... it works perfectly well in Germany and you can buy a beer in the ground.

Won't happen though. Unfortunately, faceless corporate suits are taking our game away from us in the UK. The Premier League is no longer the English top flight, but rather a global brand that makes a mint for people who don't give a shit about the game itself.

Bring back terraces, ban foreign ownership of clubs, and a maximum of three foreign players on the pitch for any team at any one time. England still wouldn't win anything, but it would be a lot more fun than City, Chelsea et al buying the title with a team of mercenaries.

Rant over.
