EPL seems to be on everyone's lips come every saturday ... Its an integral part in our sporting community here,ppl here know nuts about primera liga , italian league,let alone s-league...If u flip open our local newspapers today ,its all epl,epl,epl...our very own league sees no daylight...And the local media always report stories in the epl club's perpective,eg. Instead of headlines reading"Real madrid triumphs over man utd" , its "Man utd disappointing against real madrid"...
An average football fan in singapore sometimes seem to forget they're singaporeans...I mean , if u simply ask anyone wat's their favourite club , they will name man u ,liverpool ,arsenal(all english),they jus complain about the lack of quality in singapore football ...Is this wat a 150 years of colonial rule did to us?

firstly cause the coverage of other leagues pales in comparison to epl.

2nd, their timings are kinda off for most of us

3rd, their commentary totally sucks and bores u to death.

Trump_Card SG

Perhaps ...the epl also makes use of the fact that asians like them n contribute to the fat revenue they earn every year,thus they increase the price of telecast rights and make us pay more to watch epl live every sat or sun...they only look at us for $$$
... dun u tink so ?1 good example is how chelsea plans to promote itself in china
and america... cuz they r 2 of the biggest markets in the world... and if they really like their fans in asia , why dun they come play asia too play live for us?So much for the support of die-hard manu,liverpool etc fans... Sad

Actually Serie A timing is the best,most matches on Sun 9pm,before 11 finish liao.

Serie A is still the best league in the world for me.

With all the hype about an all English Euro Cup final,dont be surprised if Milan sneaks away with the Cup.

Nelstar SG

EPL is four times bigger than S-league.

No I think eight times now.

EPL= 20 teams.
Division 1
Division 2
Division 3

Laughing

And if we compare EPL to primera liga, bundesliga, serie A...

We know the language. You spiak spanish, german or italian?

Trump_Card SG

Yar ... im for milan... Mr. Green

Marco_Simone SG

I would love a milan-loserfool final again

The Mighty Rossoneri to exorcise the ghosts of La Coruna and Istanbul once and for all...

For those who said that Serie A is boring,have you actually watched a Serie A match?

I have a feeling that most people just toe the media's line and say Italian football is boring(since the papers always say Serie A is too dull,so you just jump onto the bandwagon)

The papers say Italians play catenaccio all the time...You know what is catenaccio? Do you know catenaccio is not as prevalent as before in Serie A since Arrigo Saachi took over AC Milan in 1987 and introduced the pressing game to the world?
