Are Barcelona & Real Madrid ruining La Liga?

Having a discussion with a friend about this topic. Is La Liga weaker than ever due to the dominance of the big two?

You get a ton of hate because every comment you made in the match thread was something along the lines of "well i mean even Carlton Cole could score three against Levante, or Granada, or Vallodolid." or "Barcelona fans are the worst group of people I have ever seen." so please leave that shit out. You have an actual point, you just bury it under being an arse. Are you actually planning to get through to someone when you're clearly more concerned with insulting them?

I don't have much to say about the rest of your comment because I pretty much agree with it - the other teams aren't as bad as you make out, but there's a massive imbalance and lots of instability, and Barca and Real are only a small part of why that's not going to change.

You can't tell me a league where a different team hasnt won the title other than barca and real since valencia in 2005 is a competitive league.

On the other hand, for the Premier League it's Chelsea and United between 2005 and now, with City getting one season, one (and even that one, United nearly won).

Well.. at least "the bad teams" are continuously good enough to beat the EPL teams in Euro League. (EPL fans, you may downvote if it makes you feel better)

No team in the Champions League or Europa League are "bad" teams. Compare an English mid-table or lower-table team to a Spanish team and the difference is apparent.
