Sadly this is the talk of a wounded tiger. If we were in the mix at the top of the table, with a manager with the funds to play FIFA 12, and use it as a potential shopping list, our complaints about the club, and the sport in general would be more muted.

You can't blame Man City for spending their new found wealth or their fans for enjoying having a great football team, but you can blame the PL, FA and UEFA for not looking after the best interests of the game as a whole.
It's the random violence, the organised thuggery, being herded around by police before and after games, the warm sensation of someone else's piss down the back of my leg and having to wait until Sunday lunchtime to see brief highlights on ITV that I really miss.And of course, football was even better when only Liverpool won everything, apart from one glorious year when some club in the Midlands surprised everyone, including themselves. I'm really bored.
Fans are realising the uncompetitive nature of PL and are not prepared to part with their hard earned cash.
