Is it just me or does anyone else think that the Premiership is a steaming pile of cack, filled with money motivated cheating prima donnas, and negative tactics?
This weekend ManYoo play Arsenal, and Chelsea play Liverpool... do Sky realise they've got 2x 0-0 bores on their hands?
The entertaining football is played in The Championship and Football League.

This week in the lower divisions there were a couple of 3-3 draws... fans want to see goals, and we don't get those in The Prem.
This is our first season back in the top flight for 12 years, Liverpool came and were lucky to get a draw, I didn't expect to get anything from our 2 London away games, and last week vs Blackburn was farcical... nail-biting yes, entertaining no...
No-one in The Prem is prepared to take a man on and beat him for fear they'll lose possession.
That fear doesn't exist in the lower divisions.

Originally posted by blade68I like watching Premiership games, but it's true that with so many foreign coaches arriving, games are starting to be played more like in the continent. Wasn't there a 5-4 last season between the Spurs and Arsenal? 5 freaking 4.

Originally posted by ElleEffSeeeNo of course I don't... but I've got to be realistic, and success would be 4th from bottom.
lol - do you want your team to go back down then? 🙂
Every football fan wants to see their team play in the top flight, but that doesn't mean to say it's the most entertaining.
You've become accustomed to winning trophies, but you are in the minority of fans... most of us are just happy to survive!
The Premiership is all about money - but that's not what football is all about...
Football is about unity, 11 v 11, and seeing your team through thick and thin... it's territorial.
Let me ask you, would you rather watch 11 foreign players turning out for your team, or 11 home grown lads?

By and large, The Prem is boring.
Originally posted by blade68If it's all about unity as you say, then why should it matter what nationality the players are?

The Premiers ...[text shortened]... uld you rather watch 11 foreign players turning out for your team, or 11 home grown lads?
Originally posted by Daemon SinYou can't expect a Yugoslav striker playing for Swansea to have the same sort of passion as someone born and bred in the Valleys can you?

Hence my prima donna comment...
Too many players are in it for the money.
Originally posted by blade68It's true, home grown talent does have a huge affinity with the fans, but the borders stop closer to home than those of the country - I'd prefer a spaniard over a manc playing for us 😉

Originally posted by ElleEffSeeeI understand where you're coming from, but you're raising another issue really aren't you?

And what if the Manc had come up through your own Academy - what then?
