According to Martin Samuel, none of the English teams last season were knocked out of the Champs League by one of the 'big three' - Bayern, Barca or Real Madrid.
Erm, Martin, did you not see City play Barcelona?
He's full of shit recently that guy.
He also said Chelsea's problems were all down to not strengthening the team in the summer compared to their major rivals. Whilst you can use that as an excuse for us serving their arse on a plate, how on earth can that be an excuse for not beating Swansea, Everton and Crystal Palace.
It's even more laughable when you consider that both United and Chelsea, in their most recent league wins, won the league comfortably and had a poor (Chelsea so far) following season and the media blamed poor transfer windows. However, when we won the league, which was nowhere near as comfortable as United or Chelsea, and had a poor following transfer window that was not an excuse.
Surely the team who marginally wins the league needs to strengthen more than the ones who comfortably win the league.
