All discussion involving other European leagues here

Just to get things rolling, Pogba will apparently have to sit out Man U's first game due to yellow card accumulation in the Coppa Italia (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

What's your question? Is Ligue 1 a top-tier league? Yes and no. If you take some factors in consideration only EPL and La Liga turn out to be top tier leagues at the moment. But if you take other aspects like history/tradition into consideration, the French league is up there with Serie A and the Buli at the top.

We can't say the same for any other club in the world. That's why Neymar's move makes perfect sense. It's a good push into a direction that makes "balance of power" slightly more possible.

My question was: when was the last time a French side won a European competition? Can you please answer that for me?

'Sh*t and a joke'.

Wow. You're one of the most reasonable guys on here but this is one occasion where such qualities are curiously absent.

But we move on.

Oh dear me. How does me saying that the French league is sh*t and a joke demonstrate that I am angry? It's an OPINION, Danny. Your logic is not very sound.

It took a miracle goal in the final second to put PSG out last season in the last 16, and a robust Juve defence to deny Monaco in the semi final.

Can't quite see how all this qualifies as a joke when your superior EPL didn't even do as well as this but each to their own

Did PSG and Monaco win the Champions League? No. That's all that matters. Don't make me repeat the question I've been making to Fillipo over and over again.

ManU won the Europa League in the meanwhile...

Man, I don't get your tone here really. You say over and over again you've asked me something we already know. But the truth is, even if the last CL win by a French team was in 1899, I'd still be saying the Ligue 1 is a good league nowadays.

Sure, winning silverware is a important criteria. You can argue that the Spaniards are better then the English in that department, Italy better then Germany etc. But is it, like you say, "all that matters"? I don't think so. And you're just making excuses here X-O, I'm sorry but you are. You obviously jumped the gun and used words like "shite" and "joke", vastly underrating the league we were talking about. Sure, it's your opinion and you can put it in words you like, but you ain't usually the one who jumps in and names things in that manner.
