    Indeed, ridiculously close, and in fact so close that the gap between the Prem. and the Champ. is getting wider - look at Derby as a case in point. Who do you follow, if anyone?


    Support Man United. Simply because my dad has since 1977, so I was brought up a United fan.

    I keep track of all the major European leagues. Serie A, Eredivise, Championnat and La Liga. German football doesn't bother me that much. We used to get a lot of Dutch football on channel 5 early in the morning, which i used to record and watch, so that kinda got me interested in Dutch league football.


    Respect...I adore English football and often watch Match of the Day. Also interested in German, Spanish, Scottish and Italian football. But the English are the football-gods (except for Euro 2008)

    Ah I see. I used to watch channel 5's Serie A coverage this season but after a while lost interest...also sometimes used to catch this highlights programme on channel 4 at some godforsaken hour which has all the leagues, but to be honest it's at such a stupid hour that I can't be bothered lol. If we got Setanta, it might change things...I usually just keep abreast of the Football League, SPL and EPL (aswell as the major leagues like you say, but not on a regular basis)...

    Alkmaar are quite low in the league if i remmeber rightly. Only reason they do well against British sides is beacues they're British


    And The Championship is crazy. Getting tighter and tighter each year.


    AZ has a very bad season, their now around the 12th place. Before the season man thought they would become 3th or 4th...

    Yeah, that's the bad thing, they put the stuff on at stupid hours of the morning.

    Haha, the English Premier League is getting a bit tedious for me, for me, it seems to have lost it's unpredictability. In terms of smaller teams doing well etc. No doubt we have some of the best talent in the world here though.

    Haha, I remember. 2-0 wasn't it? Kept you in the race to avoid relegation though, and what an epic relegation battle we had. Four teams battling it out to avoid relegation.

    It most certainly was, Dean Ashton and Leon McKenzie. We should have stayed up that season, but we well and truly fucked up at Craven Cottage...a lot of the Premier divisions across Europe are predictable now, I mean you have "the big four" in the EPL, the Old Firm in the SPL, the main 3/4 in Italy (Inter, Milan, Roma and Juve) and in Spain it's usually Real Madrid and Barca battling it out.

    To the lower leagues of the world - we salute you!

    I mean yeah, Norwich have had a shocking season BUT it's been engaging - one week you beat someone 5-1, the next you get trounced 3-0 and then draw 2-2. Great stuff for the eyes, if not the heartrate...

    My pleasure Casper lol. Real football for the real fans...usually...although to be fair, REAL fans support the big clubs too, it's just that their image has been tarnished by corporate sponsorships and FAR TOO MUCH MONEY coming into the game...

    I usually think: Big clubs are about money, small clubs in the lower divisions are about real pleasure and football..joy to watch.

    Here here. I'd like to stick the Football League in with the "smaller club" category because as a rule, the money is nowhere near as rife as that with the big leagues, even though the Championship is one of the best supported leagues in Europe (although that said, there are 24 teams lol...). There's is great stuff played in the lower leagues of English football, but it's rarely picked up by the media - you'd think that football only started in 1992 if you only read the Sun...
