But let's say Newcastle won a trophy (using strong imagination) - what's the achievement? 6 teams have deemed it beneath them, so it's meaningless. Like the Papa John's Trophy.

Wouldn't want anything to do with the leftovers. Well done, you've won the trophy for 7th best English side. It would decimate domestic football.

Just have to hope that the governments and EU find a law to prevent this. Because if it gets the go-ahead, goodbye football.

The momentum has swung very quickly, like. Impressive.

Think they'll keep this season's competitions going - if ESL falls through, you don't want history to show a mark against this season. I'm a stickler for things being completed. But after that? Ban them from everything, fuck 'em.

Nice one, Pep

Oh definitely. Maybe the offer will still come, as the ESL continue to struggle adding more clubs. May as well invite the Saudis. Or maybe the PL now waves this bid through with a plea to buy as many Man United, Man City and Liverpool players as possible, in an act of revenge

Woke up today a bit confident that a couple of clubs will wobble, as reported. I certainly don't think they'll find more clubs to join the 12 - then if Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool or Barcelona start getting cold feet, that's when UEFA/PL threaten them wtih the harshest punishment. FINISH HIM. Really like how everyone has pulled together, fighting for the same thing. We're even cheering on PSG and UEFA, man

Premier League will probably wave this through with a clear message to get Fernandes, Salah and De Bruyne back. Revenge on the ESL.

Dunno how true this might be but I do think Liverpool may be vulnerable - known for this romanticism, love of fans, You'll Never Walk Alone etc. It's kind of their thing. If they're stuck on 12 teams and can't get PSG, Bayern, Dortmund, Porto etc to enter, the momentum has swung the other way and it's suddenly just a glorified friendly tournament with a Chinese Super League vibe.

This needs to be step one of mobilising the troops. Whether you're a fan, a player, a pundit, whether you're Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland.... we have to get together and do whatever it takes to stop this cancer killing our sport for good.

Getting kind of emotional watching MNF here

Can't really call it a Super League without Bayern or PSG, let's hope there's an EU law that prevents this criminal proposal. The league itself will be boring as fuck, meanwhile they'll destroy every other competition. Football implodes..... brilliant.

He's either spoken out against it, Spurs have decided the payoff is now relatively small or have thought today is a great day to bury such news. Hope it's the first one!

Things have gone insane

Nicely put

Can the EU intervene and stop this with one of their laws?

I really can't call how this would affect our takeover. PROS: the PL want to fuck off the 'Big Six' and would now like the Saudi money; plus the Saudis will see a clear route into being one of the patronised 'Five Football Fwends' invitees. CONS: the PL loses appeal without these teams; they might rather invest into one of them. But also, if this Super League really happens, who the fuck even cares about the sport anymore?

Won't be able to sleep tonight, like. Historical stuff by the hour. Absolutely mental stuff about to happen.

Get Rashford to speak out. Get some big names to condemn it, please.

I'm just overwhelmed that this could be the biggest event in football history. And the consequences of this, if FIFA, UEFA and the FAs stay strong, could be monumental.

After slowly starting to hate football, this news is exactly the push I need tbh.
