The shitness of modern football

[Cardie]

Burnley are a good role model for those types of teams. Huddersfield have the added advantage of good German manager too.

 

West Brom as well, they went up and down a few times in succession (I think) improving the structure of the club living within their means and building gradually.

 

It'd be different for a club like Newcastle but it's an entirely acceptable model for a club like Huddersfield.

 

The PL's short term cost control measures might even give an 'unfair' advantage to some of the bigger championship teams (especially those who have restructured from a recent relegation) going forward and result in a bigger risk of the middle to lower half premier league teams being relegated with more promoted teams surviving in the future.

Welcome to the top tier of the second rung of the Premier League. An 18 team premier league and a top half of the Championship now make up England's 'elite.'

I wish them well as I fondly remember us beating them at Anfield and it being the main match on kick off on the sunday afternoon,roughly 45 years ago or so.

Twitter ITK's. "Something big's on its way but that's all I can say. All will come out in a few days/weeks/months." Just fuck off you attention-seeking pricks.

Stick them in jail.

Be a decent prison team that.

 

I know there's no goalie, but I'd still insist Konchesky was on the bench; but still, give most teams a good game.

Imagine Bob Paisley walking into the dressing room and telling Souness,Case and McDermott they were doing a skin care advert after training.

He had to walk into the dressing room watching them fix their perms.

Premier League games could kick-off at 11:00 on a Sunday morning from 2019-20 to increase value to Asian broadcasters.

[Sputnik1]

Which is why they fucked up by not making it a condition of taking the TV money that a big proportion went towards lowering ticket prices for the fans that are constantly fucked over. 

[VladimirIlyich]

Hysterical threads with posters losing their minds over an alleged transfer target not signing for us a good three weeks before anybody still contracted to another club actually can,regardless of transfer fee.

[Redder Lurtz]

More reflective of our times in general than footie I suppose but the number of young players with double-barrelled surnames ffs.

[Funkasy]

Posters that think liverpool fans are hysterical, even tho its proven over several years that we are shit at transfers and often wait until the end of the window trying to sign someone but usually fail.

[an tha]

Why the fuck are we here in the middle of June and there are international fucking friendlies scheduled for this week...
