UEFA are actually very much against a European Super League. Whenever it's mentioned it's always talked about as a breakaway from UEFA meaning their competitions would lose a lot of the good teams and therefore their revenue would be seriously hit. That's why they are making these changes to persuade the top clubs (mostly those in Spain/Italy that are jelly of the premier league money) to stick with their competitions rather than making their own super league.

So it's only top clubs in Italy and Spain that want it? Surely Prem Clubs don't as it would be seen as a risk instead of garenteen money like it is now. Barcelona and Real make enough money already, surely they don't need that extra potential £20mil a euro superleague might make them?

I dunno. I've never really followed the idea of Euro Super League as not really concerned as Saint would never get in it.



Hmm, pie.

Leicester will not finish in the top 10. Do not be surprised if they get relegated this season.



EPL Top 5 predictions:
1. Man City
2. Man Utd.
3. Chelsea
4. Arsenal
5. Liverpool



Man U vs Saints tonight on Friday due to TV rubbish. I don't like the idea of Friday night football but then saints being in Europa means we won't have to deal with it for a while... just thursday and Sunday games.



Hmm, pie.

I'd like to express my condolences to all FC Barcelona fans due to the purchase of Ajax goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen.

He won't play. Ter Stegen will be happy now



2 wins out of 2 for United - much better start than last year.



Good match! It's a joy to watch Pogba and Zlatan play. It also feels good to see Shaw be a complete beast down the left wing.

Refs have been inconsistent so far. Should have been a penalty for Stoke, but I'm not talking about this game only. Of course we're only on 2nd week.



And THAT was a pen and a yellow?? What is going on? 😆
