    Nasty attempt by the PL to cut the other leagues clear (financially) .
    The only match reforms that affect English clubs that I want to see are :

    1. Promotion/relegation play-offs only happen when a group of teams
    are equal on points, and their gaps between each other on GD is less
    than half the league games played by each team in a season.

    2. UEFA change the fixture scheduling so that CL/EL games are played
    on tuesday - thursday, such that in the group stages each club
    plays two fixtures on tue / wed / thurs. KO stages applies the same to
    a consecutive set of 3 ties a club is involved in.

    Despite seeing him play many times, I was still astonished at the power and accuracy of some of his shots. Not like Djokovic was playing badly, but still got blown off court.

    For no reason whatsoever, here's a clip from six years ago of Buzz Aldrin lamping a flat earther

    People going mental at Windy because he said something that they disagree with? ****ers.
    I'd appreciate the effort that he goes to, even if it was for another club.
    There's no glamour and little clout in following the youth sides relentlessly, yet he gives people some insight into what's going on.

    He values the experience over trophies and you disagree? Oh, well.
    ****ing death threats over that? Social media gets worse by the week, somehow.

    Not sure if this is the right thread for this or the politics thread , last night at the London palladium Arsene Wenger's book launch had this amount of people in a theatre but the public can't watch football, rugby F1 ect in an open air venue with masks on , have I missed something? I've never seen this amount of people for a book launch before let alone one by this old personality vacuum IMG_20201013_095210.jpg

    If that event was anything in duration comparable to 2x45 mins + 15 min
    interval, the govt is completely rumbled over at least 10K attendances
    at new WHL.

    Most of them are probably Arsenal fans, so it's an acceptable loss situation.
    There'll be some collateral damage, but that's always a possibility.

    On a related note, is anyone sick and tired of Andrew Lloyd Webber appointing himself as the lord and saviour of London's theatres for the past few months?

    The worst part is his bluster about theatre dying out, as if it wasn't brutally murdered by him the minute the curtain went up for the first performance of Starlight Express...

    Yes.


    "The worst part is his bluster about theatre dying out ..."

    is that the mega millionaire gobsh*te, rather than using his own funds to
    personally prop up the industry, will probably be able to buy all those
    bankrupt theatre sites at "fire sale" prices and then really proclaim
    himself as "lord and saviour" .

    I read the blog and copied this extract that sums up football and my attitude to it perfectly:

    For me, it’s always been about the journey, not the destination. Would I swap Arsenal’s last six years for ours because they’ve won some FA Cups? Absolutelynot. Many would and that’s also fine. Football fandom is a personal thing. I don’t believe that the point of football fandom is ‘trophies’ or ‘winning’. I believe that football is about escapism, family, friendship, community, values, belief, optimism, culture, history. If football was solely about winning, everyone would just go and support the team most likely to do so, no?

    And perhaps, in my case it also provides a link back to the city I grew up in and spent my first 23 years in.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if our interest in Kim is partly down to this. Adding another South Korean to the superstar we already have would send fans wild over there.
