We are shouting from the rooftops that the Premier League is the best in Europe after Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United made history by becoming the first four teams from one country to reach the Champions League quarterfinals.
At the same time there is a sense of relief in some quarters that the heavyweights of English football are not in the semifinals of the F.A. Cup.
