The EPL is not obviously better than La Liga.

Same way that the NBA is not obviously better than Liga ACB?

This can only be defended if you never watch the spanish league. Lack of parity doesn't mean the bottom 90% are bad.

Per team, La Liga (232mil), Bundesliga (228mil) and Serie A (226mil) are basically even. The average Premier League team has a squad worth 522mil according to Transfermarkt numbers.

Except for teams that just went up, Fulham's players are valued the lowest in the PL at 274mil€. That would place them #5 in La Liga, #8 in Serie A and #6 in Bundesliga.

Not all about €€€. That's some anglo thinking there. Pretty sure most poor ass shitty Spanish sides playing in Stadium Manolo would thrash Stoke or whatever.

Other "contender" Lens is even more comical.

Go up 2-0 to bottom feeder Brest and then somehow lose 3-2.

I'd think Lyon had a shot at UCL spots if they weren't an even bigger dumpster fire than those clubs.

Also you didn't even mention Marseille failing to qualify to UCL by losing to Panathinaikos.

Can't compare the comic relief of Marseille and Lens. Marseille is HI-LA-RI-OUS.

Marseille avoided further embarassment in Champions League, bailing out before the groupstages was low key a smart move for them.

KYLIAN!!!

Dembélé had like 17/17 successful dribbles in ~30 minutes, Ugarte another monster game. We only need two extra bodies to bury the spaniards down the depth chart.

Now i'm off to bingewatch twitter ****ing up Laurent Blanc

another great result by QSG today, but Luis Enrique hasn't fully implemented his style yet, he needs to get them up to 1500 passes per game to win against L'Oreal and Lavachequierit, let him cook.
