Gutted I skipped the PPV and watched something else instead.

Derby owner Mel Morris on Sky having a dig at premier league clubs wanting to “sit on their pot of gold”. His club spends way more than its revenue on wages, yet he feels entitled to a “pot of gold”. Starting to irritate me how these clubs are being treated like poor orphans.

It would be hilarious if a European super league was formed and they were left out, 2 league titles in your history shouldn’t get you into such a group. The others would drop them no problem if it came down to it.

Well I always saw Man U fans as the worst of the worst, but my observation is that they have more awareness than Liverpool fans, who seem to be living a fantasy in which their club is a persecuted hero.

Ah well, nevermind.

I’ve had a look on both Man U and Liverpool forums to see what they were saying. Liverpool fans were surprisingly more disgraceful than the Man U lot.

I think they will hope the threat to leave will force some watered down changes, then more watered down changes later on, then more, until they get everything they want. Then when they have maxed their growth potential within the premier league it will be time for the European super league, though I’m not sure all 6 of them will get into it. I don’t think all this coming out was planned, I get the impression the rest of the big 5 and Spurs didn’t want it to come out. The cards are all on the table now though.

They rejected their own proposal? It's like getting into a fight and punching yourself in the face before the other person gets a chance to do it to you.

Watch Liverpool and Man U fans try to claim credit for saving the football league. “It would never have happened if we didn’t try to seize power.”

I'm not sure I completely understand how the current system is forcing lower league clubs to go broke to be honest. As far as I'm aware overspending is endemic down there and it's down to mismanagement and poor regulation. Poor business fundamentals and the pandemic are killing them, this would be killing them even if they were getting a bigger slice of the premier leagues money.

People like Gary Neville are being really naive about this, maybe because he’s desperate, but he’s far from the only one. He seems to have it in his head that the rescue package for league clubs is the main part of the proposal and that the power grab is a side issue that can be negotiated.

This thing looks dead in the water to me, and Liverpool and Man U have proven themselves to be scumbag clubs. I can’t quite get over their executives sitting around agreeing that they should get to decide whether another club gets a takeover, it seems like it should illegal.

Eric Dier Utterly average player

I find it funny how Everton, West Ham, and Southampton would be conned into thinking they're part of the elite group, when really the "big 6" would club together and make them and their votes completely irrelevant.

Repulsive stuff, and hearing of this sort of thing is becoming more and more common. It reminds me of the Juventus chairman earlier in the year saying Atalanta shouldn't be allowed in the CL over a big club just for having a good season. The game is run by absolute cunts that are not football fans.

Lovely little fuck you to the consumers.

I like a grumpy Lawrenson on commentary during a really shit game full of diving.

Welbeck and Wilshere. Not a good day for players I always thought were overrated.

I honestly wouldn’t even swap Bruce for Solskjaer. It’s bizarre that he even has a job in the premier league, nevermind at Man Utd, spending massive money and in charge of some seriously talented players.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Fulham end up with one of the all time low points totals.

This is tragic.

We can’t call it Latin at this point, that shit has been accepted in English football for way too long. Acting the fanny is as much English as it is Argentinian.

Man Utd need to send Maguire upfront and start playing for handballs, that’s how you get at Spurs.

The Slur Alex days are well and truly over.

So Lamela hitting Martial got reviewed and was ok’d?
