La Liga claims to be the best league in the world, BUT....

[chuck bass]

yeah, r madrid lost 2-6 AT HOME, they are not on the same level as valencia, chelsea, and arsenal

name one player from roma who would go straight into chelsea, arsenal or valencia's starting lineup

doni for almunia doesn't count. ANY goalkeeper in the world is capable of taking almunia's place

[EKBATAN]

Not always, sometimes it's a 0-0, 1-1, or even 2-2 with a PK or the big team losing a man or two due to ejection. Happens more in Serie A than EPL for sure.

seems pretty even (with the exception of barca and chelsea)

interesting stat about la liga this year;

valencia 3rd place is 20 points behind the top
mallorca in 4th place is closer to relegation than top of the table

De Rossi
world's second best DM after Essien

world class player

Riise will also get into Valencia's line up. Valencia's defense is shite

[chuck bass]

oh shit i forgot about de rossi lol, but still one player doesn't change anything

the fact that you still think that doni is our #1 GK shows that you dont know shit about roma or italian football. julio sergio has been roma's #1 goalie since week 3 and i bet this is the first time you are hearing about him.

jaun,mexes,deressi,pizarro,totti,vucinic can easily get into chelsea stating 11 and many others would be good squad players.
and you saying only derossi can get into arsenal and valencia team from the roma squad? that is just shocking to hear even from someone that doesnt know much.

I used to love Serie A, but it's a ****ing sh*t hole nowadays. The mafia clearly has a strong grasp of the league. If you watched the Chievo vs. Parma game last week you'd see how obvious it was that they were playing for a draw, not only that but 95% of the bets on betfair were on a draw (close to half a million dollars). There are news articles about this all the time questioning the Chievo and other Italian bosses, but the truth is the league can't do anything about it.

Stay tuned for the next fixed game: Catania v Palermo.

Also Mourinho talking to press before the CSKA game said how much he hates the league and he obviously plans to leave soon. He loves Inter, but he's been f'ed by the referees and the politics of the league for a long time.

can we stick to the topic here??

how does every thread turn into serie A bashing?
whats funny is most of u who bash dont even watch the games, so how can u fairly judge it?

mourinho is a whinning prick, he complains everytime his team gets a call and most of the time its a fair call, he's over dramatic as we all know from his past.

about the catania-palermo game, catania just whooped mourinho 2 weeks ago 3-1 fair and square and thats a 2nd half of the table team
Palermo is in 4th CL spot with a SICK ASS striker MICCOLLI who scores messi-like goals (watch this past weekend and other weekends for examples) but he is left out the national team for politics and lippi not liking him, etc...

overall, yes serie A is not what it used to be cuz of many reasons, the scandals of 2006 obviously had a huge impact, the boycotting of fans and not enough money being spent, so obviously the league is going thru bad times.

Looking at the failure to score ratio is only one aspect for comparison. Some teams have one to five chances to score in one game, and some teams have 35-40 chances to score- teams like Barca and Chelsea who have a near-perfect mid-field and forward line. Point distribution is an obvious factor. Home Wins vs. Away Wins, are also more obvious reference points.

If you want to say most evenly distributed competitive, professional league then it must be the Bundesliga of recent- top 5-6 teams are all in the race for title and Champion's League berths.

I like Vucinic and I think Cafu was the difference maker in the old squad (and of course Batigol and young Totti).

[soheil86]

this is the second time you have changed the subject.
first you said roma are a lower level because of one result. which was so idiotic and you were proved wrong.
then you said only one player from roma would get into chelsea,valenica team, i proved you wrong.
now you compare pizzaro to pablo(who?) hernandez? please. you are an ignorant idiot though and idiots will never understand anything. so go watch a zlatan tap-in and be happy.

this same zlatan that cant do shit in la-liga was running serie-A.

this same zlatan that cant do shit in la-liga was running serie-A.

thats his own fault for not being able to score empty goals
every game he gets an average of 3 empty nets and he ruins it, even today against arsenal, first half he already missed a few

[EKBATAN]
