With respect to which league is better I am biased and should view more games in the other leagues to formulate an honest objective opinion. I only atch El Classico (sic) and Inter , Juventus and AC Milan or Roma.
I was reading from a website lately that gave the crowds at different leagues throughout Europe. The Bundesliga won hands down. They get great crowds in all their divisions primarily the top flight of course. If I find the link I will post it.
One final comment/question. When I was really young I was a huge Chelsea fan. The era of the UEFA cup and FA CUP (When it was great). Any other fans out there that supported Osgood, Tambling, Webb, Chopper Harris, Hutchinson, Hudson, Bonnetti (the Cat) and others? I'd love to hear. I believe some of these men died. They could only be in their sixties, but many are gone.
Sad.
