    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Spain and Italy are both higher quality leagues in depth than the EPL IMHO

There are only 4 real quality sides and the rest are either just surviving or hoping for a cup run.

Look at the EPL teams progress in the UEFA cup, once the "big 4" are taken out of the picture there is v little quality left.

I understand your point, but Spain and Italy are rather similar in that sense though.

Look at Italy, it is pretty much always Juventus, Roma AC and Inter Milan that dominate it and in Spain you have mostly Barcelona and Real Madrid that dominate. Yes there are some teams that are up their such as Villareal in Spain, but really in all of those leagues, there is an entire different level of class seperating the Title chasers and everyone else.
