I admit to having watched match of the day over the past 3-4 seasons but I couldn't even have told you who won the league for the 10 seasons before that.
It always was the case that the English game had mutch better TV coverage, with more cameras at the game, better backroom staff etc. So it always looked far more professional.
In particular, I remember one cup final day in the seventies when we got all the razzle dazzle of Wembley, while at Hampden one of the two cameras covering the game focused in on a dog invading the pitch. *
However it has been a long long time since I saw an English game in it's entirety.
I had the misfortune to watch Leicester v Chelsea on Sunday, it was fuckin dire.
The 5 minute clip with the music afterwards was ace though.
* What ever happened to dogs invading the pitch?
Many a dull game brightened up by players chasing a mongrel around.
