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.
English teams in 5 of the last 6 CL finals, including two finals with English teams playing each other & the current holders being English
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,Quote:

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