- Hey guys,
With all but one of the English clubs getting knocked out of Europe, the discussion about whether or not English clubs are farmers has been brought up. We look at the positive and negatives parts of the league and really try to break down whether or not it is an actual farmer's league

The only thing that pisses me off are Premier League fanboys being arrogant, so it tastes good when an English club gets eliminated from a continental competition.
They are even more ignorant than arrogant 🤣 it's hysterical
As a Liverpool fan I agree, it’s got me falling out of love for football
Well said
@@thandowriting5120 they truly are destroying excitement for ucl matches and suck the fun out of it. they also are really nonsensical considering that players and coaches made in other leagues are dominating epl, among other facts to rebute them 🤣
@@ThomasSamoth-ls8edNobody cares about coaches
It is probably the best league in recent years, but fans are crazy delusional. There was a poll how would PSG do, and some suggested 8th place and one comment said Aston Villa is stronger than Barcelona. Turns out Villa is not stronger than Olympiacos.
I think Sheffield United would win the Serie A, for sure
To be fair, PSG have been shit in the Champions League almost every year despite spending ludicrous money, so I don't think it's unreasonable for people to assume they'd be shit this year too.
@@DJ-fl4gn are u dumb ? PSG always secured at least a spot in semifinals in the last 5 years more than a lot of clubs.
PSG was predominantly present in UCL.
Lmao pissg would never ever do good in premier league and I’m not even a premier league fan
@@axesus6966psg would finish 4th or 3rd
As a German i can Confirm PL is the farmers League now lmao
Cyprus is a farmers' league.
Bosnia is a farmers' league.
The bundesliga and the premier league will never be farmers' leagues.
I'm so tired of this argument, that english teams can not rest their players and because of that are not dominating Europe. They literally have twice the money as any other league and can easily buy loads of more quality players. These excuses are just pathetic.
FFP exists
@@bf4lvr
How does this affect my argument? When you have twice the incomings you can spend twice the money.
@@franzburisch5280 I agree but clubs buying top class backups for every position doesn’t really happen, even city who spend a ridiculous amount of money don’t have 2 top players in each position
@@bf4lvr Does it? 😅
@@bf4lvr than how is City still in the PL?
The rest of the world hates the arrogance of English fans. The “Brighton would win Serie A” thing is an example of the nonsense that non-Prem football fans hate. The quality in the top 5 leagues is basically the same. The Premier league is the best but not by much. Results in European competitions will showcase this to you.
I watch matches from BL and EPL. On average I find the EPL matches more entertaining. This makes it the best league for me. English arrogance and their subsequent bottle jobs in European and international competitions is just the icing on the cake 😂
@@TheHesseJames Rent free
The f would say Brighton would win that nahh 😂😂😂😂😂
Nigga I am a prem fan and I even know that ain't happening
I know only prob man city arsenal and Liverpool would do that easy but nah brighton now imagine Tottenham Aston villa and more
@@ImnolongerproudLiverpool wouldn't
They lost against Atlanta 😂😂😂😂
La liga is the best league in the world
Not very entertaining but la liga teams play good football
@@kudabanda13 bro real Madrid drew with rb Leipzig a team man city beat 5-0 same thing bro it doesn't matter I'd they got swallowed by small teams cuz they underestimated them firstly

Where have you seen a team suddenly rise from lowest league beat all expectations and go to the top of the chains
More suprise
More money
Many more better players
More challenge
More audience
And list keeps going buddy
PL being the best league dosnt stop it from being a farmers league and extremely overrated
Ironic

@@dekulites8599 Better than an overrated oil league in which it´s farming champion can cheat 115 times (without repercussion) and still be crowned champion.
@@Umar-iv4iw Actually not. If anything the Bundesliga is extremely underrated
@@dekulites8599your dumb
For me it's not an excuse if you have more domestic cup competitions. Deal with it or get rid of the Carabao Cup and you have more freetime. But you need the money grap so you play it anyway.
Agree. As if other leagues are at fault for that. Also how about using the absurd amount of money PL teams have at their disposal to improve team depth, as Seria A teams historically did
CARABAO cup is a good money deal for lower leaguesand championship; Not at all for premier league. Rather, it is one of the beautiful things about prem. In la liga all the money flows to barca and madrid while the distribution is better and has been better in the prem
@@MummyNapkin970 Precisely. A squad like Man city is absolutely one of the strongest because you can argue the entire bench has the potential to also start the games as well. A team like UTD doesn't have proper subs for their forwards (especially the striker, i don't even remember who subs in for Højlund to play). Like damn, this is a team that has one the league before, surely they could buy a back up forward?
Farmers league used to mean a league, where one team wins all the titles and bc of that farms titles (like Bayern and PSG). Nowadays ppl just call weak leagues that and it's weird
Before PSG, Lyon won 8 consecutive league titles between 2000-2008.
@juanrosales7767 7
Since Pep the premier league is boring af as well. English fans just dont wanna see it
So basically Man CIty in Premier League?
Calling any league a farmers league kind of typically comes from people who want to think their league is better. The phrase is stupid to begin with, especially once you look at what Manchester City is doing which would make any league a "farmers league" now.
Farmers league is a term that makes me cringe in general. It basically is a word that exposes anyone who uses it for having no ball knowledge
farmers are hard and honest workers.
Especially because people use the term entirely wrong from when it emerged. Farming in 'farmers league' comes from video game culture. Not from actual fking agriculture.
Brighton could go top 4 in other league? What a joke, obviously these guys didn't watch football from other leagues 😆
Brighton and it's manager is so overrated it's scary
It makes me sad to think that clubs like Red Star or Steaua București conquering Europe will probably never happen again as their leagues don’t see a fraction of the money we see
Or massive clubs like rangers and Celtic never winning in Europe again. With Celtic being the first British club to win the European cup (The Champions League).
@@defectedboss529 I felt bad for rangers losing that europa final, even though I prefer celtic
@@bf4lvr Yeah thanks to an ex premier league player in Aaron Ramsey, missing a penalty. maybe they are all farmers 🤷♂️
@@bf4lvr i danced an irish jig that night
Yeah that's why a NBA like super league is needed in Europe. But people love their domestic leagues so much which is understandable but the fans need to decide. Fair financial competition in Europe or domestic leagues
1:29 I'm Brazilian and I had no idea the gap was that big, and there's a club that played 79 matches in a single season and we're still dominating continental competitions. wat?
@adoc4015 In the last 5 years a Brazilian club has won the copa libertadores every year
It's such a shame 20th in PL gets more revenue than 1st in La Liga
Bs
Well that's because la liga was rigged to give all the money to real and barca
That's called marketing
It's because they play in a better league
tv renenue maybe, but overall revenue definetly not. Real is in the top 3 cluby sorted by revenue.
I don't think anyone genuienly thinks the Premier League is a farmers league (at least I hope so). I think this is just people making fun of these unbearable Prem fans who think the Prem is the only league that matters in football
well i donte like the term farmers league but under the conception that the shity prem fans set them selfs its a term to discribe a one team league witch the prem is
A top five league in Europe cannot be considered a farmers' league.
The distorted "definition" of the term is baffling.
this channel so underrated

He doesn't even know what a "farmers' league" is.
@@lukemclellan2141 fr
The main issue is that "farmers league" is a stupid and ignorant term to begin with. Also the definition changes every time to fit the narrative of the person currently using it. For me it is simple: the only way to somehow compare leagues is european competition.
Nah, premier is a farmers league. that's it
England has most ucl winnings teams in a single league, Spain have barca, Madrid, bundesliga have bayern dortmund and hamburg. Italy have inter, ac Milan and juventus. However England has Chelsea, man city, man United, forest, Liverpool. England have the best history, Spain not this season but others have been a battle between 3 clubs, Germany apart from this season has been a battle with 2 clubs, Italy is the only one here in Europe top 5 that truly isn't a farmers, all these leagues however have been swept away with 1 or 2 contenders, however in the premier it has been a neck and neck 3 horse race between arsenal Liverpool and City which dropping points could end a run, Liverpool proved this and its arsenal city in the race, England is the only league of the ones I mentioned that hasn't already got a confirmed winner
@@Wild_EditsA the last 6 PL seasons had City win it 5 times, and they are gonna win it again this year
I bet you’re great fun at parties
100% Farmers League as a term has changed and morphs constantly simply as a way to put others down. It originally was used to describe leagues where some teams were made up of part-time players (example, farmers), so it was much easier. Now people say it's a farmers league when a team wins it a lot....stupid.
ong this guys videos are so good
underrated as hell
The EPL gets more TV money, but mainly because there are more English speaking people to watch it and not necessarily because it is better. It always got more TV money - even when the league was much worse than other Big 5. The question is whether the TV money translates into better quality. It allows you to buy more quality players but it also makes you complacent in player development and in tactics. That's why EPL teams usually fail on tactics.
The intensity of top teams is comparable in Europe. If it was higher in the EPL, then English teams would dominate their European competition, but with the exception of oligarch/oil clubs most English clubs do not stand a chance of winning in Europe. Manchester City is therefore comparable to PSG in France. They are not in their position because of the league quality or TV money, but because of extreme cash injections from shady owners. The Spanish and German clubs are usually owned by non-profit organisations that do not inject billions into players which - on the upside - keeps the wages and transfer fees lower, while those costs are artificially inflated in England. That's why players in England are more expensive than in other countries.
Regarding the winter break: In some countries this was introduced decades ago simply because the conditions were too bad to play. The winter in England is much milder than in e.g. Germany or Sweden. The risk of injury at negative degrees and in bad conditions was deemed too high. I doubt this has a big influence on Champions League Performance at the end of the season.
I don’t think you understand the concept of a “farmer’s league.” 🤭

@@eavyeavy2864 cope
Theres not a single fact to prove it
Having offseasons can happen to any nation, for a counter example - Serie A had one team in each final of the european cups last year (all lost) and one of the two semifinals in the CL being the Milan-Inter derby. Most people here in Italy thought that our league was finally back to its former glory, only to be proven wrong AGAIN this year with the disastrous runs in the CL from Inter, Milan, Napoli and Lazio. And yes, while in the EL and ECL Roma and Fiorentina are still running up for the competitions I'm quite certain they will not win, because Serie A's level is extremely low, we just have what other league don't: defending.
3 teams in European competitions is nothing to get snobbish about, even if all of the Italian teams are out of the CL. The English have got just 1 left, and also 0 in the CL yet finding all sorts of excuses.
@@pritapp788 where was I snobbish? I said that our level is not as high as some people here in Italy thought, and I was proving that offseasons (or, in Italy's case, special seasons like last year's) can happen to any other major league.
What's important to understand is that european competitions are also extremely situational, if every puzzle piece fits where they should you can get an insane european run, or not.
hope the italian football will come back soon. Both the clubs and national team. You have so many great clubs that I like to watch. 🇩🇪🤝🇮🇹
The main impression is created by English players being rated much more valuable than the rest o the world. that's just because they have better contracts what makes compensation higher automatically, but also because they have a rule about at least having 8 English players in the team, what makes the fight about talents even worse
no it’s also bc english players are highly overrated
There aren’t farmers how dare you, they are Premier Farmers. Big difference 😊
Absolutelyyy brilliant video! Fellow American here but just gotta say great stuff man 🤙
En Inglaterra piensan que correr como idiotas y pagar 200 millones por cada jugador los hace mejores, por eso el unico mundial que tienen es robado😂😂
I love your vids man
Keep up the good work bruh
great stuff! :) it's not boring, it's our perception of boring.

Appreciate it!
I hate Man U, but they were the Real Madrid of the premier league, the fact for over 10 years the "biggest club" in the prem revenue wise has been so mismanaged means the slightly smaller clubs have to take up the mantle. Imagine La Liga if Real Madrid suddenly forgot how to win, the league would lose much european prestige.
The Reason English clubs didnt compete for the champions league from 1985 was because they were banned after the Heysel disaster for up to 6 years
And after that they sold everything to russians and saudis.
I know right. He goes on about Italian and Spanis dominance but forgets that the other countries hate England. When we were absolutely dominating the CL they banned us to stop it, took 20 years to recover. And now we are back theyre moaning again.
@@user-sc9oy1kz8gyou weren't dominating the first 20 years ajd the last 10 years.
@patrickhauser588 What you on about? Im saying England dominated the competition in the late 70s. They won 7 out of the 8 europeans cups before they were conveniently banned in 1985. It seriously set English football back and only recently have they returned to the level they were at then. It took 15 years for an English club to win it again, and 20 years to really recover their coefficient.

The best Arsenal team in a Decade being Trashed by the Worst Bayern team in a Decade was Music to my ears hearing all the prem fans complain
I think one of the problems is there aren't enough team's with a winning mentality. City has one 5 out 7 titles and it gives only City a winning mentality. They know what it means to win a league. Sure the English were poor this year but when we had Borrusia/Bayern and Juve/Milan in UCL finals, all teams had winning mentalities from winning leagues and international trophies
It’s just one season. To support that hypothesis you would need to look at it over a 5 season time frame. There was a time in the 1990s when English clubs were dire in Europe (although I think there was a bad at one point to be fair) but that’s not the case anymore.
nobody really thinks the premier league is bad. They are just really arrogant and ignorant, thats why people poke fun at them. They pretend them having the best marketing in europe is not due to their default language being english, plus they talk about history and heritage like they didnt get bought by oil sheikhs and are a playball for international politics.
babe wake up, new dagnal video
They run a lot but can’t translate that to Europe. Idk if running a lot means they’re so much better.
Well we are becoming a farmers league, 115 FC might as well get given the trophy before a ball is even kicked.
Our media & pundits have this sheer arrogance of hyping up how great our league is but let’s be realistic, we get humiliated in Europe most of the time when we face top teams. Only Aston Villa are the English representatives in any European competition.
People use “fixture congestion” & “injuries” as excuses but let’s be real, you need to be playing consistently to maintain fitness & getting up to scratch.
The Premier League has the most money but hardly the best in the world. Give me the Serie A of the 90s/00s over this current Premier League decade all day long!
It blows my mind that so many people don't understand what Farmers League means.
So true. It means whatever people want it to mean to put down other leagues these days haha
as a german we always considered italy to be our top rival, in recent years france. england has never really been up there. heck, even a germany vs netherlands game draws more intensity from the crowd
The premier league has the hghest floor but the ceiling hasn't necessarily been raised. This year though, the 3 headed tittle race costed them on europea. Liverpool and Arsenal are looking knackered because they literally cannot loose a single Game to he able to Challenger city so they are oobligated to play allá the starters every Game.
As a Brighton fan, I’m just happy we won our group. That was pretty awesome
It was not awesome when u get spanked by Roma. Might be the last time playing europe, should not gave an embarrassing display
@@Yankydaddy91 Man these fake watchers with 0 knowledge just suck... Brighton had 12 starting players injured and have the strongest injured XI in europe against a Roma on the rise winning 5 in a row with new manager no or few starting XI injured, and roma is really good right now they even smashed AC Milan in EL last week so context bud. Maybe first european campaign but certainly not the last, if anything Man U was the big embarrassement for PL crashing out in one of the easiest groups.
And got destroyed by Roma 💀💀💀😂😂😂
@@ZAzander1every club gets injuries.
@@ZAzander1 Roma had injuries aswell
England was the "best league" because there was competition at the top. More variety of winners and close title and top 4 races often. From like 2010 on almost every league had only 1 or 2 teams winning the league. The best English clubs are not better than the best clubs in other leagues, usually theyre worse. But the 3rd to 8th place teams are usually superior to other league equivalents
This channel is way up there in football channels.
In the 90’s the rules around foreign players in champions league were tough for English clubs as welsh, Scottish and Irish players all counted as foreign, you were only allowed a certain number of foreign players at that time, this crippled the 90’s united team for a while.

Premier league is not farmers technically because yes man city won a lot of premier league in recent time ( with Liverpool only winning it in 19-20). They are not as dominant in the premier league as lets say psg in ligue 1 or even juventus in serie a at some point. The point gap is not as large. Point gap between psg and second place have been huge like we are talking around 10 to even more.
that dosent makes it any less a Farmers league under the the standerts that prem fans set them selfs
Serie A has different winners on an annual basis. Points or not, it's not dominated by 1 team.
Based on the way that 'farmers league' is used by Prem-Heads all of the time, the EPL is currently a Farmers League. Hilarious poetic justice for their arrogance.
The most competitive league is Brazil...
Allsvenskan and Ekstraklasa are fairly interesting over the last few years as well with many different winners.
here i am a milan/serie a fan onlooking all this fighting between the other 4 top5 leagues. nobody ever minds us for whatever reason lol
Id say the premier league has more physically strong players and make more sprints but other than that it’s not much different other than maybe how slower they play in other leagues
good video!
Brother, it’s been out for 2 mins
English schedule is brutal. EPL teams got FA, Carabao, League and Champions/ Europa. Lower divisions got the same just replace Champions with that motor oil cup or whatever it's called.
Play the reserves and kids in the fa cup and efl cup
That’s what Fergie did
With the new club world cup and world cup, players injuries and fatigue will significantly increase
And then idiot football fans getting fooled by UEFA and FIFA and “save the football” from super league but more than happy to have 20 More maningless games each year cause it UEFA or FIFA who are in charge
in the best way possible i swear this guy has the exact same editing style as maqwell. i could just be attributing a common editing style to a certain guy tho which is dumb
Pep Guardiola is the only man I trust to determine which league is actually the most difficult between La Liga, Bundesliga, and PL
Lets make this channel blow up 🎉😂
The reason why Serie A being the best league in the world back in 80s and 90s was not all about the Champions League success. During the same period, there were at least 1 club from Serie A making through the now-defunct UEFA Cup Winners Cup and the UEFA Cup/Europa League Finals. In the UEFA Cup Winners Cup, the likes of Sampdoria, Parma, and Lazio won at least once. In the UEFA Cup, it's even better. Excluding the 1996 Final, which was between Bayern Munich and Bordeaux, there were at least 1 Serie A club featured in the Final between 1989 and 1999. 4 of those 10 Finals were an all-Italian affairs, although it wasn't until 2003 that an all-Italian Final happened in the Champions League between Juventus and Milan, who were the only Serie A clubs that had won the Champions League in 1980s and 1990s.
Also, Aston Villa lost to Olympiacos in the Conference League semifinal. Seems like the PL is the most overrated league in Europe.
In England everything cost twice as expensive, but it doesn't mean it's twice as good.
I don't think Farmers League means a league with teams struggling in Europe. Usually used to refer to a boring league where 1 single team dominates everything with no competition
France used to have the Coupe de la ligue (French league cup) in addition to the Ligue 1 (domestic league) and the Coupe de France (French cup)
Babe wake up, Dagnal Diagonal uploaded a new video
I wouldn't mind if teams in europe didn't play in the league Cup, winner gets the conference league spot. At least then championship tes can compete more for a trophy and there us a new team in europe every season, or at least a team that wasn't in the season before
The top 5 leagues are closer than most people think.
100%. Prem only fans need to read up about the Illusionary Truth Effect. The hard facts prove that they're not far ahead of any other top league other than in money and marketing. The past couple seasons of European Football prove this.
@@timidstein888 I mean yesterday we saw it again, unbeaten Leverkusen lost to p5 of the serie A, Atalanta also beat Liverpool before. You can't have a bad day against any first league opponent.
80s and 90s the seria A players were doping
That other leagues have a whole cup less and a winter break is not something set in place to get a competitive advantage in european cups. It's simply a historic thing. The PL does their extra cup purely out of greed. They also have significantly bigger squads to offset the loads. Overall it's kind of stupid to compare the different leagues with each other. Apples and pears.
Btw Madrid has 16 injuried player many if them key players, and 2 of them long term injuries being one of them the keeper that is one of the differetial players for them
The Prem has no talented players ; just players who good at hitting stats threshold.... The results in the uefa champions league proves this
It's not the best but the most enjoyable to watch. I can actually watch bottom league teams play and still enjoy it. Can't do that w the Laliga or BPL.
Farmer's league is basically leagues like Ligue 1 and Bundesliga. Where 1 team does not just win too many titles in a row but also has too much money and resources compared to the rest of the league. Teams like PSG and Bayern could change their coaches, sell half the team and still win the title. Man City has dominated EPL for the past few years but that's because they have the best coach of all time at the club and he's doing what he did in Laliga and Bundesliga. Man City without him wasn't winning 3 titles in a row and wont be winning after he leaves. Simply because there's 4-5 other clubs in the league, who have similar resources, the money and the pull to compete and outspend them.
im so happy it came Rome at the euros 2021, I wouldn't have survived the English twitter community
City, Liverpool and Chelsea have carried the PL in Europe for 10 years. Now even Chelsea and Liverpool are in decline and City are compromised by the charges hanging over them. The rest of our league can barely get beyond the last 16 of the Europa league or beat average German and Italian leagues. Our media employ mediocre pundits, low iq ex-players and failed managers who speak in cliches saying our league's the best in the world because a keystone cops game ends 4-3. Anyone capable of a broader view of European leagues and teams doesn't get a voice and our sports media only cater to the small-minded cliche spouting demographic of fans, on some radio outlets they prefer them to be slightly inebriated before they allow them on air.
English clubs have way more money and spend more money on players. They should be able to deal with the extra games.
The point is they are bad at spending their money and bad at building squads. They are tactically behind as well. That's why they historically don't do well in Europe despite the financial advantage, though they had more success recently than in the 2010s when their record was diesmal
Okay but we had more injuries than Arsenal
France has the coupe de la league, the equivalent of the carabao cup
Stopped in 2020
They had it, but not anymore.
1:14 Him not knowing England has a King now is so American.
I made this case thousand times since 2006 when PL fans star growing, bc for all the 90's child Italy and Spain where always the top tier teams, the thing is and i believe with my heart on it the lack TACTICS !!!
i know is a controversial topic, but follow me here, before europe change the status bc of BOSMAN LAW, then the leagues flooded europe with young talent from south america, that amount of pure, exquisite talent, technique, pass, dribbling, etc changed all of the dynamics of the game. The two Leagues who where the first to bring players from south where La liga and Serie A (Mostly bc cultural ties, almost everybody in wouth speaks spanish or some old grandads are italians), then the people saw real magicians in the field every single game, that forced to all teams to focus on full tactis to stop these monsters.
Premier League never has experienced any Romario, Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldinho, Kaká. Zidane, Baggio, etc multiple teams having multiple god tier stars and teams in your own domestic league for years... that creates a change in the way your own team grows. Then the english way of football: Fast runs, crossings, long shots, and physical streght. Has real trouble when faces styles like tiki taka or chaotic runs ,etc.
Every other league evolved to some kind of "mixture" of styles, meanwhile, UK as usual, they didnt look in south america, they choose talent from his older colonies: Africa. The English football and the USA MLS in strange fashion they "think" the game alike, they think the game as a endurance test, not like South Americans or Spain or Italy ( We see the game as players around spaces and times) the Anglo way es less refined: "We need faster and younger wingers, stronger defence, taller GK to make and absolute endurance beast we call a team" .... Meanwhile other see the football as beauty, poetry, art, opera, patience,etc " we run when needed, we attack when the rival is careless about space or when the time is set" thats why other leagues have less intensity but manage to win over PL teams, its bc of tactis.
Obviusly Klopp, Pep, Mourinho, etc try to change that style, but the England is very attached to his own tradition and historical style. Thats why the England always loose with the National Team, great players, bad tactis bc english "old school" tactis is truly outdated.
City played non stop since late march while Real Madrid played since what 3 games in april, and don't even think about their title challenger this year. The english FA is really that cruel
i personally think the prem is the best league not because it is better as it has the best teams in the world, but the competitiveness across the league is the most even out of the top 5 leagues. the most points between two teams in the league or 7 points and that's between the very bottom team, the relegation battle, then the top 5 teams currently in the league. every other league has more points separating teams which in most cases was the first place team. calling the prem a farmers league is only a valid argument if you consider their success in Europe which I think is only is only so bad because you cant take one team in the league easy or they will punish you.
That's simply not true.
I'd argue Serie A is more evenly competative. Four different winners in 5 years, the top 10 are all fairly even, and even relegated teams (like Sassuolo this year) beat Inter twice.
If we are talking european front , they are improving i mean last season west ham and man city won european cups. This season , however , have been abysmal . Man utd grouped while losing to a danish team 4-3 and guess what copenhagen is not even first in the danish league rn , newcastle got grouped even if they battered psg in their group , brighton got battered by roma , Liverpool got absolutely slapped by atalanta ( 6th in serie a btw ) , man city loses to real , west ham beaten by the might leverkusen. Only aston villa remains here. Lets not forget the best arsenal side in a while losing to the worst bayern team in the last decade. Yeah you got my point here
Gents my statement will not change, most ppl these days throw around the term farmers league and then disregard the quote on quote "farmers league' with little realization and knowledge about the fine margins that exists, the actual amount of competition, how good the almost unknown players or aka "bad players" and all the tactics battles going on in a games and I bet phone that 98% of ppl have not seen more than 10 highlights let alone watch watch a full game of a " farmers league" people forget about the Premier League and La liga because of their brandings and popularity in conversations and all the competitions they are involved in, I even know people that don't know more than 6 teams in la liga which is crazy, the word farmer league is actually just another way to insult the lower level of competition in other leagues besides the Premier League of course and you do have to remember that the Premier League more specifically the big six of the Premier League buys up great players from other leagues then either waist their potential or use them with no garenttee that their futures in their respective clubs will be sustainable and this long comment I typed should actually be considered every time a league or a player in a less financial fortunate club is getting disrespect or disregarded and majorly underappreciated.
8:03 what about united, theyve been in like 5 finals?
3 stats for sprints is crazy 😂😂😂
i think its 50% farmer league, i mean look at other clubs in PL who is in the same level as Man City ?
NONE
i mean you talked about something different here...
you talked about "is the premier league the best/ overhyped" also nice topic
but Farmers means something completely different
The scoreline dosent reflect the performance, against madrid city clearly played better but real Madrid ended up lucking out on pens, this isn't downplaying their win im just stating that city played better which they did
bro,didn't watch the West Ham home game...
How is a league better than others that has only one team winning it one after other, where clubs that doesn't belong to any of the fans spend millions and millions and barely make it in europe. Now they all are out including 115. Now what?
Milan had a squad that could literally dominate everyone
Balanced take
6:10 don't get this argument.
Roma are fifth in the Serie A table, and for the first Europa League tie, fielded a relatively healthy squad with both star players Lukaku and Dybala starting, the only big miss being Tammy Abraham.
Brighton are currently twelfth in the Premier League table, and are currently going through one of the worst injury crisis of the current decade. They were missing their star wingers Mitoma and March, the top Europa League goalscorer Pedro, and had to play with unfit fullback Estupinan, and many more injuries and fitness crises on top of that.
It was Roma's game to win.
Yes, but according to prem fans (like in that video) Brighton should have easily beaten Roma as they 'could win Serie A or at least get top 4'. Regardless of injuries, that statement is clearly stupidity personified.
@@timidstein888 which Prem fans? Pretty much all of us Brighton fans knew going into the match that we were the underdogs.
You do understand plastics and 'podcasters' with zero ball knowledge don't represent the majority of the Prem fans?
@@spinyslasher6586 I'm glad there are logical ones out there. I know it's not all, but it's a pretty overwhelming group of online fans and pundits who overrate the prem league.
None of the major European leagues are farmers leagues any more, especially now that Leverkusen won the BL….
The concept of a farmers league is really disrespectful, as people usually take it to devalue the average skill in the league. Meanwhile the PL isn’t exactly better than even the BL they just spend more money at the cost of real poorer fans.
German managers are so successful because they learned how to do great things on a small budget…
Let’s just respect each league for the things it is best at…
The farmers league called Bundesliga is having a rich harvest this year.
pl is the best league , but the extend lots of punits and fans seems this goes is insane. No westhame don´t opperate on the level of Dormund. also about the whole pl has so many games yes they do but on the other hand that silly shedule is want gives them so much power they could easly go the bundesliga route only 1 cup (btw the FA/DFB Pokal comperison is a bit unfair as the FA cup only starts in January for PL clubs while in the DFB Pokal every team start from round 1) 18 teams and a solid winter break. but then the revenue of the PL would probabyl dorp around 500-1000M would it be worth it probably will they ever do it nope.
Knockout football is massively different to league football and as Englishman when it comes to knockout football England are bad. This seems to extend to our league
Yeah Ligue 1 with PSG is not farmers league... They even can win the League with 1 hand and focusing in other competition... Others France clubs priorities money over trophy, doesn't care about competition, the real competition is to take 2nd in league and go to champions league to make more money and selling players of course...
In financial terms, PL is the first in the world.
In football terms, PL isn't the strongest league.
