My rag brother last night was furiously trying to convince me there was a massive gap between the CL and the EPL, so I agreed and said the Premier League is miles ahead!
At the end of the day it is a cup competition and cup competitions are sometimes won by the best teams, the league is ALWAYS won by the best team. When you take into account the fact that the best teams in Europe are in it you have to rate it above the FA and League Cups.
This hysteria the rags and dippers vomit out over this competition is a consequence of their history. Obviously with United it stems from tragedy, with Liverpool I think it stems from a deep rooted need to feel superior to our Stretford neighbours.
