But the UEFA punishments aren't that bad IIRC, and Villa will obviously increase their revenue so I wouldn't be too worried. Even after reading that, it feels like your owners has picked the wrong side on this one.

Sorry to quote myself, but honestly this makes so much sense that I’m sure the PL hasn't even thought about it, and id they did they discarded it straight away. Would mean that any team can only spend what they themselves can currently afford without having to pay fines down the pyramid, so it stops absolute chancers coming in and trying to have a one off great season with money they might not have. But at the same time it allows the likes of us, Villa, West Ham etc to be as ambitious as the ones at the absolute top without worrying about points deductions.

Not as long as the 85% of your turnover still stands, which at the moment it does. It would only affect Man City and Chelsea currently I think.

Something like the new rule sounds so much more fair than the bullshit FFP we've seen up until now. 5x seems a tad too much though, but whatever, it would put everyone on a much more level playing field and allow any even the newly promoted teams to spend and be ambitious if they sustain it. Can't work along with the 70/85% rules they are bringing in as well if there's points deductions for breaking that. Actually, it would work pretty well to have the rumoured "Luxury Tax" on the 85/70% rule, and then point deductions for the 5x Lowest Income rule.

I don’t know any match going fans that are even remotely in favour of VAR. It's absolutely ace going to games here and not having to worry about the absolute bullshit that is VAR. If a goal is scored, you take a quick glance at the linesman and if his flag is down, you celebrate like a mad man. It's fucking great tbh.

This Liverpool starting eleven is pretty shite (by their standards) like.

And the fact that Ratboy has publicly said he's the best there is. Would love it if we use that clip of him saying that and saying if you want the best you have to fucking pay for it.

Well chuffed that Leicester are back up. They wont just make up the numbers, they will actually try and compete. Can't be fucked with promoted teams that are as bad as the ones we got this season

Højlund looks a massive talent Tbf. Just nowhere near as good as Isak.

Have you got a proper source for that?

Did I read that Mudryk and Enzo got another years bump on their already ridiculously long contracts a couple of weeks ago? If so, that wouldtwouldn't even count towards FFP amortisation, would it? So just giving a couple of failures even less of an incentive to pick up

Be canny if they have a shit end to the season (yesterday was a good start) so Yankee Todd panics and sacks Poch.

Not included in the highlights Ive seen, anyone know which minutes they happened?

Bellingham is just insane

Really hate the 5 subs rule. Feel like the entire second half has been interrupted by subs.

Spurs missed out on CL that season when we fluked fifth under Pardew thanks to an English team winning the CL, now they'll miss out on CL thanks to English teams being shite in Europe

Callum would get goals a plenty playing with Barnes and Gordon flanking him

I reckon Froggy SHOULD get a fucking life.

Can't believe Im going to say this, but aye I agree. Getting rid of the away goal rule has definitely been a positive mind.

Pretty blatant encroaching by Jackson for the penalty. Why wasn't it retaken?

Surely that wasn't Arteta outside of the technical area?

How is that not a booking for dissent on VvD?

Obviously hes still our first choice full back, but Tino is right there breathing down his neck. Interesting that both can play either side mind, can't be often teams switch sides of their full backs.

What a post

We've needed him to be in between the absolute radge packet that he was for a while, but still being able to pick up a booking when needs be. Without being able to remember any situations, I'm fairly certain we would have picked up a few more e points if he could have taken a booking. I fucking hope we don't ever sell him mind. After Isak, who has literally been my favourite player since he was 16, he's the one I want to keep. The way he plays football is how I would want to play if I had any talent. Kind of reminds me of Modric when he was at his best, but Bruno got a bit more bite to him than Modric did.
