The special one.........

I want 'Pool to win the Champions League, the same as all the big clubs, the Prem ony pays about 20% of what you get in the Champions League, so is pretty much irrelevant, as the CL is basically the European Premiership these days.

I think you'd find that the majority of fans would LIKE to win the Prem, but prefer the CL as it gives your more status on the world stage.

The Prem is now also 3 divisions in one, unlike the Championship which is closely fought from top to bottom each season, and is much more of an endurance test and effectively harder to win than the Prem.

The Prem has revolved arounf the big 3-4 since the start some 15 years ago, and will probably do the same for another 15 years at the very least, that is not good for English football as we have seen with the International side, and the sooner a proper European league is set up the better as it will pitch these 4 sides against teams of the same level. It'll also be worth a lot more money than the £20 million or so you get for winning the Prem.

I agree to a certain extent with Keith. A European 'Super League' would be a great thing to see - in my opinion.

Who knows, it might even generate more fans for the 'big 4' - because, myself included, if there was such a thing as the aforementioned league, I would then start supporting 'United in Europe.'

Leaving the rest in the Premiership would make the league, at least for the near future, much more interesting for footie fans - plus giving the rest of the teams 'a chance.'

Put Celtic and Rangers in Europe and bring some sense back to the farcical Scottish League.

The opinions expressed here are merely those of the author. All characters and teams mentioned are purely fictitious and any reference to any Ronaldos or Terrys is absolutely laughable.

hmm i agree to super league in some ways but also you wud loose some of the things that make playing in premier league special. i think the fact that apart from the very poorest teams at the foot of table a rainy trip to newcastle or villa can totally ruin your title aspirations.you can't take any result for granted.sometimes a grim nil nil result away from home on a freezing wed night is just what the manager ordered and it would be a shame to loose that.i will argue that winning the premiership is harder and has more importance than cl and we all know its of much annoyance to most lpool fans that they cannot do it.yes they won cl in 2005 but they were no-where near the best team in england. were greece really the best team in euro 2004? don't think so. i will say this lpool finished very strong and i think they will come closer next season not sure if the managers right for job but we will see.
