Good. Hopefully next year they all lose in the preliminary rounds. Group stage of they get in that automatically

It really is shit, the Premier League. The whole “best league in the world” spiel is Sky nonsense to make everything either “the best thing ever” or “the worst thing that’s ever happened”. It’s all dramatised nonsense when it reality it is pretty crap to watch.
It’s crap to watch. They bang on about these big games being so great and they inevitably end 0-0 and they’re absolutely f***ing honking and had it been a game outside of the Premier League, people would be honest and say it’s shit but we have the “best League in the world” narrative.Crap to watch?
I’m sorry like, but that’s nonsense. I can get on board with just about every other critique of the Premier League - the money, the inequality, the ripping off of fans, the unfairness, that its quality is overhyped compared to other leagues like Spain. But crap to watch? It’s not crap to watch and this season in particular has not been crap to watch. The football is fast, direct, entertaining and very dramatic.
It’s a lot better to watch than any other league. Better than Championship football. And better than other leagues.
I genuinely can’t see how a fan of football the game, rather than the circus around it, could disagree. It’s why it’s such a lucrative global product.
BAd night for PL, good night for England. Thats Rice, Saka, Foden, Grealish, Walker & Stones not risking injury or over exertion in 2 or 3 intense CL games. The only English players left are either unlikely to go to the Euros(Sancho, Dier) likely to rested in the league leading up to the CL games (Kane) or an absolute monster who could probably play 3 games in a day (Bellingham)

Definitely, it’s not even up for debate. We take the piss out of the jock league for always being a two horse race but we’re no better down here except we have a slightly bigger pool (due to more teams) being in the same horse race year after year. The sheer greed and financial situation, matches messed about for tele and probably a load of other things I could list, makes me believe the Premier League is a bit of a cesspit tbh albeit a cesspit with lots of money flying round.The premier league is dull as ditchwater. I genuinely mean this, the championship, even if not as high quality, is far more entertaining and enjoyable.
The ChampionshipShows we are not
If you look at the European comps over the last 10 years there is little evidence the the prem is the best league in the worldShows we are not
