even the Germans I know feel the Premier league is better and open to more clubs winning it and fighting for Europe.

I watch/follow both, and the EPL is not the best in the world. Its one of the best, and it was the best for years, but the German league is now the best, has been for the last 4-5 yrs, and to be blunt, other leagues such as the French league are fast catching up on the EPL. The Dutch ‘Eridivision’ is a damn good league as well. And Serie A is always good to watch and its major clubs are still European powers: Juventus, AC, Inter (2010 CL champs)....half the Serie A are some of the biggest clubs in the world: Roma, Lazio, Napoli......

And La Liga is NOT just two teams. Since when were Athletico Madrid (who slaughtered Chelsea in last year’s Euro Super Cup 4-1), Seville, Valencia small clubs?. All three are huge European clubs.

Look at Spanish success: Barca have been the best team in the world until this season, for the last 5 yrs. The 2012 Europa League finalists were both Spanish. The winner of which as I said trounced CL champs Chelsea and meant Spain had all three major European club trophies: CL, EL, Super Cup. Bilbao were 2012 finalists.

sorry, but take away Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and you arent left with much to write home about. Most of the EPL are frankly average teams. And most or at least half of the EPL arent big clubs.
