I'm a bit of a rarity, i love watching football, but i do not actually support a specific team. I've always followed the London clubs and go to White Hart Lane and Stamford Bridge every now and again (i'm yet to go to the Emirates but i plan to next year). It appears to me that the attraction of the London clubs is getting stronger, with the prime example being the calibre of players being attracted to Spurs. With Dos Santos moving from Barcelona, Modric choosing Spurs over a host of other clubs and Bentley turning down teams that finished higher last year to join Tottenham, plus the likes of Chelsea obviously attracting word class talent like Deco and Fulham making some decent signings too - do you think that the London clubs will begin to dominate our leagues?

there is definitley some real quality football in the capital- but you shouldnt just look in the premiership. QPR have become one of the richest clubs in the country with all their investment and have put together a strong team this year. Charlton will have a crack at promotion this year and Palace are strong now they have neil warnock. Even lower down the leagues the Orient had a decent season last year and millwall cant play as badly again. and keep your eyes on afc wimbledon- theyll make it to the league in no time! all in all id agree that football in london is looking very healthy at the moment

All true points, except that you have somehow overlooked mentioning Arsenal in all this! Our youth players coming through are top class, watch out for Carlos Vela, and Bendtner will come good this year too! I cant say i share your passion for the other London teams, i'd happily see Spurs and Chelsea fail after spending such silly money!
