Nottingham Forest Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Not really the forum for this question. You should ask this in the football forum . Unless of course, you mean on FM12 and if that is the case then it would be best posted in the general discussion forum. Oh and the Premier League.

Hunter Pearls Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 La Liga. No room for discussion. The two best teams in the world, the two best players in the world ... 3 teams in the semi-finals of the Europa League, 2 teams in the semi finals of the Champions. All these are facts and not merely opinions. Only in FM the Premier league is better, but reality proves otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Reality proves nothing. We'll go on the past few years where English clubs have had the majority of the clubs in the European competitions. La Liga is quite a dull league as you know what will happen and the two teams that have a chance of winning it. In the Prem, anyone can beat anyone, and there are possibly 6 teams now, at the start of each season who have a chance of winning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRL88 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 There would be more teams in the Premiership who would take points off them than in Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 If Barca and Real were in the Prem, they wouldn't be as good as they are now. The Prem is a more gritty league with more tackles going about. The Barca & Real players wouldn't be able to have the same effect on games like they do now. Like I said, not really for this forum imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidBurn Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Barcelona would destroy the EPL just like they have when English teams face them in Europe. Didn't Bilbao rip apart the best team in England? On FM I find the EPL too easy to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Pearls Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Right now until the Bundesliga have better teams than the EPL. Dortmund and Bayern are a level above any English team.

Lmfao, someone has a problem with the EPL. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I pretty much hate watching Spanish football, it's freaking boring. "Oh look! Barcelona and Real Madrid have won again!" I like watching the EPL because you never know quite what's going to happen in a game, it's much more enjoyable for a neutral. Yea, yea. Barcelona are the best team at present, and most likely will be for a long time. Im bored of them and their boring ass style of play. I'd rather watch Neymar then Messi.

Luizinho Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I reckon if you put Wolves in the Spanish league in real life; they would finish mid-table. They are by far the worst team in the EPL. There are about 12 that could win the EPL if they played to thier potential. In Spain it's only Barcelona and Real... That's pretty boring. Also Athletic Bilbao are not better than Man Utd. They had 2 good games against and Man Utd didn't turn up..... I'm sure if they meet in the a competition next year it will very much a different stroy.

Nottingham Forest Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 BPL is even worse. Does my tits in when people type that. So we've realised Hunter Pearls is wrong. I'm glad it took 26 posts to clear that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 It depends what you mean by "best". I'd go for La Liga over the Premier League any time in terms of technical ability and all-round ball skills. Even the lowliest teams could pass most of the Premier League off the park (though not necessarily all). In terms of pure thrill and entertainment, La Liga can be desperately dull. England's top flight might lack the technical proficiency of Spain's, but it makes up for it by being unpredictable and exciting. Though would be unfair to say that La Liga doesn't ever deliver excitement, because it does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 BPL is even worse. Does my tits in when people type that. At least with BPL, you're getting an abbreviation of what the league is actually called - Barclays Premier League. There's no such thing as the English Premier League. Well, it's not the league's name, anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathxxx Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I pretty much hate watching Spanish football, it's freaking boring. "Oh look! Barcelona and Real Madrid have won again!" I like watching the EPL because you never know quite what's going to happen in a game, it's much more enjoyable for a neutral. Try watching matches that don't feature Barcelona and Real Madrid then? For example, I was at the Granada CF v Athletic Club Bilbao match last night. Cracking game. Even though I'm also a Manchester United fan, being from Manchester originally, you could pretty much say the same thing about United having dominated the Premier League for the last 20 years. How "boring" is that, by comparison? Outside the top few teams in either league, both are just as competitive as one another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Liga might be better than the Prem, but the Bundesliga? Please... People referring to the Europa League is flawed as well, did Man Utd care more about winning that, or beating City to the title?

Erimus1876 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 La Liga these days. Premiership, maybe, possibly, a decade ago. The premiership is now just the most hyped league in the world. Vastly overrated and constantly hyped by sky tv and its pundits to sell "their product" overseas. Take a look at how well La Liga teams do in the Champions League and Europa League and compare it to how well Premiership teams do, and that'll tell you were the real quality lies.

Unlikely since they'd have to accept a TV deal that's a little more fair than their current ones. Would we be seeing £80 million transfer fees? Doubt it...
