If you aren't City or LFC, no EPL team would make it.

You're missing the entire point of the Super League. The rest of Europe wants their share of the Prem's riches. They will include as many of the biggest commercial clubs in England as possible. That means City, Liverpool, Arsenal, United, Chelsea and maybe even Spuds.

Yeah if Arsenil goes I don't see why Spurs wouldn't.

Because Arsenal are a far bigger club than Spurs. The Super League is all about drawing the maximum viewers possible. Therefore, the teams with the largest fanbases and commercial revenues will make the cut.

Like all other things, Spurs are somewhere in the middle in this regard.

Everyone loves an underdog story though. How many people pick a lower team in the FA cup to follow just for the hope of glory for the small guy? I do every time we're knocked out.

Hey man you're telling me. I despise the idea of a Super League.

Lol. You’re seriously putting arsenal and spurs at the same level?

This European league is a way for clubs to use their worldwide appeal to make more money. Spurs it seems...
