Would they have the self awareness to think if were going to talk the talk we need to be able to walk the walk

I think winning the champions league would be walking the walk.

That's there holy grail, a bit like united winning the title after 26 years and Liverpool 30 years.

That being said the quadruple would put them in the history books, winning the champions league isn't going to do that.

Now I think united, arsenal and Liverpool are a bit obsessed with there individual achievements(treble, undefeated, 6 cl).

4000'people get to go to the match today on a bi step back towards big crowd events.

I think fan obsession is to some extent driven by the media. I imagine (something I will never have to worry about) if you win the champions league, you don't spend much time worrying about if you won the league cup and fa cup.

And then 20,000 for the Final apparently.

Individual brain farts, a small/lacking in depth squad, clever tactics by Bruce, a sterling performance from Saint-Maximim, down to 10 men yet still almost snatched a point. Much to be admired. 

Tuchel showing that Lampard was by far the poorest manager plying his trade in the top flight this season.

According to the article. Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal are the ones included with City yet to sign up.

I would think both Arsenal and Spurs could replaced if they don't act quickly both could be in long term decline.

Well, well, well. Bayern and PSG against the plans apparently. I'll wait until I hear more info when it is announced by I suspect the feeling will be what a bunch of twats...

Just read more on The Athletic. Sounds fucking tragic every club involved should hang their heads in shame. I understand the desire to make huge profits but that is not the way football should be played.

I'm surprised we have 5 for if those two are against it as I think the English clubs have the most to lose. There was a guy on tv saying Spanish flu took a decade to mutate into something as deadly as normal flu and so if we are expecting something similar with covid we could have rolling travel restrictions for the same length.

You'd think the Schengen area would be back to normal much more quickly than travel between the UK and Europe and so our clubs could be at a massive disadvantage with regards to ticket revenue and away support. I would of thought covid would of made the revenue in your home country much more important.

City not on the list but yes kicked out and their players banned from world cups / Euro's too.

No word on City being involved yet. They should kick every fucker out, absolutely.

Ah I thought they had been. 

 

Man Utd are heavily involved, which doesn't surprise me

Times says not yet but guess we will find out tonight. It does seem to be a project by the American owners who want the NBA franchise model.

I love NBA but this just isn't it for the football. If Chelsea end up in one of these Super Leagues I will sack them off in a heartbeat.

Let's be honest there's no chance the premier league kicking out the top 6.
