I guess u knw little abt british ranking, and u knw li2 abt uefa ranking. U spew alot of trash, i won't be suprised u have nt gone beyound ur immediate community therefore u knw li2 abt d outside world. Talking with u further is bringing myself to ur lowlevel and average Nigerian mentality, sorry we can't blend..

End the discuss, you Wana go personal bro, it's a sport, I don't wanna go down that Lane with you, an adage says no be person when call police first dey win case o... Average epl fan always results to insults and fights at the end... Do I look like an average Nigerian to you Let me end it here... Thank God for technology, one small boy would just sit behind his keypad and be spitting thrash... I am more matured, and wouldn't wanna take this further, one final dig, someone who doesn't have a passport talking to me about going beyond the shores of 9ja ... You better respect yourself oga...

Maiconyoung:
whatever has a grt deal of followership is better than its rivals. U are an ardent follower of EPL and u knw there is "quality football" in spain and u left it for "average football" in Epl, who is more deluded? La Liga has been seeking for the limelight all these while, they can win UCl for 10yrs straight, it won't change d fact dat la liga is nt entertaining, it doesn't ignite d passion of football, it is boring. Take it or leave it.

I stopped following the epl with delusion in mid 2000s, I watch games at home, and the only reason I would sub every month is to enjoy the quality of football from Espana in my favorite sofa... I was lodged in an hotel few weeks back, a Liverpool/Tottenham game was on I think, can't remember, I was watching villareal Eibar, the hotel attendant came into my room, saying oga premiership is on, I just looked at him and said I want to watch quality football

iluvpomo:

I do not believe it is just marketing alone (because surely the Spanish know marketing too). The EPL has created a more competitive & entertaining league overall.

Pseudo competition in mediocrity you mean

I don't follow the bandwagon of noise making thinking that's interesting, quality of football played, laliga is light years ahead, you only have to watch both leagues mid table teams, if entertaining is as close to what man utd played in both legs, it really depicts the quality in that league...take more timeout clear your head, watch laliga games at home if you can, look at the quality of football played, then compare it with the police football in England...

Maiconyoung:
has it ever occurred to u dat not everybody on NL are based permanently in Nigeria? No wonder u have been spitting trash. Well if u have been opportuned to watch brazilian clubs u'll undastnd what am talkn abt. Am nt guessing. D media, followership, money etc is what is d driving force behind world football, I won't be suprised u don't know. Using UEFA as d only yard stick to qualify La liga above Epl then u should knw La liga is behind d EPL therefore u need d Ucl to stand a chance against Epl. Take it or leave it, La liga is boring, even el classico is becoming boring of recent.

Please leave out where people are based... If I am spitting thrash, it simply means your thought process is really very wack, reasoning I don't wanna deduce that... Laliga better than the epl... 99% of stats say so... Argue with the stats, even British agencies are not deluded enough to rank epl over the laliga... No need to continue the discuss... Go and play Mario my boy

Oasis007:




Leceister won 2 Goals to Nil against Sevilla at Home...... Yes or No?!

and 3-2 on aggregate, yes or no... Definition of pummeling are results like barca 5-1 Chelsea, Liverpool 4-0madrid, ATM 4-1 Chelsea, sevilla 4-0 middles brought, barca 4-1 Arsenal etc

Upnepaa:
chaiii good news for Chelsea

Grandeur delushion....

alekside:
Your matter tire me You made reference to Liverpool FC vs Sevilla and I told you why the game ended as it did. Ok, here is Liverpool FC stats against your La Liga sides.

.
You shifted the goal post... Use your own mb and postlaliga vs epl, just like Liverpool has a manageable manageable record against laliga, atm, barca, have better record against epl, madrid not far behind... So give us a summary, not picking points

Maiconyoung:
so the US is in Nigeria? Asia is in Nigeria? Spain and italians follow Epl do u knw dat? One they are saying one thing u are saying anoda thing. La Liga is a boring league, u can't even put on ur tv dat u wan2 watch a match btw ATM and Bilbao, but u can always look forward to watching Arsenal vs Hotspurs. Dat is d superiority we are talking about.

... Please don't shift the post... Go and read where the narrative started... Which league is better, use your upper, no with has better media, or spends more money, or is more followed... We are talking on the pitch

Maiconyoung:
so u are more observative than the foreign owners an sky sport? Are more advanced in thinking than the press? If u are talking abt real quality, watch the brazilian league and tell us abt d flair and quality on show there, can u ever compare that with la liga? Yet it is boring to watch same as La Liga, Epl is watched more in Asia, America, Europe than in Africa. I guess u have never travelled out that is why.

Keep your guesses to yourself, you are judging by the myopic view you have here in Nigeria right, we are talking quality of football and head to head, with coefficient, you can continue to eat the media, followership, press and money... Spits it. Must be so frustrating I understand. The look on mourinho face at the final whistle told the story and his press conference afterwards.. Uefa has told us who plays the better football, the relevant stats, I mean on the pitch, head to head says same... EOD

You are really deluded, superiority in followership... Epl fans make me laugh, goal post shifting

Abimloaded:
This...

See you, na now I know say if fans be coach we for dey REFadrid position even with Messi greatness, go and play FM 2018 make you see how management n coaching be, vidal at right back? Against potential hidden 1v1 runs, na die be that o brossss

alekside:
Oga, na you need receive sense. So you dey refer to the match between Liverpool and Atleti of 09/10 season. If na by that, I go remind you sey Liverpool don't beat Real Madrid 5 - 0 on agg before. Same Liverpool don eliminate Barça before.

Argue with the stats bro. EOD

The superiority complex between the Premier League and La Liga has once again resurfaced.

Simon Kjær of Sevilla last week said that "La Liga is the best league in the world. So far I have only played against the smaller teams in Spain and they are all really good and play great football. I sometimes doubt certain teams in England are that good".

Does he have a point or is he having a laugh? To help answer that question, we've enlisted the help of stat experts.

Originally a method to rate and rank chess players, the Elo system has since been adapted to a host of other sports – including football.

The basic principle of the Elo system is that the difference in ratings between two opposing teams provide a prediction for the result of a fixture.

At the end of the game, the rating is updated based on the result; it increases if a team performed better than expected, and decreases if the performance was worse (for more explanation) for the dude who talked about players opinion, that's one for you

josef1:

G story for the gods
Laliga is boring to watch
EPL is the real definition of football (anything can happen) shikena!!!

Only in Nigeria is that thought process allowed, please don't go out of the shores of Nigeria and spill that thrash, because epl makes money for beer parlour and soccer showing houses, how does that transcend to quality of football football on the pitch... Route one farmers league with police football and a noisy press backed by sky money and foreign owners wealth

Maiconyoung:
have I mentioned two players anywhere?
U are far 4rm wat am saying and its obvious u dnt have any fact to butress ur point that "as a league la liga is better than Epl" I gave points already compare dem as a league and give ur points.

IF you want head to head, I can help you Google too on those stats.. Mind the gap in uefa rankings.. Worry about serie A, not laliga

Oasis007:




Forget EPL Sake Bro, I won't mind Chelsea to win and qualify either!

I still can't believe we lost to the same Club Leicester City pummeled in their first UCL Stint.

Epl fan, you call 3-2 score pummel, or did u watch the game at all, sevilla actually bottled that fixture, dominated, missed pens etc, they almost bottled it yesterday against man u, over 2 legs

alekside:
You people should stop this talk already Liverpool lost their 3 1st half goals lead owing to Alberto Moreno's brain fart. Same thing he did against them in the Europa final. The Idiot was dropped after the match. Bring on the same Seville and see if Liverpool won't destroy this time.

Just like ATM destroyed liverfool in Europa seasons back, same liverfool lost leads home and away to sevilla... No be only destroy, them never destroy man u, na sevilla dem wan destroy... Oga recieve sense

Maiconyoung:
U actually lack dat basic skill, ur skills or whatever u call it are wack, Are u tryn to say dat even players like jordi Alba, Andres Iniesta dat said just 3 weeks ago dat d EPL is a more competitive league than La Liga are been decieved by packaging? Packaging fades with time bt Epl is growing 4rm strength to strength in d market will d likes of La Liga is struggling to meet up and attract more patronage, if their competence is so high, why would they be using the Epl as a standard they want to meet up with?
U keep avoiding dis que, give 2 cogent reasons (comparing league by league) i.e without European involvements why u thnk la liga is comparable to the EPL.

Stats don't lie, if you wanna hide behind the opinion of two players, we can as well hide behind the opinion of several managers, more importantly I prefer to hide behind the stats, Epl can Kwantinu to be competitive in sharing money, transfers, press, so called followership, as long they keep getting bested on the pitch where it matters most, I got no problem with their pseudo competition

eph12:

It's you people that talked about what ATM has achieved not me.

If not for Messi Ronaldo Iniesta and Xavi but don't worry we'll soon see the last of them.

I can very well see how ronaldo, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta helped sevilla and ATM in the league and Europe the truth is apart from the big two, these clubs we are talking about are 'selling clubs', great management, football culture and style has made them still relevant today, even Valencia is coming up too... Since Spain do not have the press and tons of money to compete with the epl, they resought to compete where it matters most, on the field of play

hectorharry18:
exactly my brother, later they will say English football is the hardest. Mtcheew

Looking at the goalscoring stats, safe to say it's the easiest, Salah n Kane on 24 goals... City also making us see how easy the league is, all those competitiveness stunt na pseudo-competition

eph12:

Why is that? Are they bereaved?

Team that has played two ucl finals in last 4years, and only choked against their senior bros when it mattered most, you are calling liverfool, Tottenham... Get up from your delusion

eph12:

Liverpool is representing them.

So you guys have introduced another variable abi? What has budget got to do with anything? Is it EPL teams that asked Barça and Madrid to steal the money meant for 20 teams?

What exactly has ATM and simeone won in the past 4 years of wonders?

What has liverfool Arsenal Tottenham won also, same liverfool couldn't beat sevilla, no one introduced that narrative, that is what the epl prides itself on, money, followership and press... Wanna see ATM vs gunners though

nitrogen:


What are you saying Na? Leicester City dealt with Sevilla last season Na! Shuuuuuuuu

Dealt indeed, seem you didn't even watch both legs, sevilla bottled it now

Earth2Metahuman:
and they only managed 4shots on Target.


What an embarrassment to England. Totteham will beat that team nothing less down 5-0

Another epl fan rant,, those chokers

Isomerizm:
Mats-Roberto-pique-Titi-Alba-Paulinho-Rakitik-Busquets-Gomez-Messi- Suarez

Trust Valvershit to pull this up tonight.

Valverde isn't shit my guy, doing the best for the team collectively, same fans would argue dembele is still learning, vidal is poor, Paulinho is Lord, gomes no confidence, so who would play... Till you play football manager game, you wouldnt understand how managing a team, not to talk of barca isn't a tea party, you gotta look at all angles and make informed decisions

eph12:

Why is Athletico no more in the champions league? Were they choked or gagged?

You should be ashamed trolling ATM honestly, speaks volumes on how epl teams are garbage

eph12:

Why is Athletico no more in the champions league? Were they choked or gagged?

Sevilla are representing them, and why is Arsenal, Tottenham, man utd not in the champions league... Looking at the teams budgets and comparing, atm and simeone have been doing wonders for 4years now, bar this season

eph12:

This season alone the two sides have met 6 times but won just once. Hmmm

Well when it was more important we know which side choked so far

Dainikel:

Well everyone knows Barcelona would get the business done and the highlighted is debatable. If it were Manchester City in question anything can happen in this stance.

What I meant is Tot lost, man utd lost, Liverpool drew 0-0, mancity lost 1-2....so looking at the second leg results, going by that narrative what do you see?
