But Napoli will be back in Europe soon. They'll be buying some big players in the coming years... I just can't see Villa making that kind of progress. Napoli just got promoted from Serie B and they had much better signings than Villa. To me, Villa don't look all to ambitious. Tottenham? Their ambition I can see. Villa? No.

No.  Then, to me, you're like most people, you don't really know much about clubs outside the top 5 in the EPL. Especially since Spurs and Villa have a very similar transfer policy. I agree that Nopli have a better chance of Europe, does that mean they're better? Not at all. They'll be fighting with the likes of Empoli for a UEFA Cup place, we have to fight Newcastle and Everton, there's a clear difference in class between the mid-table teams in Serie A and the EPL. As for ambition, the money we've spent, the type of players we've bought, we're going places. Especially with one of the youngest squads in the league. |

(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The fact that there is a lot of many being poured into the EPL means nothing in terms of football. At least for now. Maybe the effects are inevitable in good time, but for now, I don't see such a big difference. Top clubs in Italy: Milan Juve Inter Roma Fiorentina Lazio Then you have: Sampdoria Palermo How is that going to be easy?

I hope u notice this is milanfan.com not Unitedfan.com (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . Cuz there is no way u can compare that hyped up league to Serie A !! I can tolerate so much, but to say that Sampdoria, Palermo, Fiorentina, and Lazio don't have class ?! Well, it's like ur saying I have no idea what Serie A is, but I'm just here for the ride ... (which I know ur not, so ..) Money ?! Yeah the EPL has the money, what has that got to do with anything ... For us here, we hold Serie A in high esteem, higher than La Liga or the EPL. It is the most difficult league in the world! |

It is all opinion.
In my opinion Spurs, Newcastle, Villa and Everton are better than Lazio, Viola, Palermo and Napoli QUOTE wow wow ... hold on ... I hope u notice this is milanfan.com not Unitedfan.com . Cuz there is no way u can compare that hyped up league to Serie A !! Oh, I see. But it's okay for you to bash my home team with a team like Napoli. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) So what does Napoli have to do with Milanfan? QUOTE Money ?! Yeah the EPL has the money, what has that got to do with anything ... For us here, we hold Serie A in high esteem, higher than La Liga or the EPL. It is the most difficult league in the world! Money? What about money? I'm saying our signings were no worse than Napoli's, I was replying to what Max said about our transfer, which usually involves money. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't HAVE TO think Serie A is the best league in the World just because I like Milan. QUOTE How is that going to be easy? There is a huge difference in the meaning easy and easier. Easier is the word I used. It is easier to beat Serie A mid-table teams than EPL mid-table teams, that is what I'm saying. But again, you say Napoli are better than Villa, with a superb history and whatever, yet my team apparently doesn't? As soon as I move to defend my team I'm apparently anti-Milan and hate Serie A because English people can never be right because they only live by hype.

Seriously, who the f2ck cares .. I mean ur the ONLY one in here talking about Villa in every single thread !!! Stick to the EPL thread with that stuff ! Well, Napoli has a lot to do with Milanfan, first off we will be playing them twice this year and if we get them in the Coppa then 4 times .. Which has a closer correlation than the EPL second string teams (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) p.s. I don't mean to offend u, and I don't mean to bash ur team (u know I was joking..) ... Obviously Villa have greater prestige than Chelsea and u know how I respect thing slike that. But lets try to keep the EPL talk in the EPL thread, that is what I meant by Unitedfan.com (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Sep 14 2007, 08:51 PM) there's a clear difference in class between the mid-table teams in Serie A and the EPL. Kurt, I don't have any problem with you defending Villa - I actually rather enjoy watching them - and we're all certainly welcome to our opinions on the superiority of one league over another. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with you on the above statement. I don't think the UEFA-Cup place teams (to use rough comparison) in England are at all better than the UEFA-Cup place teams in Italy. Again, it's personal preference, but for me the likes of Fiorentina are equal to (if not better than) the Evertons and Tottenhams of the world. As for Napoli, perhaps it's only the old folks on the board who remember the late 80s and 90s, but they /were/ a powerhouse. And even when they were struggling after bankrupcy and in Serie C, they were the 4th most supported club in Italy (after Juve, Milan, and Inter and well ahead of either Rome team). I'm thrilled to see them back in Serie A and having real potential to do well. I'll quite happily agree to disagree with you on the matter though.(IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (At least we've agreed on...something in the past. I remember this, and it shocked me.) |

Oh not again... please guys!
Kurt, of course Napoli would be in the imaginary Super League, every man and woman south of Rome would go to the stadium to support them! They might not have a rich trophy cabinet but they are huge cause they represent a huge part of Italy, they represent all those Italians that the lush North does not consider to even be Italians... |

But the one thing that does p1ss me off is that YOU always single me out with this. Porty could talk about Barca in whatever thread, or go completely off topic and talk about his ***, do you yap on at him about going off topic? No, it's a rule that only applies to me apparently. Napoli of Maradonna? No, I didn't experience it, but I do not need to as a few years does not make a great team. |

It's because me and Porty hooked up last nite ... That's why he was off the hook ... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
and Porty doesn't even like Barca in the first place ... Anyways ... U need to take a chill pill !!! BIG time ... I am not singling u out and I am not picking on u. But please do, if u think I meant to take a swipe at u, go to any recent thread u like and just flip through it then tell me how many times the word 'Villa' had been brought up! Then take a deep breath and understand what I am trying to say here. p.s. a couple of years (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Aha .. clearly this explains a lot ... wikipedia right (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (Why do I even try) EDIT: QUOTE Napoli of Maradonna u mean Maradona (@dst got one (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) This post has been edited by Rossoneri7: Sep 15 2007, 03:02 AM |

I understand what you're saying about Villa (Using Barcelona was an example, by the way.), but I'll do a real one, Porty talking about Real Madrid then. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
On looking at Wikipedia I've found Maradona was there for 7 years, so I admit I was off with 'a few years'. But I still don't believe that makes a great team, that's just my opinion. |

I think Napoli are bigger than Roma (for example) and that's only because Maradona played for them! In any case, everyone is entitled to their own opinion... Kurt, I don't think it matters though if Napoli is a great team or not cause the Super League represents the bigs, not the greats and in that sense Napoli are big since they have a huge following (read my post above) In any case, the supposed Super League is so random that makes Joey sound like he's speaking French!

I agree, with the agreeing to disagree. In any case, back to the thread. What a useless thing it'd be, it would destroy Serie A, they wouldn't have any big teams left! But it isn't happening anyways. |
