The PL is a blight on football.
It’s a money oriented commercial vehicle for corporate interests and sportswashing dubious regimes.
It isn’t just destroying the historic community based fabric of the game here , it’s malign influence spreads to...
Absolutely blob on.
As much as I love the NFL, the 'Americanisation' of English football has slowly been taking a hold so that it'll start catering less and less to the 'traditional' fan and more to the 'general audience'. The new stadium will...
We will inevitably become what we don't want to be. It's the true curse of commerciality whether we like it or not. The change will be slow and gradual so less noticeable but it will come. We still think we are The People's Club and to a degree...

I think this kind of scaremongering chat is part of the issue. These sort of posts don't serve well and this informative information doesnt help anxious fans who are travelling for the first time. 53,000 isn't even the capacity, it around 52...
Has he more end product, 2 yrs older and got no goals in 11 games for Leicester last season and 6 in 40 the year before near the top of the championship. I’d back dibbling to get better stats in the championship this season if he stayed and got...
What's all this talk about Southampton moving on their valuation?
We didn't last season with Branthwaite amid all the Man Utd talk.
