I got to thinking actually seeing the women play, because it's the Women's World Cup Finals next year (2023) being held in Australia and New Zealand. Now there was stupid chat of the Men's World Cup being moved to every two years, I don't know if it was finally rejected outright - but surely the answer is with the lasses, because you say stage the men, then two years later you stage the women's event, that way it meets the marketing revenue that FIFA/UEFA are clearly after, but instead the money will be invested in women's football via sponsorship, instead of more of it going to men.
Good idea but does that mean it is on at the same time of the men's Euro tournaments? I don't think that will go well for them, although I suppose it works for the tennis at Wimbledon.

I'll keep out of this. Must remain modest and humble.
 
Money talks and when you want to resign your squad……

who is the kid that Chelsea are going to pinch too, no matter the price, these lads will be pushing due to massive wages.

a state of the art recovery pod for a footballer is like free fruit at work….people just want the money.

We'll see ... we made Mahrez wait 2 seasons for his move ... personally I don't thunk we'll sell Maddison, Barnes or Fofana (who all started against Seville) ... but nothing in life is certain ...

Looks like money does indeed talk ... Brenda has responded that the £40 million Maddison bid wouldn't even cover 3/4 of his left leg ... now if I do the maths right, I make that at least £100 million to get both legs <laugh>

... or just that Madders us not for sale <cheers>

Read today that Everton and Leicester both spent well over 80% of their income on wages in 2019.

To put this into perspective, a healthy figure is considered to be 61%. Spurs were reported spend 39% of their income on wages.

Everton and Leicester wages have both gone up yet they lost income due to covid closing grounds and Leicester have lost more this season due to no European football.

Suspect that's why both are have a poor window.

One of the reasons I could see Kaspar Schmeichel going ... one of the top earners ... noticeable that Daniel Iversen started against Seville today ...
 
This is has been building for years, mate. I've been telling people for years about the quality but always got laughed at.

I'm enjoying it. More football on the TV.

Honestly i don't know if it's psychological but even though it's entertaining enough to have a gander every now and again i feel like its still a very slow game and the only reason i watched a bit this summer is cause theres no other footie.

Not sure i would bother if the pl was on

None of us probably would to be fair.

However what about the young girls watching who say to their Dad's, that's the football I'd rather be watching instead of all those gay guys in denial with their handbags at three paces in the mens game <ok>
 
My problem with this **** is things like

‘the world is proud of you’

some emo **** on BBC at the full time whistle

no other country is ‘proud’

<doh>


Cant be doing with the over sell

@Peej a very young Liverpool team lost 0-3 against Strasbourg yesterday. Just thought I'd let you know so that you can post how terrible Klopp is and how generally **** we are.

Maybe that's what Klopp meant when he said he didn't like the idea of having to play the charity shield this weekend, as he thought he had to load that side with first team players. Quite a few clubs have played double headers this weekend and mixed and matched their squads to give everyone nearly a full 90mins, while putting out equal strength sides.


Or more encouragingly, maybe it shows you are lacking in squad depth.
