What happened to the much trumpeted 'financial fair play'?

Although it's at the other end of the scale, there was a decent article in the Guardian yesterday on the meeja faves, Spurs, that opined similar feelings. If the game isn't solely to be the propaganda wing of oil billionaires and despot states, you've gotta hope that Spurs get the trophies their current squad deserves on the back of Levy's reluctance to spend stupid money (they won't, of course, because Spurs are Spurs).

That said, all of the Prem have done very well from the TV deals, but you do sense that merely being in the Prem is the aspirations of most given the disparity between the top 6 and the rest.

I see Mick O' got 3 assists last night.

I cant help thinkin Jose has mismanaged there.

Hardly. He was totally irrelevant when it mattered and went missing time and time again (or repeatedly gave the fucking ball away).

There's no comparison between Sanchez, who scored yesterday, and Mikhy, Dill. You know that.

He wouldnt make a bad squad player but saying that Pogba and Martial were warming the bench yesterday.

So yeah i guess you're right.

Reminds me a bit of Di Maria who i thought was also class on occasions

I agree that he'd make a good squad player, but it's an upgrade and a guarantee of a proven world class talent in the Prem, pretty much, isn't it?

As for Pogba, we played Spurs the other night - or at least did for the first 35 mins - and were taken to the cleaners. Partly because Pogba still does his own thing and is unwilling to defend.

Glad the cnut was told to sit it out yesterday - might let him know he is mortal - because as a centre midfielder you have to track back. We were taught this at school, for fuck's sake. Go wherever you want, pretty much, but make sure you get back to protect the defence.

It was a shit performance, but Pogba's reluctance to do the dirty work is gonna be exposed time and time again unless he gets reined in.

No bias there then. I expect he was a fucking superstar while he was playing for you until Moronho decided he had too much flair.

No, Harry, he was flaky as fuck and went missing whenever it needed a pair of bollox.

In other words, a proper Arsenal player.

You'd better get used to seeing Sanchez in his standard position then.

He's the new Cantona

Deluded fookers..



Comment oses-tu!

Be gentle, I don't have time to follow football and I follow other sports.

Who here on the board follow La Liga?

Losing 4-1 to Watford. Tough night to be a Chelsea fan.








Just as well Chitty switched from Chelsea to Man City a few seasons ago.

Do you have any idea just how gay this sounds?

Why do you care who follows La Liga when you apparently don't?

And why post it in a PREMIER LEAGUE thread numbnuts.

I've got an idea.

Why not open a thread entitled "Which La Liga team do you support and know fuck all about? Barca or Real?".

You can take solace in the fact they'll be the richest Championship club in history.

You should beat Manchester Dhabi, because they'll have bought the league by then and will rest all their big name players if they are in a cup final.

Winter break moves closer for Premier League


The Premier League has warned broadcasters that a winter break could be introduced before 2022 as it works with the FA to bring the English game into line with the rest of Europe.
The Times has learnt that the prospect of a winter break is referenced in the tender documents that have been sent to potential broadcast partners for the upcoming sale of domestic TV rights for 2019 to 2022, the results of which are due to be announced next week.
