Might be rose-tinted specs, but the standard of football across the board looked so much better than in today's game. Slicker passing, showboating with an end result, thunderbolts from outside the box... it was like a different sport at times.

I remember back then it didn't really matter which teams were involved in the Sky live match; it was usually worth watching. Compare that to some of the stinkers on Sky and ESPN these days...

At the risk of generalising, are today's attacking players less skilled or are defensive players (and defensive tactics) just improving?

TBF when Sky do these reviews they tend to leave out the shite games
