Athletic Club is comparable to Spurs. I don't think I am being biased?
In the same way that a team like Everton is comparable to a team like Villareal. Look to the bottom of the Premier League.....there's lots of teams there who could be high flyers in La Liga.
I don't see the point you're trying to make tbh. Spurs have proven they're a top side.
I don't think I understand well. Villarreal is miles ahead of Everton. Who does Everton have whom is better? Perhaps Fellaini would be a welcomed addition, but just him. Perhaps Yobo as well. Arteta might make Villarreal's bench.
Spurs haven't proven jack shit, aside from two Inter victories.

Why not? Bumlicking aside Everton are a team with quality players and just beat a quality team last night too.
It's not really any worse a comparison than Spurs - Bilbao......
"Big names" won't win you anything.....obviously Villareal are doing well right now but then again so are Spurs (in comparison to Bilbao who aren't doing that much....). In a one off game Everton could beat Villareal and it wouldn't be like climbing a mountain...
Bilbao could give Spurs a game but then again most Premier League teams would give 90% of La Liga a game too.....it's just pointless trying to come to a conclusion like "zomg Bilbao finished 8th but Spurs finished 4th and Bilbao are the same so La Liga is obviously better".
Obviously it's hard for Bilbao to do "much" when their standard of league is soo much better. Spurs wouldn't be getting championship football if the EPL had 4 teams near/at Arsenals quality, and two teams on top of that of Real and Barca's quality.

Their line-up is far, far, far superior. Villarreal are a champions league standard team, Everton are a Europa League, if even, standard.
You can't use results from 5 years ago to prove a point now......
Villareal just lost to Getafe recently.....who are very comparable to Everton. Like a said.....a one off match...the favourite doesn't win every game otherwise Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd, etc would win almost all their games....yet they don't.

of course everton could beat villarreal. grimbsy town fc could also beat palermo on a certain day. but is all about which is more likelier to win and of course villarreal is obvious
Well tbh Spurs would be the favourites against Bilbao. Spurs with a full strength squad can beat anyone. The results they've gotten this season indicate that they have more ability than Bilbao...consistency is the problem for Spurs.
Disagree. Spurs wouldn't be favorable. Like I said, when comparing squads, they are even
if I was being biased in favor of English teams. Otherwise, I would predict Bilbao to overrunning the midfield and have Llorente ripping apart Spurs defense, while Spurs struggle in the midfield, Face Iraola in the wing, and have to beat Amorebieta, Gurpegi and De Marcos.
I'll favor Bilbao in this matchup.
