Never could stand Hansen but tbf, his remark was and still is generally true. He happened to make it about one of those once in a lifetime groups who truly deserved the expression 'Golden Generation'. No sympathy with the nob but the concept itself tends to get laughed at ever since he said it. However it's a bit like saying 'there's no way that 100-1 shot will win this race'.

i think if you're a pundit, the number 1 rule is to not 100% rule something out - you go with a 99% chance it won't happen, just to cover base.

before it's even started as well. Like i said it would, i never understood people saying it will just make the gap bigger. These teams spends nigh on £50m-£60m+ every summer. Whilst others were spending £10m-£15m. a £90m --> £40m i only saw as a possibility to make the competition better.

You know have teams who have players that you think are well beyond their team's level and have more chance of holding onto them

e.g. Payet at WHU, Cabaye at palace, Mahrez at Leicester, Wijnaldum at Newcastle, Shaqiri at Stoke

They won something like 5 or 6 games post Christmas that season all 1-0, with Cantona getting the goal each time

Him coming back was the turning point

The kids held their own like, but that was Cantona's title
 
Every fullish season Cantona played in England his club won the title ! When he was injured long term & when he was banned for his Kung Fu attack his clubs did not win the title, says it all really !
