showing yourself up again. Valencia are a big club, traditionally top 4, La liga IS as good as the Prem.

The statistics would tend to suggest otherwise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tition_winners

As I suggested in a previous post, the skew in La Liga towards the two Madrid Clubs and Barcelona is massive. Fair do's though "Spanish clubs are the most successful in UEFA competitions, with a total of 61 titles, and hold a record number of wins in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (18), UEFA Super Cup (15), and UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa league (12).[9]" (Quote from Wikipedia), but.......44 of that number were achieved by those three I mentioned.

There are 13 English clubs with a claim on the table, sharing 43 "credits".

(You could say the same about Italian clubs, given that their 47 credits came via 11 clubs, and Germany, where 10 clubs were able to achieve 31 credits)

Point being, yes, there are some super clubs in La Liga, but the standard drops considerably once you get outside the top 4, whereas in the PL, (and Serie A and the Bundesliga) there are successes from clubs throughout the table.

Oh and by the way, Valencias average end position since the last time they won La Liga (in 2003) is 6th.
