Premier League? You're Havin' a Laugh

[SAFCmal]

Watching our game today, where a team builds it's games around one player having the freakish ability to throw the ball into the box and all of his pals charging onto it in a formation reminiscent of the Ant-Hill Mob from Whacky Races, then watching MOTD can we honestly claim that the Premier League is the best in he world?

For me the scorelines and tactics suggest somewhere between the Scottish Second Division and the Peterlee and District sunday League.

Our media love to boast we have "the best league in the world" Talksport's Stan Collymore was shouting about it this evening ...the reality is we don't - Spain's La Liga is the best quality surely (?)

..But The Premiership is undoubtably the most exciting league in the world!

But then again we did knock the ball about well and do have quality players.

The difference in styles and the different challenges presented to every team every week is exactly why the Premier League is the best league in the world. In Spain teams try to outdo Barca at their own game, here there just about every team has their own way of playing regardless of the opposition.

while i cannot disagree with any of that, the real culprits today were the officials, in any game at any time you will be unlucky to have one major decision go against you, today i could point to four or five at least, plus countless 'minor' ones.
shocking.

They were... but, like Delap, it's all he has. Bardsley had the better of him all afternoon.

I'm sure one of his free kicks (though good) shouldn't have been given. Stoke committed the offence and then got a free kick?
