Luke Edwards in the DT this morning quotes The Fat Spanish Waiter as bemoaning the fact that the rest of the PL can't compete with the top six, a situation that has probably held good since the PL started, except it's now the top six, used to be the top four, and previously the top two, and for a long while the top one! But he goes on to say "In other words, the PL is no longer the most competitive league in the world (if it ever was, my words!). That is not City's fault, but they are to blame. Guardiola's side are too good too strong. They have too many of the best players and are too adept at finding a way to win. If you merely try to defend agains them, it is only a matter of time until they prise you open." Just what are we to blame for?
Funny how, when the Dippers or MANUre were top of the tree these kind of hacks glorified in the situation, and praised and lauded the likes of Busby and the GPC for assembling such a squad, and the club for developing such regime, I don't recall one jot of criticism for having the best players.
