As a kid I'd sit there and watch VHS tapes of our history or 'Six of the best' for hours and hours on a loop. I even managed to get hold of a C90 audio tape of an interview with Shanks just after he r

First match I ever attended at Anfield was 87/88 against Spurs as an 8 year old. My dad had managed to get hold of a pair of season tickets for the day in the Kemlyn right at the end next to the Kop s

And why is that bad? It's not just about Barcelona, Madrid and Munich.   The teams you quote actually won their leagues rather than finishing 4th. Yet they still have to jump through a load of hoops

Most people who are fucking off at 43 mins are going for a pint. And to be fair, the majority of the last 30 years they've probably needed it.

Yeah then the pints gone through them so they get up to go the gents 10 minutes into the second half, then five minutes before the end to miss the traffic! Can’t bear it when people get up and down all the time! It’s 45 minutes ffs til a break why can’t they stay put !

I blame the team on the pitch. Make it so people don't want to miss a minute. Over the last 30 years, the football has mostly got in the way of a good day out.

The thing is, this wouldn't happen if people could manage to go two hours without eating junk food. As long as I can remember you've had blerts pissing off to buy something to eat after 43 minutes of the first half. This isn't a modern football issue, it's a modern people issue.

The fucking farts off that rank food is the real killer.

 

At least the smoking has stopped, smoking and farts - come on you reds.

Seems a reasonable deal to be fair , still guarantees for all clubs & percentage difference at a maximum of 1.8 times.

 

I don't think the lower teams could realistically argue that the level of the money in the pot is only there as a result of the top 6,

 

I went to watch one of our games in Benalmadena last year and couldn't even get into our usual bar it was that busy. I was in there the next night when there was a Burnley game on & me and the Mrs were the only people in there.

Its just more dished out to the 'big boys' and less to the rest. I'd like for say Burnley or Newcastle or Leicester to able to break the monopoly but deals like this continue to make it almost impossible. Leeds,Derby,Forest,Villa,Ipswich all used to give us a run for our money when we were top dogs and that was great for the game but now its just another league within a league and I find it a bit shit that there's so little competition.

Says in the article that they need a minimum of 14 teams to agree to it before any changes are made, they rejected it the first couple of times but compromised and accepted this one.

 

So they must be getting something good out of it, can't see them signing off on fucking themselves over. Turkeys voting for Christmas.
