[@Maxim89Il]

I highly doubt those teams look at it like that. In England, there are way less glory hunters, and more support a team organically based on community and closeness. For example, West Ham fans. They haven't won any league titles in their whole history, but they have some of the proudest and coolest fans out there. They really don't see themselves as a "smaller" club than Chelsea or Arsenal, they see themselves as West Ham. Period. I think they could argue, however, they won the '66 World Cup. And by the way, I'm a Sunderland fan! I'm not saying it because I support West Ham or something. Manchester City have a similar case! They never saw themselves as in the shadow of Manchester United, they've also like the fact their support was more Manchester-based and felt very local. Also, why would you be jealous of United titles when you have Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr amongst your fans.

[@lprgeddes2017]

Poor knowledge about Espanyol. They have won the Copa del Rey 4 times not once and they didn't win it in 1941, Valencia did. They have won it most recently in 2000 and 2006. They also have reached 2 UEFA cup finals, the most recent as close as 2007. They also have 11 top 5 LA Liga finishes. These aren't the no hopers you make them out to be. Great club, great stadium, rich tradition.

[@l2v65]

My Rant: Even as someone raised in London I'm tired of people writing off every other league because there's a team who dominated it as if Manchester United haven't won 13/27 (1993-2019) titles which is just shy of 50% coming at 48% with two back-to-back titles and two triple consecutive titles. From 1993-2004 only two of today's big 6 won a title with Arsenal winning 3 (1998 and 2002 title was separated by Utd's first triple consecutive title). From 2005-2010 once again only two winners with Chelsea being the other. Only from 2011-2019 can it be truly said the Premier Leauge is an "anybody can win it league" with Utd (what a suprise), Chelsea, City and Leicester winning it. With Liverpool finally breaking their curse in this recent times (I'll use 2016-now) you can only 2-4 are truly contending for the title with it eventually becoming a two horse race or in this season's case a two horse race with other horse trailing behind. Only 6 clubs (Utd, Blackburn, Arsenal, Chelsea, City and Leicester) have won a title since the inception of the English Premier League with Liverpool being the 7th. Admittedly the Prem can look and is more competitive based on that factor only when looking at other league's winners from 1993 (e.g. Bundesliga, La Liga) but not all. Ironically Ligue 1 (the same league most call the "Farmer's League") has had the most diversity in winners (10, more than any other league) with dominance of the title only coming twice with Lyon 7 consecutive title run and PSG's which we're currently in. No league can claim 10-6 of the clubs are true title contenders every season, most can only have 2, 3 occasionally and 4-5 once in while as we've seen with the 19-20 Bundesliga (as it stands on May 28th 2020 4 clubs are in the 50 points range with 2nd and 5th only having 4 points between them and 7 points between 2nd and 1st). If England's "Big 6" was a Big 6 shouldn't it be as tight as that with only the Big 6 clubs in those positions. Football is football things like this are inevitable. A period of dominance is inevitable and no matter how long it lasts it will end. Quality can be found in the most obsecure and/or lowest of leagues (e.g. Kante from Ligue 2 to the Prem). I'm just tired of the ignorance.

[@mcfcfan1870]

0:10 not a "long way". Yes manu have more trophies but in reality United has only had maybe 53 years at most as the top club in Manchester out of the 109 years of rivalry, with mancity with 56 years.
