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.

I do, Ash, Quinty and Foreman all do too. I can't speak for them all but I know I certainly wouldn't take TV over a live match. Ever.

How am I losing an argument with you? My story in "THE" thread has been consistantly true.

And for the record, I do agree with you about the premiership becoming boring but not because of what you say about chelsea.

He knows it was against me. I could say many things about you but it doesn't mean I have to resort to insults in order to help me in a losing argument does it?
And before you start insulting people, it would be nice if you could spell their name correctly wouldn't it?

Because they work defensively and move into attacking formations to win. Almost every first half display from chelsea has been yawnsome.

Then you're an idiot.
Because I stuck to one story in that thread. I previously made a few alterations about how the fire started in the thread I wrote 4 months before I was charged but that was for obvious reasons.
And I used the term technicality when I didn't mean it in that exact sense.
For these 2 reasons you've called me a liar. But if you go over to the thread now, I have some proof for you.
