Why the premier league is more of a farmers league then the Bundesliga

[A thread]
First off, what is a farmers league? Well here’s a quick definition...
First off, the main criticism the Bundesliga has, is the defending. But surprisingly, there’s more mistakes as well as less defensive intensity in the premier league.
Secondly, despite the premier league being worse defensively as we just saw, there’s also less goals.

Maybe I’m not drawing the right conclusion here, but I believe that just shows the Bundesliga is better offensively then the premier league as well. Also look at the top Scorers
Another reason the Bundesliga is deemed a farmers league is due to Bayern winning 8 years in a row. But shouldn’t this kind of consistently be respected, it’s not exactly easy...
But also, in the last 15 years, there have been 4 different Premier league winners.
In this same time period there have been 4 different Bundesliga winners, so maybe the competitiveness isn’t that much different...
In conclusion, if you consider the Bundesliga a farmers league, you might as well consider the Premier league a farmers league as well. If you compare the two, it’s much closer then most people would think.
