    What Saints Bradford and Leeds have done is not because they can buy anyone they want so obviously other clubs can do the same.
    What do you mean, even I should know? Cheeky

    I understand what you are saying, its not how they go about it, all I was saying is that the fact remains that there are still only 2 dominant teams in Rugby at the moment regardless of who has what money.

    I agree that football has gone silly with transfer fees and wages. That is why I do prefer Rugby League. I just dont think its as competitive as you are making it. Its certainly not like the NRL where they have had numerous different winners over the years.

    4 actually. Wigan won the first GF, Saints , Leeds and Bradford. THe GF was also only introduced from 1998.

    I stand corrected. I had a feeling they did but did not bother researching it.

    The myth that they don't care about us is being well and truly exploded in this thread.

    More lies from the United camp it would appear.

    However, it appears the 24-year-old's deadline day move has still to sink in.

    "On the last day, Chelsea made me a great proposal and I accepted it," he said, to which a reporter replied: "You mean Manchester right?". "Yeah, Manchester, sorry!" answered Robinho.

    Robinho's transfer overshadowed news of the other big-money deal on Monday, that of Dimitar Berbatov's £31m switch from Tottenham to rivals Manchester United.

    However, it was later reported that the deal - funded by new City owners Abu Dhabi United Group - was concluded without Robinho, 24, taking a medical or even fully understanding the personal terms of his contract.

    Never let you down City lol

    This is a class post on MuEN site which sums things up pretty well

    I would like to thank the press for putting things into perspective for me over the last couple of days. As a Manchester City fan, I unwittingly found myself getting rather giddy and excited. But now I realise that my football club has caused the death of football (see Radio 5).

    Everything was fine before Monday. Manchester United hadn't whored themselves round the world to make money, bought player after player for huge amounts of money, kidnapped players without the selling club's permission then paid them hush money. Chelsea haven't tried to buy players for huge sums of money either, like Robinho, Kaka, Shevchenko. The G14 group is an honourable organisation that does loads of charity work and in no way is it a cartel set up to protect the interests of its members and make the rich even richer, at the expense of everyone else.

    UEFA would never turn the European Cup, sorry, Champions League, into a money-making exercise, making it harder for less established clubs to ever compete on a level playing field. They would never add group stages, let teams who failed drop into the UEFA Cup, or let teams like Liverpool in even when they hadn't qualified, at the expense of a 'lesser' country's team. They would never keep the front rows of European games empty just so they could have bigger advertising hoardings and rake more money in.

    Real Madrid haven't really been bailed out by their government, Italian clubs have never to my knowledge bribed referees and officials.

    And I am sure that if Chelsea had actually signed Kaka for £70m over the summer, or Real Madrid has signed Ronaldo for £90m, then there would of course have been an outcry at them ruining our beautiful and pure sport.

    So shame on you Manchester City. How dare you try and compete with the 'Big Four'. I hope you're proud of yourself. You have just killed football.

    Manchester City have just issued a statement to their season ticket holders stating that as a result of the takeover and Robinho transfer, they might have someone sat next to them at the next few home games. However please dont be alarmed as they expect things to be back to normal as soon as possible.

    Did anyone see the internationals over the weekend? I watched the Scotland and parts of the England game and neither impressed me. I don't for the life of me think England will fail to qualify. The only thing in Scotlands favour is the teams in there group are as bad as each other barring the classy dutch.

    At the risk of getting a slating from some (def DD) I did not watch the England game. Could not give a toss about the national team. Never even knew the score until the next day. Always love it when Utd players dont play, as it keeps them fresh for Utd.

    It doesn't bother me. I only watched the second half myself and I won't be watching the game on Wednesday. It's when people start supporting other countries with the sole intention of antogonising their fellow countrymen, that it annoys me.

    Argentina! Argentina!

    United > England

    New Manchester City signing Robinho told Real Madrid chairman Ramon Calderon he would "rather be a travelling salesman or sell cakes at the fair" than stay at the Spanish giants.

    Not far off what he wanted then lol
