Yeah. And that applies to almost any change which the PL could implement to help newly promoted clubs: the other 17 simply won't vote for that change. I've said before how it's disgraceful that a lower loss cap applies to newly promoted clubs. Totally unfair. It's already inevitably the case that the other 17 will have greater incomes over the previous three seasons than any promoted trio, and hence they already have an advantage there (ie the greater their income, the more they can spend before making a loss). So why on earth should they be advantaged even further by being allowed a greater loss? But because it benefits the other 17, you can forget them ever voting to make it fairer.
Yes, it is The Courteeners, not nineteen forever, sung by the kop in reference to them about to win their 20th league title. A great track to sing along to.
Vardy apparently wants to stay in the PL It looks like his pace has gone, if it has he is probably lower end championship at best.
Could see a promoted team taking a punt tbh. Not a bad backup option to have to chuck on for 15 minutes at the end of a game when needing a goal.
An Everton fan bought thousands of blue smoke bombs, changed the labels to red and sold them to Liverpool fans. Top ****housery
I think the one thing i learned about Saint's fall from the Prem to League One is that there are leagues within leagues in each division. There is a massive difference between the ability of teams at either of each division. Some of rhe League One teams we faced were woeful. I started following football around 74 /75 and don't recall this being an issue until the end of the 1980s. It feels like the gaps have become wider , the better teams improving and lower teams getting worse. Football seemed to be more competitive in 1979s and early 1980s. For the neutral , this season must rank as one of the worst ever. I had forgotten about Bristol City getting relegated from League One to League Four in early 1980s.
We've been here before, watch their team get "cherry" picked now... https://www.footballinsider247.com/andoni-iraola-to-tottenham-takes-dramatic-new-twist-he-will-sign/
BBC sport headline: ‘Ipswich come from behind to spoil Goodison Park party’. Don’t worry lads, CharityFC will fix it for you. We’ll roll over for you for your big day no worries. Couldn’t have designed a more perfect and willing opponent. We don’t have any fight or pride unlike Ipswich.
If you chaps can take one positive from this season, it is the absolutely fantastic match day threads! Top quality all season long.
Wall to wall coverage of TAA leaving Liverpool on SSN today; it's like the Queen has died all over again. The scouse playing the victims as if they've never been on the "good" side of a player transfer. Pricks.
Haha, whenever they start banging on about this up here and about how there's no loyalty blah, blah blah. I sympathise by saying a former captain had private meetings with another PL club before handing in a transfer request. When they ask 'who was it?' I take great glee in saying VVD... That ends the conversation pretty quickly
