ORIGINAL: Saltire Put the Germans into your argument then. Strong league, good football, entertainment, good value for the supporters and low costs. Also they are still in the mix in Europe also, a damn fine league if you ask me. Not using boaby's criteria. They don't often win European trophies, therefore shit. And Chelsea are still in the mix too. You're quite right. I did say "the most entertaining league in the world" was shit. No, wait, I didn't. No, but you implied it was inferior based on the number of European trophies won since it's inception, did you not? How does saying it's not the best league in the world equate to saying it's shit? There's a chasm in between those two descriptions. My pet beast in not a cat therefore it must be an elephant. Nonsense. Inferior to what? Inferior to its claims for itself? Absolutely. Ridiculously so. Inferior to a few leagues in European competition? Definitely. Especially if you tried to compare the ratio of money spent to trophies won. Technically inferior? Definitely. Inferior at producing domestic talent? Definitely. International football proves as much. Given the fact that the EPL spends what must be the budget of a small nation every year in fees and wages then winning 2 European trophies in the last decade is dismal. Sevilla won that many.
