City's Spine

Some people assume that because weather and climate are supremely important to them, that they are equally important to everyone else.

They aren't.

People who talk about the English weather impacting on players' choice of location are usually those that don't like the weather here themselves. Why can't they accept that's it's not the be all and end all to everyone?

And that some people actually enjoy the climate (if not the weather) in this country.

Another thing that pisses me off is when I hear commentators spin the well worn bullshit that it's always raining in Manchester. Our average rainfall barely puts us in the top 20 of UK cities.

IIRC, Portsmouth & Sheffield were 1 & 2 in the average rainfall stakes. I'd rather be playing my football in Manchester rather than in more sunnier climes like Las Palmas...

I'm surprised people keep talking like this tbh.

When was the last time one of the worlds biggest clubs came and took one of our best players???
For me it was SWP going to Chelsea in 2005.
The only other ones that I can think of are Robinho & Boateng who were not that great anyway!

Liverpool, James Milner.

Liverpool, James Milner.

That's pushing it mate ;))

Ticks all the boxes mate, "one of the worlds biggest clubs" , without question, Milner, Toure, Aguero, Silva, Kompany, it just rolls off the tongue ;-)

Very true, but it's equally true that for some people including some footballers weather does play a role in where they want to live and work

It's a myth that was propagated by rags when they've been snubbed in the past. The only reason they could possibly have been snubbed is because of the British weather.

I accept that because I appreciate that other people don't share my preferences and priorities in life.

WAGS play a huge (some would say MASSIVE) roll in these decisions too, we'd all have to consult with our own girlfriends/partners etc so footballers are no different.
