"Is it just me..."

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.

Dringo.

Indeed, couldn't believe it when i saw the red come out for Baptista, far too harsh.

Just saw Baptista's, very harsh, i think the 47 rolls the espanyol player did on the ground kind of swinged it for the ref!

Did you see Baraja's sending off on saturday? Didnt see Baptista's but Baraja's was very harsh.

That Baptista foul was never a straight red. A clumsy challenge, certainly, but he was obviously going for the ball. It's the last minute of injury time and his team are 1-0 down, it wasn't a cynical attempt to stop the opposition equalising.

spanish football is getting good with real madrid losing every game and now barcelona losing as well against 10 man atletico :) get in there kezman!!!

Because the opponent doesn't get a look in.

An enjoyable game is not the careful demolition of the opposition.

It is a closely fought affair where anything can happen.

Take the champions league final as an example.

Well... yes.

Apart from the entire first half.

Their opponents are hardly an opponent.

It is only "really" exciting when they have to face a tough team from Europe.

I enjoyed Newcastle Vs. Blackburn today mind.

That was good.
