Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) The EPL argument is laughable. It goes in cycles between Europes 3-5 country elite. At the moment Italian clubs are shocking yet watch Juventus and Inter be up there in 3 years time.... They had this debate on Talksport last night, if there was a top 10 Euro Elite league who would the 10 teams be....good debate. Id say Bayern, Dortmund, AC Milan, Inter, Barca, Real M, Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Ajax....based on last 10 years. People always say the cycles thing but Inter apart, Italian teams have been atrocious in Europe ever since the corruption scandal. Bayern are always consistent, the Spanish teams have been consistent for a while and the Premiership for a few years had success but that was it. The top teams in the CL are Bayern, Real and Barca. Then teams like Atletico, Chelsea, PSG and Dortmund make up the next level. I don't see that changing any time soon. The lack of competition isn't helping them, they're not at Bayern's level and are still a side in transition. PS - Ajax one of the best teams in the last 10 years? Can't remember the last time they got past the group stage. Edited March 12, 2015 by Ser Barristan Selmy 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJax should be nowhere near the top 10 as they have done nothing in Europe in years. They also have a pretty crap team at the moment mostly made up of very young players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I wouldn't put the name of Arsenal alongside 'Europe's Elite' they are like the Dundee United of Scottish fitba' - total wannabe's. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 10 team Euro elite league would be like the SPL, not enough, you would need 2 leagues of 12. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Chelsea win the 2 games in hand and that's an 11 point lead. The title is over and it has been effortless. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Im glad I backed Chelsea to win the league at the start of the season. Man city though, what a disgrace. Arsenal are only a point behind them and id back Arsenal to finish 2nd now. Man utd v Spurs today should be a belter. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearman 9 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Man City look very disjointed and uninterested all of a sudden, is there a fall-out among the players? Looks like it. Barca will put 5 past them I think. Man U looked good today and showed signs of finally getting it right, but that Spurs side simply didn't turn up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
