Beat England's best;p And may I add, Manchester United were made to look like a very average side against Barcelona.
Not really a good point tbh. Barcelona make every side look average. They made Real Madrid look average when they weren't falling down.
If you're going off the best 'team' then Spain have it. If you're going off the best action, best viewing, best conclusions then the EPL has it. Me, I'd MUCH rather watch a league where anything can happen and the winner/s aren't written in stone.
Barcelona is by far best team in the world. If we looked average against them, I can take it. "Second best team in world" lost against Barca 5-0. As far as I know, La Liga is mikey mouse league, you have Barca and Real, and that's about it. ( Yes we played against Valencia and they were pain in the ***, but our form at the start of the season is always bad)
You actually think that 2 team league is better than La Liga?
The Premier League is overrated, in my opinion, and it isn't as competitive as everyone thinks. In Italy, Sampdoria/Juventus/Napoli/Lazio/Palermo/Genoa/AC Milan/Inter Milan/Roma/Fiorentina all challenge for the top 4 (although not Sampdoria anymore after their shock relegation) although the bottom half of their table isn't as good as the Prem.
Sneidjer has made the right choice, I think, as Inter Milan are a top team who will win trophies. Oh, and his salary is deserved, he is one of the best AMCs in the world.
I don't see why everyone is complaining about his salary/value as many players are on massive salaries in the Prem (Milan Jovanovic is on £120k p/w and Gary Neville was on [I think] £80k p/w until he retired and those players are nowhere near the best at their clubs, never mind the world).
They'll probably move for Modric, Hamsik or Nasri now but I don't really see Hamsik leaving. I think they should of got Nuri Sahin earlier on, before Madrid got him as he was sold for only £10m, he's young and versatile too.

That's only because you support Wigan, who would probably crumble in La Liga. Anyway, the teams in Spain don't all play defensive like many in England and there are high scoring games (they defend against Barca though, you basically have to).
Agreed. Chelsea and United are the only 2 realistic teams of winning it, Arsenal say they can every year and crumble as Manchester City are about as good as Atletico Madrid.

Real did excellently until Pepe got sent off for a clean tackle. However, they did get drubbed 5-0 once too.

More teams have won La Liga as the EPL since the EPL's current incarnation. Blackburn, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea. La Liga has Barca, Real, Deportivo, Atletico Madrid and Valencia in the same space of time.
Regardless, Wesley Sneijder has settled in Italy, he's being paid 7M£ a year and he's got a gorgeous wife whom he's converted to Catholicism for. I'm sure he'll be able to look himself in the mirror, wearing his Champions League gold medal, and not be too bothered he didn't play for Manchester United or Chelsea.

The fact he might go another year without a trophy is an aging inter side and finish his career not at the top.
Heh Chaz
I talking about present, not history. Deportivo and Valencia are without money, Atletico Madrid is good, but we'll see them next year. There's more teams who can challenge Chelsea and United in PL, than Barca ( and Real) in La Liga
Anyway... we are going off topic. I don't have time for this discussion, tastes are subjectiveI dont even believe that we wanted Sneijder in the first place. His natural position is #10 which is occupied by Rooney. He is not effective as a CM. So either way I'm happy. Modric FTW...

Do you think you'll still pay £30m+ for Modric? There's a possibility that Spurs may need to sell to correct the imbalance in their accounts for losing out on CL football but they'll be ramping up the price to silly levels given they'll need to replace him too. Be interesting to see.
In fairness, it's daft money some of these players want. If FFP forces some of them to realise that they'll just have to do a bit of saving with the £30m+ they'll earn over a decade, great stuff.

sunilvk7 - I'm sure the gloating can resume when that transfer is tied up
WC is a lot more difficult IMO, but if that's what you think then fair enough.
