The sky four is Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal. I now refer to the Sky 4 and a half as Man City are steadily becoming a favourite too, this is based on how many times each is shown on Sky TV ( and other broadcasters internationally) every year. Every match shown boosts their coffers and leaves the others further behind. Furthermore the blanket coverage allows them to charge more for sponsorship, thereby leaving the others even further behind. The four (and a half) mentioned enjoy more "support" from outside their traditional catchment area than within it. Spurs, Everton and Newcastle have limited support compared with those four (and a half) - mostly, but not exclusively, confined to within an extended catchment area around their home ground.
Oohaah - put your big wooded spoon back in the cupboard... ;-)
Great result for England, neither side will progress beyond the groups if they qualify judging by the standard of that game. Why do players who can do fantastic things with the ball in the league suddenly have it bouncing off them like a two year old playing catch, and are unable to find a player ten feet away with a pass when they put on an international shirt (both sides guilty as each other last night)?

I'd suggest because both countries have allowed players to put club before country. In Ukraine's case, often foreign club before country.
Glad to see people here are considerably more enlightened than Samuels and co. Where will Samuels be when all those "injured' players miraculously recover for the FAPL games this weekend? Writing obsequious crap from one of the big club's comfortable press boxes, thats where.

The four teams remain reasonably constant, but with enough money and success any team can join the club.
