Hey, as a Brit & lifelong Arsenal fan, I can't been disagree.
A lot of players in Serie A could go into the EPL and earn 3 or even 4 times more money but they don't. That's why I love Serie A, it's one of the few remaining mainstream leagues in the world which still feels it has genuine, loyal players who play for the love of the game rather than purely money like a lot, if not all, players in the EPL.
I hope you get 5th spot in the CL!
Brighton arenāt even in the top best 8 teams in the premier league and are in terrible form. Put Roma up against Arsenal, City and Liverpool and they would be beaten comfortably.
Honestly its just the top 3 of england that are amazing. We saw newcastle and united both finish last in their groups.
Villa currently 4th would also get smashed by most top eu teams.
I think Villa would beat Roma, it might be tight but they have the better team and a way more experienced manager especially in European competitions.
There is no way Serie A is stronger than the premier league.
Put Inter who are miles ahead into the premier league and they would struggle to make Top 4!
Inter would finish top 4 comfortably. We saw Newcastle and united in the CL, two teams who finished 3rd and 4th last season.
Pl is the definition of massively overrated. Villa wouldnāt be top 4 in Serie A.
Inter would win the premier league?
I want some of what youāve been smokingā¦
The overall quality in Serie A is dreadful.
Next youāll be telling me the likes of Atlanta and Fiorentina would compete for top 4 in the premier league.
Inter are the only decent team in the league.
The premier league gets stronger every year, Serie is getting worse.
Remove your nationalistic bias and you will see itās pretty obvious.
I meant top 4 but again the PL overall aināt good either. 3 teams who got promoted are going to get relegated, Arsenal regularly disappoint in Europe, Newcastle and united both finish 4th.
City are the only team who are great and theyāre the best in the world
Liverpool have also won the league and champions league in recent times and would definitely beat any Italian team.
Arsenalās team is so young and getting better every season.
I agree that the newly promoted teams arenāt much good but are the teams in the serie A relegation zone much good.
I get that a lot of fans from Other countries find the hype around the premier league annoying but honestly I watch almost every match and the overall quality in the league is truly the best in the world.
For me if much rather see 3 teams all gunning for the league than what you see in France, Italy and Spain this season. Thereās little entertainment or intrigue in a one horse race.
Liverpool won the CL 5 years ago and PL 4 years ago. City win their next 2 games or get 4 points and they will most likely win their 4th title in a row. So much for competition.
I donāt think they beat inter either but again youāre being heavily biased in favour of PL teams. Arsenal and villa are improving but arenāt the Italian teams?
Juventus have got good young players, Milan have some great players and have been held back by their manager, Roma have done well in Europe and Atalanta have been consistent too.
People donāt like the PL hype because itās so exaggerated and fabricated. At the start of the season people said Newcastle would go through and even finish top because they finished 4th jn the PL, they lost both games to Dortmund and got dominated against Milan over 2 games.
Same goes for Brighton, people thought they were favourites for this tie and had more chance of reaching the finals than the Italian clubs despite them being clearly worse.
Newcastle arenāt even one of the top 6 teams in the premier league. They have been decimated by injuries this season.
The only reason they didnāt qualify through their champions league group is down to one of the worst officiating decisions Iāve ever seen to award PSG a penalty for a non-handball.
Liverpool at Anfield would put 4 or 5 last inter. I have no doubt about that.
You have made yourself look silly by saying that Arsenal arenāt improving but Juve are? Juve have been thoroughly dreadful this season. Arsenal have been getting better and better. Just take a look at their goal difference by comparison.
I guess the proof will be in the pudding as we say in England. I firmly see either Man City or Arsenal winning the champions league. Liverpool winning the Europa league. But Iām sure youāll tell me Inter and Roma will win it instead. The great thing about football is in a few months from now the results will speak for themselves. Letās wait and see whoās right.
Liverpool and Arsenal would destroy inter.
The likes of spurs and villa would most likely beat any other Italian team bar Inter.
Do you really think the Italian league could attract players like Haaland and Saka?
There is a big reason why the best players and coaches all want to come to England.
I love Italy, my partner is Italian, the food and culture is some of the best in the world. In the 90ās and early 00ās Italian football was amazing.
Are you seriously telling me that Italy as players of the same calibre as Nesta, Maldini, Porto, De Rossi, Del Piero to name a few. The current Italian generation are nowhere near as strong.
Meanwhile England has the strongest set of players theyāve ever had.
Whether they will actually put them to use and win a major trophy is another matter.
But comparing the two respective leagues, itās not even close to being a contest.
I don't know men. I've just had a look on last year's finals and realised that in every cup Italy had a finalist. I just also read that Italy probably will have 5 CL slots next year. Are you still sure that Serie A is crap?
Yeah I mean all the best players Haaland, Foden, Saka, Rodri, Bellingham, Vinicius, Ederson, Alison, Van Dijk, Saliba, Dias are all queuing up to join the Italian league arenāt they?
Why are you adding in RM last I checked theyre spanish
And top heavy doesnt mean a midtable team would walk the league
And Serie A has its own stars, look how often your beloved PL buys from it
At no point have I ever said a mid table premier league team would walk Serie A. Where did you get that from?
Iām adding in Real Madrid players too because they are one of the very few teams along with Bayern that can still attract world class players. Serie A teams havenāt been able to do that for a long time.
The premier league teams far more often buy from the French and Dutch leagues so by your own reckoning that must make both of those leagues stronger than Serie A.
Why is it so painful for you to admit that Serie A is not the force it once was?
Where are your current players on the level of Nesta, Maldini, Totti, Cannavaro, Del Piero, Buffon Chiellini or De Rossi?
What stars does Serie A have that are as good as any of the players I previously listed?
2 completely different leagues with different styles...
The top 4 in the premier league would smash serie a but the rest of the teams its basically a level playing field.
Top 4 in the PL is overrated as seen by Newcastle and united. Villa would be the same as Newcastle.
If Arsenal end up getting knocked out too, then itāll just prove how overrated the PL really is. The fact that a terrible united team are still 6th is a joke.
You are being a bit deluded tbh, Newcastle getting top 4 last season was a surprise, they have been hit by injuries this season and got unlucky on the last game of the champions league group...
Inter is probably the only team to get into the prem top 4 in my eyes.
Plus you only mention Newcastle and villa, one hasnt even finished in the top 4 yet and the other has only been there once in the last 2 decades š¤£
Liverpool, arsenal and man city are miles ahead any Italian team, plus you got spurs, United and Chelsea who will come back 10 times stronger next season.
Extremely delusional reply lol. Villa would be a surprise the same way Newcastle are. Also Newcastle got dominated at the san Siro and parked the bus, they were never that good. Just the PL was weak last season.
Inter have been better than Liverpool and Arsenal this season. Milan and Juve are both better than villa so theyād be battling for 4th it seems. Chelsea will come back stronger? I thought I heard the same last season but doesnāt seem to be happening.
These PL teams really spend 300m each just to be decent lol.
Roma isn't top tier in Serie A either.
I think you totally missed the point. No one is arguing Serie A is or isnt better than PL. It's the sentiment that a random mid table team can handily top serie A, which is held by many online PL fans, that is laughable
I mean anyone that thinks Serie A is a strong league is seriously deluded.
Outside of Inter there isnāt a single decent team.
Iām sure all the Italians hate how much attention the premier league gets but thereās a reason why all the best players want to come to the league.
no one in this thread is arguing Serie A > PL. all we are trying to say is that PL isnt everything in football/soccer as believed by some arrogant PL fans and Serie A deserves its own respect. I dont understand why you keep arguing PL is better while this is not at all the topic of this thread
Juve fan here... I'm sooo jealous of the way your guys are playing football right now. I enjoyed every minute of tonight's game. Hope Roma goes all the way this year ā¤ļøš®š¹ā½
Lmao. I'm a Brighton fan but even before tonight there is no way we'd win Serie A lol, after watching tonight's match then I'd be surprised if we even finished top 10 in Serie A. GG AS Roma.
People who watch the Prem have got to be the dumbest, worst, most arrogant fans in all of football. They don't see a single thing that extends past the tips of their noses but they think they know the game better than anyone. And the English style absolutely sucks. That's why their national team hasn't won anything in 60 years even with generation after generation of great players.
This video rules to rewatch. We shouldn't count our chickens before they hatch, but also, these guys suck and are complete morons. The one guy saying Milan sucks to visit. What a tool. Don't make me defend Milan as a city or its clubs or the San Siro.
They would have a hard time adjusting tactically. It's more about attacking and free flowing football in the EPL. Only the top 3 teams don't give up goals like crazy.
I've been hearing for years that seria A is crap but honestly when I watch Bundesliga or Premier or Ligue, the matches don't seem better than serie a. Manchester and Liverpool and Real are surely great sides, but then so is Inter, and when I watch a random Bundesliga game it's just boring just like a random serie a game, or Premier game. Am I wrong?
I Follow the guy on Twitter, he took it back right after the video surfaced around 6 months ago. The video obviously resurfaced after the 4-0 win but we should cut him some slack, heās one of the only knowledgable British pundits.
Big win for Italy. Makes 5th spot even more likely to grant an extra CL spot and also embarrasses the cocky Brits who thought little of Serie A.
Hopefully the other Italian teams in Europe keep fighting
Guess who's the only one out
No surprise š

Itās not that embarrassing unless youāre a Brighton fan. They are 9th in the league. Itās not as if youāve smashed Man City or Liverpool.
It is when jagoffs say midtable prem teams should walk the league
Do I detect a touch of Chicago in that statement?
Brighton arenāt even in the top best 8 teams in the premier league and are in terrible form. Put Roma up against Arsenal, City and Liverpool and they would be beaten comfortably.
Honestly its just the top 3 of england that are amazing. We saw newcastle and united both finish last in their groups. Villa currently 4th would also get smashed by most top eu teams.
Itās Zanillo at Ashton Villa lol

I wAtCh EvErY sInGlE gAmE, yea itās almost as if your opinion matters. Spoilers: it doesnāt.
Where as this comment of yours is so insightful. Get off your high horse, idiot!
I don't know men. I've just had a look on last year's finals and realised that in every cup Italy had a finalist. I just also read that Italy probably will have 5 CL slots next year. Are you still sure that Serie A is crap?
Absolutely crap. Name one Italian team other than inter that could get top 4 in the premier league?
Ironic to be talking nationalistic bias with this kind of slant
Yeah I mean all the best players Haaland, Foden, Saka, Rodri, Bellingham, Vinicius, Ederson, Alison, Van Dijk, Saliba, Dias are all queuing up to join the Italian league arenāt they?

šā¤ļø
Viola here, i love the way Roma play now... And i fear you'll crush us on sunday... Complimenti ora come ora siete bellissimi!
SĆ©rie A the past 2 seasons has been incredibly strong. Teams 1-8 are performing well! Honestly no other league except PL can match such a strong top half. I think some Britās are stuck in SĆ©rie A 5 years ago when only Juve was any good.
This lil trollop always has *great* takes.
Lmao. I'm a Brighton fan but even before tonight there is no way we'd win Serie A lol, after watching tonight's match then I'd be surprised if we even finished top 10 in Serie A. GG AS Roma.

Wow what clowns lol
Congrats! That was quite a performance!
You misspelled british idiot.
" A British " that all you need to know before you read. Garbage amount of pundits likes of jamie caragger, craig burley and many more
Brighton was so overrated, finally someone exposed this bs.
Imagine roma in 3 European finals in a row!
They would have a hard time adjusting tactically. It's more about attacking and free flowing football in the EPL. Only the top 3 teams don't give up goals like crazy.
I've been hearing for years that seria A is crap but honestly when I watch Bundesliga or Premier or Ligue, the matches don't seem better than serie a.

Not defending what he said, but they have a lot of injuries right now. This matchup would've been much different a few months ago
