It might not last long [quality of BPL] if Platini keep pursuing the 6+5 system 

Well, 6+5 only means MORE QUALITY British players

Who said only foreign players are good?

@blinky,

so that's why Liverpool only has like... two regular British starters then?

Well, 6+5 only means MORE QUALITY British players

That's because our manager is a bloody Spaniard We had more Spanish players on the starting eleven compared to Real Madrid on both legs of the First Knockout Round

Shameful for us or shameful for Madrid? 

Quotas on foreign players have never worked. Just look at Malaysia

iirc, fifteen bucks back then you have gotten you admission into stadium penampang to watch olleranshaw and the rest of the lads play, as well as a bottle of coca cola that came in a plastic bag with oversized pieces of ice, which you must lob at zainal abidin hassan whenever he comes over to take a throw in, again with the obligatory 'kuda tua' insult!

those were the times.

‘Do You Come From Manchester?’: A postcode analysis of the location of Manchester United and Manchester City Season Ticket Holders, 2001 (Attached)

Important Points

- Perceptions about football support in Manchester centred around a popular, but contested, stereotype. This stereotype portrays Manchester United as unconnected to the city, with few local supporters and a fan base which is more national and international than Mancunian. Such portrayals also have Manchester City as a more locally focussed club with a strong Manchester supporter base.

- We were given access to the 2001 season ticket databases of both clubs.

- This is an analysis of Season Ticket holders only - we do not make any comment on the wider fan base (see ‘Further Research’).

- This is an analysis of data held in 2001 and both datasets will have changed since then (this is especially true of Manchester City, who now have considerably more Season Ticket holders).

There are lots of numbers in there but I just skip to the conclusion.

- In terms of the importance of football - and these two clubs in particular - to the city and region, these findings suggest that both retain strong local links and remain embedded in their host areas.

- This evidence also suggests that, despite the huge changes in football’s finance, organisation and consumption in the last decade or so - processes which have suggested to some that football has become ‘gentrified’ and has lost its association with ‘place’ - hard core support for both clubs remains strongly regional and local.

- Further, despite the contrasting fortunes of both clubs since the formation of the Premier League, patterns of Season Ticket holder location remains strikingly similar.
