I am in complete agreement with Champs and Despair about the what the PL has become - especially in terms of the egos and attitudes of many players in the top six. A lot of the blame falls on the agents and other hangers-on who get hold of them when they're very young and turn them into selfish brats.
I have always hoped, though, that playing for their country can at least make them forget their super-star mentality for a while.
Funny - I'm not usually the romantic type!!
I would again like to drop my hobby-horse in here: the PL would be far more enjoyable and competitive if the top six were removed to a European super-league.

Wouldn't work aucks. The ones left behind would implode financially. Like it or not, we are dependant on the big 6.

Does that have to be the case, though? The actual PL games would be much more interesting, and you wouldn't have this ridiculous 12-team scramble to avoid relegation.
Wages would be lower, but it would be a player-showcase for the Super League teams.
I know you're probably right, but the current situation has become farcical - in terms of the football itself. There were only six PL teams with a positive GD!
I can only see the situation becoming MORE entrenched. I wonder how long it will be before there is another Leicester.
