Just having to find different angles because you were ignoring the posts made in reply to your hilarious Championship claim.

You accept then that La Liga is a solid, competitive league - so let's address your other point about the massive difference to other leagues.

This year, Real Betis were playing their third consecutive season in Europe - and will be in European competitions again next season too.

In the Europa League, they lost home and away to Rangers, away to Sparta Prague, and got bounced into the Conference League, where they lost to Dinamo Zagreb in the first knockout round.

Villarreal lost to Panathinaikos in the EL GS, and got knocked out by Olympique Marseille.

Sevilla failed to win a CL game in a group containing PSV and Lens.

Osasuna didn't even make it into the Conference League group stage after failing to get past Club Brugge in the playoff round.

Yet while all that is true, four other Spanish sides topped their CL groups.

Then you get United finishing below Danish and Turkish opposition. Fwiw, Copenhagen cannot finish higher than 3rd in Denmark and may even drop to 4th.

Villa, your 4th CL qualifier this season, lost home and away to the 3rd team in Greece.

Liverpool and Brighton losing conclusively to teams on the fringes of CL qualification in Italy.

Every year that PL clubs don't achieve what you THINK they should, you make excuses for them.

But according to your own logic applied to other leagues, if there are many, many, more years where you underachieve than those where you achieve*, then isn't it because you are comparatively overrating one league at the expense of the others?

*PL clubs cannot overachieve, because they're the best and the default setting should see them winning all the time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let’s look at it this way shall we fella:

France have won 2 Euro comps ever - PSG and Marseille, and Marseille were done for bribing the ref afterwards

Olympiacos are the first Greek side to ever make a Euro final

Ajax aside, you would have to go back to the 80’s for a Dutch side to have been in a CL final

Scotland - 3 euro trophies in their history, that’s the same as Spurs

Portugal - I put this league a rung above, it has 3 sides that are usually very competitive and I do rate this league

Belgium - nothing, absolutely sweet FA since the 80’s


Portugal aside, these are farmer leagues

United are schitt - that’s not an excuse it’s a reality. Yet they’ve been in a Euro final more recently than any Dutch, French, Portuguese or Belgian team

Can anyone on here dig out a single comment anyone has made about La Liga being schitt or a farmers league?

Over a 20 year period they have dominated, since 2019 it’s swung back to England, but they are Europes 2 top leagues with Germany and Italy slightly behind. It’s the rest of the leagues that are absolutely pap bar certain sides
----------------------------------------------------------------------
there has been loads of them in regards to Kane joining a farmer league and diminishing his performance levels over there in a farmers league. go find them yourself!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am saying they don’t exist, you’re saying they do, therefore it’s up to you to prove they do as I cannot prove they don’t.

This is pretty basic

Who the faaack has ever said that La Liga is a farmers league - I don’t believe anyone has seriously said this

I still don't get the reasoning behind the new format. I presume it can only be to increase revenues, as it's clearly got nothing to do with the sporting competition.

Baz, the shot at glory is just one part of the equation. Madrid also pay massive wages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The reason was to ward off the super league. They had to find additional places for the top leagues and provide additional sums. Hence now why it’s 8 group games - the smaller sides benefit from the additional revenue and therefore don’t kick up a fuss that 2 further sides from the 4 elite leagues will participate

If you're talking strictly under the CL denomination, it's actually more than all the PL sides combined.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a phenomenal trophy haul they have. Still have them as the biggest and most successful club on the planet, no matter what the social media fans counts and bank say. There’s a reason the very top players still go there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, who are these fans that say different?

Why is how good a league currently is based on a team winning a trophy in the 60s?

There are much better measures for determining how good a league is. Fan experience, atmospheres, competitive matches, entertainment, rivalries etc.

Not sure TV fans would understand this though.

You find the PL the most exciting because that is where your team play. You don't enjoy other leagues so much because you aren't invested in the same way.

If you were a fan of a Turkish team, I am pretty sure you'd find that league the best.

People losing sight of what makes football great. Although they are mainly TV fans.

No that’s fine, it proves my statement, no one on this site has previously called the Spanish league a farmers league and the statement made by yourself previously was wholly and entirely inaccurate.

I am happy with that outcome

tell us more about how you think this current Norwich would be euro qualifiers if they played in Seria A.

Olympiacos are the first Greek side to ever make a Euro final

Wrong. Panathinaikos played a European Cup final.

Moot anyway. I subscribe whodunnit's initial point: that the differences between leagues are heavily overstated. At the top pro levels, you drop your performances levels 10% and you're very often facked.
