Mark Connolly Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The editing someone's post thing really is the sign of a beaten man. He didn't edit it, he just quoted it but not in the same words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Er, final places in the group is much more important than head to heard record. Obviously It's like some diddy team saying they are better than the Champions because they beat them twice, even if they finished 20th and got relegated. It's footballing knowledge 101 and there is no excuse for getting it wrong - League Position > Head to Head. Wouldn't matter if he did or didn't. There are plenty of English teams who have not taken the competition seriously in the past - look at Spurs / Man Utd etc. With ignoring the points and attacking the poster. All it shows is that you have nothing worthwhile to contribute, but want to wade in anyway. Uhm, as a barometer for how they have performed this season it is the only information we have. And as we are comparing them this season it's actually the perfect barometer for the purposes it is being used for. It appears you're wading back out with the rest of your post. Good luck, you didn't really say much, but you at least wasted a few minutes of my time. A successful contribution, of sorts. Pretty sure I was never in the argument about league comparisons. Perhaps you imagined something else or got a bit mixed up with your nonsensical "you nearly got away with it" patter. Just as everyone, myself included, pointed and laughed at Mastermind's weaksauce pish a few pages back, now I'm pointing and laughing at how you've fallen apart dramatically in the subsequent exchanges. Try your best to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supras Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Try your best to deal with it. I'm bawling my eyes out here. Now, if you're not contributing to the debate, please toddle off. If anyone does want to challenge my very specific evidence as to exactly why the Bundesliga has done better than the EPL in this years group stage - please, give it your very best shot.

If anyone does want to challenge my very specific evidence as to exactly why the Bundesliga has done better than the EPL in this years group stage - please, give it your very best shot. I don't think anyone else was arguing about the six games of this year's CL. Seems to me the argument was about the strengths of Europe's top leagues and as ever, you've sidetracked it onto some something else so you can argue with yourself. And aye, if it gets on to a standard pointless debate about something completely subjective, I will toddle off. If any embarrassing but highly entertaining meltdowns continue/materialise, I'll stick around and enjoy it. As stated above, deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochas III Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Good to see HB remembered there was a Champions League thread. Arguing over what league is better Last time I checked the Champions League was a team competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Good to see HB remembered there was a Champions League thread.

The Champions League is the best of the Leagues - 16 of the teams made it to the CL knockout stages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 The "what's the best league" argument is, of course, completely fucking pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 If Germanys remaining contingent get knocked out in the last 16 and Englands all go through does that mean the EPL is better again? Or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 English teams have the better of German teams head to head at the group stages so surely this is specific enough evidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Joseph Stalin Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Coefficient points for 14/15 so far: Spain 9.500 England 9.00 Germany 8.714 Italy 9.166 Just gonna leave that there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtuggie Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Got away with what? And aye, I do disagree with using the group stage of competitions as a barometer for anything. It's pretty desperate stuff. Not that I'm particularly bothered about these completely unprovable arguments about which leagues are better than others. Quite clearly the top team/s in Germany and Spain are better than anything in England but the likes of Schalke and Leverkeusen are miles off the best of the rests in England; with Italian football not even in the running anymore. How any of these truths stack up using carefully selected criteria to decide arguments about the overall quality of leagues, well I really don't care. I don't have a horse in this race, my observation was purely on how this thread is going. Do yourself a favour and quite while you're behind. Spot on. Bayern better than anyone in England, but the remainder of the league in Germany has less quality than England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I still think Chelsea could reach the semi/final, so I wouldn't write the EPL off just yet. In terms of depth though, they've been poor. Even when the people declaring the EPL to be the best in the world had a point it wasn't as if there was a dramatic huge gap and now they're, by common agreement, no longer on top it's not as if they've slipped miles behind.

BradHorse Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 My name appears to have been cited a few times in regards to this 'destruction' of Supras in another thread or something. Just be frank, I honestly don't care. The word 'destruction' should never be used in the context of one poster responding to another on P&B. It's a fucking forum, on the internet. Fucking hell.
