Yet far less clubs have won the Premiership (since its creation) than have won the European Cup.
Football existed before Sky. I like to call it "Barclays League Division 1". The fact that football in this country is now run in an absolutely shit and unfair manner where only a few teams with massive finance can hope to succeed is pretty relevant to us having only a few winners. But i'm sure the greedy chairmen who formed the premier knew what they were doing making sure that only about 4 teams would play better football and the other 16 were left working out how best to survive. Their answer, by the way has been to ask the fans to dig deeper into their pockets and exploit their loyalty.

European Cup is far greater in status and in bragging rights btw - you have to beat top top teams to win it, and there's far less margin for error than in the Premiership. It's a very different cup competition to say the FA Cup, where you might not even meet a premiership team til the final (hello scummers). You have to beat top sides all the time in Europe - in the prem there are maybe 4-5 top sides, 6-8 decent ones and the rest are either crap or just shot of confidence.
