cool story bro
Cant relate i am afraid
I watxh footy non stop including prem. Whilst i dislike the power vacuum and diving and non ohysicality of it all its still arguably thr best football league in the world and very entertaibing.
Read somewhere over the weekend Notts County we’re going to offer someone £15k a week!! Can’t remember who tho, plus I had a fair few over the weekend,so it may have been in my drunken dreams.its brilliant, I love it. Must watch about 6 games a week.
Money is mad though. Luke Berry is the highest paid player in League Two on £3.5k a week.
Most squad prem players get considerably more than that a day !
unless Notts County get their way and sign Capel - 10k per week + 5k per gameits brilliant, I love it. Must watch about 6 games a week.

Why wouldn't you watch Man City at the moment... its a pleasure. For a start you appreciate the huge gulf in talent from the premiership to our level, might make some of our fans realise that we are no longer a premiership / championship team.
Easily one of the worst matches I've ever seen. I swear those little spells every now and again of two Man City players just pinging 18 passes between them in a few seconds was just to keep busy.Their game against Chelsea yesterday was awful, the Chelsea tactics were a joke, Hazard upfront on his own and they kept lumping the ball up to him (touch of the Liam Kelly fever)
I watched Chelsea Barca last week as I had absolutely nothing else to do and couldn't find the remote to turn it over. It was pretty boring.
There are 2 teams on the pitch, Man City absolutely dictated the game, with their passing and pressing, you dont seriously think the Chelsea Tactics were to lump it up to Hazard, it was the very fact that Man City held on to the ball, and when it was lost hunted it down again, putting Chelsea under tremendous pressure.Their game against Chelsea yesterday was awful, the Chelsea tactics were a joke, Hazard upfront on his own and they kept lumping the ball up to him (touch of the Liam Kelly fever)
They've all lost touch.unless Notts County get their way and sign Capel - 10k per week + 5k per game
What's happening at Arsenal?Can’t say as I follow it but son keeps telling me little nuggets that go in one ear and out other. Have watched a few pl and euro matches on tv when had opportunity so know a little of the ‘better’ clubs/players. Loving to see what’s happening at arsenal...not because it’s arsenal but because the club and fans believe they have an entitlement. I just wish it would happen to some of the others too.

I am not at all keen and many talented English kids are getting sidetracked by all the foreign imports.It's just not real to me any more, or at least it's a different game to the one I fell in love with. The money, the lack of contact, the diving, the over exaggeration of injuries - I might as well be watching WWE in that I know those reactions to situations do not represent reality, it's not really how things are. To the point where watching a Premier League game is almost like a surreal dream - I recognise everything that is going on, it feels familiar, i want to enjoy it, i know the players but there are these few subtle details that I want to ignore but that are nagging away at me, reminding me that this really isn't what I'm trying to pretend it is.
And when I wake up, my pillow is gone.
Radio 5's sports reporter this morning at least pointed out that being at grimsby, and fighting to stay in the league... now *that* was a crisis.They've all lost touch.
There was a pundit dissection of Arsenal's woes on 5Live yesterday and they were saying that Arsenal had only spent 35m on one defender and it wasn't enough, they should have spent more.
Crazy.
I don't think they are. The talented ones will always come through but may have to set their sites a little lower to get back up. The problems as I see them is the stockpiling of young talent at the big clubs. I'm not sure how factual it is, but I read that Chelsea had in excess of 70 players out on loan (not all English but a large number of them). I also think many young players are paid too much before they've earned it. I have no problem with Hollywood salaries for those at the top producing entertainment, but when you have lower prem teams reserve players with a handful of first team games earning £40k per week it surely cant be sustainable even with all the Asian TV money flooding in.I am not at all keen and many talented English kids are getting sidetracked by all the foreign imports.
Yeah, they can always go back to our level if it goes tits up, but be considerably richer for the experience!Ben Stevenson - subs bench for Colchester at home to Barnet the other day. It will be interesting (as an example that we can relate to) to see how his career goes over the next 2 to 3 seasons. George Thomas too - I reckon he'll get loaned out to a Championship club next season - but if Adam Armstrong was a bit hit and miss, how's George going to do? That said, when you hear about Luke Beery at 3.5k being the highest paid player in L2, you can't blame some of these players for taking the leap into the unknown (please sign a contract Mr Bayliss !)
L2 is pants, but play-offs of L1 regularly with an occasional flirtation into the Championship and an extended cup run would be a nice place to be.
I agree, but not sure I want it. Higher ticket prices, a team full of overpaid sulking prima donnas and a constantly changing fixture list to suit TV and opponents with European fixtures. My aspirations have somewhat changed to be more of a Wigan, Barnsley, Bristol City type club.Whilst we don't have a right to be anywhere, with the correct set up, there is nothing to suggest we shouldn't have aspirations akin to Southampton, Brighton, Swansea etc,
Yes, it's a reality check when you think that Manchester City were relegated from the Premier League with us in 2001. Our paths have diverged a little since then.Why wouldn't you watch Man City at the moment... its a pleasure.

I was going to start a thread this morning along the lines of "What's Happening to the Prem? I haven't seen a premiership game for ages but tuned in to the Man City Chelsea borefest at the weekend. Neither team looked interested Man City didn't care if the ball went forwards, backwards or sideways as long as they kept possession and with Chelsea players not wanting to get involved backwards worked more often than not.Their game against Chelsea yesterday was awful, the Chelsea tactics were a joke, Hazard upfront on his own and they kept lumping the ball up to him (touch of the Liam Kelly fever)

Hazard was subbed in the 88th min and strolled off like his team was 3-0 ahead. At one point the commentator said that "Man City are the future of Football" If that's the case I'm happy to float around the lower divisions and enjoy the games.
