Is the Premiership getting boring? And some suggestions to help

[topher]

Everton and Villa are capable of getting into the top 4! they both had a chance this season. Everton started the season badly then got hit with injuries. Villa seemed to lose the plot when there record unbeaten run was ended.

yes there's a class gap between the top4 and the rest, but some teams can make a match of it! everton played chelsea 3 times this season and got 2 draws, which isn't too bad

The only interesting games seem to be between the absolute top-dogs these days. More money either needs to be directed to the mid-level and lower premiership teams so they can begin to step-up, or the whole English system will need to merge with the Scottish so as the top Scottish teams can help challenge for the title.

We do not see the likes of Chelsea vs. Rangers or Liverpool vs. Celtic nearly enough, and it's not as if geography is a problem here - we're all on the same island.

Scottish teams would get annihilated in the Premier League. Apart from Celtic and Rangers most teams would struggle in the Championship. Even the big two would find it difficult to obtain a European spot.

Besides, I don't think the prospect of playing Celtic and Rangers really appeals the average pl supporter that much.

Yeah it is. It'd end up with a pile of crap teams from random leagues who no one would care about like Brondby etc at the expense of the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, AC Milan, Real Madrid etc.

Just like the World Club Cup is no one would care as much

And we'd get to see those teams beat the hell out of each other in the UEFA Cup.

Instead we get the system we do, where teams bum around all season in their respective leagues in order to concentrate on European progression - and they can because nobody will break the dominance.

Plus it's hardly a "Champions League" with Liverpool and Arsenal in it. I don't want to take a stab at either team because it's not what the thread is about but Liverpool haven't been champions for decades now, and the Arsenal dominance was broken a few years back.
