My Son,
Having a romp with commissioners, organising Xmas parties on Nairaland is no way to live  Huh Huh.  Your mates are doing Brittany Spears and you are stuck with some Waffi chics

I think it is a Man Utd think because some weeks back Ronaldo and Anderson were caught doing same.

You know Dwight Yorke was also a legendary stud in his time.  Huh Grin

I can't really say myself. But i think one of the reasons - and perhaps the most important - should be MEDIA COVERAGE. More people round - Nigeria inclusive -  have access to the premiership more than all other leagues combined.

People keep on talking about hype as the reason why the EPL is popular. When will we learn to see it as excellent marketing?
The EPL claims to be the most EXCITING league NOT the BEST. Just like You will rather watch Transformers rather than the Critically acclaimed Elizabeth part 2.
As to the fact that the top 4 hasn't changed since: boo hoo, Newcastle and Everton have finished in fourth spot not too long ago. last year it was Arsenal's turn. this year maybe Chelsea(amen). in germany top 5 always Bayern, Shalke, Bremen, Stuttgart and/or Dortmund.
Italy; Inter, Milan, Juve(except last season), Roma+/-fiorentina or lazio. La liga:Real, Barca,Valencia and any other off the shelf club.
Please Respect the PREMIERSHIP, after all no one is arguing about La liga

You are too wrong!! Do you remember Hamburg, Bayer Leverkusen, Kaiserslautern won the league in 1998, Hertha berlin was in top 4 in 1998

In SPain Zaragoza, Deportivo, Osasuna, betis, Villareal, Sevilla, Mallorca e.t.c have all tasted top 4 in the last 10 years.

Good evening Sir, Uncle Dayokanu
For the top 4 matter, i want you to know that in the premiership the top 4 team are consistent and that why they don't drop below. But in other leagues (you know them) the teams are not consistent at all and that is why some teams do well for a season but become poor again; that is not the mark of a good team

That is why they always say it is predictable. You can close your eyes and predict the top 4 in EPL. Even when Arsenal was not playing well in the EPL 3 seasons

ago the other teams do not have the guts to overthrow them. So from the start of the season most of the clubs know that the highest they can be is 5th position

Yeah I know, the premiership is even more predictable than the Norwagian LeagueRosenborg won 13 years in a row that's why 160 million people in the world watch the match between Arsenal and Manchester United.

Maybe I'll just stick to that 'boring' league that has the highest foreign player to home player ratio

thanks for not arguing about the predictability of the Serie A (which was probably due to bribed referees). you mentioned teams like Kaiserslautern who have been relegated since. I don't remember any EPL winner being relegated (CONSISTENCY!!! or as you call it predictability) also Clubs like Deportivo and betis now struggle to stay alive.
Please respect the only league that gives you football On boxing-day and on January 2 because they don't go on break,(Italy,Germany,Spain  Lips sealed)
Even while play two different domestic Cup competitions.All this with 20 teams( unlike germany Huh)
As for the days when english teams were weak in europe where were the Italian teams from 1999-2003 Huh
Remember also:from 1977-1982 the winners were all english. 6 straight years(not black and white years like Real Madrid) na moin-moin Huh Huh

oga,money is the ultimate motivation!thats why they play football on holidays instead of getting a well deserved rest.
am sure if u ask the players they will confess its actually the money not the love of the game.

Just think about it, you come back from church or where-ever on boxing day switch on your telly and presto; a premiership game. (and the English FA usually fixes a juicy match for this period). These guys aggressively market their league. It is not about the FA's love of the game but about money. They make the English love their game and ultimately Nigerians. It's the same thing Americans have done with Basket-ball. Tell me what is there not to love about the EPL. If mourhino had been real's coach, he would have been sacked for not winning it in entertaining style Grin

please tell me what other league in the world get's front page stories in major newspapers, is followed in the home country like a religion and full to capacity stadiums, even for the smallest teams. please don't call that corruption ridden serie A.
Imagine Steve McLaren was voted to be the man with the second most important job in England(After the prime minister) that's the kind of commitment the english people give to their football. please don't pin the bame on nigerians for lovin it, blame the likes of arsenal, man roo and abrahimovich for making the premier league so interesting.
As Lami said 'what's there not to love bout the EPL' and as i said, I'll stick with the remaining 160million people in the world watching it

PEople don't even know why real madrid have won 9 UCL trophies, go and do research on hoe champions league started, then you will know what made them and others to have won so much.   So don't blame premiership teams for not winning the UCL like some other leagues

You were about doing another of your dumb posts again. Why were you ashamed all of a sudden to show the world the reason real Madrid has won so much more than any EPL club.  Give us the reason.  You would only be embarrassed once and you would get it right next time.

wetin dey my people. i really no know wetin dey do our boys nowadays.everywhere is premiership mess talk. in fact it is the general and most populous discourse in nigeria today. if the accolade given to Premiership league can be this much, then our NFA should start working towards making things work in our local league. for we already have loyalist at hand ready to embrace it's development as it is for premiership league matches.     Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin
