But Mo is just an explicit asshat, whereas people hate Belichick because the team as a whole is shady as fuck and he never says anything or smiles. Oh, and an own goal from H96! BVB back in the lead and Bayern is down 0-1.  | ||

Actually, only 4 different teams have ever won the Premier League. 2 from London, and 2 from Manchester. 5 teams. Blackburn Rovers won it once. I don´t really think the criticism is fair, because the BPL is not so amazing because of its great variety of strong teams, it´s because while the big 4 are more consistent than all the others, any team is capable of beating any other team, and does so regularly. Whereas if you look at the Dutch league, it is a complete disgrace if Ajax or PSV loses to a team like De Graafschap or Heracles. It happens occasionally, but there are simply too many games that are just completely uninteresting to watch, either because the expected result is a one-sided stomp, or because the level is going to be pathetically horrible (what neutral viewer actually wants to watch Willem II - Excelsior)? La Liga has a similar problem: Barcelona and Madrid are expected to win with a 4+ goal difference from about 10 other teams in the league. It doesn´t always happen (lol. Gijon), but it´s expected, which makes it boring. | ||

Yeah thats true but I met Belichik my freshman year his son play varsity Lacrosse and he was a total douche to everyone which was really surprising because Im sure Mou is nice guy outside his persona. I know its anecdotal but still. | ||

The last two seasons were an anomaly with Bayern's dominance, but normally there is much more competition and that kind of expectation doesn't exist (Bayern is even losing right now!). | ||

Nice cherry picking you offered 10 years for the winner variation and 5 to show how close they were. Hows about you go the full 10 eh ? or how about the whole history since the PL started. ehhh ? And yeah that same stupid arguement PL teams so stronk its hard to be that good we just beat each other up. Thats probably true to a degree but only terms of squad depth. Peak performance is roughly the same if not worse. YOU said that it hasn't been close in any of the leagues i just said it wasn't. We were talking the last 6 season. I don't get your point? Stop being anti English every god damn time its getting boring. | ||

Stop being anti English every god damn time its getting boring. I don't think the BPL is much different from La Liga at all; I think the main difference is that a lot of people have the perception that the BPL is more arrogant because of it's incredibly wide reach and the ridiculous amount of money it commands, so people like to try to tear it down when it becomes boring (people like to hate on the top dog), whereas we just expect this kind of stuff from La Liga. Bayern equalizes with Augsburg. | ||

All signs point to at least one trophy this year... :D | ||
