What a load of shite this thread is ..... a United fan (from West Yorkshire) getting bored of football because united haven’t won the league since Fergie left.
Diddums.

I'd suggest Pogba is less bothered about his hair than the wailing banshees of the internet are
I wasn’t thinking it was a dig at City at all. I think the quality in the premier league is getting better, not worse - the football being played, generally, is better and English teams are having relatively more success in Europe than in recent seasons. United won the Europa league, Liverpool got to the final of the CL for example.
I suppose your boredom might stem from what you are watching, not what is going on around the league as a whole.
There is a number of players in the Premier League that would get into any team in the world.
Coutinho went for an unbelievable fee as would De Bruyne, Hazard, Salah, Kane if they went to another club. You could also add Aguero, Eriksen Alli, Firmino, Kante, Sane to that list so I disagree the quality has gone down, it's just evened out rather than the top 3 buying every decent player
That's the main difference - the money in the PL has helped the league become more exciting with mid table clubs now being able to buy expensive players and hold on to their main assets until a crazy transfer fee is involved (Southampton and VVD, Swansea with Sigurdson).
This has made the league more exciting for me as any team can beat any other in the league, how can that be boring? I'd be amazed if a neutral found the league more boring now than in the past when there was a top 2/3 winning everything.
Just another thought .... yes I enjoy the way City play but I also enjoyed it when we were dicking about in division 3.
For me, there’s more to football than you are suggesting. It’s not only about watching world class footballers, it’s about watching rubbish footballers in the cold and wet and hoping for better days.
It’s watching your team get relegated and still renew your season ticket.
It’s about meeting your mates and arguing over a beer, enjoying away trips, having a laugh.
It’s about spending time with your son up and down the country on match days.
It’s so much more than you’ve said.
I named 9 but there are plenty more, I'm guessing we will agree to disagree and you cna carry on claiming football is boring now.
Very. And smoky here with the fire up at Dovestones. Hope all the emergency services are safe - what an incredible job they do. Legends.Don't get me started. It's been a long, hot day.
Such systems appear to work for our cousins across the pond in their mainstream sports.
I'd say the parity is better now than ever in the PL. Liverpool have spent City levels of money in the last 12 months or so.
American sports are in the fortunate position of being mostly crap, boring sporting enterprises that mostly only Americans are interested in, so they can implement systems relatively easily and fairly.
While I agree in terms of the MLS & MLB, the NFL on the other hand is a different animal altogether and is adored world wide. (Research global viewing figures for the Super Bowl and also how quickly the London, Mexican & Canadian International Series games sell out their tickets when they've gone on sale.) There's even serious talk of an NFL franchise being located in the UK in the not too distant future because of it's popularity over here.
Appears to be a fraction of World Wide footballing figures. A quick google suggests significantly more people watched the English FA Cup final than the American Superbowl.
