Not dismissive at all. Lower league football is fine. If you want PL quality football then that needs [HASHTAG]#worldclass[/HASHTAG] players which needs billion pound TV deals which needs worldwide fanbases.

People who support major PL clubs but think only stadium fans or season ticket holders are "real" fans are dismissive and deluded hypocrites. You only get to watch these players because of worldwide fans.

If all you want is quality football with world class players why the **** do you support Liverpool?
Surely Madrid, Barca, Bayern or even PSG would be a better option and they win things on a regular basis.
 
What are you doing as a supposed ‘fan’ of Liverpool and the PL in general to contribute to the billion pound industry then?

The answer is nothing, and here’s you having the temerity to pontificate about worldwide fanbases and fiscal benefits of TV that perpetuate the ‘product’, whilst calling real supporters hypocrites.

Everton most expensive season ticket: £565
Total number of season tickets: 31,000
Maximum season ticket revenue: £17,515,000

2018/19 TV revenue: £128,603,905

Season ticket holders are financially irrelevant

La Liga is full of diving, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are [HASHTAG]#fakeleagues[/HASHTAG]

Virtually every PL team could make every seat in the ground season ticket only and still sell out, the only reason they don't is to give others a chance of actually seeing a game live so yes, you are right (almost), attendance profits are almost irrelevant, they probably pay the wages of 3 or 4 top players per home game.
That said, it is also the reason BT/Sky make millions off football even after the fees they pay to air it. People want to watch football and will always pay for the experience and excitement. Play in an empty stadium and all of that dies, it's like watching an U18s training match where even the players don't look to have any passion or interest.

Most points is the greatest. Arsenal just played for a draw a third of the time. Pathetic, boring, and only gets you a trophy in a [HASHTAG]#poorleague[/HASHTAG]

Yeah but, Liverpool were starting to come apart at the seams a bit, when all this started, so they probably would have struggled to beat the record.

The virus has done them a favour tbh.

Last 5 games in all competitions can only be described as ****. Probably for the best that the season ended <ok>
 
You missed the point again. I showed Florida because I see it as a key state (no pun intended), an influential state. I do not see Florida as a poor state, that's not to say poverty don't exist in Florida, because it does if you fall in the belt between Miami and the Everglades, known as Homestead, I didn't just research or look this up, I know my geography of the area :)


Lynyrd Skynyrd are from Florida. That’s all I know about the place.

Well, them and Crockett and Tubbs.

At the risk of sounding like a bit of a ****, I don’t need the money is the honest answer mate. I’m 50 and financially secure, plus the better half is a fair bit younger and nowhere near ready to pack in yet, as she’s still got her own ambitions to fulfil, for her own self worth.

If I jib it all off, I think I’d like to do some work with start ups and small businesses, mentoring, problem solving, and that kind of shizzle. Paid or charitable.

Sounds like an offer to be your life coach mate.
I smell a sitcom!!!
I’d defo watch that ****
 
You see . I have worked for BT for nearly 37 years , only ever did more than about a 36 hour week when I wanted to do overtime .

Looking back , they have been a bloody good employer .

21 years with Royal Mail, and I doubt I ever did more than a handful of 8 hour days. I did work hard, but mostly so I could go home early.

It’s not like that anymore. Postmen are still walking the streets at 3.00pm, and I don’t think the managers ever switch off. That’s not progress btw; that’s the relentless drive for profit at any cost, sucking all the joy out of everything.
