Like I said before: money is not the problem, it's where it comes from. Furthermore the Italian teams were never owned by sheiks or Russian billionaires.
Diden't know you had contacts in Russia,Saudia Arabia and USA that states otherwise for me there all succesful business men until proven otherwise.

Even if you're a lifelong Chelsea, Manchester, Liverpool or Arsenal fan you have to be disgusted with what is happening to the EPL. Yes, surely it is the best league right now, by far even. But at what cost?
It's not sustainable in the long run. It will be interesting to see what happens in five years when their country has finally felt the effects of a depression. Hopefully their banks will have unforeseen exposure into other collapsing nations and, if so, investing into the EPL might not be the smartest of moves.

Just like an American to be so sensitive towards racism.
:shifty:

Well, the Saudis look like imbeciles right now. Their oil money is drying up and their CitiBank investments are the biggest running joke in the finance world right now.

Still the best in the Prem though m8, I don't understand why he doesen't play Vela anymore abit like Gio's situation but consist on playing that useless Dane Bender.
Not by a longshot mate, Man United, Tottenham and City all play better football this season.


Neither Bentdner nor Vela should play. The former because he's crap, and the latter isn't just ready yet. Come to think of it, neither should Denilson, Diaby and Eboue play. First two because they're average. The third, you either play him in his position or don't play him at all. He's a horrid winger.

It's true. Not everyone is so hooked into your racism culture you know. Just because someone makes a comment that seems racist to your hypersensitive racism sensors doesn't mean it's really racist. All the guy said was why would Italians be supporting a black American president. So what? In any other country that sentence is perfectly fine. Not everyone is as PC as you guys.

All I'm sayin. We are speaking English here but that doesn't mean every sentence is automatically placed within American contemporary culture.

And not without reason. Germans have good reason to be skeptical of nationalism too. Just that it doesn't mean any occurrence of nationalism anywhere is automatically nazism.

No, Martin, it was a racist post.

It could imply two things:

1) Italians supporting a black president is wrong.
2) It is strange of Italians to support a black president, which means he was labelling them racists.
