eA dipper mate of mine said last time they qualified "The Champions League has missed Liverpool Football Club"
Completely straight faced.
I wasn't just musing on this and wondered what you all thought. About 10-15 years ago the
Media with sky sports taking the lead promoted a relentless narrative of the big 4. I think this did serious damage to the game because it lead to a huge increase in glory hunting etc. What are your thoughts? Guilty as charged or overblowing it?
Yes, absolutely. The very idea of us (anybody) breaking into their cosy little cartel was deemed absurd.I wasn't just musing on this and wondered what you all thought. About 10-15 years ago the

What was completely absurd was the idea there were only 4 big clubs in England. It's one of the likeable quirks of English football that the fan base is so spread out, traditionally. Isn't the championship one of the top ten supported leagues in Europe or something?Yes, absolutely. The very idea of us (anybody) breaking into their cosy little cartel was deemed absurd.

And it was cutting off their nose to spite their face. The premier league is so profitable because it is so competitive. In Spain with a few notable exceptions (the basques, Gallegos and sevillans) most people support Real Madrid or Barca and have a second regional team. That is the death knell of a league. And sky sports were promoting this!It wouldn't surprise me.
When you think back to the original Sky top 4 of woolwich, Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea it's quite satisfying to see that they've all been out of it in recent years.

Those are great points you make to be fair. Although I think you do the Championship an injustice. I'm sure it's around the 5th best supported league in Europe. And has been for a few years.What was completely absurd was the idea there were only 4 big clubs in England.
