Dreading the club break. Ruining the international football season.
Just dawned on me that I literally watch no Premier League games at all that don’t involve Spurs.
Only just found by accident the Arsenal v Man City score from yesterday!
Will happily watch internationals and Welsh domestic football, but for years have been gradually losing interest in the PL.

Same. There was something romantic about seeing clubs like FIorentina (when they had Batistuta) and Valencia, and discovering great players who would never ever come to England.
Now it feels like everyone in the CL has at least one player who used to play for Tottenham.

As a competition the Champions League has left me cold for many years.
Used to love it growing up in the 90’s, a glimpse of players and teams you never saw on ITV.
But since it became a parade of the same old clubs and the saturation of football all over the place, just not feeling it any more.

Had Amazon Prime booked Rooney, Berbatov and Carrick as pundits before the Europa League Final and were hedging their bets on a Man Utd win?
Berbatov downed tools to force through a move from Spurs and Michael Carrick lasted a season. Club legends?! 😂

So Big Ange is to sign a two-year deal with Notttingham Forest then.
I wonder what made them settle on that length of contract?…

What’s stark is how we treat the U21’s differently to some nations.
Basically if you’re near a Premier League or Championship starting XI then you’re essentially in the🏴 senior squad no matter your age.
Given our player pool, that’s totally understandable.

I’m always fascinated by the cohort of (mainly) English football fans who would happily get rid of international qualifiers and disrupt the global football order just because they’d rather watch Nott’m Forest v Villa on TV rather than England v Andorra on four weekends of the entire season.

This is probably a common thread across part time football, but it strikes me that one thing the Cymru Premier suffers from is a lack of *news* in between matchdays.
With regular press conferences Swansea, Wrexham, C'diff etc provide almost daily headlines and transfer news.

As hilarious as it is for someone who grew up watching football in the 1990’s, Man Utd will continue fumbling until they drop any pretence that its still 1999 and that just being Man United counts for anything whatsoever.

Bruno Fernandes’ reaction there was 100% more “Oh shit, tomorrow’s headlines will be murder” than any disappointment about exiting the EFL Cup.

In the late 90’s didn’t they ban stuttering penalties or have I completely made that up in my head?

Been on a train for 20 mins and already someone’s whacked out their phone to have a loud conversation over speakerphone…
Why do people do that? The idea that you hold a phone against your ear has been well and truly lost on some.

I’m sorry but I’ll never get used to figures like £25m, £30m and £40m being banded around for bog standard Premier League players like its normal.
It wasn’t loo long ago that nominal fees, £2m, £3m were routine even in the top flight.
Yes, inflation to a degree, but what on earth happened?!
