Strachan talks sense?

soon sort out the "whos better" question

Or we could ignore Jocko football due to it being an irrelevance.

sadly

Also playing Jocks pre-season isa bad idea as they try to kick you off the park and you end up with injuries. I preferred the good old Scandanavian pre-seasons personally.

Spain is a better league than than the Premier League.

Technically prettier but it can be shite to watch sometimes.

If we are basing over the past few years, Spain would win hands down.

Yes but are we and if so why? Why not base it on now?

Right about the rest though

and, in fact, i was suggesting way back that he's be a useful buy for us. he's not outstanding like he was in the spl, though.

You said earlier that every team in the league would beat them. Just selecting a few I thought wouldn't.

So, tonight then, which one of those teams playing there instead of United would you have money on? Reading? Sheffield United? Charlton? City?

And I agree with Strachan when he says the EPL gives itself too many pats on the back (a lot of which is going on in this thread). Indeed, we can use Borsuk's valid point re: familiarity that if the sides from Italy or Spain were playing the English sides week in week out, I believe they would perform much better than they do in the cup games.
