3. They may not be the most skillful players ( la liga) out there or tactically set ( Serie A ) but they do everything to win with never give up attitude. That's what makes EVERY match competitive From parking the bus to hacking down players or outplaying with possession you could find all forms in EPL as long as it helps them to win.

If I were a neutral I'd watch EPL week and week out

You have arsenal who arsene wenger has turned into a continental style team, tottenham who are the best example of a traditional english attacking style of direct, fast, football with skill, manchester city who are copying arsenal with a short passing game but with a more tactical manager (mancini), man utd who play fast direct, stoke who play rugby, swansea who think they are barcelona, chelsea who dont even know what they are trying to play like, ect ect

Chelsea and Liverpool are the clearest, most exaggerated example of the way football is going: very intense, very collective, very tactical, very physical, and very direct, he added. But, a short pass? Noooo. A feint? Noooo. A change of pace? Noooo. A one-two? A nutmeg? A backheel? Don't be ridiculous. None of that. The extreme control and seriousness with which both teams played the semi-final neutralised any creative licence, any moments of exquisite skill."

This is why Mourinho hates him

so what if it's faster, if i wanted to watch the ball bounce from left to right a lot i'd watch tennis...

Just that alone...even if you remove all the other factors make the game relatively more exciting.

Spanish and Italian teams should make their pitches wider IMO.
