I'm sure cultural and historical considerations play some part in *some* people's perceptions of what is the best league but they don't play a major point in *mine*.

Having followed the Serie A for 20 years or so now, I naturally have come to understand some of its history, familiarity with its club etc, and for sure these add something to my appreciation of it. However, this is not the primary reason I enjoy the Serie A.

I have also followed the English and Spanish game for a similar length of time. These were the only leagues that I had opportunity to follow closely on TV. The main reason I prefer the Italian and Spanish leagues over the English is really two fold. First, the style of play and approach to the game was more to my liking. And next because for most of the time, my favourite players and hence my favourite teams played in Serie A and or to a lesser extent in Spain, though since the turn of the century both Spain and a little less, England has caught somewhat.
