My point is may be the quality of 1 to 20 of EPL is higher than the respective ones of spain. May be. But from a entertainment point of view, week in week out Spain is much better. Either way the stat you pulled out just says nothing (and even if it did, look at the league tables now the conclusions can be completely different supporting my stand.)

Also, it rarely works that when top teams meet the football is entertaining. And nothing personal man, I guess we would beg to differ. Thats all from me here.

I did watch Atletico v/s Barca, and was rooting for Atletico. And yes, it was a very good game. But you forget (rather conveniently, perhaps) that it was a game between side #1 and side #5. That such a game should be interesting is a no-brainer. But one swallow does not make a summer. I could use the same logic and claim that the English league is way better because Stoke came back from two goals down to draw at Villa, despite the gulf in class (and points) between the two sides.

(Incidentally, the opening up of the Liga is not because suddenly the other sides have started playing better. It is because Barcelona, who shipped an incredible four goals, have had a slump in form.)

Yes, it is a just a phase, a longish one perhaps. But that is all I have claimed too. If I had hinted at the English league being the greatest ever since Adam was a boy, you are justified in questioning my intelligence or the raison d’etre of this post.

At the moment I agree that EPL top 4 are bossing Europe. But this I think is just a phase as you had the spanish leagues bossing Europe in the begining of the decade.

In terms of which is the best league, please watch yesterday’s Barcelona vs. Atletico Mardid match and only then pass your comments.

Peace.
