Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[King Theo]

They're going to say he makes 100K a week, deal with it but the new format is a joke.

Wonder if a player union starts because of this.

it really makes me wonder what teh future of football is. Players union...Combined leagues( spain and france for instance ..not super leagues)...etc.

Imagine they brought back the two group phases.

I was listening to a podcast featuring Peter Kenyon (former CEO of Man Utd & Chelsea for those who don't know) and he said he was most disappointed with Chelsea and Man City because, in his words, they are 'bigger than a Super League'.



Absolutely right. I hope Chelsea and Man City never again join forces with the broke boys and let them die

The Serie Ass stray as well get this man back please, Roman.

fukk Kenyon

We would have had Ronaldinho at United if not for him

And they've both won more Premier Leagues titles and been more successful than Liverpool in the last 10-15 years.

Funny how your owner's desired Super League collapsed the minute those two teams dropped out.

Chelsea and Man City don't need a Super League to survive like the Spanish and Italian clubs. Abramovich and Mansour have their own reasons for owning clubs but profit isn't one of them.

They are absolutely bigger than the Super League and should never have joined. I think that's the last time the brokies get their support

City and Chelsea didn't want to get left behind like other clubs did when the premier league was formed.

But this whole ESL idea was a combination of American greed and spanish desperation, trying to blow up football and fatten their pockets. People can argue about who is and isn't a big club, but this devious backdoor shyt to guarantee your places in a competition is anti competitive. Keep saying your a big club but scared to compete on the pitch.

This whole ESL thing is kind of interesting. Its like symbolism for colonialism, except I you wouldn't really expect it to happen to European countries.

Leicester and West Brom playing and no posts?



My Chairman

The Arsenal gonna be a 2/3K strong tomorrow

He's a guaranteed starter. Prince Harry, Jack, Foden . Might be the EDL frontline but would be interesting.
