my personal opinion is, English league's club are more or less as strong as each other, apart from the usual leaders who is a bit better than the rest. Spanish League on the other hand, i feel theres still a big gap between top and bottom teams. Barca and Real madrid are by far the two top teams and even before the season starts, the contest is open to those 2 only. the table speak for itself: La Liga's leader is 15 points above the 5th spot (Europa Cup position), while in English the lead is only 7. leader of English League is 12 points above 10th spot (half of table), in La Liga it's 22 points.
But that doesnt mean the bottom club of English is better than Spain, or Barcelona and Real madrid pwned English league because they pwned other spanish teams. cant superimpose them since they are different, 1 is speed and strength, the other is possesion football. Dont Forget english teams used to be like that too, top 4 is well above the rest, and only recently the gap is reduced.
That said, i still like watching English league because the commentator suits me. The English commentator knows what they are doing. other league, main problem is language barrier and even if there is english commentator, that guy is alone or doesnt understand the spanish league well. Im not a fan of "GOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL GOLGOLGOLOGOLGOLGOL" either. Not saying it is wrong, u like it but i dont. Personal preferences. IF Barca were to play in English League, i dont think they will trash the whole league as they did in Spain. But i also dont think they will struggle in the league, definitely wont be like what Gray is saying. they would be challenging for the title but there will be more struggle, like how the top English teams are struggling now. Barca aint stupid, if their tiki taka cant break down english defence u think they wont change their gameplan? they have enough quality to do so.
at the end of the day, no point arguing. when in the same league, my club > your club. when different league, my league > your league. If someone a guy who supports Boca Juniors come in and say his club is good, all of us will say European > South America. If somehow somewhere an alien from Mars comes here, we will ALL say Earth > Mars.
yup.. but the least comparison can be made definately is from CL matches. from there i think most people would some kind agree that EPL is tougher than LALIGA
then as u mentioned the gap clearly from current league standing itself.
