The latest round of pigs at a trough-thoughts

Its a disgrace, the clubs should be made to put a certain percentage towards smaller clubs in the lower leagues,

Plus be made to have so many local or should I say british youngsters on their books,

As to the question is the premershit better than what we had before,

Are Di Maria, Van Persie and Rooney better than Charlton, Best and Law ?

If it meant England would have a stronger team I would let all the money grabbers go and play in Spain or Italy,

For the fans who want to watch these players,

I am sure Sky would still show them on prime time telly.

Their revenue has increased by a staggering 70% this bid, yet they still don't give the 5% to grass roots football that they proposed when the Premier League were looking for support to get going.

One has to ask where this extra revenue will be going apart from the extra prize money for the teams. Will they pay footballers even more than they do now?

Pretty certain it will end up in the pockets of players and agents

Oh great, the latest 'cool guy football' trend, the Bundesliga, is being argued for again. Unlike La Liga or the Premier League we already know who's won, in their cheap stadiums with conducted chants on megaphones, can't beat it.

How exactly are you judging their stadiums as cheap? Schalke, Dortmund, Bayern, Stuttgart, Hamburg and Monchengladback all have stadiums that are as good as any in the PL. We already knew this season in the PL that the winner would be City or Chelsea so it's no different to the Bundesliga who generally have Bayern, Dortmund (until this season) and one other who challenge for the title. La Liga has only had 3 different winners in the last 10 seasons which is less than the Bundesliga so that's another way your bizarre disliking of the Bundesliga falls down. As for the conducted chants, who cares if they're conducted?! At least there is an atmosphere! When did you last go to a PL game and experience a decent atmosphere or hear one on the tv? Even the managers and players complain these days about the lack of atmosphere at PL games ffs.

People like the Bundesliga because it produces football that is just as good as the supposed "best league in the world" but at an affordable price. They also produce far more home grown players than we do and reap the benefits of it internationally.

White hart lane on sat when Spurs beat the scum. Great atmosphere

Yeah good example. But that was a derby match and similar atmospheres are few and far between.

The only people who can regularly afford to go to Premier League games play polo on Sundays. This type of person has a mouth full of caviar and unlike us plebs don't speak -let alone chant - with food in their mouths.

You almost completed Bundesliga bingo! How adorable! I don't go to Premier League games or watch many of them, unlike the obsessives on here. I prefer La Liga because the plays better and there's more competitive teams all the way up (the Europa League and Champions League winners from last year for example), but maybe I'd rather watch Freiburg on TV so I can be cool and watch their cheerleaders holding up pretty placards!

If that is true how can you say La Liga is better.?
