It’s an old boxing term. Wily old veteran schooling a more talented youngster with guile, craft, and the odd punch to the bollocks
The Jeremy Corbyn Story
Got to be honest I would be happy for the big teams fucking off thought this since United went to Brazil for the Club World Cup. Chuck them on an Ireland in the middle of the Atlantic let them battle it out in an enclosed 18 team league for eternity.
Yeah, fuck em off.
quite funny that the overarching feeling from everyone else is essentially: piss off then, see ya.
To put the pressure on for project big idea or whatever it is
stupid and shit. surely most fans of Liverpool and United would feel aggrieved too?
like, when people say ‘hah, good riddance’ or w/e, think about the nice normal fans maybe, idk
United fans would have less far to travel.
I think you’re forgetting that it’s some suits floating the decision, and it’s one that the fans of the clubs will oppose wholeheartedly. If the fans couldn’t wait to duke it out in a European super league, I’d support you in saying piss off, but it’d just be a tragic blow for English football and the fans.
As long as FIFA don’t implement one of their shitty ‘No other TV games while our money-makers are playing’ rules then I’ll be delighted to see this finally happen. All the least interesting teams in football siphoned off to a single league I can ignore.
I am intrigued to see which way the Old Firm whinging will go, though… Will they decide they have a God-given right to join this league or to replace the Premiership teams??
It says “top clubs” tho
I have no idea what this is about
I’ve always believed Celtic might, very slightly be the only one of the 2 to get in a European Super League and them joining the English Pyramid will never happen (mainly due to them never having enough votes to be voted in).
The short term lolz of this happening to Rangers would almost be worth it.
Yup.
So daft the way that “Big club fans represent and endorse the actions of said club” is such a default reaction
While that would be very funny, never will though innit, they need each other, you’re getting both or neither cuz there’d be too much money at stake
No one gonna mention this?
Also while a European super-league/American franchise-type structure has been on the cards for ages in an even more dramatic way than losing the Old Firm in Scotland losing the top 6 in England would effectively kill the league
Is it just me or does that same story get published about once every 6 months and then come to nothing. Its just for the ad clicks right?
I personally would be very sad inside if both the Prem and Champos League got decimated by this horrible plan
Normally yes but, also normally it’s mentioned with that bloke who runs that International Champion Cup in the summer 1st time I’ve seen FIFA mentioned.
