Agreed Zander, I've been a ManCity supporter since 2010. As an American, you grow up playing basketball and baseball, I didn't touch a football (soccerball) growing up. Yes, I called it football, that's what the rest of the world calls it, and so do I, LOL. But when I watched my first match against Liverpool and I fell in love with Yaya Toure and it was a wrap. Been a massive fan ever since. Thanks, StuntPegg for this video.

Gotta love English fans trying to finesse their way around 'It's not a farmer's league' when they've been bashing other leagues for having the same champions with ease. The PL is definitely the strongest league in the world (mainly because teams below 4-5 are MUCH, MUCH more competitive than in the other big leagues), but this is no reason to look down on La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A or even Ligue 1.

[@juanaltredo2974]

in terms of entertainment, there are oceans of distance between Pl and the others you mentioned, but in Europe italians this year, and spaniards everytime they play an English team, are better than the PL. So if I want to see something for fun, I watch the PL, but I know everytime a Spanish team plays an English team, the Spanish team will win 9 times out of 10, so despite my love for the PL I cannot call other leagues farm leagues when the supposed english dominance isn't reflected on the pitch in europe

[@dipthongthathongthongthong9691]

Farmer's league doesn't refer to repeat champions. It refers to the suggestion that one or a few teams are dominant bc teams in the middle and bottom third of the table are made up of "farmers" who have second jobs aside from football, and thus can never compete. There is more parity in the premier league than the other top leagues. Serie A with Juventus no longer the prohibitive favorite, is the next best I'd say.

The Prem is by no means a Farmers League, but neither are many of the leagues that get lumped into that category. Teams have periods of dominance, it happens, and it's possibly going to happen more often because of the very capitalist nature of the way most leagues are structured. The place you'd think it would be least likely is Germany because of the way the Bundesliga is structured, yet it still happens. I certainly don't think the Spanish & German leagues are "farmers" leagues as they've been part of what I would consider "the Big Three" European leagues of the past decade or two. The Italian Serie A seemed to go through a quiet period after financial collapse, but is now bouncing back. The one that has really not seemed competitive is Ligue 1, yet even there Lille won recently, and they've actually had the largest number of different champions (8) across Europe's Top Five leagues since the turn of the millennium.

The Premier League has become and still is the most prestigious league in the world mainly because there is consistently better funding down the pyramid than other European leagues, so all teams compete when they get to the PL, plus the English game is also quicker and stronger, which gives it a unique attraction worldwide, but if state ownership starts to creep in and exorbitant money starts to be spent by two or three clubs, then that could easily take the gloss off and in a few years you're may be looking at a meh, so-so league, just like any other. It'll be up to the FA and the PL to work that out.

Several things to point out here: 1. As a non-supporter, you were still able to get a ticket for the game they were crowned as champions. How??? 2. And notwithstanding the above, City could still attract crowds of 30,000+ when they were playing in the third division just 23 years ago.

@John Evans they also stated they did nothing wrong in 2020 as well when they were handed a 2 year uefa ban. They ended up getting out of it on a technicality. The statute of limitation was the only reason they were not charged. So they have been cheating. They just hid it very well. It was found out to late, so they were not held accountable.

Great, balanced perspective on City and the fans. Thanks for your work Nieve, you do an excellent job.

[@Adz2]

No it's not a one club league, as Gary Neville pointed out City have won 8 out of the last 12 seasons, before that United won 9 of 12, teams become dominant and then drop down the order, a one club league is Germany where Bayern won 10 in a row or Scotland where Celtic have been dominant for the past decade

[@isak2209]

bit deluded to think city wont win 4 or even 5 leagues in a row until pep leaves, which no team has ever done before. It's as much of a farmer's league as the bundesliga at the moment, we just haven't had enough time to see it.

[@staycasual7203]

7 out of 12 actually……ffs

[@StoutProper]

@@isak2209 so it’s ok when Utd won 9/12, that’s not a farmers league, but if City win 7/12 it is? Ok pal

[@JC-xq2qe]

I would still consider that a one club league. Doesn't matter who's doing it, one club is still dominating the league.

[@SaintPhoenixx]

@@StoutProper City did it by breaking all the rules, it's worth considering. I get your point but half of that team shouldn't be there with all the financial fuckery they've been doing. Haaland cost way more than was stated in the media and that money didn't come from selling tickets. It's more okay when United dominated, rival fans weren't happy as always, but it wasn't as much of a scandal. They were legitimately just a better club with better players and a better manager etc. United had to contend with the Invincibles and Mourinho's Chelsea as well as City, people forget that. It's not like United won the league every season by 30 points and never lost a game like Sheriff Tiraspol do, they had tough opposition that held them off a number of times. Liverpool have done it once with the best team they've ever had, with a tiny margin of points, but otherwise no team can cope with City's infinite spending, dodgy deals and infrastructure. City have 3 different starting XIs that could win the league, have signed players using financial fuckery and it's just a given that they'll win the league. How can any team compete? Teams did compete with United back in the day, Arsenal and Chelsea did. Who, next season, can possibly outdo City? And how, without just spending a trillion buying the FifPro World XI. City are like Celtic at this point, yeah this will come to an end and they'll slip up once or twice and cause an upset, but it doesn't mean it isn't boring and predictable. I'm going to bet money City win it next year.

[@loxford011]

Another great video Peggy!

[@ExileOnDaytonStreet]

5 of the last 7. The other two seasons, they finished 2nd and 3rd. Yes, the league as a whole is far more competitive than pretty much any other major league on the planet (although that speaks more to how dull the other leagues are), but it's hard to deny that the Premiership has been completely dominated by City.

[@liamcasey6135]

Why say 5 out of seven when it's five out of six aha? Weird to count the one before the five as well

[@leopold7562]

5 of 6, really. But the trophy count is only a tiny part of the story. Only one of those five titles was won in any way that could be considered dominant, and that was 2018, when we bagged 100 points (and only just at that). In 2019 and 2022, Liverpool ran us extremely close, 2023 we had to come from 8 points behind to overhaul Arsenal and in 2021 we didn't hit the top of the table until March. Not exactly dominant.

6:07 When Alex Ferguson (he never dominated as hard as city has done for the record) was around, the PL was absolutely not "the greatest league in the world", no. Serie A had that title during the 90s and 00s, followed then by La Liga. The PL today IS absolutely a one club league. 6 years, and 5 league titles. What else do you call it?

[@isak2209]

6:33 The same goes for Bundesliga. Bayern has won 10 straight league titles, which may or may not change this season. If you take them out, it's competitive and tough. That does not make a difference, it is still a farmer's league. Just like the PL.

Bizarre to see everyone praising oil barons coming in to give billions away in pursuit of buying football, but that’s what English football is now. You need a tycoon to compete and it doesn’t matter where the money comes from or what the long term consequences are. Teams used to become dominant off their own merit.
