European Leagues

[Jack Fulham]

I don't usually take must interest in the major European leagues but as Fulham are in the Europa League it's certainly been and interesting start to most campaigns, the Italian one intrigues me the most. As you'd expect, Inter are leading the way but i think this season Fiorentina, Sampadoria and Parma have offered an interesting challenge to the top sides in Italy. You can never really tell how teams such as Napoli or Lazio will do, while Juventus don't look bad either, AC Milan look pretty fragile under Leonardo and Huntelaar has been rubbish, Roma don't look to good either with bad start under Spalleti but I'm sure Ranieri will make them into a solid unit, they have a great team, I just hope Fulham will beat them on Thursday.

Spain also looks very interesting this season, Villarreal find themselves rock bottom but i always thought it was Pellegrini that made them click. Atletico aren't exactly doing well this season either, they have a great midfield and world class strike partnership but their defence is absolute *****. Sevilla though look amazing this under Manolo Jimenez, they've beaten Real Madrid and i really believe they can offer decent challenge to Barca and Real, I still think Barca will win the title though, they probably aren't as dominant as Mourinho's Inter though who seems to rule over in Italy, Inter seems to be miles ahead of other top Italian clubs.

As people will know i am always sticking up for the other league's around Europe. People seem to have this idea that nothing can beat the premiership but alot of league's are highly entertaining.

Spanish football is amazing as is German. My favourite teams to watch at the moment are Barca, Sporting (spanish Sporting that is) and Mallorca

Nice! Always wanted to go watch Barca. Going to a game in Germany is another must do for me. The grounds sell out every week and the fans are amazing.

i personally feel that the german league has teams of reasonably balanced standards as compared to england's 'monopoly', whereby the big four always owned in the past, though i believe the statistics would change this season

yeah German clubs funding comes from ticket sales and shirt sales. There is not much tv money there so they get it elsewhere.
