Football Corner decided recently to begin interviewing bloggers through the football MSM. Since then, I've received the answers from several prominent bloggers. Today, we begin publishing them, and will do so every Monday in the forseeable future. I am starting the series with weblog writer Ben from Football To You. He was kind enough to take part in the series and here are his views.
FC: First of all, do you think goal-line technology should be brought into the game?
FTY: I am kind of split on this matter, one side of meis of the opinion that goaline technology is a good ides, it willerradicate the bad decisions we have seen in recent weeks that haveultimately cost clubs points. But then the other side of me thinksthat these decisions are part of the game we love. Without thesedecisions football isn't as exciting, unpredictable, and it therewouldn't be any debate like the one being held at the moment. I amalso of the opinion that it would slow the game down and interupt the flow.
FC: Do you believe Chelsea's money in the game is good or bad?
FTY: Ah Mr. Abramovich, as a Manchester United fan theobvious answer would be no I don't like the fact that Chelsea haveloads of money. But I don't think this because of the way United havebeen put out of the championship race already. I just don't believethat one man should be able to ruin years of hard work in thepremiership. Several clbs Man Utd and Arsenal included have beenbringing up young players, but now these youngsters are unable toguide their club to victory because Chelsea can sign any superstarthey want. Chelseas money has removed any form of competitiveness fromthe premiership. It's time salaries were capped and their should betighter controls on who can take over clubs.
FC: Who in your eyes do you think is the best player in the world + best young player?
FTY: At The moment it has to be Ronaldhino, hecontinues to bring out the best tricks, is an incredible assiter togoals, scores wel from midfield and is clearly the playmaker forBarcelona. Class act. I have 4 candidates for best young player.Rooney- Great power skill strength finishing ability, desire, he hasit all. The other three are Ronaldo, Robinho and Fernando Torres,although for me Rooney is No.1
FC: Who do you think will win the Champions League?
FTY: Chelsea, they are just unstopable.
FC: Who do you think will win the UEFA Cup?
FTY: VFB Stuttgart.
FC: Who do you think will win the Premiership?
FTY: Chelsea, already 13 points clear they will havewon the league by christmas.
FC: Who do you think will win La Liga?
FTY: Barcelona, Osasuna don't have what it takes to retain1st. Real Madrid's days are one they aren't consistent enough.
FC: Who do you think will win Seire A?
FTY: Juventus, 5 points clear they have the class.
FC: And finally, which of those three leagues do you think is the best and why?
FTY: Best league of the three is the premiership , it has the best players,so many of them are world class. La Liga is could and possibly morecompetitive but not enough of the teams are good footballing sides.Serie A has only 2 quality teams, Juventus and AC Milan. Others aren'tcapable of challenging. The premiership is fast and exciting but ifChelsea's money continues to ruin it then this time next year myanswer might be La Liga.
