    For some weird reason i am finding the title race of i-league and EPL similar at this stage....looking at some similarities between teams in run...
    East bengal been considered the strongest in the league so is man city in EPL with both teams having matches in hand which could play crucial part in their title run...
    Bengaluru FC and chelsea are having similar slogan and jersey and could be said and one of envied side in the league for their short term success we may say...
    Salgaocar fc and liverpool fc are former champions who many though were looking out of sorts in earlier seasons had their new managers giving the club a huge push for the title
    Pune fc could be called our Arsenal who as always got close to the title but when it mattered slipped in the race (i can imagine how pissed @Arsenalkid700 would be reading this )

    and SCG could be considered our everton who normally not close to this pack had been hugely impressive with their spanish manager..

    Lastly Dempo are our Manchester united who struggled to maintain their reputation of top side after managerial change this season..

    i wish i would have called mumbai fc as southampton of india but cant :(

    Interesting parallels, except I disagree with salgaocar - Liverpool comparison as Salgaocar has recently won an I League.

    Mohammedan Sporting can be related to Tottenham Hotspurs. Both have Religious following.

    United SC can be related to Cardiff City. Nabob da and Vincent Tan-ambitious owners.
    :P

    So no Cooperage Ground. I-League website confirms that Mumbai FC game will be held in Pune. Shameful indeed. They just used the stadium for charity match for Ranbir Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan. For that they have stadium ready. For I_league, Cooperage Ground not ready.

    someone shud complain abt this to FIFA...

    Once upon a time Mahindra United was also considered Manchester United Of India! You can't compare a club of less than a year old with a centurian club like Mohun Bagan, East Bengal etc. Just like you can't compare a young child who is to be feeding milk with a bottle and his great grand father.

    Pune is Arsenal. The similarities are to good. Recent example could be my other club, New York Red Bulls before they won a trophy last season.
