The reality is simple: if, as a player,u are not in Spanish, Italian big boys or Bayern- Premiership is still the place to be. I'm not taking anything away from Bilbao or Sporting, but drawing a comparrison of leagues' strength from 2 games between teams is silly. For example City are contenders in EPL, but got KO'd by Sporting, who in turn are 4 th in Portugal and have no chance of going any higher. So does that mean, that Portugese league is better than EPL?
the reality is simple. People have been saying epl is the best league for years and years without any proof at all. the point that the 7th placed in spain beat manu twice, both away and at home ( something no team in the epl is capable of ), is more proof than epl fanboys have ever had.
saying a league is bad simply because it contains two teams that are miles ahead of any other team is just as silly
