With the OP on this, Citeh buying the league is a bad sign for English domestic football. Citehs only competition will come from abroad and mark my words, by 2018 or so we will have a Euro Super League and the teams remaining in the domestic leagues will be mere training clubs for those in the ESL.

People may say Utd have paid top dollar for most of their players, but they have built up their fortune and status over many years Citeh and Chelsea became powerfull over night and with great fortune.

Citeh could have been Wigan, Bolton or pretty much any other team in England. The amount of Citeh shirts I'm seeing around is cringe worthy.
If Spurs had won the league today, and your team's players were walking around White Hart Lane with Dutch, French, American, Togolese, Cameroonian and Croatian flags around their necks - would it also have disgusted you?
If there hadn't have been an English flag too then yes it would, I'm pretty consistent when it comes to my views about football so if I disagree with something about any aspect of the game that also stands for my team too.

No, because it would mean my Delorean was working, and I was back in 1961 hehe

See I dont see why this is an issue?

I was watching some spanish game the other day and at the end the players came on pitch and they had flags of the countries they were from and no one questioned them.

When serie a was on c4 and gazza was there you would see england flags being waved there in support of gazza. whether they were english or italian people you do see various countries flags flying to show support of the players.

Yet in england you rarely see this its only today at the end that man city have won the league they've got flags of their countries out. For all the years of the premiership being won by chelsea/man u/arsenal i never once saw terry, rooney or campbell picking up an england flag and draping themselves with it. no one complained then. no one stopped them today. so if hart didnt want to drape a flag yet others did whats the issue?

the english premier league long stopped being a game representing the best of english/british talent and became a global game.

and please, spitting is disgusting.
