    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.

    We were starting to do great things in the 90s and you cant really compare the errors of football. Chopper was incredible but you got away with alot of stuff on the pitch back then you wouldnt get away with now

    Of curse you can compare errors. Arsenal make more errors than most.

    Hate to burst the image of modern football but You do realise that many teams with the most money won the comp before the 90's. Its just their pot of gold, hidden and seen, isnt much in todays terms.

    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.

    We didn't have much money in the 90s and If having more overseas fans is the downside to winning things then so be it. Do you follow an overseas club Member?

    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.

    http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42916936

    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
