teams are bulit around star players, teams that are successful often have one or two individuals that play for themselves and produce that moment of magic. its what separates the good teams from the great teams.everyone on this forum fronts and chats about players there teams have signed, its normal.they might not actually have seen them for a full 90 mins, but obviously their opinion has been based on talk from various people, both in the know and just general chat. you can't really say that someone's knowledge of football is grealy reduced because they aren't at the stadium, unless you are walking into the changing rooms at half time with the players and getting first hand information. sky definately gives the fans a better perspective. the only resason i'm going to watch a game is to soak up the atmosphere and to cheer on my team. i'm not there analysing movement and tactics.anyway no one on this forum seems to be season ticket holder, so everyone's opinions are near enough coming from the same place.
