I don't doubt the quality of football at the top level. If you just want to watch high quality passing, high quality moves and high quality goals then watch the Premier League.

But I think last season's title race masked over the fact that high quality doesn't really doesn't guarantee excitement. Take away the Liverpool/Man City race and you had nothing.

Two years ago I watched Garforth Town draw 4-4 against Harrogate Railway Athletic. There was an outrageous eighth goal to tie the game in injury time, two sendings off, goal-line clearances, a penalty...

Cost me £5 to get in.

It also reminds me of the time that Sky Sports tried to sell 'The Race for 4th' when Man City played Spurs. It was on Sky Sports 1. Skip two channels on and you saw Hibs and Motherwell play out a 6-6 draw. Never seen a match like it.

Yes, you do get boring games in lower leagues, and you do get thrillers in the Prem. Crucially, there's only one level of football I'd be willing to pay to watch, all things considered.

Its ok anyway by then I think football will have self destructed as we know it, financially and spiritually.

It is already happening at the top level. Pretty, often boring, football played by over paid, over hyped players, James Fooking Milner a champions league winner for example.

I am just glad I got to appreciate football in the 90s when football was still football. There was non of this bullshit you get nowadays, tackling actually existed, you would not get sent off for a deliberate foul etc. a proper contact sport with aggression and passion.  

Exhibit A: Montero a childhood hero of mine

Very odd. Milner's pretty close to the committed, old fashioned get on with it type of player a lot of us miss.
He also passed Beckham for goal assists this season, pretty remarkable and very impressive.

Absolutely nothing you are right!  

I intended to put Jordan Henderson who I think is one of the most overrated midfielders of modern times. Oh well. Sorry James! Actually I remember when he played for Swindon against us in 2003 when has on loan he was 16 then I think and was playing as a winger and played well.

My thoughts exactly, he probably one of the closest to the 'old school' type player that was being harked back to!

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
