Anyone else into their Turkish food?
Must admit I am partial to any Mediterranean food. Never forget working in Ankara straight out of uni and being taken for night of belly dancing (not by me) and drinking. Afterwards my hosts said they would take me for their traditional post-drinking late night meal. Stupid me assumed it would be a kebab but it was Sheep Stomach Soup. Guaranteed to sober you up quickly.
 
I based it on the teams winning the most at the top and the teams winning less farther down the scale, what method do you use ?

It means that if you can afford to spend eighty million pounds in one season on players you are likely to finish above teams that do not have that kind of backing, it means that if Newcastle have some success they will lose their best players to an owner willing to give them more money, it means that football as a sport is finished, it means that English football has been taken over by oligarchs as a hobby , I thought you may have noticed

Do you still believe we still have a level playing field ?
When have we ever had a level playing field? Weren't Sunderland one of the richest clubs during the early years of the league and even known as the Bank of England club during the 50's. Generally the wealthiest teams win the league whether that money came from a local benefactor, crowd receipts, TV money, a mega rich Arab or Russian or reckless overspending. Leicester bucked that trend last year. But it seems a bit arbitrary to write off any recent successes by the big clubs when clubs have been using their financial resources since the Football League first started, to try and achieve success. Or were you just doing that to try and push Sunderland to the top of that table?
