Liverpool are awful

I remember when the European super league looked like it was a goer, with the big clubs saying yes.

Fan power, via protests, soon knocked that on the head.

Time for something similar I reckon.

Thing is the rest of us would have benefitted had they all fucked off.

I'm not so sure on that. 

It's still part of the game- players and fans witnessing their clubs pit their wits against one of the big boys.

Aye they generate most of the money produced in the game.

England would end up worse than Scotland as well.

I suppose in time new "big boys" may emerge, but it would be hollow.

It wouldn't be long before those that left came crawling back neither.

The actions of fans showed just that.

Brentford are ace.

Good team, but don’t half seem to dive / go to ground too easily though. Dreadful.

I’m biased I guess as can’t stand KA.

Can knock him so far in his managerial career.

They really are excellent. Andrews would get coach of the year for me. Everybody (me included) expected that Brentford would go backwards when he took over.

Let’s see if they can do it at Macclesfield on a Monday night.

I am pretty confident that they will. A Premier League quality team that is full of the fight and determination of a plucky underdog. I'll be surprised if Macclesfields 'glory' or three minutes of fame hasn't been and gone.

When City host Arsenal later on, who wins?

damage could already be done by then, next 4 (on paper) easy for city 

arsenal have spurs, who may get a new manager bounce and chelsea away 

all down to bottle 

and you'd have to favour city, arteta far to negative and reliant on set pieces 

Edited February 13Feb 13 by L/H White

I feel this reliance on set pieces is a bit overblown. 

They also succeed with a lot of them too, which counts even much as an open play goal.

Still Arsenal's to lose, but city's win at Anfield has shaken things up a bit.

I didn't think they would win there.

Funny feeling Arsenal will kick away again soon. It's their time.

City have been unusually sloppy all season and look unable to make the most of any Arsenal slip up, however they've made 2 top notch signings in Jan, they could well make the difference. 

Arsenal stadium is a big bag of nerves if they're not 2-0 up early doors, which is piss funny and does them no favours.

They're absolutely abysmal to watch I hope they shit the bed again.

I think it shows the Brentford model is almost bullet proof. No one has left them post the Benham era and gone on to anything.

If the big clubs they go to allowed the managers the same approach then they might do better.

The managers themselves not to worry about trying to buy in too many initially neither. Even with money to spend.

Everyone seems to chase and demand success so quickly.

Yep that’s my point. Brentford and Brighton are the best run clubs by a country mile. They are the best examples of having a load of layers and making them useful. Manager goes. Loads of money and they already know the next guy. They’ve been ahead for over 10 years now.

Touching on from the Milner debate, just seen a list of the most minutes played in the premier league, Jussi is 10th all time.

I would imagine David James has more.

Just watching Chelsea at Hull.

Men against boys.

Hull not remotely in the game, and they're supposedly pushing for promotion to the Premier league. 

Miles apart.
