Reading the BBC reports the press conference from the UEFA president was quite something. Talk of throwing clubs out of this seasons European competitions and banning players from playing internationally in Euro 2020.

Theres a subtle but important difference. The past occurrences have basically just been revamps of existing competitions. Yes, they have diverted more money to the teams at the top but essentially they still have sporting integrity. You can get promoted and relegated from the PL and you qualify...

I'm not going unless we're in the European Super League

It gets better and better, 'legacy fans'. Unlikely to happen but I would just tell them to go off and do their own thing and use it as the springboard for a desperately needed reset of the domestic game. Get finances under control and make leagues competitive. Said before what is the endgame...

Would be funny to see how Clive Eakin and Andy Turner handled Jose!

Out of interest what sort of ratings do Champions League games get? Can't remember the last time I watched one and I certainly wouldn't pay for this.

In the Premier League years the 'world's greatest clubs' have of course always been concerned about financial support for the wider football pyramid :LOL: But its good that clubs would get money to upgrade some of the countries outdated stadiums such as the Emirate, Tottenham Stadium and...

A paper in Italy said a deal had been agreed with DAZN but they've denied it. Would explain the outrage from Sky if its already a done deal and they aren't getting a look in.

A world cup made up of only players at a handful of European clubs?

How will that work? What happens when you get a situation where a club like Leicester win the league or if one of these clubs end up getting relegated at some point in the future?

Didn't realise that had been confirmed, thought it was still a hopeful / not earlier than.

Even if they could shift the tickets how are they going to be allowed that many in. Seems a much larger proportion of capacity than other venues are being allowed.

It was Coventry Spartans they took over. Changed the name, club colours etc.

Brilliant performance, didn't think they had a chance of getting that total to be honest.

Gary Neville is spot on, "European Super League, are Arsenal in that?! They've just drawn with Fulham.".

I'm struggling to believe the person working on minimum wage at Tesco or McDonalds thinks if they keep voting Conservative they'll be sending their kids to private school. Just seems another way of saying voters are stupid which I'm not a fan of. But lets assume thats true, as many are saying...

Find this topic fascinating as logically you'd expect people to vote for the party whose policies would benefit them the most personally but that doesn't seem to happen. I see what you're saying but aren't you impacted by the state of public services such as the NHS or huge cuts to council...

Even if you believe there will be a new stadium surely you're just going to get the same answer? If the next stage is the University master plan for the area then nothing will happen until that is completed. My understanding is that has been delayed as the final routing of the new relief road...

The best explanation I've heard for why so many people vote Conservative when its not in their best interests was on Radio 4 and came from the head of a PR company used in Camerons 2015 election campaign. He likened it to a TV talent show. Basically you condition people to think they are just...

Laughable if they're moaning about that. They were lucky to be allowed to postpone so many games and not told to play their kids or forfeit.
