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.

that is your opinion, the Germans and trust me I know many have all said the Premier league is much better, that is their opinion though from the Dutch, to the Germans, to the Aussies, to the Chinese all think the Premier league is the best league.

Now you watch the league as we all do but yu have a different opinion to everyone I know or meet including Germans who are fed up of just a couple of decent clubs always winning.

Your last paragraph shows why you don’t understand what what we are saying and what football is about, you stated Barca has done this and win that.
That;s the point, it’s always a two horse race in Spain

Italy LOL, the league is so corrupt, it’s not about which clubs are big though only a couple are today.

I’ve been in every country of those leagues watching football and the best thing about the league is who will win it and how they play.

Arsenal, Spurs, United, sorry but only the Johnny come lately call it man u, Chelsea, City, maybe even scouse if they ever get a decent manager

Germany,. Dortmund Bayern

Italy, corrupt, waste of time no wonder players want out.

Spain two horse race

Scotland, LOL

Dutch, two horse race usually

France, Yawn PSG is now a one horse race because of their money.

Portugal, LOL divers at the next Olympics

Like I’ve said Ive been to every big ground in Europe, all those countries watching football and you are the first one I know of who has said the Premier league is not the best but then again you have your opinion
