The Saudis would definitely be Tories. To be honest, they'd be UKIP/BNP, so I'm not sure what the issue is?

I hope they haven't. They'd never recover from being acronymed by essembee

Nah, not the final. To go out in the Play-off semis would be more crushing. Getting to the final could mean they were unlucky on the day, or whatever lie they tell themselves. Failing to even get there would sow another seed of doubt that they'll ever get out of the third tier of English football.

More about financial security, isn't it? I mean, on the face of it, the Saudi takeover may turn us into a financial powerhouse, or something could go horribly wrong and they could leave us crippled with debt and facing administration. Don't think Howey's suggesting two relegations and tumultuous relationship with the fans is stability.

They could and should have battered us. Fabinho foul should be a red, [quote] SERIOUS FOUL PLAY A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play. Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play. VIOLENT CONDUCT Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made. In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible. [/quote] Fernandez was lucky and should have seen red. ASM is mint.

I'm touched. And terrified.

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
