If you can prove that, do so. If you can't, you should stop writing it.

And Chelsea won it the year before with what must have been the
worst side ever to do so. (52pts) Not just my opinion. The English top
division when through a very poor patch at that time. I know, because
I was there watching it.

Question. Did you ever see the Busby babes as i did so many times,
or is your opinion based on football folklore? Is it opinion based on
newspapers or actual experience? You understand the question?

Flattered though I am that you record my past posts, you seem to leave
out my replies. Your garbage......god forgive me......was covered more than
once but ignored. So, just one more time. If being placed in a very high
population area is not an essential advantage for a football clubs continued
success then explain why such clubs seem to win the league titles year
after year after year. With one exception, the Prem has been won by a
Manchester or London side every year since it started. The mayjor Euro
leagues show the same big city trend.

Obviously just a coincidence? Just an unusual statistical quirk that we
don't find Shrewsbury or Tiverton or Crewe competing for the title. No doubt
that, in time, teams like these with a potential fan base of a couple of
thousand, will start to win title after title just to set the stats
straight.
Why not? All that they need is a genius manager. SAF would have
done the job if he had gone there, regardless of poor potential support.

No, it won't happen, and there is a reason why. From the early 60's, it
became more difficult for smaller clubs to succeed where they had done.
occasionally, before. You have probably never heard of this. You have to
know a bit about the game, but they bought in the end of the maximum
wage. Clubs were allowed to pay whatever wages they liked rather than
all being the same. It was then that the gate money from highly populated
areas started to play a greater part.

You see the point "old fruit".... it is pretty bloody difficult to get
50.000
into a ground on a wet Saturday afternoon when that number makes up
for such a high proportion of the total population. Far easier for clubs
from big cities. Not so difficult if you give it some thought is it?
No, it is not the sole reason for Man U's success, or Arsenals', or
Chelsea's
or any other club......but it is a VITAL requirement without which there
won't
be any success. Which is exactly the point I made in the first place.

That was due to your strange reading. I said the opposite.

You obviously don't.

So....the floor is yours, (and I said "continued success") Name a
successful
Prem side from a small town with low population. How many of this type have
won the top div title since the late 60's compared to "big city" clubs.

A sensible mind old chum. One that realises that some clubs could afford to
buy Dennis Law from Italy , and to pay his wages, and some couldn't. Why?
Because of the population/gate money equation. Easy isn't it ...-)) ?

See Steve H's reply to you in this thread. If you're feeling up to it, you
could even venture a little reply .

Au contraire Les mate, they 'are' your replies.

But Les, you keep saying this, and I have already given you several examples
of teams who have enjoyed success without the VITAL large local population
to call on.

I even pointed out to you that United had a lot more competition for its
support from other local clubs than Chelsea enjoys but you didn't get round
to responding to that.

Not really Les, by your reckoning Birmingham should have won the European
cup countless times.

Les mate, you seemed to have missed my points about your arguing that United
didn't deserve to win the league over Chelsea because of Chelsea's injury
problems. United's were worse in the season in question. You dodged the
point.

And your bizarre claim that Chelsea deserve their Abramovich money as much
as United deserve the money they've gained from continued success on the
pitch. That strikes me as not a very rational stance, mate.

But the funniest thing about your whole ABU perspective is that you go to
such lengths to qualify United's success, undermining the Busby Babes,
desperately clinging on to the fact that United come from Manchester and not
Exeter, and try to pretend that it's a rational, neutral view. It's not
mate. It's a desperate and transparently bitter view from a Chelsea fan who
probably wouldn't even be on these ngs if a Russian billionaire hadn't
bankrolled his history-free zone of a club.
