Roll up, roll up, roll up for the start of yet another boring season in the English Premiership. We tend to think that the Premiership is the best league in the world, but if you want to watch real football, it isn’t.
I reckon the best top leagues in the world (not necessarily in any order) are in:
- Italy
- Spain
- Portugal
- Germany
- France
- Holland
I would rate the Premiership below the leagues in those countries. The football played is far, far better than in England…. and it’s good that many of their players also choose to play in the Premiership. Can you spot an English footballer playing abroad other than David Beckham (he plays Major League Soccer in the United States, which isn’t a proper league anyway)? Send in a comment, please…because I can’t think of anyone at the moment…
Here are some questions:
- Will Big Phil Scolari make the grade at Chelski?
- Can another team end the Big Four’s boring domination?
- Will Alan Curbishley or Kevin Keegan get the sack?
- Can Liverpool finally land the title?
- Can the promoted sides (particularly Hull City) survive?
- Will Gareth Barry get his move from Aston Villa?
- Will Sky’s Andy Gray ever shut up?
These (stupid) questions, and many more, will be answered over the next nine months. Have a great season.
