City win the league cup for the 4th year in a row..............yawn.

laughable that Spurs were in the ESL ...looking at this performance so far. Such a huge gulf in class.

I doubt we will move on that many first teamers in one go, plus who would have them...

I done it once in a Sunday league game, was aiming top right but scuffed it though but we can keep that quiet...

Shame really they didn't get booted....😄 it could have happened this way..

Funnily enough a lot of the fans thought the clubs should be hit with some sort of penalty for this. So many were pissed off.

...

not many on this forum bought this shirt then....

so...........now what ? Back to normal and pretend it didn't happen until it comes up again next year? Surely there should be some form of punishment for bringing the game into disrepute or something.

Yeah he was always going to get the murder charge, I thought looking at it he would get done for just Manslaughter like other Police officers in the states who have killed people unintentionally. Thought I read a politician over there encouraging a riot if he wasn't given a murder charge. I'm sure he will appeal.

Also I think it is pathetic that the top 6 clubs/chairmans are leaving their managers to speak about this situation, rather than themselves taking the Q&As.

Well I imagine the preseason friendlies around the world between the big clubs was just a tester to see what the demand was. Full houses in most stadiums was the answer. Not sure it will be interesting enough for non football fans to turn up regularly though.

Basically Perez has said : We need to give me more money because I've put my club in massive unsustainable debt. 🤣

Could work, regionalise the leagues under the championship to save dosh on travel etc for both clubs and fans.

I read companies who will lose money over this will chase the 6 clubs directly for compensation.

Superstars contracted by the ESL and then an auction before each summer to see who plays where...🤣

didn't he also say that games are too long for the younger generation and something else they are looking it. Its a joke surely...

apparently all over the Germany role. Will Saints be wearing the 'no to the ESL' shirts in the warmup you reckon? Or are we one of the secret other clubs looking to secure a berth 🤣🤣

well the bubble had to burst at some point. The fact is you have Real, Barca and Spurs nearing one billion in debt so this is the last throw of the dice for them. Can Spurs survive a season or two outside the current CL riches? The stadium and Covid really has done them in. Full reset, will be painful but the less money in the English game could be better long term, get some accountability and affordability back with rules in place to avoid the same again in the future. Its pretty rude the talk coming from this ESL mob, with them using examples of two smaller clubs who have made the CL and saying no one cares about it.....how about the bloody fans and players at those clubs.

Been watching some pundits talking about this and all people wanting to watch the best players week in and week out. Not me but not sure if a minority on this. Can't remember last time I watched a Madrid or Milan derby, or a CL game for that matter. I remember a while back being in a pub with Barca on and the commentators just basically jizzed over every little thing Messi did all game and was rather annoying.

We need to be buying these players initally from clubs like Molde not Serie A, thats our market right now unfortunately.

Well we might get top 10. If they kick out the 'big' 6.

looks like it won't just be a large database updated for FM22. They may have to redesign the game a little if this ESL kicks off 😄
