Absolutely not. Quite the opposite.

I’m comfortable with that

4 tellies at the back of my garage.

None of them are mine.

When I can I'm glued to Radio.

Only watch telly early morning coffee & evening meal.

98% of what I watch is streaming iPlayer Netflix etc + JA.

You're scaring them now.

Inadequacy JA rating jumped 12 points there.

I see Boris Johnson as now joined the chorus of complainers.

Usually the sign of a good idea as well.

Very interesting this super league malarkey. Certainly I would not pay to watch any of it, enduring six OF games a season is bad enough. I have never looked in on El Classico other than if it happens to be on when on holiday in Spain.
Reading on I see that all teams and players would be barred from any other Uefa or Fifa competition, so no world cups for these "elite" players.

So to sum up, I say let them go for it, its a disaster in the making, hell mend them

Actually the more I think about it, its a brilliant idea. Would be nice to see Everton/West Ham/Aston Villa etc win the English league and perhaps a Scottish teaam would have a chance at Champions League Quarters or semis....I'd like to see this happen

Would be hilarious if UEFA and the Premier League followed through on their threat to ban these clubs.

Seeing them relegated etc 😂

Champions League might be interesting for a change now.. almost always the same 8-10 teams that are in the QFs.

It could actually be a positive thing for European football. UEFA won’t be held to ransom (well not quite as much) when the main greedy b@stards have buggered off, though Bayern have always been one of the main agitators and they’re not one of the clubs that plan to leave.

It may open European football up a bit more and that can only be a good thing.

Confirmation of the breakaway:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56795811

posted on 18/4/21

Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham are among 12 clubs who have agreed to join a new European Super League (ESL).

In a seismic move for European football, the Premier League clubs will join AC Milan, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid.

The ESL said the founding clubs had agreed to establish a "new midweek competition" with teams continuing to "compete in their respective national leagues".

It says the inaugural season "is intended to commence as soon as practicable" and "anticipated that a further three clubs will join" the breakaway.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Uefa and the Premier League condemned the move when news of it broke on Sunday.

In a statement, the ESL said: "Going forward, the founding clubs look forward to holding discussions with Uefa and Fifa to work together in partnership to deliver the best outcomes for the new league and for football as a whole.

"The formation of the Super League comes at a time when the global pandemic has accelerated the instability in the existing European football economic model.

"In recent months, extensive dialogue has taken place with football stakeholders regarding the future format of European competitions.

"The founding clubs believe the solutions proposed following these talks do not solve fundamental issues, including the need to provide higher-quality matches and additional financial resources for the overall football pyramid."

Manchester United co-chairman Joel Glazer will be a vice-chairman of the Super League.

He said: "By bringing together the world's greatest clubs and players to play each other throughout the season, the Super League will open a new chapter for European football, ensuring world-class competition and facilities, and increased financial support for the wider football pyramid."

What is the proposed format?

The league will have 20 teams - the 12 founding members plus the three unnamed clubs they expect to join soon and five sides who qualify annually according to their domestic achievements.

It will start in August, with midweek fixtures, and the clubs will be split into two groups of 10, who play each other home and away.

The top three in each group qualify for the quarter-finals, with the teams in fourth and fifth playing a two-legged play-off for the two remaining spots.

From then, on it will have the same two-leg knockout format used in the Champions League before a single-leg final in May at neutral venue.

That is the easy out. Tell them to fook off, then they haven't a leg to stand on
