Thats the kind of arrongance that makes me not a fan of the premier league and never will be. Am just waiting for the day when the 6+5 rule is forced and then we'll see how crap the EPL is really is. Thanks to the foreigners who made this league what it is today.

after liverpool, arsenal, chelsea, and man u, there are shitty teams in england too.  yes, those goals were mainly scored on shitty defensive plays, but dont simply think that all of Ligue 1 is terrible due to these goals. Also, a large portion of the talent in the epl comes from france. dont overlook that before you attack the league

He's allright, but not world class defenders he plays against. He couldn't make in The Premier League.
