It is great! The opening round has been characterised by teams full of 25-50K GBP/week players being shown wanting against players who likely cost a tenth of that. Beckham has just signed up for 100,000 GBP/week. Nice work if you can get it! I am not saying the best players do not deserve it but I think that with the demise of Krupp and ITV-Digital pay-per-view channels, the whole business model of financing clubs and players needs to be looked at. The cake has got smaller over the past 12 mths. Murdoch/Berlusconi are now in command, and even Mr Greenspan would have to admit that players' wages were beginning to resemble a bubble (unlike the stock and housing markets). The best excuse is Real Madrid, which is bankrupt, but gets the taxpayers via the city of madrid to build them a stadium for their exclusive use, while having both Zidane and Figo in the team. Bubbles always go further than you imagine. So expect a new wave of purchases after this World Cup, that would make last time seem sensible. I would recommend a cocktail of caffeine (to keep you awake) sleepeze (to put you to sleep) and melatonin(to reset your body clock). The quality, as you have pointed out, has been outstanding!
