Doesn't seem to affect their ability to humiliate us each year though.
Losing to PSV.
Losing to Dinamo Zagreb and now Olympiakos.
English Football is really slipping away from the elite. It's not simply a case of the 'lower' clubs are getting better, it's also a case of the top clubs are getting worse.
Liverpool fell away some time ago, United are in recovery mode from a meltdown. Chelsea won a one horse race last year and are now falling to pieces, City couldn't buy the Champions League.
Years ago, The English top four would give Madrid, Barca, Bayern and co a run for their money and go above and beyond... Can't tell me English Football's not in decline, just because the moneys there doesn't mean the strength and quality is.
