Just thought - when fans sing "Who Are Ya?" at rival fans why isn't The Who version used?

That's the point I fixated on. It lets the big six decide the rule changes so anything they decide to give now they could, under these proposals, just remove quite legally in a few months time. So that 25% could well be nothing in a years time.

I wonder what would happen if the PL and EFL made an agreement to amalgamate minus this 'big 6' so they only had each other to play every week? How long would Man U v Chelsea six times a year really hold peoples attention?

If that's the case the others could gang up and say they want the top six to leave to play in a Euro superleague. Those that think football in this country couldn't survive without those big clubs is nonsense. Who the big clubs are change over time. How many of the initial clubs that won a lot...

Irony is Trump wants Biden drug tested before debates

You can lead a horse to water but that doesn't mean it'll take a drink.

We used to have another that had nothing to do with football. I think it went something along the lines of "Chris Coleman's Sky Blue Army"

A point or more will be a decent result, but we're going to have to play well to achieve it. Hope Kelly is back. Would also bring in McCallum for his superior defensive qualities and probably Allen for the work rate. Marosi Hyam Fadz Rose Dabo Sheaf Kelly McCallum O'Hare Allen...

It's amazing these loud, well funded minorities always call themselves the 'silent majority' isn't it?

Close - it's scouse not grouse.

If that happens this season now I'd be amazed. There will be no sense of normality until into next year and probably when the days are getting longer and it's getting warmer. Even then I wouldn't guarantee it. Unless of course the govt just says fuck it and sends everything back to normal...

As long as it's six a side or less and neither team enters the others half. The beers are fine, as long as you drink them alone and don't touch the glass with your hands. Unless you live in a post code with an odd number but in an even numbered house in which case you can only have one beer, to...

No they didn't. Johnson specifically stated that we'd "stay open" and be the economic powerhouse while others locked themselves away despite scientists saying this was a terrible idea. By the time they actually listened to a bit of the science is was already to late to stop the rise and we had...

A lower place indeed, but that kind of thing also seems a bit sinister. I'm sure most of them it's a midlife crisis determined to prove their youth and vitality but some of them I can't help think "why do they want to have the attention of the teenagers so much?"

I think you may have hit on something there. One game between the big six a week. They'll engineer the fixture to ensure they're not playing each other in the same week so they can monopolise the TV market, make their own TV deals, demand falls out of the other clubs TV revenues and the...

IMO it's like being told by a doctor there's a risk you might die imminently, or you can take this drug that will make sure you don't, but that drug will definitely kill you in a few years.

That's terrifying because it basically tells the govt they can do what the fuck they like and they won't get blamed for it.

As you say this system would be fine IF it were clear how they're making the decisions. No-one seems to be able to make it out as the cases/100k doesn't match up. Some with higher figures are in lower tiers than other with lower. It's basically a rehash of the 5 step system we had before that's...

Should standardise contracts. 50% increase if promoted, 50% decrease if relegated. Of course some of the more ridiculous PL contracts of 100k+ a week would still be unaffordable, but if you've done that then you're going to have to sell them, even a bit on the cheap. Teach you to not offer...

I've been wondering if a squad cap were put in of, say, 40 pro players could we then have a draft system like the US where any player coming out of an academy or U23 that hasn't been included in a squad is basically available to be drafted at the end of the transfer window, with the team that...
