Yes, but I didn't just gauge the league on how we did. Haven't you thought to yourself as the seasons draw in, just how bad the league and title races have become?
There are a lot of talented young players in this league and some teams with good vision, but due to their inexperience those teams are hit and miss, inconsistency is obscurity and it's basically become a second rate league waiting for overseas clubs to come and pick up the likes of Pastore, Alexis, Ilicic etc. So the likes of Palermo and Napoli fall again, the standard decreases more, and the old 'four sisters' are scrapping with change to try and stay competitive at CL level. Even reaching it is a problem for us.
