Just seen no German clubs or French clubs in the Super league

Laughable

Alternatively, we've played a blinder as we can offer Nagelsmann a chance to manage in the European Super League which he wouldn't get if he took the Bayern job

The big six has only been a thing for about a decade in England. Had generally been the big/ sky four prior to that. They weren’t big four (neither were we) but are certainly big six.

It hasn't even been a four that long, as for the late 90s/early 2000s it was just Man Utd or Arsenal, with Chelsea being added to the mix when Uncle Roman showed up so Sky had to pretend there was a fourth member of the set in order to drum up subscriptions

They talkked about this in the late 50's. Super league! Balls!!!! So do we drop out of the CL,FL,EL and FACup and cut the PL in half to accomadate it?

I don't agree. While the quadruple was on, the League Cup has an importance. I don't think they'll care about the Cup at all now.

It's bad enough people are getting their hopes up because De Bruyne is injured

Let's see if we can play the first thirty seconds without a bullshit penalty being awarded against us, eh?

We have lost our last 3 finals...
2009, 2015 and 2019...
Next Sunday will make it 4 lost finals in the last 12 years.

We'd only last 4 out of the first 19 cup finals in our previous 127 year history.

Losing finals...
1974 Uefa Cup
1982 League Cup
1987 FA Cup
2002 League Cup

*sigh

I do believe he would do a better job with this group of players than Maureen. In fact, pretty much anything with a pulse would do a better job.

Really thought they'd turned a corner last season but from December onwards they have been bloody awful...lucky for them, they play us next <laugh>

Like many other managers at PL level, Hassenhutl only has one way of playing. Nuno Santo is the same, so is Wilder, so is Fat Sam, so is Dyche. Maureen is obviously the chief culprit in this.

It works if you have the right personnel for it (as Wolves did with Jota and Jimenez). Otherwise it is a recipe for disaster and confidence is eroded so quickly as players know that if certain things happen in a game, the guy on the touchline won't have a clue how to respond.

Currently the managers I've been most impressed with this season in terms of showing a willingness (and perhaps a grain of humility) to adapt when necessary have been Rodgers, Moyes and Bruce. The latter is the most limited of that group and has the most limited group of players, but he deserves credit for drastically changing his approach in an attempt to improve results (which with the return of Saint-maximin, he has).

Bruce only plays defensively and this week was a fantastic example of exactly that.
Newcastle went 2-0 up from a OG on a counter and a goalkeeping error on a set-piece, then sat back against 10 men and allowed West Ham back into it.
The side with less players was dominating play, looking far more likely to score and having most of the ball, ending the game with 65% possession.

Bruce is an incredibly jammy and negative manager.
He's got one way of playing and it's utterly dull, incredibly negative and awful to watch.

Good call.
We won't though....this is just manoeuvring to get the CL change approved. The whole thing would cause legal mayhem if it went ahead.

I hope you're right it has certainly gathered a lot of momentum now - I will go back to getting a season ticket at Gillingham if this goes ahead I want nothing to do with it.

And yet he managed to tactically outwit our manager a couple of weeks back by...attacking us down the left flank
