This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

How could we rate it relative to competition? by mitquinn
I don't know the answer statistically, but the PL is not what it used to be from an eyeball check perspective and far too many top players spread across European leagues now.
Chelsea 04-05 still stands out in my mind as superior.
Seasons of 96-99 had the most competition among top 3-4 teams IMO. The best part about these seasons was the intra-week drama of the FA Cup before it became watered down.
07-08 was pretty amazing too.
