Poor Arsenal. I used to laugh at their defensive woes but this seems to be simply ridiculous. At this rate, Stoke might fancy themselves a shot at the last Champions League spot (provided that they can overcome Liverpool and Spurs).

Inter vs Roma coming up! You guys pumped? :D

Prolly not...

Anyways, Roma has a retarded line-up; Perrotta and Taddei are being used as wing-backs. XD I have a feeling this is gonna suck so hard.

A sad day to be a fan of Arsenal. Djourou is so terrible I want to put my fist through my screen.

And Inter's 3-4-3 is looking quite shitty.

Honestly,... such a pathetic league =\ and people wonder why the players in the league went on strike =\. No chance in hell that any team does anything beside real and barca (specially financially)

Yeah that totally would not have happened against a team like Swansea or Blackburn Rovers.

Check out these stats for Barcelona ( vs Osasuna )

Goals: 8
Shots off target: 2
Shots on target: 16
Shots on post/bar: 4
Ball possession: 83%

---

Best Osasuna player: as incredible as you might think, it was actually the goalkeeper ( imagine how bad the rest of the team was )

it IS negative for a league that two teams are so dominant. but at the same time it's also stupid to pass judgement based on the first three games of the league (or even one game, like in this example) - chelsea started out last season with the most ridiculous goal difference I've ever seen, yet eventually failed. and arsenal (which is not a bottom-tier team anyway) already lost 2-8 against the top PL team..

ofcourse its negative, its not particularly interesting to watch, but I dont doubt the status quo will peresist. Spain remains a financial mess and probably will for a while, lets not forget the only real competition Man United wouldve had wouldve been an offcolor Chelsea this season. City, Liverpool and even Chelsea for that matter have spent a shit ton of money to get competitive and its not their own money. It wouldve been a pretty uninteresting race otherwise. You throw those millions, in some cases billions even in another league and that will make competetive teams there to. The epl is just more marketed because its in english and is the most widely seen. Below the top tier aside from the stylistic differences lower tier teams are pretty even across the board in most leagues..

and after all this said and done you can still argue that they arent at the level that Barcelona and Real currently enjoy aside from maybe Man United.
