The Decline of the EPL

you can probably ad a few Europa teams to that list whoever is playing in it

The more money they spend, the worse it gets. You see some awful players getting silly money, kids thinking they are stars at 17 and fading,others not getting a chance and getting disillusioned. The EPL isn't really a football league, it is a soap opera or reality tv.

The pace of the Premier League has gotten too slow. Back in its pomp of around 5 years ago, the European teams just couldn't handle the PL teams intensity.

Now a days the PL teams are to obsessed with keeping possession. Counter attacks have become nullified after a few seconds with players just trying to keep the ball rather than make a forward pass.

I am slowly loosing interest in the EPL . Over the last 3 years the standard has dropped and the money involved is frightening . Paying 3 different channels on Sky to watch games live is only feeding the machine . I haven't traveled to the Uk for a game in nearly 3 years now and I can't say I'm in too much of a hurry to get back over . I am putting more effort into following the national team . I never followed the league of Ireland and it's great to see lads here who have a genuine passion for their team and follow them around the country . Well done lads

BATE have more points than the epl sides combined in the champs league this year.....

In saying that about Chelsea, even though it's effectively a 3 team group, they look a broken side and having to play Kiev away next is very interesting. Kiev could smell blood in that one.
