The reason why EPL is most ppl's fav league is not totally about the standard of soccer. In fact most argued that the spanish or italian league plays a more silky soccer then EPL. The reason why its so successful has got to be the English tablods. The more ppl wanna know about the team, the more ppl try to dig it up. As such more and more version of the stories come out. People also react differently to the news they heard. Players like Ronaldinho make use of their fame to chee hong and party. However there are also players like Paul Scholes who dun care a damn about whats going on and just concentrate on playing his own game. Of cos, definately media will be interest in ppl more likely to create news then boring players. Some people just like to socialise , to talk, to know more about whats going on. Thats the reason, blogs are read everynight, cos its interesting when ppl respond. Perceptions of a team is normally made up of one or two ppl who seems to be more active around. Terms like arrogant or friendly is also your perception of of a team. Even my perception of my team mates changes every month so what makes you think your perception is right ?So when you wanna attribute any remarks to a team, think again.
