Get a grip of yourself with the Stevebage obsession, tueu were below us at Christmas and are now well clear of relegation while we have fallen to the bottom of the football league, that is no accident, they and ourselves are where we are on the merit of our performances and the decisions of our respective managers.
Christ It was a sh it gag based on how they stayed up last season despite finishing bottom (as already stated).

I've realised I've not watched one single Champions League game this season.
This new super league thing wont change that - you can't have foie gras, truffles and champagne everyday for lunch. In a format they propose not all games are important. A mid-table game is a mid-table game irrespective of it being PSG v Barca or Burnley v Everton.
Thank goodness I support a shithole team where these things dont matter. I wonder what fans of Man Utd, Chelsea etc think of this? And Spurs - who have won feck all ever... how can they even be part of this.
Personally Id love to see any team who signs up for this out of the Prem..... of course, that prob wonthappen.
And remember the geniuses who propose this league are all in charge of clubs in massive debt (Juve, Barca, Madrid etc)

Got to agree with gaffer58, I've just said the same thing to the missus what about Leicester they have been bigger than both Arsenal and Spurs for the last few seasons. On another note why is everyone having a go at JUST Man Utd, there are six of the greedy $£%""£$% not just Man Utd, they have all got their snouts in the same trough

I'm watching Neville and co whining about it on TV, and I'm laughing my mammaries off at them. Going on about greed, and how this going to affect the league 1 and 2 clubs. Like anyone has given a excrement about this end of the league. The whole point of the Premier league was to ring fence the TV money for the top clubs, this is just the natural progression of that greed.
This. The hypocricy is rank. Talking about the history and identity of the football league being at stake. What about the history and identity of Salford City that him and his other class of 92 (fine year that was for the English game) cronies ran rough shod over, whilst letting his famiy's club, Bury, go to the wall?

Latest statement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56795811I've been falling out with football for a while now and this is just another step in the greed obsessed world of them and us. I can't think that the players have been consulted if it means they won't be allowed to play in other competitions or for their countries. No player is going to agree to that surely. I also wonder if managers like Guardiola who moan constantly about too many fixtures, have been consulted about playing mid week games in a European Super League.

Joel Glazer is Vice Director of the new Super League so I guess suggests he is one of the architects of it and not just merely along for the ride. So I guess that does entitle a bit more of the scorn to be focussed on Man United.

How ironic that the Premier League has opposed it.
The Premier League setup is more democratic than the Football League was pre-1992. It’s one member one vote with a 14-6 majority required for changes. Before the formation of the PL the Football League only had 44 “full” members who had voting rights (D1 & D2 clubs). The other 48 were just “associate” members (D3 & D4 clubs). The PL was setup for the same reasons the PDC was setup in darts.

This is irreversible surely? The damage has been done. They've already got a website, left some European group, named the other 3 clubs. It is time for the PL, EFL, UEFA and FIFA to stop being soft as intercourse and make a statement that actually means something. I would even cancel the league cup final between 2 of the 6 next Sunday. balderdash to them.
