I enjoyed the defeat of Chelsea at the Riverside...but still it was the presence of one of the big 4 that brought the performance out of Boro.

I do watch out for Roca now and then however, even if it's Boro against a 'smaller' EPL club.

Bolton v. Aston Vila just doesn't spark my interest though, even if they have some good players.

I look out for Newcastle too. They're just interesting to watch, so much money put in and so little results...

As long as we're getting viewers from somewhere

Watch West Ham, they play good football.

Our games in the UEFA Cup last season must have entertained you a bit surely?

Haven't mentioned Sporting, but it's great watching our young guns running the show.

Shoestring budget, still we have a damn quality side.

Yes i saw the goal against Barca, it was like an Arsenal goal in the 01/02 season but like i said "hardly" only that they scored that goal 2 weeks ago

Angulo's goal last week had a fantastic move in the build up and would have been another, had Edu not tried to be too cute in chipping the keeper.

@ Boro

Didn't really watch the Uefa Cup last year...after crashing out of Europe all together I wasn't really up for it.

I secretly was wishing Boro would crash out too. Still, I noticed the comebacks that were simply amazing.

However, I won't lie about being happy Sevilla took the cup; I couldn't handle you winning it after we beat you and fluffed the final...at home

Sevilla deserved, no doubt about that. They're a different class to us.

lol they were a different class to you then but now its somethin different!
Sevilla are like a top 4/5 team in Spain whereas Boro are fighting of quicksand to the Coca Cola Championship.... sorry

@Boro

Haha, I'll take that.

I unfortunately didn't get to watch the final, would've liked to, but I was in Honduras and missed it as I was pretty busy.

Did get a chance to watch the CL final while I was down there however. Plenty of Barça fans around.

Watch ITV now its Champions League weekley

Hey 'famous', you really are a WUM...

I have my nemeses on these boards, but it seems you're looking to get everyone against you.

Hehe, that final was something to forget quickly for the Boro fans. I was actually for Boro that evening, some of their fans asked me the road to the stadion......while they were in Rotterdam You gotta love those people, and since then I have a weak spot for them

I can agree with what you've said. It's a personal thing and who is anyone to tell us what we should find more appealing?

I personally like watching the Bundesliga from time to time, a league that many Brits find worthless.

On the same side, the EPL is touted by many as the most entertaining league around, and I can't be bothered to watch if the big 4 aren't involved.

The big 4 dont always play the best football

only seems that way because they are normally better than the teams they are playing against so have to break down a bus which is difficult in every match... the big 4 teams do play the best football and id even say they do so comfortably over the rest

there is a strong case for 3 of them, but the 4th

yep but u are just incredibly biased lrd... already this season liverpool have scored enough great goals to fill the goal of the season quota ourselves... add to that two of the greatest cup finals in history in the past two years and u don't have a very strong case at the minute with regards to liverpool

All boring games this season cotr......
almost all boring last year surely this is a good case
you are not biased? i dislike arsenal a lot more. some exciting ones in two years though, you can even remember them thank the lord they scored first hey

Its the scousers, mancs and cockneys you've got to be afraid of.

So they arent a different class to us anymore?

We're in a transition, we'll survive but only just, and we'll probably beat you this season, like we usually do.

Point at the riverside last season poops. More than any of the others in the "big 4" managed.

3 comfortable points at home too...

NANDO!

yep that benfica performance was a stunning display of football

I dont really get this attractive game thing , everybody says that Arsenal plays so attracting football , their football is good to watch but isnt everybody bored of the same type of goal they score each weekend.
Anybody watched Fulham against Watford that ended 3-3 I found it a very attractive game swinging one end from another and what they were playing route 1 football but the work rate of the players , their enthusiasm was delightful to watch , the goals they scored were not 25 passes together ones still good to watch.

Lyon, Barca, Bremen, Sevilla.

Yeah, it's a myth

I am not Anti Arsenal , I am actually a admirer of Arsene but if people say that likes of Bolton play 1 kind of football that is hoofball so do Arsenal , they just play one type of football.

hummm not really.. arsenal play the game 'properly'... bolton are just a set piece team... obviously arsenal's style is going to be classed as more attractive...

in tennis would you rather watch federer or roddick/phillipousis?

Isnt watching Federer getting boring , he's just going to win.

roma
sevilla
westham last season
werder bremen
valencia

Yes Barca are also so boring to watch cos all they do is pass, pass, pass....

This issue of arsenal playing boring football reminds me of the kaka> dinho debate. Someone started it and now everyone is saying it.

We do not play the same way as we did 2- 3 seasons ago. Most of our goals were from counter attacks, we hardly score them now. We never tried to keep the ball in midfield, we do that a lot nowadays. We no longer see those diagonal runs our wingers used to make into the box to score goals. We used to pass the ball faster. The only major similarity is : our game is still about passing.
