One big issue is the press seemingly ignoring the fact people feel this way

Read an article in the paper on the way home today about how we in England need to chose between a great league and a great national team. Then it banged on about how great Sunday's charity thing was and demonstrated how great our league is.....er.....what? Great league? I can barely contain my excitement to see which of Man Utd or Chelsea will win the league.......AGAIN. Look at this list - Just LOOK at it.

1994–95 Blackburn Rovers
1995–96 Manchester United
1996–97 Manchester United
1997–98 Arsenal
1998–99 Manchester United
1999–2000 Manchester United
2000–01 Manchester United
