No one is doing clearly and consistently well. City and PSG are probably the only two looking real good at the moment. City especially.

We should have every chance to win it this year unless Bayern, Madrid or Barca suddenly get real good again.

City haven't matched up with a real team for the whole season. Watch how they'd fare against Bayern, PSG, etc. I'd bet on them losing.

We have a chance although we need to improve as well

Stupid logic. Let’s not forget Leicester won it two years ago, a healer last year, and now most likely City. A different winner every year is what shows how competitive the league is.

no, it shows how inconsistent the top clubs are, Chelsea wins, finishes 10th, wins again and now will finish 4th probably. Leicester won because all the top clubs were shit at the same time, they had 81 pts (in the last 7 years, only in 15-16 was that enough for a title), United, City were at 66, Liverpool 60, Chelsea 50, Arsenal and Tottenham had their standard year at 71 and 70 pts. Leicester story was great but no way they win if even one of the top clubs have their standard year and not suck so much.

besides, whats a stupid logic is what you use, different winners doesent mean a league is competitive, just inconsistent. BL had a different winner each year between 2006 and 2011, was anyone thinking how competitive it is or that Bayern simply had bad years when others won? Chelsea had 7pts over Tottenha last year, and 15 over City. thats not competitive. Leicester had 10 over Arsenal and 11 over Spurs the year before. again, not competitive. Chelsea had 8 over City in 14/15, 12 over Pool. again, not competitive. Competitive is what Serie A looked like last season. Juve 91, Napoli 87, Roma 86. top 3 within 5 pts. or what it looks like now (assuming Roma and Lazio win the prolonged games), the top 5 all within 2 pts. another example is Ligue 1 last season, where Monaco and PSG battled it out until the end. thats what a competitive league looks like, not one that has different winners each year because teams are too inconsistent

EPL is not competitive at all this season. Different winners entails lack of consistency. I guess by that logic, the NBA isn't competitive because it's been Warriors vs Cavs for the past 3 years. Baffling logic, or lack thereof.

City are 11 fucking points ahead of their nearest rivals, and we're only in December FFS! How is that a competitive league? I guess if you're going for the definition of "competitive" as teams slugging it out for the honor of being runners up, then you do have a point. :howler:

Pep's City shows how overrated EPL is. They were lucky in CL, considering most of them played in EL level groups.

Their best team is City and yet to face with a top team. We will see their real level vs a top team.

Their mid and low league table teams are much weaker this season, because teams like United, City, Liverpool weakened teams like Sou, Everton.

Are you sure about that? Lol. I've watched inter this season and they are not that impressive they are benefiting from not being in Europe. No way are they better than any of the prem top 6.

Pep's city would also dominate serie a which is a weaker league. What city are doing this season is absurd it's not the norm. They've even got a better record than psg who play in the French league

Leicester would prolly cruise to the title in italy, repeating what they have done in the strongest league in the world.
