Chelsea Fan.Same here. The under 30's have been warped by marketing into thinking that the champions league is the best competition on the planet.
Personally I don't mind it but that more because of the away trips. I still very rarely get emotional about the games and I can't see that changing but some of the football played by some of the teams were competing with pisses all over watching Middlebrough or Manure park the bus at our place. So all in all I enjoy the trips and the football displayed but I've just not got a connection with the competition in the same way I do with the league.
100% agreed. Back in 2012, I was telling anyone who would listen that I would gladly have swapped the two trophies we won that season, FAC & CL, for the Premier League that you won. The CL is a great competition. Much better in my opinion than its predecessor, the European Champions Cup, but it still means way less to me than the domestic title.
And, no, I promise you that has nothing to do with the current league table.
Edit: -
I also fully agree with those of you who continue to boo uefa's anthem. Not withstanding the fact that I like the new president, who strikes me as a bright bloke, there are so many reason's to boo that organisation. FFP is just one of them.
I'm sad to admit that my own club had been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of that horrible set of regulations. We had climbed the tree by spending a lot of money and we supported this bad rule in an effort to pull the ladder up after us. When your club & PSG started to spend big also, I said I hoped that you'd drive a gaping whole through the plan of the old money clubs (and Chelsea) to create a closed shop for themselves at the top of European football. Gald to see this is what seems to have happened.
