The reason you are doing badly this year is not because you're victims of a hoofball culture in this league that forces out attractive footballing teams such as yourselves, as you so often tag yourselves. Yes, that's right folks, read interviews from Southampton players (Current position: somewhere crap and miles behind us) and they seem to think that they're footballing luminaries who should be gracing Europe with their current squad. Charltontina take it a step further, happily ignoring Chris Iwelumo and complaining that not only is it the bully boys like us who are stopping them from winning, which they deserve to do, but the weather. As for Brazil, don't you realise that they have the most talented squad there has ever been in this league?
The argument goes that while their enthralling tippy tappy game cannot thrive in this league because of bullies stopping them from walking into the goal and passing the ball on the halfway line for 25 minutes, in the Premiership they'd be able to win lots of games easily and stay up. Hold on a minute - something's not right there. They 'play the same style' as Premiership teams and should be able to take them on, while the hopeless thugs who crush them in this league wouldn't last for 5 minutes. Surely if that were the case then any long ball team would be top of the Premiership, seeing as these tippy tappy teams that are so easily destroyed by cloggers could easily hold their own. We all know that that just isn't true, though.
The reason, therefore, that the likes of Southampton, Brazil and Charltontina are not sitting at the top of this division is because they are crap. Pure and simple. That's why Brazil's magnificent midfield are still plying their trade in Smethwick - they're at their level. They're not good enough for Premiership teams. I know I'd take Liam Lawrence over any of them. It's not the system, it's the players. Our football may be far from pretty at times and we all know that it has plenty of faults, but at least our players are designed to use it and work within it. They're geared to our system and other teams with worse players cannot bear that we play to our strengths in order to succeed, while they try to 'play the right way', but are crap at it. The best passing teams don't pass it along the back 4 on the halfway line all day, They play good, passing, ATTACKING football, with flair and incisive passing. This league's charlatans play some rubbish that they call 'proper football', while we just attack the opposition and play football with flair (see R. Fuller) and good passing when we get to where it matters.
Also, pundits - what's wrong with using long throws? It'd be stupid not to use it to your advantage, especially when the thrower is a handy player.
