Aaron Ramsey has been told he's not wanted at Juventus. :lol:
I’d have him back tbh. Not that we’d be able to afford him now but let’s say we can’t secure Ceballos, we could do a lot worse than getting Ramsey on loan.
Winter break :rose:

Koeman set for the Barca job. :lol:
A bit defensive for that to last too long. :lol:
The government seems to have decided that non-league football fans are more expendable than others...

Small crowds are obviously easier to manage, but football fans are generally idiots and there's no way any social distancing will be observed.
:)
Maybe Ole was at the wheel? :d

Le Tiss, Champagne Charlie and Thommo have been given the boot from Soccer Saturday.
Merse remains then? :haha:
No doubt they'll be replaced with some blacks or a woman.
Or, god forbid, a BLACK WOMAN!
:rolleyes:
Forlan sacked after 11 games :haha:

Brazil play wimmin footballers the same as men.

I guess because there is now equal* interest in the women's game.
[*there definitely is not]
Great now we await for English counterparts wanting the same.
it's only the national teams though even there, paying them the same clearly doesn't make sense as the overall quality of the product isn't as good in general, plus it doesn't have the same audience or revenues. although they are growing.
i think i'd prefer to see a good quality woman player allowed to play the men's game and earn the extra money that way. i think that's happening in non-league already over here, maybe it will start to make its way up the leagues and into international football
can't wait to see what you unreconstructed type think of that :lol:
All jokes aside, surely the very best women’s player on the planet would struggle even at a lower level in the men’s game, just on a physical level?
sure i was kind of joking, though it is true that it's happening at kids' level (not non-league as i said before though) https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/news...t-boys-3919018
and it could arguably help stop some of that violent tackling, which wouldn't be a bad thing, although i recall the 'lionesses' got pretty physical when they saw they were being outplayed in some game or other - was it the women's world cup or something?

Says it all, I'm afraid.
The revenue is the main point here. The quality is debatable, I actually think woman's football is pretty good. But it doesn't matter how good or bad it is.
If they're getting 60,000 people to shell out £50+ to watch them every week and huge global TV audiences which attract the same level of sponsorship then they get the same money.
There's a particular type of feminism which pretends that men and women are the same when they demonstrably aren't. Very silly.
Cardiff and swansea both knocked out of league cup already
Wales :haha:
Dragons :haha:
Rugby :haha:
Coal mining :haha:
Ivor the engine :haha:

All Premier League games will be shown on TV in September.

Why Morgan why?
Still would though.
The Belgian league is top top quality.

The ladies team just put 9 past West Ham.
Women's football is shit. Prove me wrong.
Just because it's better than mens football (men being used in the vaguest possible sense here) doesn't make it good.
He went full Gervais.
I wonder if they will be able to go back to showing just a select few games a week?
Now that fans will have got used to being able to see their club play every game live on tv, i think the league might struggle to change it back. It’s not like the majority of fans can go into the stadium to watch the game anyway even when fans are allowed.
Suspect this will be here to stay and it should be. The 3pm blackout is a nonsense and also in other countries, they can watch every premier league game live if they want, its not right that those in the UK can only watch the ones sky or BT say they can
doh
the 3pm blackout is to avoid lower league attendances plummeting in the UK - 3pm saturday is the timing of most games in the championship and pretty much all games below that. it's a perfectly fair policy which the people on here who bemoan the PL taking away football from its roots should applaud
but clearly, if people are watching the premier league in other countires that's not a factor...
Except that these days, most premier league games dont seem to be played at 3pm on a Saturday for a variety of reasons. European football, tv picks moving games etc.
I could be wrong but I think two years ago, arsenal only played one game at home at 3pm on a Saturday.
A way around it is just to not schedule any 3 pm starts in the PL. As Ollie correctly infers, we aren’t too far from doing that already.
Also, just how much would televising the 3 pm kickoffs that remain actually affect lower league attendances?
I can’t see too many giving up attending local football to watch the big clash between Fulham and Southampton.
