West Allotment Celtic sounds like a team from Monty Python

he just looks like a sad drunk

I was hoping for a photoshop of Rebecca Vardy laying on the bed

FC Barcelona, Juventus, and Real Madrid CF welcome today's Court's decision enforcing, with immediate effect, UEFA's obligation to unwind the actions taken against all European Super League founding clubs, including terminating the disciplinary proceedings against the undersigning three clubs and removing the penalties and restrictions imposed on the remaining nine founding clubs for them to avoid UEFA's disciplinary action.

The Court backs the request made by the promoters of the European Super League, dismisses UEFA's appeal, and confirms its warning to UEFA that failure to comply with its ruling shall result in fines and potential criminal liability. The case will be assessed by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, which shall review UEFA's monopolistic position over European football.

We have the duty to address the very serious issues facing football: UEFA has established itself as the sole regulator, exclusive operator, and unique owner of rights of European football competitions. This monopolistic position, in conflict of interest, is damaging football and its competitive balance. As shown by ample evidence, financial controls are inadequate, and they have been improperly enforced. Clubs participating in European competitions have the right to govern their own competitions.

We are pleased that going forward we will no longer be subject to ongoing UEFA's threats. Our aim is to keep developing the Super League project in a constructive and cooperative manner, always counting on all football stakeholders: fans, players, coaches, clubs, leagues, and national and international associations. We are aware that there are elements of our proposal that should be reviewed and, of course, can be improved through dialogue and consensus. We remain confident in the success of a project that will be always compliant with European Union laws.

Bunch of morons. No one wants this apart from the 3 boards at those clubs, FSG and the Glazers. The latter two whose fans will not put with it.

Great competition they’ll have with three clubs.

Wonder what'll happen with the other teams, apparently they can't leave cos they have 'binding' contracts?

It's literally in the first sentence, they can do whatever they want.

Let the leagues ban them from playing, that's nothing to do with UEFA is it? Won't happen obv

Oh lol me can't read

lol City bidding £100M for Grealish when you have De Bruyne/Foden/Sterling/Gundogan/Mahrez/Fernandinho/Torres as midfielders already, you need a ****ing striker!!

Probably missed a couple out as well, is Cancelo a MF or a wing back?

edit: Rodri!

What was it about City walking the league and making the CL final without a striker makes you think they need one?! Pep once said he'd play with 11 midfielders if he could!

Why would you bother playing a striker when you can play another one of these midfielders. Just go 4-2-4-0 and win with 80% possession.

What's the situation with crowds in England? Full capacity or will it be restricted?

Looks as though they'll be allowed full capacity in the PL if they roll out vaccine passports.

Up here were starting the season with reduced attendancies so clubs are balloting season ticket holders. No info from the government going forward as to when we get to full attendancies again.

That the PL are doing this off their own back makes me so glad we've been relegated

Newcastle haven't signed anyone yet. They must be desperate to go down. 10/3 with Done for relegation.

assuming they have plenty of funds, it makes sense. yes, they could get a striker, but otherwise they are pretty stacked. this is a great squad planning/building move. De Bruyne and Mahrez are 30 now and may begin to fade. the time to buy is before the current generation falls off, not after.

LOL CELTIC

Might as well just give Rangers the title now

Whats the best phone out there currently? battery and camera is the only thing thats important. no budget

Who's making the new thread then?! I'd do it but the op would be horrendous

Go for it imo

What is the view now on Southampton following its trades so far? Still relegation bound?

I'd have the promoted sides + newcastle, palace and burnley as more likely to relegate than soton.
