European Super League

Maybe a few executives at a low level is shaken by the response but the top guys? No chance.

The Sp**s reel is comedy gold

Squires always delivers

Arteta should quit today. He came here to coach mid-table Premier league Arsenal, not bottom Super League Arsenal.

Can't trust any organisation that starts a four tweet thread with 1/1, tbh.

Corbyn would get Kroenke out.

The owner of DAZN, who is supposedly getting the TV deal, is a Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik btw.

JP Morgan, The Glazers, FSG, Kroenke, The Agnelli family, Blavatnik and the Don Perez. What a wonderful bunch of people that got together for a noble cause to save the football.

I couldn't make this **** up if I was on LSD ffs.

Let’s not go too far.

Cricket is just Baseball with Khakis and tea and crisps insted of burguers and a big gulp. Change my mind.

Pussies they didn't expect that kind of reaction?

No I'm saying they could finish above any number of teams in this SL but because they're not a founding member they'd lose their place over teams that they've proved themselves better than over the course of the competition. It doesn't have to be Leicester either, could be Roma, Monaco, Ajax or whoever you want to name that has progressed far in the CL lately.

What if a Porto say even won the thing but maybe didn't win their domestic league? Are they not allowed back next year either because they're not a founding member? Pure elitism.

Case in point Atalanta.

Qualified for the knockout stages of the CL for two years in a row all within a very tight budget not long after getting promoted and now they’re probably going to finish in the CL places for a third year in a row at the expense of an ESL team.

That’s a club who’s built through sound planning a consistent top level team but because they don’t sell enough shirts in China they’re cut out of the ESL.

These clubs freely admit they don’t want more Leicesters and Atalantas but why is it up to them? Football has always ebbed and flowed, if Arsenal and Sp**s can’t run a club successfully then they’ll rightfully get overtaken for now by other clubs.

Just because the big 6 earn all the money now doesn’t mean it will always be this way. If the ESL wasn’t a thing would anyone look at Sp*rs and see anything else other than a club in decline?

I'm waiting for the picture of Boris Johnson in a Challenger 2 tank parked outside the Emirates. Perhaps with a Lancaster bomber escorted by a Spitfire doing a flyover.

Can ESL give SSN 50m just to shut the hell up?

Of course they did. They are not brain damaged.

You're genuinely contemptible. I really try not to engage with you, you've been a blight on this forum ever since you joined, but this comment right here makes my blood boil. You fundamentally either don't understand football or you actively dislike football.

@American_Gooner think our boi dash deserves a better tag.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Abra is good guy according to Matt. What the f**k is this?

Can we make Dash trusted please? Elite posting.

As a Leicester fan it's refreshing to see so many of you opposed to this.

Your football club is your football club at the end of the day, it doesn't matter whether you're playing Arsenal or Grismby. If the 6 want to go, that's fine, we'll carry on regardless, just with lower transfer fees and wages, but in a more competitive league.

For years I've been going down the City, almost a decade as an adult now, it's all about the day out, the experience and the crack with your mates, winning things or seeing the best players comes second to most match going fans IMO.

I can't see it happening anyway, too much backlash, but there needs to be big changes now, none of these owners (I won't say clubs as it's not fans or players fault) must be forgiven, the cat is out of the bag. I hope we change our ownership model, to ensure fans have more of a say in the running of their clubs.

The ammount of pots and kettles calling each other black here is sickening, really.

"Sky Sports News have been offered a a large bribe to back the ESL, per my source on the top football forum on the internet Yousif" ...Kaveh Solhekol

True. Unfortunately, he’d also get the Jews out, tank the economy and hand the keys to Russia... Bizarre he and Starmer were ever members of the same party, let alone supporters of the same team!

Big Bryan dunking on Kaveh.
