He talked a load of bollocks didnt he? He keeps banging this drum that FFP is solely to keep old money as he calls it, and the 'elite' clubs winning things while keeping the new money out. He doesnt see that the 'elite' clubs are that because they have a history of winning national leagues and European trophies.

 

Im not sure how he squares the circle of Real Madrid always being the recipient of 'gifted' money as he was want to call it yet being part of his 'elite.' He seems to think there's a bucketful of mega rich owners and or nations, being stopped from pouring their bottomless pit of money into non 'elite' clubs and turn them into 'elite' ones.

 

Where's his evidence for this? city and PSG are clearly the exception. How has PSG worked out in the french league, have they made their league more competitive and raised the standard of other clubs in France? Or have they turned Ligue Un into a procession for 8 of the last 9 years?

 

And then the fat cunt chucks his bomb in at the end of his diatribe, 75% of the CL money the 4 PL participant get should be distributed to the rest of the PL! Why stop there, Martin, why not give the 75% to League One and Two clubs?

 

The man's a fucking eejit and virtually all his contemporaries appear to disagree with his views on FFP and mega rich owners ability to flooding a club with money simply because they can.

 

On a separate note, I dont normally watch SS much these days so didnt notice the opening credits. But, can anyone tell me why solskjaer's ugly mush is the one displayed immediately after Guardiola's and before Klopp? Anyone would think it was to give a better impression of solskjaer's standing or that he finished second behind Pep last season. Will they display Carlo's face immediately after Jurgen's next season? And why have they stopped showing those aerial pictures of the current champion's ground on the walls of the set?

Nailed it regarding that twat Samuel

I saw an episode with him on a couple of months ago and was surprised at his effusive praise of Liverpool, it certainly raised my eyebrow. 

Is there anyone on today countering his argument re City?  If not I don't think I'll bother watching. 

Reddy had a good counter argument to it. Basically that FFP hasnt actually handicapped City and they knew what they were signing up yo

[Bobby Hundreds]

[aws]

Nobody forces City to sign up to the rules and participate in the CL.  

[Bjornebye]

Get the fuck in Celtic yes yes yes 

[Guest]

Bus driver Jose Mourinho needs to work on his parking. 

[Heinze]

Nice goal from Aldeweireld.

[polymerpunkah]

Lloris hesitating again.

 

 

[Davelfc]

Villa should be 2 up

 

[Davelfc]

1-1 

Same player scores both Alderweireld

[The Golden Eel]

What?!

[Davelfc]

Pelanty VAR to SpVaRs

 

1-2 Spurs

 

Pepe saves it well but rebound scored. 

 

[Lee909]

Pen Spurs

 

Proper shithouses these Spurs players since Mourinho turned up. 

[Funkasy]

Thata a pen to be fair, hits his leg before the ball.. reina saves but unlucky on the rebound. 

[Lee909]

What the fuck were the villa players doing

[The Golden Eel]

Thought that was pretty soft for a VAR pen. Also, Berwijn should have passed it ages before the tackle anyway, really poor awareness. And an absolutely shite penalty from Son, who got lucky. 

[dockers_strike]

Thought it was a good tackle at first but from the other angle, he gets nowhere near the ball. Reina unlucky with the save but no villa player could get to the ball before Son otherwise they'd have been encroaching.

They always were. 

[3 Stacks]

Bergwijn looks made for the league. Technically and physically good. How Villa manage to be so open playing 5 at the back is quite an achievement. 

[Davelfc]

Redemption game this. OG scorer gets a goal back, player that gives away a penalty gets one back. 

[dockers_strike]

Can city be presented with the Caraboa Cup at Wembley then as they're about to lift it, the EFL Chairman say, "no, this is what you could have won but you're fucking cheats, Villa come and collect your prize"? I cannot see any other way Villa are winning it to be honest.

[TheHowieLama]

Danny Drinkwater hah.

One for the stealing a living thread.

[Butch]

Spurs are wank.

I think that's just stating the obvious.
