    Self called "Greatest League in the world"

    The English do like to trumpet their League as the best League in the world.

    I'd have thought a prerequisite for that title would be their teams doing well regularly in Euro competition.

    However this year at this early stage they have few teams left across all three competitions.

    Their record in the Europa and Conference has been poor for a "Greatest League in the world"

    Remeber too, a while ago, when Aberdeen were doing Scotland proud, there were no English clubs in any Euro tournament.

    Aye but where have the 'so called' lesser teams been in the lower competitions. England laughs at Scotland having only 2 teams but they, ten times bigger, have only six and even then, despite dropping down competitions when getting kicked out of one, have an abysmal record in the lower competitions,

    Do you mean apart from winning two of the last seven Europa Leagues as well as having two finalists in that same period and winning one of the two Conference Leagues?

    Apart from Spain (almost entirely due to Sevilla) any country would be happy with that abysmal record

    Aye, apart from that. With them being as good as they think they are they should be doing better
