In terms of strength amongst the top four teams, yes. In terms of excitement throughout the season, no. In terms of technical ability, no.Originally posted by JohnDoe View PostComment

Not buying that for one second. If a team like Real Madrid can stay unbeaten for 18 games, it's enough for me to come to the conclusion that La Liga is ****. I've seen a few Spanish mid-table sides and they wouldn't survive here.Originally posted by Joe King View Post
Yeah, Barca are awesome but that doesn't mean the rest of the league plays a good brand of football, far from it. Half of La Liga are talentless teams who can't string a few passes together, on the other hand almost every Premier League side has a few decent players.
Boro would comfortably sit at mid-table there, Real would struggle to get into the top four and Valencia/Villareal/Seville are Spurs/City level. I'd say from 9th place down, La Liga is championship level. Seriously.Comment

I'm not directly comparing the Premiership to La Liga. La Liga's awful teams are really bad. Woeful but to say the Premiership is the best league is a rather subjective manner obviously. As I said in terms of excitement, the German league is a better league, you have more than two teams going for the title every season, they average more goals a game and have a less likely chance of having goalless draws. However, the brand of football isn't as sharp and direct how it is here in England. Again, only a few teams can play to that style. I would say, again only the top four can play to a speed which is unmatched in comparison to the leaders of respective European leagues. Do you think Villa, Everton, City, Spurs can play to the same tempo? Not consistently anyway. There are some real awful one sided European leagues like the Italian or Belgian, but you watch the Eredivisie or Ligue 1, its been refreshing to watch as a neutral. As supporters of a team in England, we obviously don't want refreshing but do you see City really breaking the top four anytime soon? Villa? Everton? Spurs?Originally posted by JohnDoe View Post
As I said, the pace of some of our teams in unmatched but as a whole the inequality within the league is clear to see, not so much in other leagues. La Liga has been blitzed this season by Barcelona, no team has rivaled them seriously enough. Real Madrid have been through too much **** with Schuster being sacked, Ramon Calderon fixing a presidential vote. I think once they sort themselves out, they will challenge Barcelona properly. Valencia have had all sorts from proposed fire sales, unpaid players, no stadium. Sevilla, Villarreal and Atletico are teams which would rival Spurs, Everton, Villa and I think they would actually beat them. Sevilla thrashed Spurs a few seasons ago in the UEFA Cup, Everton lost to Villarreal and Villa can't be bothered with Europe.
Do I think the English league is the undisputed best league? No.Comment
