Hold on... Kwasnik is making a 'great comeback from injury' ?

What is your source for these two pieces of info?

EPL doesnt have the best 4 teams in the world. Otherwise they would have the champions league more often than the rest of the world. Which they dont. They have 4 of the richest. No doubt 20 of the richest

I meant 4 of the best teams of the world as opposed to 2 each from spain and Italy (maybe 3 as Roma aint goin bad lately) and several other teams from smaller leagues (lyon etc.).
I dont think EPL is as even as La Liga. La Liga has teams that regularly go well in UEFA cup which is a signal of the strength of La Liga. EPL has more of a gap between top 4 and rest of league IMO.

Yeah. la liga is certainly a stronger league all round.
Hard to pass up barce and real as strong clubs either

yeah it seems to be consistently in this order

The top 4: (Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United)

The upper middle tier: (Everton, Tottenham almost always but not always sometimes Newcastle, Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Man City)

The middle tier: Middlesbrough, Blackburn, Reading, Newcastle, Portsmouth, AV and Man City

and the strugglers: The rest

The point is the premier league is almost always destined to be ordered in this way

Back to this kwasnik thing... i never knew he was making a great comeback from injury?

what is the source for the spain info?

Well, regarding Kwasnik

He was in stellar form for the first few games of the season, then he did his calf muscle in the 4th or 5th round and was out for 3 weeks or so, when he came back he wasnt so good but slowly got back to his beginning season form, this could be what he is talking about but thats just a guess?

Yeh I know about that injury, but the fact that it is a GREAT comeback from injury - there was no GREAT comeback for Kwasnik, really. Makes it sound like its Nik Mrdja or Matt Osman...

Telegraph today said that Josip Skoko will turn us down to get more $$$ overseas. we're currently offering $400,000.
Also says we're on the verge of getting MacAllister.

No doubt about Kwassie, he truly is the biggest enigma in the HAL.

The boy can do things that few if any other players can do when he's on and tries some of the most audacious things you'll see on a field from an Australian player anywhere in the world.

When he is off, he is pretty ordinary, but when he is firing look out. I thought he was probably the best player in the league for the first five rounds.

His style of play should be encouraged and it's a shame more players aren't like him.

He's still young and if and when he finds consistency he can and will be a Socceroo.

He's obviously a favourite of Lawrie's and he's one of my favourite players as well.

Im glad you mentioned he was your favourite player marinersman. I wouldn't have been able to tell otherwise. :p

He is good. No doubt. Vuks reckons he hasn't even reached near his potential. I am assuming he was referring to both what he sees at training, and what he expects to see from him in the future from a team mates perspective.

In that order??   Not likely pal......  :p

i didnt mean that order i meant the order of categories. I myself despise Arsenal and hate Chelsea and Liverpool. and can only really stand Man U. I just put them in alphabetical order
