Apparently Megson is fielding a weakened team in their UEFA cup tie tonight because he needs to save his best players for the Premiership fixtures  . So this is yet more evidence of how the money in the Premiership completely distorts and devalues everything else in football. Twenty years ago, a club like Bolton Wanderers would have regarded participation in the UEFA Cup as a massive achievement and something worth playing for. Now it seems prestigious achievements count for nothing compared to midtable Premiership mediocrity.  |

It's unbelievable
and a bad reflection on the game
when you think how hard they must of worked to get into Europe and then when they still have a chance to progress they show little interest, it is a massive cheat on the fans.
i would be pissed off if Stoke did that.
