did anyone honestly believe it would be anyone other than the 'big four' (sorry... "perceived" big four according to man city) occupying the top four spots in the league this season?

arsenal were always a chance to go either way after the summer they had, but the second spurs undermined jol to the extent they did, this season was pretty much done and dusted as far as CL places were concerned.

EPL just looks boring now.

retired_Fit

Those stats all not a million miles away from each other really. Depor poking into the stats there otherwise 3 different champs as well.

retired_ecmoore

it looks like, in la liga, that at least theres a bit of unknown below the top 2 who are more likely than not going to be either barca or madrid.

there are 64 spaces there and only 15 teams filling them. in serie a and EPL only 12 teams.

i'd be interested to see the other teams average attendances below the top 4.

are they going down?

Sociedad with Xavi Alonso in the side. Had a good team for a bit
