The Fergie Wenger era is still the best, the hatred and animosity and the battles on the pitch are still the greatest in the PL era

On balance I'd say the Premier League's best days are behind it. There's no doubt that the rise of money clubs like Chelsea, Man City and now Newcastle has created interesting narratives, but there's also been a growing disconnect with the fans, and as a neutral outsider looking on, the only reason your league is of any interest at all this season is due to the possibility of Arsenal winning it. Otherwise as a product, for all it has features which on the surface should add to the excitement, it's a weirdly dull league.

Agree with a lot of in the OP, there’s a very good chance the next few years could well be three or four horse races at least.

It’s difficult to judge these things. Between when Mourinho arrived to Ronaldo’s last season at Man Utd was perhaps the PL best era. Many English teams were making latter stages of the CL as well as 3rd spot achieving 80 points on more than one occasion. Since then, PL hasn’t hit that level. Maybe with City and Liverpool in last years it raised the level but others lagged behind.

This narrative gets predicted too often btw. Until I see that 3/4 teams are challenging at once, it’s just another theory. There’s way too many factors.
What I will say is that Pep and Klopp have taken their respective teams to levels previous PL haven’t managed for this long. In terms of football and the style, these two have played the most dominant era. Wenger & Fergie was definitely better for overall package.

Doesn’t need that to happen, look at Boehly at Chelsea.

None of it matches Clough vs Revie, and then Clough vs everybody

Best chapter? More like bank chapter, basically what it’s been reduced to.

Hope Leicester City 3-1 Arsenal to make the title race interesting.
