The ones ripping JAMB apart WILL NEVER sit for POLY-JAMB exams.
Our priorities are different in England. . . . . .
The BIG TEAMS always ensure they finish in the top four so they can play in the ELITE Champions League whereas teams like Bayern Munich and Milan don't really care about their domestic leagues(cos they know it's SHYTE).

I dont get this. . . Is Dayo trying to say the German league is
better than the EPL?

I dont think thats worth discussing. Its like comparing SLEEP
with DEATH!

I dont get it either why a league of 20 teams should always be rated based on the performance of 4 teams alone and not on the other representatives in Europe

Still not a basis for comparing it with the Bundesliga. This
is the same bundesliga you've admitted right here on this
forum was dwindling.

And like Sauron said, UEFA has been ranking leagues for
long. When they were ranking the Italian and Spanish
leagues as the best, no one complained. The English, and
their fans did not complain.

Now they've rated it the best and so it is.

End of story.

And mind you, having top 4 strong teams is no joke. . .

when UEFA was ranking other leagues as tops they were justified cos teams from the countries swept all titles
or were very dominant in ALL UEFA competitions. Not just one

That obviously means winning the UEFA cup alongside the UCL was
not the criteria they were using.

It's obviously Dayo's criteria and it's only heard on Nairaland. 

DK please tell me the last time a bundesliga side won anything in europe?

tell me apart form Bayern munich and bayer leverkusen, which other german team has made any significant impact in the European scene?

fyi pompey that u've been hitting on gave a good account of themselves against ac milan.


DK do tell me how many mid-league german teams have decent campaigns in europe?
it's not just the strenght of 4 teams, it's the potential of all 18 teams in the EPL.

Having 4 very strong teams in a league is a great thing. That
is almost A QUATER of the whole league.

@Tayoccu,

Its the lack of information and knowledge that is the problem.

Do u know Borrousia Dortmund won the CL Do you know Schalke 04 won the UEFA cup.

Portsmouth gave a good account and didnt qualify the drew Milan at home. While Wolfsburg topped the group that had Milan drew Milan at San Siro. I bet you havent heard about a club called Wolfsburg before.

Good account and couldnt qualify from a group of Braga and Wolfsburg. Good account indeed.

@Akinalabi,
In a league of 20 teams only 4 can boast of a good performance in Europe

Spain - Deportivo and Villareal played CL semis.
Valencia Played CL finals
Barcelona and real won

UEFA cup. Sevilla and Valencia won, Espanyol played finals
Osasuna semis

We are talking about 8 different clubs who have represented their countries well within the last 8 years.

How did you come up with 8 years? To suit your argument abi?

DAYO!!! 

Why 8 years? The rise of the premiership has been a matter
of just about 5 years. 8 years ago, the premiership was not
rated as the best so dont give me that.

Now compare this to any country in Europe.

4 consecutive champions league finals in 4 years

Winning 2 of them.

All English final in one of them.

Quite a few semi finals (i dont have the exact figures now)

A UEFA cup final

That makes it 5 teams in 4 years representing their country well.

If you name any country that has done better than that in the
last 4 years, I will submit right here that you won this argument.

In 5 years

Barcelona won the CL, Barcelona, Villareal played the semis

UEFA cup

Valencia and Sevilla wins
Espanyol plays finals and Osasuna semis

That shows a balanced league and this goes beyond the Top teams only.

The mid table teams can also compete that is the point.

The top teams are competitve amongst their peers, also the mid table teams are competitive not a lopsided EPL

Just compare the two for yourself.

But before we go too far. Look at the title of this thread.

League Analysis: The EPL Vs The Bundesliga

Oya, compare the two using your "balanced league" analogy.

I can't believe akinalabi is still here.

UEFA think EPL is the best.
IFFFHS think EPL is the best.
FIFA know EPL is the best.
There's a reason we play 4 teams in the UCL and Bundesliga play 3(will be reduced to 2 very soon).

What other proof do you need??

Comparing the 2, Spain and England shows that Spain has lots of clubs who can represent and challenge Europe while EPL has just 4.

Still here mate. Enjoying the Chelsea saga

What about Germany? That is what this thread is about.

The premiership and the bundesliga.

he likes not to answer that cos the Budesliga and the eredivise are equal.
The EPL and the Bundesliga? do u wanna compare death with sleep?
nahhh

Let's see....this year the EPL winners from last year couldn't top BVB, Real Madrid, or Ajax. Arsenal lost to Schalke. No team made it to the final 4. It's all about money and media coverage. That will change after this season and the league will become as worthless as the English national team.
