Got to hand it to the cods, nice bit of Pr having a shirt amnesty, offering a Gtfc replica for any of the said 6 shirts from previous 3seasons, as much as I hate the cods if I had a shirt I would take up their offer, classic put down of the prima donnas good on ya.

I think with the Brexit thing you might be mixing him up with me Alcazar.
To be strictly accurate I didn’t say everyone that voted Brexit was racist.
I said that everyone who is racist voted Brexit. An important distinction.

You should know by now MK alcy doesn’t do distinction, just propaganda.

You may have seen this article already Ferrite? Differing views, some I can empathise with others absolutely not…

The game was formed by the people for the people to enjoy
Actually it was formed by toffs in public schools.
A lot of water flowed under the Stamford Bridge before it filtered down to the working man.
Football fans worldwide are responsible for creating this monster. Is anyone really shocked by this news?
Hypocrisy by the bucket-load doing the rounds today. And already the vultures are circling over the carcasses.
I shall observe from a nearby perch.

No, I hadn’t seen that. The last two people really make you shake your head, don’t they?
I suppose my real point is this: I just don’t understand *this* being the breaking point for PL fans. And, on top of that, if the Superleague doesn’t happen then we cannot go back to the old status quo, which wasn’t working for 99% of the football pyramid. I get the impression that the majority of Big 6 fans would be happy to rewind the clock to last Sunday morning (of course I could be wrong) but this needs to be a line in the sand moment and the time to reform the game.
I mean, when third-tier clubs are losing £3m+ per season chasing promotion, you know the game is not in a healthy state!
was merely having a discussion with Ferrite about his opening post, you know the topic in question? I’m not, and wasn’t, irate about it. Difference of opinion. It happens.
It’s not the modern way to discuss a difference of opinion reasonably, should we start name-calling?

The premier League was born out of Heysel and Hillsborough and the introduction of all seater stadiums, prices were always cheaper to stand just the same as they are today at lower League grounds, that’s where football was ruined forced into sanitised grounds, alcohol banned in grounds and for away fans traveling to the ground, giving owners the opportunity to bring in corporate hospitality, also it gave the opportunity for more women to attend we all know they sit and not stand, so if anyone’s to blame it can all be brought back to Liverpool fans sadly.

NI – Have you read Harry Pearson’s books The Far Corner & the follow-up The Father Corner? Both very funny & beautifully observed tours through non-league football in the north-east.
Newcastle fans complaining about the superleague are, in many cases, the same ones complaining that the PL wouldn’t let the Saudi regime take them over so they could spend a shed load of money on players & completely distort football.

Got The Far Corner on my bookshelf! It features Darlington 2, Scunthorpe 1 (Carmichael). January 94.
The Newcastle fans are rubbing their hands in glee, because they think that with those six gone they’ll be in the running for a league title or an FA Cup win!
And they won’t be the only ones.

I’m sure some Newcastle fans will be NI, not all. There’s still a risk here of viewing fans of these clubs as one homogenous mass (what Thatcher and the corporates did), which we know they’re not, and as you’ve already pointed out above. I Agree with many of yours and Ferrite’s sentiments though.

NI – I definitely recommend picking up the sequel, The Further Corner. Not quite as witty, a bit more contemplative but it still gave me huge nostalgia when I read it over Christmas.

Might have a look at those myself Ferrite. Cheers.

Funnily enough I didn’t want them to win either TW, but I did say the nation,not meaning that likes of me or you and you’ve got to admit Forrest and Everton just rolled over.

Sometimes I wonder what you’re on about Awaywego!
Anyway back to the ESL debacle. Another funny thing was reading the statements issued by the “Big Six”.
Grovellingly apologetic to their loyal fans. I wonder if we could expect a similar statement from the board of SUFC after the distress caused by this season’s performances?
I won’t hold my breath!

As much as I agree with you Ferrite, I can’t see it happening. Can’t see this review changing much just I don’t think Johnson’s legal threat made any difference to the u turn. The big clubs still hold the power and behind the scenes they may well view it as ‘you’re lucky to have us’. I think all this apology is tokemism. Hope I’m wrong.
