I wonder how your proposal for a European super league would go down with the fans of newly-promoted Wolves, who have already drawn with both Manchester City and Manchester United this season? Or fans of Brighton, who beat Manchester United just a month ago? Or fans of recent Premier League champions Leicester City? Or fans of genuinely big clubs like Newcastle, Everton and West Ham?

Yesterday's game was a bit of a non-event, that's for sure, but that's more because of the way in which Cardiff City prepared for this season than anything else. Occasional drubbings like the one we saw at the CCS yesterday are pretty much inevitable for any club that attempts to compete in the Premier League with a squad that consists of Championship players.
