Cloud, take a look at the post you quoted, I explained the "distinctly average" comment. I acknowledge it's one of the top three, the remark was in reference to how competitive it's been recently - i.e. not very.
So what if Henry was played out wide in Italy, is it just me or does he drift out wide ALL THE TIME for Arsenal? He doesn't play the striker role in the Premiership either! For whatever reason he couldn't cut it at Juve, like I said it might well be a cultural thing, it's not reflective of a league's standing over another.
Slating the defending in Spain is about as cliche as those who call Italian football defensive, but if that's what you think then fine.
Use of what excuse, I can say the English press are OTT as much as I fucking want, it's still nothing to do with the fact I think the standard of football isn't on a par with Italy and Spain!
I applauded JB and Ad for their views earlier on, so you're out of line to say I'm anti-English, you're verging on calling me a racist but if that's what you think then come out and say it, don't dance around the issue with shite like "nationalism". :roll:
