But that's just it. I wouldn't pay money to watch two teams play like Chelsea 
did unless I had "a pre-existing emotional attachment to them." There's no law 
forcing anyone to watch teams they don't support, and there's no law that says 
teams get points for aesthetics. It's not ice dancing, it's football.

On the very rare occasions I watch football on TV, I don't feel cheated if the 
teams aren't trying to entertain me. I feel cheated if they're not trying to 
win.

 

 Cheers!

Sean

It's about both, surely? I'd probably be happy if Leeds won the occasional 
mismatch by "parking the bus" as some diva prick once put it. But why, unless 
you had a pre-existing emotional attachment to them, would you pay money to 
watch two teams play like Chelsea did? Tedious in the extreme.
