This year may be different but we've seen Spurs, Villa, Everton, all challenge one season then they're abysmal the following year.
In La Liga, Valencia are probably the team more comparable to us in regards to success and league position but they always have to worry about teams like Sevilla, Althletico Madrid and Villareal. We've never really seen that sort of threat in our league. For all talk about La Liga being weak, those teams could give any of our teams a run for their money in a match.
