    in your earlier reply you were trying to distinguish between your perspective as a fan, saying why should you care about a players perception of the game. the example i pulled up, shows that you do in fact care.

    intelligence has nothing to do with it. if you think that, then you are a complete snob.

    the basic ideal is, for your hardwork, you get a reward. that's how players feel. that's how we all should feel in general. players and fans see quite a few things differently and more fans need to wake up to that. those at chelsea and man city are not wrong or stupid to believe that collecting their end of season trophy hasn't been cheapened, after grafting for it.

    they are still massive, horrible ****s of course but they deserve what they earn.

    The players work hard for their trophies and I can see they'd get a sense of satisfaction from the achievement.
    The PL is a bloody hard league to win.
    And I do understand that fans so starved of success - especially City who have had to spend the last 20 years watching Utd sweep all before them - would take delight in not only winning the big prize but doing so at the expense of their rivals.

    But the money does taint their achievements. I do know Chelsea fans who fully recognise that they wouldn't be where they are were it not for Abramovic's money and it does affect the way they view the club's recent success. If we took the same approach then, for me, it would taint our achievements.

    All this talk of rival clubs and their riches is a distraction. We have a serious test away against Stoke today. Our lack of success has very little to do with the oil baron clubs, it's to do with these sort of games.

    The uber-rich clubs has definitely been a factor but I'd agree it's not the only one.
    We could certainly have done a lot more to be more competitive and pushed them harder.

    exactly. from a fans perspective. what we and players think differ and they would say you are in the wrong.

    At any moment, Kronke could sell out, shortly after draining however much he wanted from the clubs coffers.


    And they all talk a load of bullshit re: we can't pay down debt early. Any idiot knows that interest in savings is many times less than the interest on debt regardless of what retarded penalty clauses or inflation adjustments to sign up to.
    Don't often agree with you but

    This club are a Fucking disgrace. Why can spurs replace modric in 5 minutes but it takes us 2 years to replace fabregas.

    I was hopeful but now I'm convinced were run by Muppets.
