EPL sucks, its a C- grade league compared to La Liga. Real Madrid and Barca rule World Football and that is something u pommie losers cant take. These 2 superclubs combined have more trophies than all 20 teams in EPL combined. Even Ronaldo said it, La Liga is superior.. no wonder our Spanish National Team thrash your Wembley wannbies everytime !! haha !! Real just took the best player from England, France and Italian league.. you losers can just watch and wonder..

As a La Liga fan, I am delighted to have top notch players in the league. However, I’m not sure if such an investment in time of crisis could pay itself by merchandise and tv rights alone. We’ll have to wait and see, but if they collapse, a lot of Real Madrid “socios” are up for a big meltdown. By the way, whoever says that the Spanish government is paying for Real Madrid players should include a link to support that claim, especially considering that the president Zapatero is an avid Barça fan.
At any rate, next year presents itself as enticing as ever with the show down between Barça and Madrid; ESPN broadcasting La Liga games will be another incentive …

Ribery (sought by Arsenal)—- Only person who thought up this Transfer was some journalist in the UK … Arsenal would not splash the Cash on Ribery — ever.. I know he is French and all, would fit in perfect, but Arsene would never be given that much cash for one player…. Even if Adebayor was sold for 25 million — we would not go for scare face.

Also I must add there’s only 2 clubs I hate in world football.. well 1. the other are just a bit foolish.

Real Madrid and Arsenal..

Arsenal is mainly due to their stupid philosophy they’ve adapted, and if i were an Arsenal fan i’d be pissed off to the max. why sell all your english players, make the first language of the team french, sell big name players and use youngsters. you’ll never win a thing, everyone knew that and how right they were. Liverpool annoy me too with their only buy spanish players policy.

Chelsea have always gone after English players with the best of Europe.

but i really depise Real. its officially the biggest graveyard in football!!
they change their managers and players all the time, its a joke. and chelsea and man city are in danger of being copycats.
apparently they want to sell all their dutchmen. yet Huntelaar was awesome last season and has only been there 6 months, Sneijder and Robben were really good too!
yet apparently they’re all for sale, if i was Roman/Carlo i’d sign all 3 for Chelsea, Robben should have never been sold and the other 2 are awesome.

I much prefer Barcelona, and have done for years. Barca to win the league again! and Chelsea for premier league.. champs league is mostly down to luck. always someone gets lucky in one game along the way.

Porto vs MU (offside goal i think), L’pool vs Chelsea (garcia’s not a goal) THEN Milan (lucky comeback, penalties), Man U vs Chelsea (chelsea hit bar twice, penalties), Barca vs Chelsea (4 penalty appeals turned down)

just cos Im a chelsea fan i’m not feeling hard done by, but uefa do seem to hate chelsea? maybe its the money in english football thing :p or Roman is cursed.

Real Madrid spend money they will get back through merchandising
Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo and Beckham made them loads of money.
Kaka’, C.Ronaldo, Benzema and they’re hoping Ribery will do the same.

English clubs such and Man U/Man C & Chelsea need to spend the money they have at ridiculously high prices if the players you want are to come join you and make you a bigger club.

every time MU get there, their big players leave for Real. first Beckham, now Ronaldo.. tbh if i was at United i’d retire the no. 7!

Chelsea were supposed to become a world dominating team, and me as a chelsea fan am highly disappointed in how crap the team can be. since Mourinho left the team hasn’t been the same, and the total lack of high profile signings joining the Premier league is due to the fall of the pound against the euro, players will simply earn more in Spain. AND transfer fees of say about €94m (£80m) would have been about a year ago £70m. so for Euro clubs to earn money from sales, its going to cost the English clubs more.

If i was Abramovich, i’d spend ridiculous money on players i know would be good. £60m for a player is cheap now thanks to Real.

but i doubt chelsea will get anyone big this summer tbh, they might win the league as man utd are a little weakened without Ronaldo and Tevez, but the champions league is between Barca and Real for a few years to come til Roman spends his cash big.
