Predictable End of Season

Don't you think it is getting a bit silly that for the forseeable future in ALL of the major leagues in Europe, the end of season league table will look like this.

England (Pick One from ManU, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal)

Spain (Pick One from Barca, Real Madrid) with Villareal, Sevilla or Athletico fighting for third

Scotland (Pick One from Celtic or Rangers) with everyone else 20-30 points behind

Italy (Pick One from Inter, AC, Juventus) unless the owners cock up and get caught again

France (Pick One from Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille)

Portugal (Pick One from Porto, Benfica, Sporting)

Only Netherlands and Germany seem to have any interest in breaking up the cartel in each country.

I don't think this is very good for football and just how exactly will any of this change. Man C don't seem capable of buying success. Villa did their best to break in and have spent a lot of money but seem to have returned to business as usual.

I am in no way saying that sports over here are better as clearly they are NOT, but every year it is impossible to predict with ANY accuracy who will win NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL.....

The Yankees have failed miserably at buying success.

Any thoughts or comments?

I agree, the top leagues are too predictable, compared to the NFL for example which has 2 different teams in the SuperBowl practically every year.

But this for me shows they do have some good points that we can learn from. For instance, a more even distribution of money and therefore competitiveness.

Very rational answer kev! :clap2: i would love to see more of an even distribution of money, as there seems to be to big of a jump in-between the championship and the premiership. The majority of the prem and the top four. Things are becoming to predictable up at the top, whereas in the lower leagues things are far more unpredictable. We are living proof of this!

This will all end next season when Sheff Utd/Burnley (delete as appropriate) break into the top 4 of the premiership.
