It may seem unpredictable from game to game but over the whole season it isn't

3 teams are left in the premiership race after only 12 rounds because they have the best players with no limit on spending-very predictable

Nothing worse when 1 or 2 teams always winning the title

Like Chicago in basketball winning 5 in a row(if memory serves correct)

Liverpool winning everything that moved in the 70s/80s

Man U winning god knows how many in the 90s

We've got a similar thing in Australia with Brisbane having won the last 3 premierships.If they win the fourth thats it for me.I'm switching to netball

Its just not healthy for the fans interest

Isn't the whole point of going to a game the atmosphere

If your team wins or loses is irrelevant as long as the match was entertaining

I'm always particularly amused by the fan who sits quietly like a meek mouse when their team is losing but a roaring lion when they are winning
Your team needs you the most when they are losing
Very few supporters seem to have worked this out yet-feel good johnies the lot of em

He didn't want to make enemies...Bullshit...wasn't that long ago we Oceania lost our direct qualification to the World Cup 23-1 if I remember correctly...forget the enemies its the friends that count and we have none...not even Septic Bladder

Smacks of Racism to me....pure & simple...black v white
I wonder if charlie has landed a cushy jobs for the boys somewhere
New Zealand soccer attache in Germany maybe

How he was able to take it upon himself to abstain after the Oceania Confederation had agreed to support South Africa shows a real short coming in the process.

The whole vote should have been called null & void and started again
and then all the bribery/lobbying could start all over again
