Promoting the Premiership Myth

Monday, August 13, 2007

Apparently, this weekend's win against Aston Villa ensured that Liverpool collected the 1,000th point since the Premiership was established. And, given that even the official website carried the story, that is something to be proud of.

Or not, because all this goes to show is how effective those promoting the myth that football started with the Premiership in 1992 have been. Previous achievements are silently pushed aside until, one day, people will have all but forgotten about them.

Should there be a Salary Cap in Soccer?
Personally I think there should be! It’s just getting to be stupid money in soccer at the top of the premiership!
It’s always the same teams at the top proving that soccer success is based purely on money which ruins the idea of it being a sport! They’ve done it in rugby, basketball, hockey and American football and it makes the sports more competitive and better to watch!
I do a little Soccer Spread Betting from time to time and most matches don’t hold much surprise who is going to win, its boring! I want to see a team at the bottom pulling off an amazing season beating last seasons winners in a close fought battle!
Make things fair! It shouldn’t be about money!
