tomski Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 Honestly can’t help themselves Gianni seems hellbent on leaving a bellend legacy. He’s given us so much already. Also don’t like it as someone will get stiffed. What happens if someone goes down but they have to play man city 3 times where said rival plays Burnley 3 times? Not a level playing field. Quote
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 This isn't about an additional fixture but about holding regular league fixtures abroad Quote

Not worth commenting really, as they don’t listen and don’t give a fuck about you, me or any other customer. Quote
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 Aye If there's money to be made, it'll eventually happen somehow Quote

If we left FIFA, the very strong likelihood is that even more power would rest in the hands of the "big" clubs, who are practically gagging for this kind of thing Quote
Marc505 Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 Tellin yer, before long there's going to be some sort of magic weekend "derbies round" held in the USA where shit fixtures like Fulham v Brentford are used as a curtain raiser for Arsenal v Spurs, and everyone's going to get fuck loads of money thrown at them to grease the wheels.
