Depends on the scale - those could be really large books....

When the original plans were announced for the European Super League, along with probably most football fans in this country,  I was delighted with the negative responses from the 'football family' (what an absolute joke that is) which brought pressure on the Big 6 to withdraw.

I have now completely changed my opinion and now reckon it would be the best thing that could happen for the game in this country. Remove Man City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool from the current PL and you wouldn't see overseas subscribers to SKY for dust, decimating their revenue. There would obviously be a period of uncertainty for many of those clubs left behind but examples of weekly wages of £20-30k in the Championship for quite average playrs are completely unsustainable - take away the current golden riches of the PL and hopefully some degree of sanity would return.

Probably will never happen though. 

I agree - let them go and break any ties so that they are cast adrift from the domestic leagues - no promotion or relegation between the super league and the domestic leagues - and if one of the big 6 starts to struggle and can't compete with the other super league teams, they can re-apply to join the domestic leagues from the bottom of the pyramid. Football should be about so much more than just pandering to the demands of the richest clubs.....

.....It is claimed he has a custom-built “throne” at the city ground....

 

Think this might be it - it allows him to shovel as much food in as he wants and yet he never needs to leave his 'seat'...

As a slight aside, I've just been trying to book a UK holiday - out of the dozens of self-catering properties I've looked at, one (only 1!) mentioned that they had EV charging available....

Confirmed he will leave in early 2025

Ipswich win 2-1 at Coventry so only need a point on Saturday to get automatic and leave Leeds in the playoffs 😁

Are you sure they're not just very large bananas? - would have been better to measure it using sausages....

Am I imagining it or did we sign a recruitment expert from Oxford and a youth development guy from Southampton. When are their skills/worth going to come to the fore?

possibly in the next transfer window?

In terms of impactful signings, Ebou has etched his name into Rams folklore because without him I don’t doubt for a single minute that we wouldn’t have been promoted automatically. He’s been absolutely phenomenal for us. 

At first there was Osman, then there was Thorne, followed by the trio of Mount, Wilson and Tomori.. now there is Ebou Adams.

Surprised you didn’t include Danny Graham or Harvey White in that list….

Feels like a vintage crop to me. Like the Rossi - Marquez era back in the day, only with more players. Great shouts anyways chaps. Properly rekindled my love of the sport, so thanks for that🙏

Long may it continue - I just have a dread of what Liberty might do to it given how F1 is going….

Another brilliant MotoGP weekend - sprint was mad due to wet patches on the track but the main race produced yet another stonking battle for the win…

1st goal was scored while Florest were down to ten men while Nuno dithered over making a substitution - 2nd goal was after Murillo had done his groin and Nuno dithered about making a substitution - perhaps Clatters should write a letter to Nuno insisting that he does a better job of managing his team….

The PL Twitter account has apparently posted the following:

“Following their defeat to Newcastle, Sheffield Utd are relegated pending Everton and Nott'm Forest's points-deduction appeals."

This is being interpreted as meaning that the points deduction could be increased as a result of the appeals…. Perhaps Florest could write a strongly worded letter protesting about this suggestion….

I use fotmob which lets you select which leagues/competitions you're interested in and mark favourite teams - though you do have to click on the individual match to see scorers

Looks like Leeds are falling apart (again).

Lots of rumours that Adrian Newey is going to leave Red Bull - and that he may be heading for Ferrari!

Everton leading Liverpool 2-0 after an hour…not sure who the dogs will blame for that

There’s loads of spare seats together at the City Ground. Awful atmosphere but swings and roundabouts?

If they get relegated, do you think they'll be able to force the 10,000 on the waiting list to buy a ticket to make up for those that stop going?....

FA and the PL are both now investigating - it’s not going to end well for the tinpot  whingers..

Taxi for Ten Hag

He looked absolutely shell-shocked when the equaliser went in…

3-3

Penalty to Coventry in the 92nd minute!

Man Ure 3-0 up in the FA cup and cruising - Coventry drag it back to 3-2 and are really giving it a go….
