At some point I expect Zaha's stance to be the dominant one. I wouldn't be surprised if it was widespread already but players don't want the attention that comes with stopping it.

Have these Romanians got a bet on England winning or something.

Alex Bruce will report you to talksport for that.

Southgate does come across well. I could picture him storming the interview process for a middle management job in the civil service.

Stupid move from him, a better job will pop up soon enough.

They should save themselves the embarrassment.

I was hoping Lampard would powerbomb them into the championship tbh.

Surprising one tbh. I suppose he must be desperate to stay in the PL.

Old firm fans never got their head around the order of things in modern football. They’re “big clubs” with a big history that have found themselves in a minnow league, just like Red Star Belgrade and many other clubs around Europe. I expect they see themselves as above clubs like that.

I wish we could hound them out.

Warms my heart that Fergie was there to witness the defeat.

If I had a favourite Spanish club it would be Villarreal. They seem like a proper club, with a great little stadium, and nice looking shirts.

Get in and fuck off

Well if he gets sacked he gets sacked, but I don't see why he would want to leave as a failure to go to a club that's a step down.

Going from PSG to Spurs would be absurd, especially with him just arriving. He should have a full season at PSG and get a couple of trophies under his belt, then move on to another top club in one of the top leagues. Spurs would be a bizarre backward step.

The amount of grief he gets for not winning trophies at Spurs is a joke. It’s Spurs. They have 2 league titles in their entire history, they have never been an elite club, regardless of what narrative the broadcasters want to push on us. If he fails to win things at PSG then that would be a big deal.

These Bruce’s are too thin skinned for top level sport, they should step away for their own good. How are they going to cope with fans in the stadium?

Really hope Fulham don’t get promoted next year, they’re utter garbage and gave up ages ago.

This was a silver lining on what has been possibly the least interesting or enjoyable season in my lifetime. Thanks Sunderland.

Werner why even bother celebrating that

We’ve gone from talking about big fines for the ESL 6, to “it’s not nice to punish them”, to talking about them competing for a new 100-150m striker. Shit sport.

Simon Jordan would be gutted.

Hodgson is basically what the media pretends Bruce is. Honest, reliable enough, and fundamentally a decent coach, without ever being particularly good. I hope they get someone more interesting though because the football has been fucking ugly.

I was put out by the ESL like everyone else, but I’ve become completely apathetic as time has gone on. I don’t know what it is that is so worth saving. For the broadcasters it was all solely about money, they don’t want these clubs going off and making their own deals. They don’t want fan power and they don’t care about filler clubs, who just exist to be opponents or patronised as a plucky underdog like Leicester. As soon as the fuss died down they went right back to worshipping the ESL 6 like nothing had happened. Now we’re looking at the likes of Rio Ferdinand for leadership in changing things, wtf is that? He should be the enemy of football fans, but Gary Neville welcomes him into his little “save our game” gang. They can fuck off with their petition, and I don’t think I care if the ESL is created and all the money leaves. Whatever survives can rebuild and maybe do things properly next time.
