Just got in and seen about Luke Shaw. Awful for the lad.
Have smiled about the Manchester results though.

23 titles in 15 years is very impressive must be said - as well as 3 major tophies at international level.
most of prem's best players are rotational players obtained from the big european teams i.e. sanchez, pedro, ozil. There's a massive gap between the top clubs, of course there is. but it's a better spectacle as a whole over the season.

week to week it's very unpredictable, but over the course of a season, predicting the top 4 has been anything but.

i dunno about that. Top 7 has been pretty set in stone last 4 or 5 years, but there has been chopping and changing in the last 10 years. All 7 have been up there, with newcastle and villa sneaking in at 5th.
When was the last time Real Madrid or Barca finishing 6th or 7th?

Well going back 10 seasons, Arsenal have been top 4 10 times,Chelsea 9,United 9, City 5, Spurs 2 and Liverpool 5. With City now firmly a top 4 club, Spurs and Liverpool have dropped out from top 4 contention.
I would say it's pretty predictable

don't know...but see my previous post for some top 4 PL stats.
Had to do a little digging, but Barca finished 6th in 2002-03.
In the last 10 years Barca and RM have finished top 2 18 of the 20 times. Each finished 3rd once.
It's a two team league.
When Chelsea finished 6th they were Champions of Europe.
Ultimately, I think arguing over which league is better is pretty redundant, as people watch football for different reasons
Someone might like a league because there's a particular team they like watching, or they might like the footballing culture of the country the league is in.
Quality of football matters to some, while unpredicatablility matters to others and tradition matters to another set of people
Basically, like what you like
If someone doesn't like the league you like watching, then that's just fine. Let them watch what they want to watch and you can watch what you want to watch. I've got a mate whose Welsh but he loves the French league and is a big Lyon fan. I might watch one French game all season, but he watches it every week. He has no previous connection to France, he just really enjoys the league. Each to their own
The "best" league is the one you most enjoy watching, for whatever reason it is that you watch

My turophilic compadre, all you have confirmed, wherein your statistical perambulation, is exactly my original premise : footballing'things'/outcomes are very predictable...
...but thank you for your hugely insignificant contribution.

... so Spain's predictability lessens England's
... no disrespect, but I think you're entirely missing the point

If you only did the stas over the last 3 years you'd say it was a 3 team league.
