How many points does PSG win by?

30?

Sounds fairly accurate. The only leagues I'm concerned with are the EPL and LA Liga. Even though there are a ton of sucky teams in LA Liga, we have a great chance for a close race coming down to the final week or two between 3 teams as we had last year. The EPL is always a toss up. Never know who is going to win

No argument there. The Bundesliga might have the best teams from 1-10 out of all of Europe, but their #1 is so much better than the rest of the league, that it also becomes unwatchable.

I still love France, and the French team so I'll be keeping up with it and hoping/praying that PSG somehow do not win the league.

I'm a front-runner fan in soccer. Ligue 1 PSG is my CL team and St Etienne is my EL team. LA Liga my only team is Barca. Bundesliga my favorite overall is Bayern Munchen and EL team is Leverkusen. EPL Man City my CL and Norwich my promotion/relegation club. Serie A Napoli and AS Roma.

I don't know how you keep up with all of that.

Not as ardent as most people but I check occasionally.

Losing Ibrahimovich probably cost them at least 15 points for the season. That being said, Nice is playing pretty well. and I think Balotelli finally found a home, a place where he's not under constant scrutiny from the media and fans.
