We're never really challenging because we don't have the class of players.
Can you name any club in this country that has players like Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, etc, playing for them? Shrek? He's the biggest name right now, but he's nowhere and a nobody by comparison. Silva? Half a good season, we'll see what happens. The quality of the players and the game in general is so much lower. The last five or six games I have watched, ours included, reminded me of a Sunday league hackathon, kick and rush, give the ball away, charge around at 110mph. Plenty of energy, precious little skill. A very poor Utd won the title last year and it looks like the most average team ever to win it will be City this year. And they all get paid ten times more. Bit of a joke really.
