too much hard marking. If Serie A was so great why doesn't the capacity max out? You got Roma, Milan and Juventus(even tho they're not that great this year) who can try to compete against Inter. The rest is very weak but yea, there's always a surprise here and there but that's more caused by the inconsistency of Inter then by the other lower teams. Serie A lost a lot more then you could see after the Scandal and your fans aren't helping. It's common for a team to score and defend the lead for the rest of the match in the Serie A but in the spanish league for exemple; you have teams like Villareal or Getafe that, even after one goal against a team of the same level as team, they'll try to keep scoring. I think about two weeks ago, Athletic beat Madrid 1-0, that's not the kind of think you'd see in Serie A or a team winning by 4's and 5's week in week out. I think Serie a is only resting on it's laurels The big thing that Serie A doesn't have that SPL and EPl have is the end to end stuff and your derby aren't even fun anymore; you already know Inter will win...Barca-Madrid was more exciting in the last 20 minutes then the whole Milan-Inter Derby.

BUT; EPL is weak tactically and we, fans, might prefer that attacking football and matches that'll end 4-4 4-3..etc Well the excitement of theses games underlines the tactical weakness of the teams but even if the tactical aspect of the game is strong (It is in Serie A) it's still not strong enough to compete against the EPL or SPL (except for the top teams) complete teams. Just take a look at the Man U-Roma matches...

IMO: SPL>EPL>Serie A

[Low Key]

you must be ignorant to think that the EPL is all about long balls. that's one of the stupidest comments i've ever read so far. arsenal probably play the most attractive football in the world. man united certainly do not play long balls, they play quick, short passes. man city are the same. chelsea are like man united too, seriously, you're retarded if you think this. italian football is just so fucking slow full stop.

Shut the fuck up. I told you the big four/five teams play a bit more legitimately and attractively, but the rest does nothing but long balls. Faggot, if you're not mature enough to at least respect my preferred league, than you're just a stuck up EPL cunt. I bet on my LIFE that I've watched WAY more EPL than you have watched Serie A. So I know what I'm talking about when I talk of BOTH leagues, unlike your stereotyping ass. Piece of shit.

You're a sad individual. And since you've openly called me retarded, you give me everyyyyyyyyyy right to call you whatever the FUCK I want. Cunt scab.

i wouldn't want to watch such a shit league :S

[Low Key]

italian football will always suck dick. the tv ratings speak for themselves. the fact that the second division in england is more watched than the serie a just goes to show what rubbish excuse of a league it is.

Yup yup, like I said, maybe 3 or 4 years ago, you EPL fans wouldn't say shit about Serie A because it dominated. But I'll let you talk now, just so you can be happy

it may have dominated 4 years ago (although i think that's bullshit too) but that's just history. we're talking about now. no need to live in the past.
