Real Sociedad boss Moyes: Premier League POOREST in years

Real Sociedad boss David Moyes is unimpressed by the quality of this season's Premier League.

Former Everton and Manchester United boss Moyes believes failure in Europe has exposed declining standards in the Barclays Premier League.

He said on BBC Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "It's not been too long ago where we were looked at as probably having the best teams, and it does change.

"Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal are all exceptional teams in their own right and they'll be disappointed they went out, and maybe on another day they'd have gone through.

"It's just becoming a wee bit of a habit that we're not getting our teams quite as close to the final as we had in the past.

"I think this year you'd have to say it's probably the poorest Premier League I've seen in a long, long time.

"Maybe we do go over the top and recently we have maybe talked up the Premier League more than what it's actually been. There's other leagues which are certainly now comparable."
