Fulham Broadway

Fair play to Newcastle fans -they raised £19 000 for charity instead of paying for their Pay per View Game meanwhile Sky and BT Sport refuse to say how many people paid £15 to watch Chels v saints and Newcastle v Man Utd. Safe to say it was very few then

The real funny thing is the collapse didnt happen till Bale came on

Especially with the return of the Welsh man bun bonobo

Joses face like a big fat slapped arse

Lol Lanzini -like a FIFA 21 goal

Disgusting theyre charging £15. Vespers internet stream it is then

Yeah, and as if those yank owners of liverpool or United with their grand master plan actually gave a flying fuck about Fleetwood or Stevenage. Do they fuck ! -they wouldnt bat an eyelid if lower league clubs went under.

I dont think clubs would do that tbh -nationalism is bound up in so many clubs Royal Madrid for example funded by the Spanish govt. and none of them would be first to put their heads above the parapet and risk losing TV money. Especially when with the pandemic, it is their main source of income

Thing is they are all part of other federations (Uefa) etc and these federations work 'together' as different arms of a business -to make money. Because the Romans sussed out the secret to keeping populations compliant in their empire was to give them 'Bread and Circuses' - governments encourage the same now -football is one of the biggest pacifiers

Broadcasters have paid the International Football federations billions to screen internationals. Its all about the money

Its all about filling FIFAs coffers with money

Just showing passion at a totally inept referee

Good cross by James for Kane. Maguire is a liability - send him back to Greece

Yes I see your point - though the Community Shield to me is a great curtain raiser to the season, and all the money goes to charity. The League Cup is so important to all 92 clubs, as Lampard said, and is a massive source of revenue to lower league clubs. Basically the current proposal is an unashamed power grab by those clubs with the most money, taking advantage of the Covid situation in that so many clubs are struggling, and laughs in the face of democracy. One solution I would advocate would be a 10% transfer tax, with money going to EFL clubs that need it the most.

Thats true they are in dire need of collapsing. There is plenty of cash to prop up Championship, League 1 and 2 clubs, but the big 6 have scented an opportunity for a power grab. Heres the 'proposals' The Premier League cut from 20 to 18 clubs, with the Championship, League One and League Two each retaining 24 teams. The bottom two teams in the Premier League relegated automatically with the 16th-placed team joining the Championship play-offs. The League Cup and Community Shield abolished. Parachute payments scrapped. A £250m rescue fund made immediately available to the EFL and 25% of all future TV deals. £100m paid to the FA to make up for lost revenue. Nine clubs given 'special voting rights' on certain issues, based on their extended runs in the Premier League.

Admire your optimism, and all fan groups of the Big Six have firmly rejected the idea -but EFL clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two said there was almost unanimous support for the proposals during individual league meetings on Tuesday. (Today).

The way I see it, it's all about the big clubs making more money. The owners, in particular the Glazers only care about money and not football. Don't scrap cups, the big clubs might not care but the other clubs do, especially if lower league clubs get drawn against a big team, its good for their fans and finances.

Next thing they'll control the media rights, then they'll fuck with the rules, dividing the game into 'quarters' -fucking touch downs or some such bullshit TV adverts every 10 minutes (If anyones ever watched US sports on TV . its determined by advertising).

Yanks have sniffed out a mega earner, and want to control the game, then throw crumbs at the rest. I hope this is thrown out like for the criminal enterprise it actually is. Cant believe some dumb fucks want to go along with this Liverpool/Man Utd bollox.

So this greedy cartel they want to set up -Was this meeting with the two USA club owners about OUR football league taken place in the U.K. or was it in New York or Miami? Just asking.

Special voting powers for clubs with more money? Seriously?? Lol Its like Football is run by Trump

Exactly. At least we have our Swedish friend Vesper to rely on for links

After not being allowed to attend, and shelling out over £1100 for Sky, BT and Amazon this one and several others are now pay per view at £14.95 a match. They can get fucked. Internet stream for this one

Its all about FIFA coffers

Our boys performed well. James on his debut especially.
