So is it?
Not even close!
A league with a small elite group who win everything, a couple of wannabe pretenders and half a league of also-rans just there to fill out the field.
Virtually all, but the elites, are losing money hand over fist despite the huge TV income.
The elite clubs buying up the best English youth prospects and virtually paying them not to play and instead filling their squads with foreign, superstar, prima donnas.
Followed by a bunch of armchair fans who have never set foot inside "their" club's home city, never mind their own stadium.
"Best League in the World" - f*ck off!
If by 'best' you mean quality of football, then no, no it's not.
People saying about a lack of quality lower down in the Spanish league and how it's only in England that 'anyone can beat anyone' are rather misguided to say the least.
Spain have the big there, but look past those and there's not a great deal more really.
There was 17 points between 3rd & 4th in La Liga last season, there was 17 points between 3rd and 7th in the Premier League. The chasm in La Liga is greater than in England, I think the "anyone can beat anyone" statement in the EPL stands up.
