You sure about that? You forget that most of the hype surrounding the PL, and European football in general, is just that - hype. It's not played at a faster pace, quite the opposite. These pampered prancers wouldn't last 5 minutes if we went back to proper football. Pep ruined football and that's why we are all left yawning as it goes sideways, backwards, nothing on the flanks, nobody in the box. Boring and plodding as hell and they all do it.
