Don be silly mates..

what about MILAN leading 3-0..@ the 1st half ..then lost the CL final to KOPS?
are they brainless? or ... ??

Think properly before you comment..
It's just different leagues suit different taste of peoples..

You telling me Malaysians are born to like the EPL? Cause it sure is hard to find a non-EPL fan around here. It's just the media brainwashing you guys.

i got no comment on which league is better,but im sure u didnt read his comment at all,he said



and what for u quote and reply with a misleading post?

Well thats too bad.

Most of us here support the club they FIRST see and like alot.
And since the media highlights EPL clubs more then anything , it is natural that if a person see the club he likes first , he would most likely stick to that club regardless of what he sees after.

Glory hunters are uniquely excluded as they dont deserve to be called football fans.

Why some ppl hate EPL ? IMO , they just cant stand that some EPL clubs get more hype then their club from other league , hence the dislike.
(incoming flame expected)

Brother, did u read those posts earlier?
and i never said Malaysians are born to like EPL..
Their comments are truly unaccepted and bear no connotations.

Why don't you ask those people why is the epl getting more hype then clubs from other leagues instead?? The fact is epl,if i'm not wrong, has the most spectators among other leagues. Language is an important reason as well(has been pointed out countless times). This is how they make money. By promoting the most watched league in the world. Even Tourism Malaysia and Air Asia became sponsors for Man Utd. Reason?

If whatever you stated above is the reason why ppl hate epl, then you shd hate the media instead. It's business my friend. This is very normal. EPL is just like a gold mine for them.

It's arguable which is the better league but the EPL is certainly the most popular. We don't always have to support the best league, just like we don't all support the best teams. If you want to lend support to the best league, look to South America. I just watched a game between Boca Juniors and (can't remember who) and the atmosphere was electric, so was the game. In recent years, Europe's best have come up against Brazilian opposition in the finals of the FIFA World Club Cup, and have been found wanting. Liverpool were beaten by Sao Paulo in 2005 while Barcelona was beaten by Internacional in 2006. That's twice in 2 years Europe's best teams were beaten by South America's best.

People support the EPL because it's the most popular, not because it's the best.

for me the reason is EPL is too tactical...then focus more on the tactical not on the beauty of football..we as the supporters would like to see skills,nice movement and creative game play...but in EPL all those things is very hard to see...that's my opinion..

is it? but most of player who "established" abroad, cannot adapt to the Premiership..
let say, Sheva (Serie A), Ballack (Bundesliga), and Carew (i wondder why Villa didn't make him play - his damn good at Lyon)..
simple to say - EPL gives better challenges, harder and faster

and one more thing - EPL live matches aired from 7pm - 1am and sometimes 3am if mid-week matches..

La-Liga and others - kind of hard because its too damn late..got to work etc..

I'm not a pro-EPL..but just an opinion from football lover who watch every football game he could even our own Malaysian League

But you aren't looking at the number of players that have adapted. Just because they can't adapt to the EPL doesn't mean it's a better league, it just means it's a different league.

yeah..but mostly young players..like arjen, cristiano, tevez, martins, maccarthy and lots of gunners youngsters hehe
and notice what, most brazillian cannot play in EPL - seriously because of the language and also they afraid gonna patah kaki if joga bonito too much.
EPL's tackle are the most dangerous i've seen compared to others

i've respect la liga,serie A, and bundesliga in terms of refereeing.
the referee are really protecting the player including goal-keeper..even small amount of pulling the shirt they will blow the whistle
even the player cannot involve in ref decision..
that's why you can see why in EPL, player always surround the ref, makes him difficult to make decision and keeper got injured on the head or anywhere..no protection from the ref at all
that's EPL

That's one thing I like about the EPL, bone crunching tackles! This is a game for men, not fairies! I've always liked the physical element of the EPL. So what if the players are less graceful, this isn't freaking ballet.

now we're talking..
there are certain things which are good and bad about one league
it's just up to us to justify..
you're a Kopfan are'nt u?
well, sori for the lost (Champs League)
i've felt the same last season

No worries mate, I'm a pretty patient bloke when it comes to my club. I've been waiting 17 years for a league titles, what's waiting another couple of years for the Champions League?

pure tasteless ppl...i mean those dun prefer

Yup, well said. If only all EPL fans would acknowledge that fact.

Er hello ....

Have you even heard people threatening to injure other players just because he do skill in EPL ?

Well , i've heard countless of this in Brazil where the football is suppose to be exciting

what i mean is they can't dribble as much as they like..
no space to dribble, EPL tackles fast..not that i say there is none..
i.e: Okocha, Cristiano, Thierry "the king" Henry etc..
they dribb sometimes..and some of it was most beautiful ever..

i know what u mean by the incident in Brazil, its been a riot because the player Ole! each other..the fans also fighting among themselves..

sori for not specific the idea..hopefully i dont get wronged again

Please stay on topic guys/gals. This is not about what is the best league. If you don't have anything to say why you like or dislike EPL, stay away from the topic or you might have to open a new thread for a new different topic. And please no more spamming - by posting one line statements such as EPL sucks, EPL boring etc.

No doubt about that. No thanks to the media exposure, extensive coverage, etc.

And with that come sponsors, and more coverage....vicious cycle that.

But really appreciate the fact that one pay-tv channel in Malaysia took the initiative and got rights to Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga as well, really helped those leagues to grow albeit not in tandem with the EPL. at least more and more fans are exposed to different leagues, and not just limited to one.
