Most money, best performance over the past few years in Europe, great attendances, great players.
The only way Spain is ahead of England is in players because they have the 2 best in the world. Our league is way more competitive.
The Maestro wrote:Are you serious? Marginally higher attendances do not prove a club is better. For example, Al Ahly get attendances of around 75,000 per game. Are they better than Tottenham who don't get half of that?
75K is the capacity of the stadium and we only fill it up for CL matches and important local matches.

Nope. And I hope you get cancer.

Ahly the league as a whole is more competitive, not jut the top. But to focus on your point, a competitive league doesn't have to have different winners. The competition just has to be better. Even if Man U win this season, they've still had more competition than the top 2 in La Liga have had.

The way I see it, only ManUtd and ManCity are realistically fighting for the title. Barca and Real are the only ones realistically fighting for their title. Both leagues always have two clubs every year that are realistically fighting for the title.
The article mentions that that is only one way of measuring competitiveness.
GARY Hooper has reiterated his desire to remain at Celtic and help deliver the club success over the remainder of the campaign. Speculation has mounted of big-money bids being tabled for the prolific striker during the January transfer window.
But the Englishman, who made a goalscoring return to the team on Saturday following a groin injury, insists he’s happy in Paradise and firmly focused on football matters.
Speaking exclusively the official Celtic website, Hooper said: “I’m very happy. I’m back playing now and scored at the weekend. It was good to be back in the team.
“I don’t want to go anywhere. I’m a Celtic player and very happy here, winning games for Celtic and we’re two points clear at the top of the league just now. I’m just focusing on football - training, playing and scoring goals – that’s my job.
Celtic’s 2-1 victory over Dundee United at the weekend was their 11th successive SPL win, preserving their position at the league summit.
However, the 23-year-old stressed that no-one among the squad was looking further ahead than their next fixture.
“We have to take it game by game,” he said. “Our aim is to win every game and perform like we did in the first half and parts of the second half on Saturday. I think we’re performing well and scoring goals, so it’s looking good."
Hooper plundered his 16th goal of the season against the Terrors with a typical clinical finish following good supply work from Anthony Stokes. That strike put him one ahead of the Irishman in their duel to finish top of the goalscoring charts.
Although that raised a smile from Hooper, collective success remains his overriding priority.
“I’m back in front by one, but we're both here to score goals, and the main thing is winning games,” said the Hoops hitman. “I’m enjoying my football,” he added. “I had a little groin strain, but I’m back playing and Stokesy and I are linking up well.
“He set me up at the weekend, and Victor had a great header as well, and we got the three points which is always the main thing.”
