So the proposal is basically a closed shop Champions League. It'll never get off the ground. A European Super League can only be a good thing tbh. A super sanitized, uncompetitive league for a tourists and corporate box wankers while we would hopefully see a rivitalization in the competitiveness of English domestic football. Theres a good chance it'd die on its arse anyway. Like Neesy said, who's going to give a fuck about Dortmund V Benfica in a glorified friendly. If you have no relegation and no qualification for a European tournament, the majoirty of teams would have nothing to play for most of the season. Its different in the PL. New teams every season. 6 European qualification places for two (soon to be 3) different european competitions and 3 relegation places theres more often than not, something to play for. There's plenty of narrative to be had. How much story can you create with the same 18 teams every season mostly with nowt to play for? Even if it was a success, why the fuck should I care? I'll still watch Newcastle along with thousands of others. Potentially in a more competitive league with qualification to a UEFA European Competition. Let them go, it might just be the best thing to happen to English football.

Bet he won't blame his drinking buddy though. I dont think thats true of Shearer like. Dont think he'd be afraid to call it how he see's it, regardless of his relationship with Bruce. Stuck the boot in on MOTD. -
Wolves (away) Everton (home) Southampton (away) Chelsea (home) Palace (away) our next 5 like. We're in trouble.

He left him on and didnt even use his 3rd sub until the 89th minute. What was the fucking point.

Cant think of many more Rohan Ricketts had quite the tour

Southgate has one way of playing. Try and control the game, grow into it and try and knick something something. It worked against Belgium and is suited against teams that will have a go at us but we're absolutely shit against lesser but organised sides. Totally unable to break them down. That Denmark team will have played together for years. Teams that have less of a talent pool are often fairly organised and we simply cannot break them down. Did he learn nothing from the Croatia semi final? This was the exact type of game to put a bit of faith in your creative players but he simply wont do it. It made sense to go conservative against Belgium but at home against Denmark stick Grealish in there ffs. Give Sancho a go from the start. Trust your flair players. Try something more expansive, something that isnt 532 with three rigfht backs on the pitch. Southgate is too one dimensional, inflexible and unable to play any other way seemingly. Doesnt bode well.

Its come on loads. The last WC was a genuinely good watch. Anyone slagging off womens football for the sake of it is a cunt. No more so than these pair of wankers... however this video will never not be funny

Every time I hear or see this man speak, it becomes more obvious as to why we were relegated in 2016.

I did think it was Ashley Barnes for a moment like
-
He has us sat within grasp of European places and in the QF of the cup. Have one for me Brucey

Pete Graves is fucking nauseating like. Excellent window man. Bare minimum to stave off relegation.

Gary McAllister perhaps. Coventry seemingly happy to let him go on a free and he did well for Liverpool. Klose had a good few seasons in Italy after leaving Bayern, probably could still have done a job. Defoe for sure, Spurs let him go for a low fee to Toronto, didnt play there long and he was back before long banging in 15 league goals a season for a shite Sunderland side. Its hard to say though, often players look like they're on the decline then new surroundings give them a late second wind.

Fair play Ginola

Think they'll kick on this season like. Especially seeing as they now have a striker. Young squad too.
-
These cunts being utterly embarrassed will never get old. Get it up ye!

Steve Mcmanaman is absolutely unlistenable like. The least insightful co commentator I've ever heard.

Even in a front two, whenever Wilson was up top he was isolated. So off the pace its painful.
