Come on, admit it. Bashing Mourinho is much more fun than bashing Wenger or Ferguson. What would you do without him?
MU are on freakin' fire. For how long will they keep it up? Let's hope so, this year's Premiership is much more interesting than the previous one.
Yes, The Prem (at the top) is more interesting, especially after Sundays results.

Which brings us to a very interesting subject: Which one is the
best football league of the world quality-wise, show-wise and
cash-wise.
Spain's La Liga or the Premier? I say Spanish league is the best of
the world in terms of teams, players and overall quality 😉
Ok, bash me now, anglophiles 😀
I used to think that way, but the recent years I think the Spanish league has fallen somewhat, in spite of Barcelona.
Real hasn't been what it used to be and even Valencia isn't at its brightest. English clubs seem to have been doing better (on average) in Europe and only Barcelona inverts that trend somewhat. The recent Chelsea - Barcelona matches proved that there's not much between these two teams so if we remove these two teams, I think we can see clearly that the Premiership has the upper hand.

Sevilla, for example.
Overall, I think Spain's lousiest team goes over in show and players
over the Premier's lousiest. Certainly I wouldn't bet on Madrid,
Valencia or even Barca to play against United, Arsenal or Chelsea.
Not right now. But in a pair up of all the teams I would.

Originally posted by RagnorakI think bad sportsmanship is inherent in the game of football nowadays, unfortunately. Just look at Rijkaard spitting his dummy out last Tuesday, and the amateur dramatics from both sets of players in the same game, Argentina emptying the pram after being knocked out of the world cup and Alex Ferguson having yet another excuse for an unimpressive dull game on Wednesday (bad quality pitch).
Why are Arsenal and Chelsea such bad sports, both playing and managing staff included?

When you compare this to the great sporting behaviour shown in just about every other sport at the top level, footballers and football managers have a
lot to learn.
