Because our teams challenge each other every season.

Liverpool fighting with Man U and Chelsea not so long ago. Arsenal are often fighting towards Feb/March. Chelsea up there most of the time, Man U always up there.. Man City joining them.

Stick Barcelona and Real Madrid in place of any 2 teams in the Premiership and they'd be 1nd and 2nd easily.

The Premier League has always been between two teams.. late 90's to early 00's it was just United or Arsenal for the title. From 2005 to now it has only been United and Chelsea fighting for the title, with the exception of Liverpool in 08/09.

Real Madrid would struggle to keep hold of a CL place. Messi would end up having his leg broken so Barcelona wouldn't be certs for the title.

Also,Valencia are top of La Liga now. I could argue that they'll put up a stronger challenge than Man City in the Premier League.

I said I could argue. People are saying City will challenge for the title when we're only 5 games in. What the fuck is the difference?

Don't agree with that, they're just unfortunate to be playing at the same time as this Barcelona team.

The squad is exceptional, would've won the treble this year if not for Barcelona.

They are boring to watch as well. Can't wait for them to flop again in the CL.

Yes. The other La Liga sides are no worse than the top EPL sides.

It's just unfortunate for them that Real Madrid and Barcelona >>>>>> Every other team in the world by some distance.

That is what us people that follow La Liga have said many times but the majority of the EPL bumboys don't understand.

It is not the fault of Manchester United that they are playing a superb brand of football, that just happens to be a lot better than what the rest of the league are able to offer.

It's not Reals & Barcas fault that the past season they were just ahead of everyone in Europe had to offer, not just La Liga, Europe I said.

Gotta love the Barca and Madrid "fans"(who probably don't even come close to speaking a lick of Spanish) have to constantly make these "2 team league" threads about the Prem...La Liga is shit, and will NEVER have a winner who isn't Barca or Madrid from here on out. Simples
