Champions League and Europa League final. 4 prem teams.
It all starts with money, and that becomes transfers , then goals...and then more money. Is there a trend towards greater dominance of Prem teams across Europe or will Jean-claude Drunkard try to throw a spanner in the works ? Edited by PalazioVecchio (10 May 2019 12.55am)

Great news for the English game and really shows how elite the premier league has become. I doubt Fergie would want to manage anymore as the competition is just to fierce. Seen Liverpool have already taken the opportunity to make themselves the victim by complaining about £750 easyJet flights. People who can afford to fly all around Europe and pay hundreds of pounds for tickets, accommodation and booze are hardly the impoverished working class.

Edited by PalazioVecchio (10 May 2019 12.55am) I think it really shows the strength and level of competition in the prem. Pep has alluded to it many times. Well done to the club's who have made it, they've given their supporters some incredible memories and the neutrals some fantastic entertainment. Out of interested I had a quick check of the lineups to see English participation in the 2nd legs of the latest European ties. 11 English players played some part in the games. Hopefully it'll be even more in the finals as experience at that level can only be beneficial for the national team. Edited by samprior (10 May 2019 10.10am)

I'm sure there'll be lots of people desperate to go (some of whom will go) who can't really afford to.

Edited by PalazioVecchio (10 May 2019 12.55am) The Europeans are not happy as their domestic leagues do not generate the revenues of the PL. That is why the top 30 clubs want to revamp the Champions League as they see this as the only cash cow that can compete with the PL. Our greedy top clubs are part of this group and happy to go along with the revamp. The basic idea is that the big boys more or less qualify automatically each year regardless of where they finish in the league. Meanwhile everyone else is just a beggar at the feast, promotion and relegation for the many not the few. That is why Ajax were so desperate to win the CL and why the rest of Dutch football gave them time off. They realise that if this new format goes ahead Dutch teams will not be included and will have to fight with the also rans across Europe each year unless they can be successful now.

Guys I don't care if premier league teams win it (unless we do) as the league currently sucks. I want a return to the First division over this 'premier league' get the TV money out of football. They only care about Top 6. When they start caring about my Palace then I will care about our 'teams' winning European titles.
Big up the Palace!!!! |

The ticket touts will be licking their lips - particularly in Madrid as fans pay over the odds for tickets to see the final. Good news for English football but maybe not England given we are supposed to be playing in the Nations cup thing on June 6th! Edited by Superhorns3 (10 May 2019 7.51pm)

Unfortunately, nothing is free these days.

You could argue there has never before been such an amount of free stuff: Of course money is still an issue for a lot of people. But there’s a helluva lot of free stuff out there.
