No, we are an English team, so we play in an English league. End of.

In a super league might be a better question.

Re: Would Arsenal be better of in Spanish League?
What kind of 'question' is that?
For something so absurd you should at least provide some kind of reasoning.
I'm assuming it has something to do with, in fact, I'm not going to assume anything since that would require some effort on my part where you put in none.
Anyway, the answer, no matter any qualifications to the question, is unequivocally, undeniably, and emphatically "no".

Re: Would Arsenal be better of in Spanish League?
I think what HollandGooner is actually asking is "would Arsenal's style of play be more suited to playing in La Liga?"
in that respect, the answer would probably be yes..

Re: Would Arsenal be better of in Spanish League?
I agree with USArsenal. I think HG was getting at the style of play. Don't think he deserved that reaction!
My answer would be no. I think what makes Arsenal stand out in England is their ability to play a relatively continental style of football effectively in the English league. I think if they moved to a league where the style of play was more similar it owuld be harder to excel.
Obviously Arsenal have good enough players and manager to adjust to that but I think it owuldn't be as easy.
But it's completely hypothetical so I'm probably completely wrong, but we'll never know!

Tough. That's not what the 'question' says.
Either way it's still an absurd exercise in thought and a continuation of this La Liga infatuation.
Makes me miss the GG days.

Cant imagine many Spanish teams going for the ankles. So yea, our style would be better there. But we shouldnt have to have this kind of discussion, which is sad really.

I thought so too but then I remembered our performances against Valencia and Deportivo, albeit with a totally different team.

Depor and Valencia were capable of passing English teams to death back then.
Times have changed.
We'd batter most of La Liga now I think.

Re: Would Arsenal be better of in Spanish League?
That was ages ago.
Anyway, I agree with Stevo just because we pass the ball around doesn't make us a Spanish team and our present style of play is more than capable of achieving success here. Once we sign a proper goalkeeper...
