Anyone checked on Stanny after the 3-0 home loss yesterday?

Although I hate the big 6, I do credit that Liverpool have always won things (at least until the end of the 20th century!)
Chelsea are "Johnny come latelys" who only got anywhere when a loony, rich Russian wanted a new toy.
The real Chelsea died when they demolished The Shed and Ron Harris (inventor of the squirrel grip) retired in 1980.
Chopper made John Terry look as gentle as a lamb.
Starting to do great things based on money
Make no mistake about Man City are the most plastic football club on the planet
Chelsea are not far behind them
Both have bought success by having filthy rich owners
If Abramovich or the Arabs had of bought QPR or Sunderland or Birmingham City they would have been just as successful
What surprising is they could have picked bigger clubs than Man City and Chelsea
Everton Spuds Liverpool Newcastle Villa etc would have been better fits to turning them into super clubs
Derby County, Leeds United, Forest and early Liverpool were not flushed with funds. Man U were the richest club in England when relegated to tge second division.
EPL,Sky Sports and onset of foreign players changed it all. As did billionaires pumping cash into specific clubs.
Didn't have much money in the 90s?
**** me where you think I come from??
Vialli
Gullit
Zola
Desailly
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
LeBouef
All these blokes cone to the club for mars bars and cans of coke ??

No I don't support a football club on the other side of the planet
I only support the Jets and Socceroos
Good comment from Wenger today on BBC....his point is the "extra" pumped in from third parties, not the actual spending, is causing a lopsided playing field.

I think what was delayed by the inception of the EPL and new Champions League, the European Super League, will be back on the table in the next few years. It would be a huge money spinner.
The interesting thing will be I doubt they would let all six big English clubs in!
You were in the top 4-5 spending clubs FFS
You went crazy spending when Roman came in but you were more than throwing it around under Bates and Harding
I don't know what fairytale book you reading from but those guys I mentioned Vialli Zola Hasselbaink Desailly didn't leave their successful clubs to hang out in West London for the ambience
It was cold hard cash and lots of it that got them there
