The Fish

Look, if insisting on a full 20 second hug with every tradesman is weird, I don't want to be normal.

Yes please.

We can't even get a builder round to give us a fucking quote! Mate of Mrs Fish is a builder and estimated the job we wanted in a couple of minutes when he was last over, but the pricks round here most be SoooOOOoooOOOoo busy. Arseholes.

Nah, he'll have notes on his hand written by Ashley to push back against the 'Big 6' getting anything less than a shoeing. Ashley would love for those clubs to have less power in the PL, because then he could sell us to the Saudis and get out of the business ASAP. I reckon it would be someone like Wolves, or Leicester.

Sorry, but players, managers and fans are punished when mismanagement leads to administration. The reason Man Utd, Spurs, Barcelona, and the Italian clubs wanted this league is because they're so far in debt it makes a mockery of the idea of Fit and Proper. Punishment should be meted out on them, whether it's fines, points deduction, transfer embargo, banned from CL or whatever. And if the managers, players and fans are unhappy with that, they should be reminded that it's their owners who brought it upon their club.

So, if the changes to the CL rules means that those clubs get in regardless, they can't have huge concerns over a Saudi takeover now, right? #CANS

I firmly believe that if you can't be arsed to go into work, you shouldn't. If that means phoning up and putting on 'the voice' then so be it.

FIGHT!!

Imagine Charnley in that meeting man

Wasn't he being binned off by Liverpool when Leicester were winning the title?

Wait, what? Do the drivers get a say? Like if 10,000 kids watching on Twitch decide to give him a boost just as he's approaching a turn... well, that's just good tv.

I'd be surprised if they refused to play the other six teams. Honestly, I think the ESL won't happen in it's proposed form. I think the 12 teams will negotiate even more power over their domestic and continental competitions, their broadcast rights etc.

And who picks them? You're really, really, bad at this.

UK Government getting a tap in by being strongly against it. But like, a Lineker tap in, rather than a Joelinton one.

I think I'd fancy going to watch it live, same for Baseball. It's an American experience. Just like walking down the Vegas strip, or getting a cable car in San Francisco, or getting mugged in New York.

The 'European' Super League without a single German team, no Dutch teams, no Portuguese, no French. Not getting a real European vibe from this.

It might be, but tv's ruined it.

30 second adverts or longer while the kicky one runs off and the runny one runs on. How long before the ESL brings in adverts during subs, before throw-ins, after goals, for the suddenly introduced mandatory mid-half water break. If NFL had it's way, there'd be 4hrs of adverts broken up by quick 30 seconds of actual sport.

"The breaks are also called during stoppages due to injury, instant replay challenges, when either of the participating teams uses one of its set of timeouts, and if the network needs to catch up on its commercial advertisement schedule. " and if the network needs to catch up on its commercial advertisement schedule. fuck all to do with the sport, purely to satisfy advertisers. Bellissimo

They tanked their season.

Aye, anyone saying they wouldn't want to watch a title race between Everton and Leicester are exactly the same as those who would have said they wouldn't want to watch a race between Man City and Chelsea 20 yrs ago.

Dolphins did it in 2019. [quote]American football (NFL): The National Football League requires twenty commercial breaks per game or 16 starting in the 2018 season, with ten or 8 starting in the 2018 season in each half. Exceptions to this are overtime periods, which have none. These breaks run either a minute, or two minutes in length. Of the ten commercial breaks per half or 8 starting in the 2018 season, two are mandatory: at the end of the first or third quarter, and at the two-minute warning for the end of the half. The remaining eight or 6 breaks starting in the 2018 season are optional.[1] The timeouts can be applied after field goal tries, conversion attempts for both one and two points following touchdowns, changes in possession either by punts or turnovers, and kickoffs (except for the ones that start each half, or are within the last five minutes). The breaks are also called during stoppages due to injury, instant replay challenges, when either of the participating teams uses one of its set of timeouts, and if the network needs to catch up on its commercial advertisement schedule. The arrangement for college football contests is the same, except for the absence of the two-minute warning.[/quote] But it happens way more often than in actual football. Are you a customer enjoying a delicious slice of pizza? Cos you just got SERVED, yo!

Bruce is just Mourinho in five years time.

No penalty for being the worst in the division, and in fact tanking the season is actually beneficial to get that 1st round draft pick you want. Teams just lifted out of their community and moved across the country because the owner's can get a bigger slice of the pie in Bumfuck Idaho. The game stopping for adverts. Nah, not for me.

Yeah, had my first dose of Astra Zenica a while ago. I'm convinced it's because the NHS thought I'd had a transplant and have sickle cell anemia. Even though I twice told them I'm a different bloke.
