So this week is the announcement of the changes to the Champions League which imo are really poor and only protect tbe big clubs and make it more of a closed shop

But this is also looking to put the spanner in the works

It’s been simmering away for a long time and I have always been in the belief that this would happen - the clubs have the power in their hands to do it as well . It would have dramatic affect on the domestic leagues and also champions league

I’d be very surprised to see that happen.
 
Great to see Fulham concede that goal after the ridiculous dive and then 'tactical' timewasting from the keeper.

Really pleased to see them relegated purely based on Scott Parkers dress sense. Good luck looking like a poor mans BooHoo model in the Championship :ROFLMAO:

They are desperate for the CL - that’s the comp that highlights the big teams and it’s the one the owners want - it’s why they brought in Pep

Yep 5 years of Pep and no CL would be a huge stain. His record in the CL without Messi is bang average. No final since 2011 and only a few semi finals. Given that he's been in charge of the two best club sides of the last decade since, it's a shocking record. City don't deserve the real treble or a quadruple, they're a top side but still carry too many passengers. They've taken advantage of a weak league but personally can't see them getting over the line in the CL.

High quality squeal from Van de Beek. Further embarrassed himself by grabbing his shin when the Burnley player caught his foot :rolleyes:. To be fair, at least he held the correct leg.

Why would you grab hold of the injured part?
I once broke my wrist but grabbed my arm a few inches above the break.
I'd have been stupid to grab my wrist because it was broken!

People pretty much always go to the point of pain. I've never broken anything, a bit like Van de Beek didn't today, so can't comment there but instinct is to grab the sore part. Hold it, squeeze it, gives a numbing effect. You don't go somewhere 9" away.

European Super League .?????? Surely not.

Think a lot of it is a game of it towards Poker - I don’t think it’s a breakaway from the Prem but from the CL and because they are just about to release the new CL which is another closed shop

It’s funny watching Sky and Neville react to it - Sky etc started this all off 30 years ago and the likes of Neville and Co took millions because of breakaways etc
