Finn Claw II Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 One thing I will say about German football is that the free to air highlights show - Sportschau - is pretty ametuer in terms of analysis and production. But you do get to watch it a 6.30pm so before a night out rather than after.
Stevosevic Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 Bayern are winning the Bundesliga again this season, we already know that. Who is winning the PL? You can find arguments for Chelsea, City, United and Arsenal this year
Fez of Mahrez Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 I think the point that gets lost in these debates about the strengths of different leagues is how insular the Premier League is. It's all about the league as a product which has obviously been sold well to foreign markets but seems to come at a cost when you consider how Premier League teams treat the national side, the Europa League, domestic cup competitions and often their own core support. There are so many different measurements you can use to evaluate the strength of a league that it is, of course, ultimately pointless. Nevertheless, there's a lot of bias showing through from a lot on here, which is understandable but rarely leads to a sensible perspective.
Molly Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 Similar but not the same in France. PSG are the big money team and the only French team with a hope of making the finals of the CL and then a gaggle of teams like Marseille, Monaco, Lyon then St.Ettienne and Bordeaux and then the dross begins with quite a few good young players spotted throughout. But can't see why anyone would choose a team outside the top 4 over a Prem team.

Molly Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 An "infinitesimally larger chance" would mean an extremely small larger chance. He gave you the proper meaning of the word in the context of your use of it. He did this not because he misspelt it but because of how you used it. Yes, I am a macho man but I don't wear boots in bed. You are clearly not the sharpest tool in the box. Nothing wrong with that mind except when you start presenting as a bit of a know it all. He tried to be clever and correct me and failed to spell the word correctly. He's a plonker like you? Not quite sure why you put your nose in but I guess it's long by name not by nature.
roblcfc84 Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 Tim vickery reckons BL - but that's just his view, albeit his knows his stuff
ARM1968 Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 Sod all that. Is the little Chilean wizard gonna come or not? Left club, only our bid accepted. Where is he?
MC Prussian Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 German football can be compared to Scottish football....one or two quality teams, the rest making up the numbers. Apart from Bayern Munich, you have Wolfsburg, Dortmund (despite the poor past season still a stronghold), Mönchengladbach, Leverkusen and a couple of more than decent mid-table teams, such as Augsburg, Mainz and Schalke.

And you are now telling me I meant a much bigger chance instead of a slightly bigger chance are you? Follow the argument. 1 guy says leverkusen are not a bigger pull than Leicester even though they are in the CL which is what the player wants. I said they are because whatever their chance they are still in the CL and so have a chance to win it unlike us. Have you got it now, mr sharp (but small) tool?

But you do get to watch it a 6.30pm so before a night out rather than after. Well, it's not like the ARD that airs it has a lot of time to put all the highlights together and adding in-depth match analysis - given the fact that most Saturday games finish at 5.15pm, slightly more than an hour before the "Sportschau" begins.

You used a word incorrectly, someone corrected you, you couldn't handle it so you jumped down his throat for a spelling mistake, one which was actually a closer attempt at spelling "infinitesimally" than yours.

You can find arguments for Chelsea, City, United and Arsenal this year Dosn't mean the Leagues better in terms of quality , PSG made chelsea look silly in the CL at times last season. I'd put money on non of our top 4 making it to the last 4 of of the Champions League this season, but a German club will.
gerrytaggart Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 Look at us all fighting and being rude to each other. Charles Aranguiz has done this to us. Just move to BL already, this place needs time to heal.

'An infinitesimally larger chance' means an extremely small larger chance eh, a bit like 'a slightly better chance' then. Why did he not say a 'fantastically smaller chance', that would be crap as well, but brilliantly not very interesting in a stupidly clever way maybe.
ARM1968 Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 Is he landing in London and travelling up or would it be Birmingham? If he flew out from Brazil he's gotta be somewhere - but where.
22BLUE Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 'An infinitesimally larger choice' means an extremely small larger choice eh, a bit like 'a slightly better chance' then. Why did he not say a 'fantastically smaller chance', that would be crap as well, but brilliantly not very interesting in a stupidly clever way maybe. What?

Lets all pull together and welcome Joey Barton and Will Hughes to the club.

I said they are because whatever their chance they are still in the CL and so have a chance to win it unlike us. Have you got it now, mr sharp (but small) tool? I'm confident you that you didn't mean extremely small or with a value approaching zero.I'm confident that you misunderstood the word and feel piqued (look it up) by the reply you got. I'm confident that you are now in the midst of a hissy fit. I'm confident that you will respond to this post with yet more tripe. I'm confident that I won't reply to you on this further. I understand why it is difficult for your brain to process what a fool you are but the thread is about Charles and not your wounded ego.

She meant "an infinitely larger chance", because that's what it is when our chances of winning it are presently 0%. And yeah lets leave it at that.
st albans fox Posted 1 August 2015 Posted 1 August 2015 This type of debate within a thread generally isn't good news for the deal. It tends to reflect the real background situation. the difference between the PL and the other European leagues is the nature of the competition. The PL clubs all earn big money so their squads are better. That means no 'easy' games for the bigger sides. The quality of the ones near the top are generally much of a muchness with the top European teams being a tad better than the PL ones added to the fact that the PL side will nearly always have a tough fixture the week before any euro game. maybe he doesn't fancy hard graft every week?
