Fans are happy when they win. Only when they lose do they care about the entertainment value of their team's football.

By and large, The Prem is boring.
I think the entertainment value of lower leagues comes from the increased amount of mistakes, doesn't it? Dodgy defences and all that. Depends whether you like to watch quality or quantity?

Wauw, I didn't know that your primier had his own ship.
Is it a big steamship?
As it's from the prime-minister I would guess it's full with cheating prima donna's and negative tactics.
Hell he must invide his ministers and fellow politicians somewhere, doesn't he???

Just kidding, mate. 😛

Was the original point concerning our trip to Bramall Lane this Saturday and how good our record is up there? 😛

I do know where you're coming from mate, Championship football is brilliant, absolutely love it, and I have always said I wasn't bothered about getting promoted to the Prem, too much play acting, money issues and Sky moving games around at will. The Prem is fun though, we've got a run of 7 games, after our next easy game, that are mouth watering and I've got to say I can't wait - Man U, Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea all coming to our place over the next two months - isn't that what it's all about? Try and enjoy it whilst you're up, it could only be one season!

Hence my prima donna comment...
Too many players are in it for the money.
Lee Trundle's a scouser and he has the same passion for the team as he would have had if he was born there.

I'm a big Lee Trundle fan (we should've bought him 2 seasons ago!), but in fairness LT's made his name down at Swansea and has that affinity with the fans that EllSeeEff mentioned in a previous post.

I wasn't really talking about an individual team... more the entertainment of the division.

...and yes, of course fans are happy when their own team wins!

My point was...that's why you're bitching about it. 😉

That's what you're expecting your team to do.

I think you raise a decent point.
Yes there's not the same quality lower down the leagues, but if the Prem is so jam packed with quality why isn't it entertaining?

If a rock band had Eric Clapton, Keith Moon, Paul Weller, John Lennon and Bono in it... you'd think they'd play decent music wouldn't you? (totally subjective examples, but hopefully you get the idea?)
But what if the music they produced was rubbish?

The Premiership is an excellent example of 'style over content'...

Can we stop with the over-praising too?

BTW, when you sing "There's only one United" you're dead right!
Sheffield United were the first football team in the world to be called 'United' - and that's a fact!!!

He was good for Wrexham before he went to Swansea and he gave the same passion for them too. As long as you have passion for the team which many premiership players do, then the football will be good. I agree with you on that point, but I don't agree that the premiership is boring.
