This post has been merged from a topic called 'Superleague' by becky It is quite interesting to hear the Premier league complain about how this proposed super league would be unsporting, selfish, greedy and contrary to the fundamental principle that supporters of all teams have a chance to dream that they could one day be successful... The Premier league! Saying all that! The f***ing cheek!

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Superleague' by becky I haven’t watched European football for years. It does not interest me in the slightest as for many years the English clubs competing have so few English players. When I was growing up I would want the English teams to do well as they were predominantly formed of home nations and Irish players.

What a joke, let them go. They can play in their Mickey Mouse league with no history and no jeopardy. So boring!

I remember watching Arsenal v Madrid a few years ago and Madrid had more English players than Arsenal.....2

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Superleague' by becky As far as I can tell this potentially buggers the Premier League up however you look at it. Either we kick the six of them out and the league is far weaker as a result which will inevitably lead to broadcasting revenues drying up. Alternatively, we let them stay and they share a £3.5bn fortune which will create even more of an absurd financial divide than we already have. In that latter scenario there is literally no point of clubs like us trying to do better as, even if Jeff Bezos buys us, we could never get into the Super League regardless.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Superleague' by becky Money grabbing of the highest order. Dock them points. If they love the idea so much to the detriment of the Premier League, then the favour should be swiftly returned.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Superleague' by becky I hope it happens. Let the rich billionaires fight it out. The rest of us can get back to competitive football, with reasonable transfers and wages. It might actually make the game more sustainable. Of course it'll be a nightmare for a bit as the new version of the prem settles down and the big buck move off to the super league. Hmm no promotion or relegation, only 1 trophy - sounds a lot like the American pro leagues. I personally will not watch or give a flying what these 'super' teams do. They can go take a flying....
