I agree, but a lot of people on this thread are saying "good riddance, happy to have a more competitive league again I know that's not what's being proposed - it's what I'm proposing. It's a whole league so each team would play each of the other teams twice a year - no first league stage where...

Not so sure. The ESL clubs have been leveraging successfully for 15 years or so. They now don't just want a bigger slice of the pie, they want the pie. There have never been resignations from Uefa committees as there has been this time with Agnelli and Woodward both stepping down.

No, I'm not missing that point at all. I'm just saying that if some sort of ESL is inevitable then a compromise solution is worth examining. If you increased the top four leagues to three guaranteed places then the Spanish would be happy; the Italians would also be fairly happy; Germany and PSG...

I think some sort of ESL is inevitable. It is now as easy to get to Rome or Madrid from London as it is to get to Newcastle; and usually cheaper (or at least it was pre-Covid). The pressure from the top teams to get a bigger slice of the money that they overwhelmingly generate is similar to the...

I got 11 and I am a (relative) JCL.

Not so sure about this one. That would mean that miming shooting someone would not involve using your fingers as the barrel of the gun which is clearly the correct way to do it.

Exactly the same way as the Staying Up and Europe trackers work. Pick a reasonable number and adjust home wins and away draws to hit the number. The position those teams finish this year decides. Errmmm...This has been done for this year and Sheff Utd are down as losses +

Yes, what happened to the old THPP - he used to be quite good value?

Most clubs will be able to lend you kit to start off with. If your son is 5-8 have a look at All Stars https://www.ecb.co.uk/play/all-stars

Bit harsh. Ederson has just whacked the bottom of Bellingham's boot with his toe. That's going to hurt.

Not really sure what your point is.

Happy to add Jay Rodriguez to that list.

No, they arrested him for passing a fake bank note.

The pregnant part is a myth. But even if it wasn't, he was an armed robber (who had served his time for that) and had clearly done some terrible things but to think that it is a good thing that he die really is barbaric.

I met him in a pub in Knightsbridge in the late 80s, drunk, him not me. One of the guys I was with admired Higgin's shirt so he took it off and gave it to him.

You think George Floyd's death was a win?

That is already the case. Arms don't count for offside.

Do you really have to crowbar your views on Potter into every thread? It's getting very tedious.

I know it's not really the point of your post, but if we are still in the relegation frame (and I think we just about are) then surely Burnley and Southampton are too; particularly as our GD effectively puts us as far above Fulham and Newcastle as those two.
