anothersaintinsouthsea Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 When people refer to a sport, a passion and a love as a product you know its all gone to ****, purists over plastics. I don't disagree but in terms of the original question: We have shown to be the best at packaging football and selling it around the world.

Style over substance then? La Liga or Bundesliga for quality, us for a **** atmosphere and plastic flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 Yes, and why are they people so that people thousands of miles away can watch it? Ignore the semantics and whether "spectacle" is exactly the right word - The Premier League is a massively successful product. I think the product's popularity is alot to do with the history and tradition of England being the home of football. The Premier League doesn't attract the best players, or have the best atmosphere. It's definitely a more exciting league than the Spanish or Italian, not sure about German though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its living off the days when it actually was exciting when the standard was even pooer but more had British players and when we had terracing? Great that isn't it?

Great that isn't it? English teams were often the best in Europe during the 70's and 80's before the Premier League was formed. I think the league was way more exciting before Sky ruined it.

Whitey Grandad Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 Maybe fish and chips together, but the best chips in the World come from Belgium. The best chips are fried in beef dripping. Does anybody know of anywhere that still uses it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjwills Posted 28 June, 2013 Share Posted 28 June, 2013 Chips from Harry Ramsden's are meant to be cooked in beef dripping or you can buy the oven chips from Marks & Spencer that have beef dripping with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 29 June, 2013 Share Posted 29 June, 2013 Strut around tut tutting the rest of the world for being corrupt & immoral. And then break Compliance Laws, Forge Interest Rates, help to ruin the global financial system, gain favour by an old school tie dodgy handshake system, earn millions for making a piece of paper seem like wealth that then gets chucked in a bin after you have ripped off a million pound bonus cheque to spend on Coke. Yep easily the most corrupt nation in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
