I think the points thing is having a massive impact though. It's just a psychological thing, imo. It's affecting fans and imo the atmosphere at the ground . It's probably affecting the manager, and aside from the obvious psychological effect...

Yep. Stopped reading most posts about a week ago. Just scroll through now, reading the occasional comment, but mainly looking for linked articles from any journo's who might start getting the world out a touch early On;y so many times a man can...

Aye sounds about right. Giving them a token foot in and a political football to use. Hopefully that’s not accepted and there’s deeper regulation for the national game. Moving towards majority fan owed models.

Wouldn't surprise me if the PL's endgame is to have any new government regulator, effectively replace this panel. I feel like that's the kind of regulation they can accept. What they don't want is a new regulator coming in and making rules.

So, what your saying is, a war in Europe increasing construction prices, destabilising confidence in financial markets, directly removing the ability for our main sponsor to actually sponsor us, alongside accusations against a player under our...

Same as the old matt

But we usually draw against Liverpool at home? Why do you fancy Luton and Forest, who have both accumulated less points than us in real life, to pick up points in all the fixtures that we have to write off? This doesn’t really make logical sense...

Any points deduction, even 1 point, is totally unfair and disproportionate, because this is nothing to do with football And the same goes for Forest. Would be an absolute joke if they lose points too for having the audacity of trying to build a...

They don't like the status we hold as stakeholders? It's something I've pondered for a while, but always stopped short of putting the tin foil hat on. I've recently noticed Rick Parry bringing up the subject of certain PL clubs having more of a...

But it highlights that skills are very much still valued higher than athleticism, which you claim isn't the case in today's game. Today's players are fitter because they're pushed to be fitter. They're not all super athletes. Some of the best...

Yeah, don't buy it. The athleticism comes from years of academy work and an understanding of sports science. Yesterday's players would still make it to the top in today's game. Skills are what separate Mo Salah from Demarai Gray. Or are we just...

Be interesting to see how the likes of Salah would cope with tackles from behind, and generally being kicked all game. It's a daft argument comparing old players to new players. People like to say 'the game has changed so much' but has it...

As long as there are teams intent on having 70% possession in games there’ll always be managers who look for ways to win with 30% possession.

I’ve already got a season ticket for Marine FC and it’s BRILLIANT
