Or has football suddenly become ever so boring?
I've really lost enthusiasm for it. I totally agree with the Chalton manager. The likes of Chelsea are totally destroying the sport with their millions.
Naturally it is not a new thought and it is often criticised. That there is more to the sport than money.
But look at the affect Chelsea have. They are mainly a defensive team. Prevent the opponent scoring and hope to score a few. Many other teams, including the likes of the England international team, are adopting this new defensive approach. But this is ripping the heart away from football.
Champions League final aside I cannot really remember the last football game I REALLLY enjoyed.
Is it about time the FA and UEFA imposed a "transfer cap" to prevent clubs with the billions running away from the rest of the league.
With the likes of Chelsea in the premiership, what chance does my team, Leeds, have of regaining their former glory... what chance does Newcastle have of winning the league?
I just hope for a few surprises in the premiership... because the Championship is a much more interesting place to be.

So, scrapping a 1-0 away win against QPR excites you does it?

No but the Championship as a whole does... 60% of the league are in with a good chance of promotion!

Well considering Chelsea have basically won the Title anyway (games in hand or not, Liverpool are still 13 points behind already), I would say that some big money transfers are good, but Roman's limitless funds have made The Premiership a far more boring league than it was a few years ago.

Have you watched any of Chelsea's games?

I've found that too. Not sure it's Chelsea spoiling it (just yet. give it a few years), but I've lost touch with the enjoyment.

Not just Chelsea though, the teams that are copying chelsea in a vain attempt at competing.
The rest of the premiership should just play attacking football and Chelsea will then be the spoil sports of the division.

Didn't answer my question did you....
Not too sure whether it's because baseball is still going but i've found my interest in the Premiership isn't as strong as it was in previous years. Found myself looking forward to the La Liga games far more now.
Whilst in the USA over the summer, I noticed that Betis v Barca was on tv so I watched 20 minutes of it (up til half time) and seriously... it was one of the best games I've ever seen. Ronaldinho's tricks were unbelievable, yet Betis hit Barca on the counter attack twice and scored 2 in 10 minutes. Very entertaining.
Not bored of the prem though....
