How can you say the top teams are the only ones that would benefit from an expanded bench? Do other teams not get injured players? Do all the top English talented youngsters come from teh books of United, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal? Have you forgotten about Middlesbrough?

It is nice to give the managers a challenge, but i feel it's better to blood some youngsters, not at the team's expense but when the team is doign well like in overwhelming victories. Nowadays a loss is huge in the league, so throwing some youngsters in just to see if they make the grade is too risky. Teams are winning the league with as few as 2-3 losses in a season. And those are requirements, i'm not saying they do that cuz they are leagues better than the rest.
