Our Beloved Premier League

Is it becoming a two-team league?
We always ridicule the SPL and La Liga for being two-teams league but let's look at the facts just for once about our Premier League.
The last 7 years in the "best league in the world" there have been only two teams that have won the title. Manchester United and Chelsea.
Yep , that's 7 consecutive years either of United or Chelsea lifting the trophy!!
Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind at all if Man United were winning it every year ( which we pretty much do anyway ) , but it's just a little astonishing that in a league blessed with so many big clubs - or so we're told ... - it seems to be becoming easily predictable and dominated by just a couple of clubs.

Think this year is liverpool's year. Henderson, Carroll and Downing are going to be In-Xavi-Mess.

just like the last 20 years have been "their year"

City could break that barrier. Plus you have to take other things in consideration. Like Chelsea were bought by Abro for their spell, now City going through that spell.

It makes me laugh when folk say it's becoming a closed shop, look at how many team have won the prem or old first div, it's not many. United 19, Liverpool 18, Arsenal 13, Chelsea4 , Everton 9, Leeds 3, Blackburn 3, Villa 7, Preston 2, Forest 4, Derby 2, City 2, Ipswich 1, Spurs 2, Burnley 2, Wovles 3, Pompey 2, Sunderland 6, Shef Wed 4, Huddersfiled 3, Newcastle 4, Shef United 1, so it's not a massive list.

Look at Italy and you see AC, Inter, Juve, and the odd few others, the same in Germany, Spain, France, Holland. Football it the saem wherever you go; most the same team win it time and agian with the odd team winning it every now and again.

It's hardly like the SPL, where the same 2 teams break away very quickly and have comprised the top two at the end of the season for almost every year for decades.

Aye, the SPL at least has 2 teams fighting to the end, the crushingly dull EPL always has the title decided by March!
