Premier League 25/26

[te amo barca]

You couldnt name one team in La Liga outside Barca or Real that have a quality, style or group of players worth watching.

That is he reality.

Very ignorant and England-centric to say that. Try thinking outside of your own arse.

I enjoy Atletico games, they have great players. Celta, Villarreal, Real Betis, Rayo, Girona, Sociedad all play proactive football and often a fun watch.

in the EPL? Barely anyone is playing attacking free-flowing football. Not sure why you keep bringing up Liverpool as their own fans have repeatedly called for Slot's head this season, unhappy with the boring football he is coaching. I can say that Bournemouth, especially last year, played some great football - thanks to a Spanish manager Iraola.

There is nothing exciting watching the players in La Liga out with top 3.

EPL has players from mid to relegation teams going to top teams in Europe for a reason.

Folk can lie about finding Villareal, Betis etc all briliant to watch while tune into EPL.

La Liga has no transfer budget so ofc player quality will be lower

Premier league promoted teams spend more than Barca and Madrid nowadays lol

 

[MonteCuler]

Not all PL teams play for corners and set pieces.

Arsenal this season and teams like Brentford do.

Why is the entire league being stereotyped because of Arsenal?

Didn't see you guys stereotyping the entire league when Pep and Klopp were playing some of the most entertaining Football week in week out.

Ok

Outside Arsenal, which teams in England play good football?

There is at most 4-5 watchable sides in the PL

 

[Temptation]

Has the PL product been disappointing to watch this season? Ofcourse it has.

But the thing is the other leagues have been underwhelming for a while.

This period isn't very entertaining for the sport in general.

PL has been better overall because of the money.

Why does this matter

PL fans don't care about any league because they live in a bubble and think only english football exists. This is well estabilished and is not a new thing. It's where the term "premtard" comes from

Complete lie and you dont have clue what talking about.

La Liga football was part of tv staple in UK for years and followed on at Sat/Sunday nights

But yes other leagues do watch EPL more... the reasons being clear.

The Premier League is boring now: A tactical way to save it

The Premier League just isn't as fun as it used to be. But ESPN's Ryan O'Hanlon has figured out a way to fix it, if one coach is brave enough.

www.espn.com

"Through 28 weeks, Premier League teams have combined for 505 open-play goals -- the fewest since the 2020-21 pandemic season. And if we remove that one season in the history of England's top flight when there were no fans in the stands, then this is the lowest-scoring season from open play since 2009-10.

Teams have only put 1,659 open-play shots on target so far this season -- by far the lowest in Opta's 17-season dataset, and 300-plus shots fewer than in either of the past two seasons.

Prefer pretty passing to goalmouth action? Well, you've been bored to death this year, too: teams have completed 48,248 open-play passes in the attacking third. That's the lowest since 2011-12 and nearly 10,000 fewer than we saw either last year or the year before."

More goalless draws than in any of the previous 3 seasons already as well.

The data is there. Klopp is not there anymore and Pep is washed.

City and Liverpool play great Football normally but this season both the clubs are going through major problems. City have been decent enough to watch still.

United under the new manager have been good to watch.

Brighton always play good style of Football.

Chelsea are an exciting young team.

Sunderland have been brilliant to watch this season for multiple reasons.

Newcastle games are always high energy and entertaining.

Everton have been decent to watch this season.

Whaaaaaaaaaat? Nobody in England is watchable. Not one team.

People will say I have an agenda, but last season I consistently said that the only other team I watched fairly regularly was Liverpool .... An EPL club. They were great fun to follow last year and rooted for them a fair bit.

Proves I'm very fair in my criticism that the EPL this season is as boring and COWARDLY a league as there has ever been. And when you factor in the money spent ...... Sheesh. Give me strength.

The only LL game PL fans watch is the El Clasico.

LL fans watch the PL a lot more comparatively speaking.

PL fans generally don't care about the LL.

So how exactly can premtards claim that other leagues are less exciting if they don't even watch the games? They have 0 ways of knowing if the games in other leagues are a bad watch... I'm pretty sure they don't care to check the tables, xG or other stats lol.

Maybe football as a whole is the least exciting it's ever been right now due to coaching flair out of the players. But EPL is sure as fuck not the best league to watch entertainment-wise.

Boom. They tried that strawman with me yesterday asking me why I'm watching a shit boring league. Well, how the fuck am I supposed to know it's boring without having watched it? And when I explained the only reason I was watching was because I had bets on large enough to warrant watching, I was hit with the fake news accusations, just like you were.

And I can prove I bet every weekend on football matches as I discussed as much with Gregorrin a few months ago.

The stats shows it's boring
Ex players say it's boring.
Current players say it's boring.
Current managers say it's boring.
Ex managers say it's boring.
The eye test show it's boring.

But they are all wrong apparently.

Tbh, most entertaining league for me this season has been Saudi league @Andresito @Haraldinho @Maradona37

Top teams are allergic to 0-0, a lot of goals, a lot of comebacks and a lot of drama/fights. I would even watch it if Cristiano doesnt play there anymore!

Why are stadiums empty then?

Why are stadiums empty then?

Quality = high costs, many fans are too broke to buy tickets but the top matches are nearly full

Quick check says cheapest tickets are like 10€. You could attend 10 games if you didn't look at your phone while driving.

Got to deport all these Spanish managers ruining the English game.
