Which league have 5 or 6 clubs that can win the title? In every league there is always the big 4 no matter where you go.
People are throwing a bandwagon argument due to suddenly a lot of City and Chelsea supporters have suddenly come out of the woodwork when their sides got money and could buy big names. That is pretty obvious. They did not had much to be excited about in the past or a lot to shout about. Now they do. Their sides have done what any other club would do and buy the best they can afford and as big as squad as possible. The main goal here is winning trophies and glory.
Football is a business and names and success sell shirts and turn your business into a more profitable business.
Also you have too look how different cultures support their own countries players. A lot of Africans like Nigerians will support Chelsea do to the affiliation it has with some of its players. Chelsea will never play their local team which they support first and foremost but it doesn't make them glory hunters just proud citizens supporting their countries players abroad. In South Africa I know there is more EPL games on tv than the local football so the first games youngsters see on tv is a Manchester United or a Liverpool or a Chelsea which they take liking to. So people look at it with the wrong perspective and most accusations are just basically part of football banter which the English are masters at. That is one of the reasons why they enjoy football and one thing I admire about them.
Johnno true. Tendulkar is a joy to watch though. Him and Lara. Steve Waugh and Smith are not the most elligant or flashy or their stroke play is a beautiful as those 2 but they are two grinders and comes to the party when its needed. They are fighters which make up for some of the elegance of short comings they might be missing.
