I relation to the EPL I think the Club argument had more currency in the past when there was a real competition at the top. Now there are really only three clubs who contest the EPL and two of those are largely subsidised in their efforts through foreign money. The club game at the top end of the League was more exciting in the past. The EPL seems more like the European Leagues where only a very limited elite set of clubs ever win.
I suspect the atmosphere at England Team World Cup or Euro camps where there is a smaller group of players coming together to try and achieve something for England is probably quite good. If only N Ireland could get to that stage.
