There's a whole raft of top flight games in Spain and Germany you'd pay not to watch ......
If you looked at digital and fantasy football games you'd find the most popular signings are of players playing for English clubs. Okay the players all want Bellingham and Mbappe, but they can find so many names they are familiar with at English clubs, right down to the foot of the Premier League. It has to say more than they are the most available viewing on TV across Europe, it has to be about being the best. But equally the most vaunted and anticipated games DO turn out to be an anticlimax, you are right HibeeJim, but that's the same the world over. Good teams cancel each other out sometimes.
There's lots I strongly dislike about our Premier League, but top-level football worldwide displays many of the same characteristics. They bathe in the warmest waters of Capitalism and represent most of its worst excesses. I really wasn't likely to fall in love with them. But it's the only game in town.
