Surely this makes Serie A this season The Best Ever League EVER, if we're going by the yellow and green classification?

I'm one of the people who was blamed for getting Paul Cook sacked. PM for the full post.

Didn't it drop off a cliff a decade or so ago with the corruption scandal?

...Think Juve got relegated as a punishment didn't they?

Big financial problems for clubs. Mainly loans and youth teams. Juve are the exception to the norm. I think it will continue for a while yet.

Tommy, my man, the trick is to invite discussion or perhaps have a bit of fun, rather just just post some random stats about a league we no longer care about.

I mean, I understand you are a man that loves a good stat, but add a bit of a human touch and you'll do fine.

The big clubs have a really strange and often poor transfer strategy.

There is not a lot of money in Italian football and the likes of Inter, AC Milan, Roma, Lazio have all failed to have a proper strategy over the last decade - often having poor managerial appointments which barely last a season, buying very poor players and wasting lots of money on older players who are on the way down.

That is why Juventus have been able to pull clear and dominate.

My second team is Atalanta, so I frequently watch the Serie A, and overall it has become a poorer quality league. There is still some talented players sprinkled around, but the likes of Lazio, Roma, Napoli, Inter and AC Milan have all fallen short of Juventus.

It has shown more this year though, when a team like Atalanta have competed right at the top end, as sensational as they have been, teams like Atalanta never used to lace the boots of teams like Inter/ AC Milan, now they are genuinely competing alongside them.

Watching Atalanta over the last 2-3 years has been far from boring. Should be great games in the CL vs PSG

When their players decamped to other leagues to earn more money

And when Berlasconi was stopped doing things which are not generally allowed in other countries.

The Prem is not that different really. If one team is allowed to buy any and everyone it wants to, then it will tend to win everything.... though for some reason Man City let Liverpool escape this season.

Evergreen Champions League revenues protected for the top clubs, FFP lifting the drawbridge on the already select few and the ability to poach the best players from the rest of their league/Europe.

Add in some creative accounting around free transfers and swap deals, and you'll see why all of the major leagues are becoming very close to closed shops at the top.

We are genuinely quite lucky in this league that whilst it's a closed shop (Leicester triumph excepted) that it is closed between 4-6 clubs.

Every clubs first ambition is ensuring they make the CL every season here - for Bayern, Juve, Barca, Madrid, PSg it isn't even a consideration that they won't
