A Quote by Andre Villas-Boas

I think, in the Premier League we have a situation where contacts happen more often than in Europe and the direction of the attack changes more frequently from one team to the other.
Of course the Premier League is the most difficult league in the world because it's so even. I think you can't really compare other leagues with the Premier League. In the Premier League, every team can beat every team, and in football, that's something where you can have surprises.
It is more difficult for any coach to work in the Premier League than any other league. You can lose or win against any team.
It's why the Premier League is watched so much all over the world: because it has more pace and more physicality than in any other league.
Jelavic improved massively going to the Premier League. He was great for Rangers, but Premier League is different: faster and more physical. He is perfect for the Premier League, has everything to succeed.
The Football Association have always acted more as a referee than a governor. And the FA, aware the Premier League provide players for the England team, have always had too gentle a hand on the tiller. The result is that the Premier League are the tigers in the English football jungle everybody's scared of.
I won the most important league in Europe, I think - not just Europe but the world - the Premier League.
I wouldn't call going into the Premier League an ordeal. I would say the Championship is more of an ordeal than the Premier League.
When you play in the Premier League, say you're playing against a lower-end team, they set up to defend all the time, they set up to block you off. But when you play in the Champions League, all the other teams are used to winning every week, so it's more of an open game, it's more attacking, end-to-end.
Man City are a top team, but there are a lot of top teams in this division because the Premier League is the best league in Europe.
There aren't many Asian players in Europe or the Premier League, so that's more attention for me.
The England team shouldn't be picked on whichever players are in the Premier League when you've got a Premier League player playing in the Championship.
The Premier League is a competition that suits me, which is perhaps more praise to myself. It's more direct, more rhythmic than Ligue 1.
Obviously the leagues are different. The Premier League is much more competitive than the Dutch league.
In the Premier League you get the feeling they give you a bit longer to sort out problems. They are more understanding and, most importantly, owners of football clubs don't think they know more than managers.
I have to remind Arsene about his team, which used to win the league, that was the dirtiest team in the league. If you cast your mind back to when they were winning the league, they had more seedings-off and bookings than anyone else.
I went from Chelsea to Fulham - two Premier League teams at the time - and was sitting on the bench for the Europa League and Premier League and you don't think it is going to finish.
