according to the UEFA Coefficient

SO FAR

for THIS SEASON

the points look like this

so far this season:

Bundesliga: 18.083

La Liga: 17.500

EPL: 17.214

Seria A: 15.142

La Ligue: 15.000



WHAT does that tell YOU ???

mmm....world domination?

Collecting more than 18 points so far is an amazing achievement. In the last five years, only Spain managed to collect more points in the 06/07 campaign, and there are still 2 German teams left in the competition. I don't think this is just temporary either. While the Bundesliga may not perform this outstandingly well in the coming years, I do expect them to remain strong. The foundation of this success are the important reforms on the youth level - Germany is producing a lot of talented players these days, which improve the league and increase the level of competition. The Bundesliga has gotten a lot stronger and competitive in the last few years, even if many either fail or simply refuse to acknowledge this.

Another interesting fact is that this year, all of the five big European leagues performed well, even Holland and Portugal did relatively well, while the Eastern Europeans and other small leagues were rather disappointing. Knowing that Platini promised to help the smaller leagues, it doesn't really look like they are going to catch up with the traditional powerhouses anytime soon.

At the very least. I think we should expand that to "universal domination".

Bochum just sacked Herrlich

Kevin is said to be on his way to Moscow



I know, he'll get a monster salary

but where are all the EPL offers ???

goes to show that the EPL has some of the worst scouts in the world

the XENOPHOBIA over there is APPALLING

latest rumour has ManU offer 20 million Euros for Dortmund's SUBOTIC

WHY ?

the BETTER central defender is HUMMELS

yet there seems to be ZERO interest in him in the EPL

I FEAR that the EPL cannot continue like this FOREVER

they will simply lose TOUCH

and SOON

the Bundesliga and La Liga will be ahead of them in the UEFA rankings

then

it's between Seria A and the EPL

for THIRD PLACE

Kevin? Kevin Kuranyi?

just like the Dutchies believe DUTCH HYPE

so you, tweeds

believe EPL - HYPE



Kevin is WORLD CLASS

and I would have him in MY TEAM

ANY DAY

over

ZEROoney



-------------

incidentally

some time ago, England were playing Croatia

my argument to BERND was that Croatia had the edge

not least because they had the likes of Petric and OLIC

where England merely had ZEROoney

bernd and the other Englanders on here had laughing fits

NOW

you EPL lovers

could see for yourselves what kind of player OLIC is

you will appreciate, tweeds

that Olic was cutting up Lyon with more ease and skill

than Gordon Ramsay ever did an American Turkey with the finest Sheffield Steel

I bet

you had not seen THAT coming

only in the Bundesliga



PS

Robben, the admittedly overhyped Nederlander, just said that he NEVER wanted to return to the EPL or La Liga (Seria A was no option ANYWAY, he said)

he would rather prefer to see out his career in the Bundesliga

this will not make the Bundesliga stronger

BUT

it will make ALL of you JEALOUS

Otto - your ZEROoney criticism is mental.

Rooney wasn't playing when England crashed and burned at the hands of Croatia back in 2007.

When he was this campaign, England won 4-1 away and 5-1 at home. Rooney was magnificent in both.

Olic is a fine player, but please come and join us in the real World whenever you're ready

And if it weren't for the overhyped Netherlander, Bayern would have been out in the second round. Had he not scored two wonder goals against Fiorentina and Manchester United, you and Ozil would not be celebrating your coefficient points like a pair of mathematics nerds who've just discovered a formula for the perfect wank

bernd

the EU has a programme called

"Lifelong-Learning"

it's NEVER too late, old chap



ZEROoney had the chance to become a HEROoney against Bayern

I have a newsflash for you

he FAILED

as much as Gomez did at Euro 2008

OLIC , meanwhile, seems to be the REAL DEAL

for once, old peach

embrace your EASTERN EUROPEAN HERITAGE

and REJOICE

there is an OLIC in ALL OF US

ALL THE TIME

whereas

there is a ZEROoney in ALL OF US

only

in our worst NIGHTMARES

I've always been a fan of Olic, there's a certain britishness about him. He's like a Rooney-lite.

Much like Rooney, his criticisms in the past have rvolved around his golascoring record and he's shut up a few recently with his vital goals in the CL.

Rooney indeed had a poor game at Bayern there is no doubt. He only scored the once which is unusual for him this season.

Having played almost every game of United's campaign, he was due a rest.

Thankfully, his injury at the end of the match will make him fresh for the World Cup.

Olic is a decent player. Is he better than Rooney? No

Does my Eastern European heritage make any difference to this quite obvious state of affairs? No.

Being blinded by your nationality is not something to cheer about old peach - it's SO last century.

Keep up with the times my friend, we live in a Global village where Dutch, English and German players are no longer identifiable by the size of their mullets

tweeds likes Olic not because he is brilliant

but

because there is a BRITISHNESS about him

is that why you love the Provence as well ?

it reminds you of Cornwall

with the Mount St Victoire being Boxhill



@British chaps

I have a newsflash for you

the Bundesliga is the PLACE to BE

the LEAGUE to support

NOBODY in England knows it yet

THAT is your chance

IF you switch allegiance NOW, none of your friends will accuse you of being glory-hunters

and in a year or two

you will look like a PROPHET

an ORACLE

believe in the Bundesliga

believe in the FUTURE

Not that I could actually read an entire post of yours, but are you saying Germany is no.1 because or in spite of all those points accrued by the Louis Van Gaal-led FC Bayern München?

van der Vaart says : " van Gaal should call ME and we can talk"



he realises

Bayern >> Real

Bundesliga >>> La Liga

+

C Ronaldo says

"of course, I can imagine playing in the BUndesliga at some point"

PREDICTION TIME

Gerrard to move to Wolfsburg this summer

Until the Bundesliga can boast about having this player,

DU BIST NICHS!
