Just another English club being superior to a continental one.

Wait until next week to make a proper assessment.

Why? In the last few UCL seasons and this one English teams have proven to be better then their continental rivals mainly due to the way they play the game. It's going to take more then one game of Inter getting over Chelsea to change that.

Arsenal beat a pretty poor Porto side and Liverpool got knocked out in the Group Stages. The only team that's looked really good is Manchester United.

No doubt you played well, not denying that, but Porto are average at best.

As i said before, it has just been this season, it will take more then one season to change the fact English clubs have been superior to continental clubs in recent time, simply look at the semi-finalists and finalists, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal are always there.

Porto may have been weak, but Arsenal took advantage of that, good teams do that. Liverpool have been terrible this season, but in seasons before we have outplayed most of our continental opponents, including Barca one of the only clubs that have gotten over English clubs.

Not denying any of that, but these things go in cycles. At the turn of the century it was Real Madrid dominating, then it was AC Milan and there was even a season where three of the four Semi Finalists were Italian, now, well in recent years anyway it's been the big four of the Premier League.
