Yanks have no understanding whatsoever of English football, so I can see them attempting a merger of Spurs and Chelsea at a later date, at Spurs new stadium of course, and new expensive housing built on the Stamford Bridge site. They will probably look for a rebranding somelike The Cockerel Pensioners FC.
I think our have adapted well tbh, made a few massive mistakes like the ticket hike and the super league thing but when they've made those mistakes they have been swift to correct them and apologetic about it. I still wait to see if this super league thing comes back up as that's deffo the yank prem owners idea. So no trust for fsg on that tbh We shall see.
Dont forget it was the Yanks who wanted the super league the most They are halfway through destroying F1and now have their sights on the Elite League Probably rename the Prem The English World Series with play offs for the Northern and Southern teams with a Super Bowl to decide the Champions at Spurs NFL Stadium
There wasn't much I ever agreed with Stan about, but there was one sensible thing I did remember him saying, that VAR would be used for commercial breaks and I still call him right on that for the future, you can't watch Yank TV without a commercial overload every 10 mins, they care fook all about fans.
Indeed mate, you can see how it's going that way even in the media studios with xg and all that's **** turning the heart of the game into a numbers based science, the moneyball thing fsg used in Boston and now here at Liverpool shows that the game is changing and becoming more robotic both on and off the pitch. The fact that it now seems to be bearing fruit with us is perhaps a bad thing for football in the long run. Moneyball that is. (see the movie if you aint)
Actually we dont need baseball as we already have a girls sport called Rounders Nor Basketball as we already have a girls sport called Netball As for NFL we already have Rugby League played by men without the Storm Trooper uniforms
Chelsea supporters chanting 'Roman Abramovich' have clashed with French riot police ahead of their Champions League tie with Lille tonight. Gendarmes in full riot gear moved in as a large crowd of Chelsea fans built up outside Les 3 Brasseurs bar (The 3 Brewers), opposite Lille-Flanders station. As bottles were thrown, the police fired tear gas cannisters and sent in snatch squads to try and arrest ringleaders of the trouble, many of whom were drunk.
When I first read that, I thought it said 'A bottle was thrown' - then I read where 'the police fired tear gas gas cannisters and sent in snatch squads' - I thought that's a bit heavy for throwing a bottle, where was this in Russia.
Just trying to cause trouble before I head into town centre for the day. Gonna be wild, load of Irish in Liverpool for Paddy's day and Cheltenham. Newcastle fans going to be there for the match at Goodison and I'm getting pissed. Message you tomorrow once I'm released on bail
