I agree with Den. A bit premature.

You can say scottish premiership is poor, because there is emperical evidence.

At the moment, you are judging english pl on a few games.

Nope typical Sky best league in the world mantra. We are discussing EPL not Scotland. EPL does not attract the top players, fact.

I do enjoy the EPL top games but a lot of dross below that.

lol..we are discussing your opinion of the epl. That means I can thus assess what basis you draw that opinion.

In the scottish thread, you mention celtic playing hearts off the pitch, and ignore a ddogy penalty decision. that calls into question your opinion. :D

Nonsense as usual, it was a dodgy penalty but that doesnt change the fact we did indeed play you off the park totally:D your opinion is invalid as you don't even go to watch the side you allegedly "support" rarely pay attention to armchair "fans"

Does the Premiership attract the top European players? And are the teams I listed decent sides? I think not. For what it's worth I never do and never have watched other Scottish league games, the standard is rubbish up here. I go to watch Celtic and the last 15 years our standard has been good. Very easy to knock Scottish football but giving the EPL the bigun is misguided

lol..because you say so, does not make it so..except in your own mind :D

And celtic's standard? Pretty poor. you can't count the occasional lucky result as good performance, lots of teams get that. Delusions do not make a good team.

Hull, Cardiff, West Brom, Sunderland, Newcastle, Fulham, Stoke, Palace all crap some average sides out with that too.
There are poor sides in every big league in Europe and the PL is no different but as for other sides being stronger then us then perhaps Barcelona and Real Madrid but not any of the others in my humble opinion Henke.:nono:

I just read this on Villarreal..

Quote:
This is a small town. Only Monaco has had a team in the Champions League semi-final with a population below the 40,000 that live here. Real Madrid's front four had a combined cost of €261m. There was a €380m difference in the cost of the starting XIs. Only two players in the Villarreal side earn more than €1m a year; Bale and Ronaldo reportedly make 10 times that. Unemployed Villarreal fans have been given free season tickets.

Nonsense we spent roughly £7 million on players this season. Mid table English sides are spending £15 million on one player. We are also not guaranteed Champions League football we have to play 2 or 3 qualifying rounds almost every season. Yes we make more than any Scottish side by a mile but doesn't stand up to the vast majority of German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portugese, English and probably the Dutch league in terms of TV revenue etc. Not to mention the money sloshing about in Russian football. We do just fine for a Scottish side.

Oh and today's game another thriller from the best league in the world. Gary Neville himself alluded to fact the EPL has been poor this season so far
