How much would you pay for a loaf of bread, a bottle of water? Do you think inflating high level transfer prices might be a way of keeping the TV money away from where it's really needed? I think the ridiculous fees are highly damaging and, eventually destructive.

Utterly predictable that huddersfield would be top four and arsenal barely out of the relegation zone? Burnley beating Chelsea opening day was obvious? I think there's a desperate need to be seen not to enjoy the Premier League because it's not cool to, but it's an exciting league.
When it comes to fees, the fees are actually decreasing as a portion of club revenue. Man City signing robinho was one of the "biggest". Most clubs are now self sustaining and turning profits.
That's rubbish. Of course every league in every sport is going to throw up unexpected results during the season, but you ask the bookies who the top 6 will be at the end and who will be fighting the drop and they won't be far off. You quoted Huddersfield but their position after a handful of games doesn't confirm the unpredictability of the PL but their presence in the PL does confirm the unpredictability of the Championship.
Nail on the frigging head. Just to add to this, whenever someone points out an unlikely triumph such as Leicester winning the league, people say "Yeah but that was a one off." If it wasn't a one off then it'd be boring and predictable wouldn't it
It's predictable apart from when it isn't. Righto. You must surely see the stupidity in suggesting that a one off event needs to occur more often in order to be considered unpredictable.
bcc said that button had no drive except the fact that he'd been in f1 since 2000 the brawn thing was a mix of no real competitor, hamilton was completely new to the sport as was vettell plus hamilton wouldn't have bested schumachers record of pole positions the clue is in the name formula.. it's about engineering the top teams have much better engineering like it would absolutely blow your mind if you delved into the technical part of a f1 car, there is nothing whatsoever that is faster round a track than a f1 car f1 car is over 30-40 second a lap faster than a moto gp bike for example the f1 cars this year have that much downforce, they can drive upside down plus you also forget the skill to drive these cars there is a reason hamilton got pole and his nearest rival finished 8th hamilton is an utter genius in the rain of course the cars have a big impact on results.. it's called motor sport it would be very narrow minded to say the car wins why didn't massa win a world championship? driving the same car, the top guys always show and we are talking hundreds of a second.. sometimes even a thousand of second at the top level, it's about every single one thousand of a second. the top drivers, can gain that in each corner and it shows at the end not sure why anyone would mock it if you dont find it interesting fine but the skill of the very top drivers is unquestionable that is just how absolutely incredible f1 cars are.. this is pretty much two sharp 90 degree turns.. watch it in full screen note the speed between the 1st car and the 2nd car... 2nd is on a hot lap. compared to gt cars and gt cars are some of the fastest in the world and you can talk about needing to be rich to get into the sport..stroll has a billionaire parent.. i disagree with that and it's the one thing i hate about f1, that you can be rich enough to buy your way in over someone more talented but less rich but lewis hamilton, didn't have that, he came from nothing and did it all with his talent
I've never enjoyed watching F1, or indeed any race. I mean they're sometimes 65 laps long, the bloke who is in front at the start is usually the winner, so I don't see much of a point tuning in until the final lap. The poor ****ers in the ****ty cars end up finishing like 15th, they're never going to get anywhere.
so on your limited view, it's the same as barca or real madrid winning la liga or the usual teams winning the prem etc etc without getting into f1 ps. marcus ericsson wouldn't be even close to hamilton in the same car. just like bottas isin't. ps.ps. won pole (click watch youtube) didn't win the race ps.ps.ps hamilton is the greatest qualifier in f1 history. not forgetting montoya did the fastest lap in f1 history around monza in 2004.. when schumacher had the famous f2004 ferrari. montoya did it in a williams. but he could never repeat that lap and only in 2017, are the cars even close to that speed plus current f1 cars have no driver aids.. and not forgetting that current road car safety technology like anti locking brake systems, traction control and electronic stability control is all due to racing and f1 which has improved the average drivers trip much much much safer and f1 has none of that you can hate the sport but you can't simply deny the utter skill of the top drivers it's a shame for lewis, that he will never get the credit he deserves, because people think. fastest car wins'.. he is against one of the greatest drivers in f1 history in vettel, this is actually possibly the most exciting f1 season ever just watch a race..especially when it is monza..
I remember watching F1 many years back, to follow Allan Jones and after that Nigel Mansell. Attacking drivers who made it interesting for me. After that I just lost interest and never bothered again. The trouble is I suppose it's often more about having the better technology rather than the skills of the drivers.
From the start of F1, to the end of the 2013 season, less than half the races were won by the driver who started in pole (only just, those starting in pole had won 49% of the races). Lewis Hamilton has the best record in history for winning pole position and for subsequently winning after starting in pole position, but even he lost 15% of those races.
