I know what you mean but really LOL

Stoke in the last 32 of UEFA cup and I would give all 12 SPL teams a go at winning at the Britania I would expct none to win

**frazeHFC** · 26-12-2011 08:40 PM

It's really, really poor. Soon the LOI will be better!

**~~Hibernia Na Eir~~** · 26-12-2011 08:41 PM

most overrated product on earth!

**Sir David Gray** · 26-12-2011 08:42 PM

Absolute garbage.

I'd expect them to win to but the general quality wasn't good!

If a player with no right foot can go down there and have a better goals to game ratio than he did in the SPL, it shows how awful their quality of football must be.

Yeah your right

Fletch has not worked hard and improved, infact he has got worse.

Yes I am being sarcastic P.S. Fletch has scored a few with his right foot in England did you miss that ?

**Gatecrasher** · 26-12-2011 08:55 PM

stopped watching it ages ago, enjoying the SPL much more now

**TheMentalHibees** · 26-12-2011 08:58 PM

Astounded that out of all the games on today, this was the EPL game they chose for live broadcast. Absolutely rotten.

***Ringothedog*** · 26-12-2011 09:01 PM

The bottom line is if we were given approx £40m tv money a year from sky we could be as "crap" as teams like Stoke. It would probably take at least 10 years to reach that level as currently we are at the effin dreadful level.

***NORTHERNHIBBY*** · 26-12-2011 09:46 PM

I am no really sure that it should be called the EPL. More sense to call it the PL as played in England. it is like staging the Tattoo up at the castle. The infrastructure was already there so SKY piled in and now they have absent owners with teams as play things for the mega rich. The franchise idea is surely the next step. The real level of English football is their Division One.

Have you not noticed that every post in here is sarcastic? I was implying that people moaned for him having no right foot, but then actually he has done amazing down South.

It's all in the packaging of the product. They way they do they can make ******* seem like best Beluga caviar.

**~~Hibercelona~~** · 27-12-2011 01:11 AM

If their *****, where does that rank us?

Whats the point laughing at a league thats still infinite times better than our own?

**Septimus** · 27-12-2011 05:57 AM

The one thing that you can say for the EPL is that the players who ply their trade in look as though they are fit. Very few games peter out at the 70 minute stage when most SPL players are done.

**steakbake** · 27-12-2011 08:23 AM

You have to be joking? Okay it's not deserving of all the money and accolades it awards itself but it's still light years ahead of the SPL.

A very underrated league is the Dutch eredevisie. Some of the games I've seen this year have been outstanding.

**Lucius Apuleius** · 27-12-2011 08:26 AM

Light years ahead of the SPL but only because of the finances. It too will crumbling down. Hate to mention them but it is looking ever more likely its is going to end up with their own OF in the Manc teams.

***bingo70*** · 27-12-2011 08:43 AM

Other than the big games with the Manchester club, chelsea, spurs and arsenal I've got no interest in watching any of it, seriously over rated stuff and too much money in it so majority of games I have watched has been teams trying not to get beat rather than trying to win it as they've too much to lose by getting beat.

Of course they're light years ahead of us though, as well as the money they've got a population ten times the size of ours, doesn't mean we have to beat our league up as much as we do though just cos it isnt as good as the epl

maybe, but still 100% better than the dross up here

**Cabbage East** · 27-12-2011 09:23 AM

Massively overrated league hugely talked up and very cleverly marketed. Whereas here we talk down every aspect of our game.

Sky / EPL has packaged it well over last few years....you only have to see the big gaps appearing in EPL stadia to know its not all its cracked up to be

Exactly. Decent crowds back this up. If say Newcastle are playing Chelsea live on SKY what does it say that Newcastle will still take a huge away support?

The SPL is dying and clubs haven't a clue what to do up here.

I swap between SPL at ER and EPL at SJP on a weekly basis.

It costs me roughly the same to attend each game.

EPL might well be over-rated but I know which is better to watch .. and by a country mile.

Bang on the money Stevie.. I have a Man City ticket for NYD against Sunderland..

The price of my ticket is £29...

**TheEastTerrace** · 27-12-2011 11:22 AM

Crap? One poor game between Stoke and Villa and suddenly it's crap? Jesus. Not every team can play like Barcelona.

If the Premier League in England is crap, unfortunately the swear filter won't allow me to post what I think the SPL is.

Some games at SJP are only £20.

My family season ticket at ER would actually be cheaper at SJP, although I opted for a better area at SJP and it costs about £5 a game more in comparison. One incentive for renewal is that my SJP season ticket cost is fixed for the next 10 years.

A Scotsman calling the EPL **** is like a midget calling an average sized person small.

I envy you.... at least every second week you will see a half decent game. Good on you for persisting with our tosh up here.
