Arsenal lost 1 and drew 1 in 15 games in 2024.

Crazy that City still won it.

You have to factor in European performance as well though. The last 5 years has seen City, Liverpool and Chelsea win the Champions league - the only other clubs to win it in that time are Real Madrid and Bayern.

City alongside Real are the best side in the planet. But the rest of the English league stands up well in Europe. Germany are better than they are billed and Spain are good.

Italy are having an incredible year and never were a farmers league.

Outside of those 4 leagues though the rest are mostly shiete. France has 2 euro trophies total, ever, Spurs have 3. Belgium, Scotland, Holland, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe - all farmers leagues these days because of the disparity of wealth

I think what shows the the PL is stronger than other league is how teams did in European competitions. PL teams didn't go very far which shows that the league they are playing in at the weekend is just so tough that they can't perform in Europe. German and Italian sides have done well in Europe which shows how weak their league is that they have easy weekends so can be rested for the midweek.

This season has been very poor tbh....Really poor to the point of seeing certain clubs occupying places they would never have had the season was not this poor.

People don't think City have been on it this season but I think it's their longest ever unbeaten run (as CL was technically a draw)

We need to have United winning it 9 times in 11 years again to show it's not a corrupt farmers league

Well, it is Barry logic after all.

I don't think its a farmers league. There is competition to City there. Arsenal came close this season. Liverpool.have on a couple of occasions. I'd put both those teams in a higher calibre than the teams trying to compete with PSG, Bayern etc by comparison.

You joke but it is true, we leak goal after goal but are the 5th best side in the land.

4th placed Villa just got dry humped by faaacking Palace

Liverpool weren’t very good this year either - bosh 3rd

It’s not a great league

Gap between 1st and 2nd
French league - 9 points
Spanish league - 12 points
German league - 17 points
Italian league - 19 points

In the last 10 seasons the French and Spanish leagues have had 3 different winners. German league 2 different winners. Italian league have had 4 different winners, same as the PL in that period.

So despite City’s dominance, the PL is still more competitive than all the other farmer’s leagues in Europe

The two teams in the PL are better than the respective 2nd & 3rd teams in both Germany and France. The PL title race is often closer than the more processional Bundesliga, obvs exception this season and last, and French league 1.

If it was City win the league every season, everyone else miles behind, then yeah 'farmers league'
