Quote from: OCD on September 18, 2014, 02:46:16 PMI always thought the argument for the Premier League being the best in the world was because most games are competitive. Most games are near capacity and even a side fighting to survive can beat one of the top sides. Whereas somewhere like Spain for example, Barca and Real walk over most teams in most games and only a handful of teams can attract a respectable crowd size.People get hung up on their definition of 'best' thinking it means best quality.To me it means best to watch, which the PL obviously is, as evidenced by its world-wide TV revenue.

Unless of course because more people watch and listen to U2 it means they are better than the much less watched and listened to Paul Weller. *winky*
Europa League is the sort of thing both Everton and Spurs should target winning. Both are still some way off being top four IMO, but this is a realistically trophy they can get in the bag.

More competitive and entrrtaining trumps better technique for me and, overwhelmingly, football watchers around the world.

I think the Championship is as competitive a league as I can think of. As a betting man I have found that to my cost. It is also in the top five or six leagues in Europe for attendances isn't it?
QPR 1-1 StokeDiouf early in the game for Stoke, Caulker or maybe even an OG just before HT
