Don’t really see how anyone can think it’s good idea other than those running the clubs. Even the players appear to lose out in that They’ll be banned from playing for their countries. id quite like to see it happen, no interested in the top 6 and it would make our league more interesting. Be great to see fans boycotting it, no one watching it on the Telly, if some players and mangers boycotted it too then even better.

Statement from UEFA https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/mediareleases/news/0268-12121411400e-7897186e699a-1000--statement-by-uefa-the-english-football-association-the-premier-/

yep, there may be a bit of short term pain financially but the league will be a lot more competitive and better without them. Let them go, ban them from all domestic competition and players from playing for their countries.

A league of 12 clubs from 3 countries 6 from one country where 4 of them are not even in the champions league places this season is not European and not super.

He also got lucky in that his shot was going wide hit Vestergaard and went straight back to him. Doesn’t take away the fact that we deserved to lose, it was a pathetic performance, how the fuck can you play in a semi and not even muster a single shot on target.

What a pathetic performance. That was worse than Chelsea 3 years ago

Ralphs interviews aren’t boring.

Terrible game, but we’re still in it. Stop giving the ball away FFS

Needless booking already ffs

Good to see a few saints fans have sneaked in

Gary Neville furious and summing the view up of most fans

Don’t be so sure about that. With the money that’s being talked about th clubs will do what they want. FIFA might end up with no option to back it.

We’ve also never lost a cup semi final on BT sport.

Saints

They need the premier leagues permission to enter, which reading the statement from them they don’t have so to enter they’d have to break away

Agreed. Hopefully it’ll happen and they’ll all be Banned from competing in any domestic competitions. After the novelty of the first couple of seasons when fans of clubs like arsenal and Chelsea see their teams struggling at the bottom of the league every season losing most weeks it won’t be much fun. Hopefully all European fans will boycott anything to do with it too and leave the Chinese and American audiences to lap the farce up.

Linked with Jacob Murphy at Newcastle don’t know much about him but a winger, seems decent. Anyone watch a lot of Newcastle?

Ignore the cock. Everyone knows when he meant by uncharted territory. 4 FA Cup semi finals 35 years. Hardly regulars are we.

Our midfield would get absolutely murdered if he picked that first team you have

I keep thinking we are due a bit of luck in a big cup game. 84, lucky bounce in the last minute of injury time, 86 Mark Wrights injury, 2018 although a crap performance Austin’s goal disallowed for a nothing Challenge, might have changed the game. Then of course there Is the 2017 final with the goal that never was and losing late. Of course Leicester are huge favorites, a better team, but so were Liverpool in 2017. We never get the roll of the dice when it gets to this stage of a tournament, maybe we’re due it.

Well did not expect that. Great performance from Chelsea.

Surely he won’t get the final...

They’re building up the scare mongering though https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-indian-double-mutation-variant-arrives-in-britain-and-has-hallmarks-of-very-dangerous-virus-12276922

Forster won’t save any so it’ll be hoping they miss the target with probably 3 out of 5
