Napoli V Chelsea

This result proves that Italian and Spainish football teams are superior to their English counterparts. l

The results certainly don't, at the moment.

Thats funny,its the foreign players that keep messing up at Chelsea.But then again british footballers have more
backbone then their foreign counterparts.With Lampard and Terry missing it took the core out of the team.
Chicken,brit bashing again.Apart from the top 2 in Spain,the rest are ordinary.premier league still the most competitive and
watched domestic league in world football

It wouldn't surprise me if Napoli go all the way to the final, that is if they can avoid Barcalona...()

you guys are missing my point, the premier league would be mediocre IF you took away all the foreign players, has nothing to do with the Napoli vs Chelsea result last night... And Dave I agree with you, apart from the top 2 teams in La Liga, the league is not that great...

i still maintain that english premiere league is best in the world.unlike spanish league(2 team league) and italian league(pedestrian pace,2defensive,unattractive) every team has a chance of winning and upsetting the top teams.football is exciting,fast paced and well supported by the fans.in last 10 yrs an english side has been in every semi final of champions league except this 1 because utd are in a transition phase, chelsea are below par,arsenal just not good enough and city were in a tough group and inexperienced at champions league.no doubt english teams esp utd will be back next season to fly the flag.

1996 the last time no EPL sides into the quarters(still slim chance for chelsea).. looks like the EPL has gone backwards..

Look at last years champions we all know that it was teamwork and the genius of fergie that got them accross the line..

GB,all the big leagues in europe have foreign players.It easy to move around europe.

spot on abt fergie and last year with a poor team he got to final.sadly this years team is even worse but hey we still in running for title 20.we need to buy a quality midfield general but maybe we dont hv the money to buy, so we make do with wat we got and fight for the league with our master manager who has brought so much success to man utd over the years.he surely must be the best manager of all time.

Real Madrid have a squad with spanish,portuguese,brazilian,french,german,argentinian and a turk.
Is this team not full of foreigners.Is this why they are top of la liga..I dont see too many people
carping on about la liga being full of foreigners.

Being the most watched and most widely followed league in the world proves absolutely nothing in terms of the quality on offer.
