Was wondering if the state of last years top 7 is an indication of the quality of the league or it's lack of quality.
Not decided.
Probably a bit of both. None of the top teams, including Chelsea, are as good as in previous seasons and the lower teams are not cannon fodder like in the past.
There is not such a big gap between top and bottom now, probably due to the new TV deals giving teams much more money which had a greater effect on teams with lower budgets than those at the top who already had lots of money, imo.
And it`s what make`s the Premier League the best to watch at the moment. Since the demise of Liverpool and latterly the Rags it means the predictability has gone. A team at the bottom can take points off a team at the top. The days of the same old top 4 have now gone and the league is better for it.
