KO Round 1 of the champions league is ideal stage for the question to be answered once and for all: Who's got the best league?
3 English Giants Vs 3 Italian Juggernauts
Englands Most successful club Vs Spains most successful and richest club
So lets have it, how do you think the Brits stack up against Europes best
Well, given that the Premier League has been the dominant force in the Champions League in the past four years (Liverpool and United win, Arsenal and Liverpool defeated in the final, three semi-finalists in each of the past two editions), I think that in terms of Champions League teams, the Premier League is on top.
Actually, with the performances of Villa, Wigan, Everton and Tottenham ( 
I kid) I think that the English also have the best mid-table teams, though that was not the case in previous seasons.
And given that there is virtually no difference in points between mid-table teams and those at the bottom of the table, I would say that the Premier League also has the best worst teams in Europe.
That being said, the Premier League is the world's best league (in terms of quality, no longer entertainment) and I expect at least three to go through the round of 16. All four if Essien comes back.
The EPL is, in my opinion the best league. Purely because you can find skill, physical strength, pace, and nearlly every tactic of the modern game within the league.
The Serie A would be next I think, because if you look at the player's in that league, many of them are very underrated and have minimal viewing to fans over the world. Likes of Pato, Adriano, and many more are finding their feet and scoring important goals.
La Liga has slackened a tad this season I think with Barca thrashing nearlly everyone in sight. I think they are the best team in the world at the moment, but besides them no one is really trying to grab the title. But still a league of very high quality, and a Barca team who could take the world on a spin.
The German Bundesliga and Dutch Erevidse or how ever you spell it, are both okay leagues. However, I do think the Erevidse is underrated. Some player's coming out of that league are real class. Jason Culina (PSV) is a suberb talent and its a shame PSV couldn't hold onto him for next season. He can play practically anywhere on the field from right back to attacking midfield, with the central/attacking midfield being his preferred position. The fact he is only paid around 1.5m per season is sad for a player of his ability. He has gone to the A-League's new team Gold Coast United next season, where he will be paid the same, possibly better than PSV, and will be the marquee player of the team. The owner of the club has said he will give Culina that attacking incentive he has wanted, and that has obviously affected his move.
As for the UCL, I think the Arsenal v Roma tie will be very close, maybe a 2-1 or 1-0 win for Arsenal at home, then a 1-1 draw in Italy. I think Inter Milan will cause some problems for Man Utd, but in the end fall to red devils class. 1-1 at Milan and 2 or 3-0 at OT. I think Juventus might put Chelsea to the sword if the latter keeps up their current form. Chelsea might get a 1-0 or close win at home if they're lucky, but can't see them coming close to winning at Juve. Something like a 3-1 win for Juve at home. The Liverpool v Madrid game is a very fascinating one. Both in not great form, and could be one of those classic cup ties where both matches aren't won on skill, but pure determination and will to win.
But, wouldn't be suprised if all those games went the opposite way, because as we've seen with Roma, league form doesn't necesarily affect cup games at all.
somethings wrong with the title, worlds best league or Europe best league? MLS it has to be ...
BPL - definitely for the style of play
La Liga - sometimes stars are born here
Serie A - dark stars become shining stars
M-League is not football?
MLS?
Major League Soccer - US 'Football'
What I mean is my country's coach,B. Sathianathan said that my country's league is not the real football...
yup US football has the "best" league.
erm manutdfan: when United are coming to KL, are u going to catch them?
This isn't me being controversial but I'd put the BPL second and Serie A first...with La Liga third....
I really do think Italy is the hardest place to become a star...and if you can be a consistent star there you really are class....some ppl may try to contradict that by saying well look at some Serie A stars that flopped in England like Sheva....but I think overall English stars have flopped way more in Italy than Serie A stars in England
But then that's just a thought....
Even with all the money and high profile signings in the EPL, i think there is still something special about La Liga, that captures every footballer
I agree with rhianjoseph the Serie A, is a tough league, just being a talented footballer wont cut it there. To make it there you need to be disciplined and a true professional. Perhaps thats why not to many English Players have played there
la liga is the place for technically good players to flourish
the balance has definitely changed Its like the worlds gone crazy, can you imagine these headlines five years ago:
City in for Kaka 
Juventus to bid Carlton Cole
Jermaine Jenas to Inter
and my personal favourite....
Jermain Pennant snubs Real Madrid 
mass deaths due to outbursts of uncontrollable laughter-suffocation 
What about 'City line up Bellamy as Kaka replacement' haha that would be ridiculous...oh wait 
move to transfer thread and not here.
What duffman said
Ouch!! That hurt...
What did duffman said earlier?

I think the EPL is losing its unique flavor, with all the new money in it. Its becoming more of a European style competition rather than the classical British style game, it used to be in its early days...
