Ajax hit SEVEN last weekend. The disparity between teams in this league seems ridiculous.

It's 2018 you can't say things like that.

Greatest Showman 8/10. Your standard good Hugh Jackman musical.

The Palace Fan replied to a topic in Premier League - English Football Forum
Welcome to the forum. -
As for the Super League, ignoring the fact that Spurs who cant organise their own stadium have been invited which is hilarious, if plans materialise for a super league then the only stance football fans can really take is a boycott. What makes football special is the contribution the fans make. Look how odd the Croatia England felt and how weird it was when Dortmund fans went silent. I imagine the likes of Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern will push for it, but for the Premier League Clubs there's less of a push at the moment as they're making plenty of money in contrast to the rest of Europe. What I think the top six may do is use this as a bargaining tool to get what they want in the future. You can tell they're not happy about how the tv money is proportionally spread, and they could see this as their way to get a much bigger slice of the pie to avoid another Leicester.

Apparently Usain Bolt's demands were too high. It begs the question what on earth did he expect?

I'm trying not to judge the company's booking standards on the last two pay per views, even though I should, because I would like to think that the company want to head in another direction. I truly hope their thought process has been hindered by what would appeal more the Saudi audience. Which is an emphasis on 90's stars. The whole concept of the World Cup was a joke, just like the 'greatest' Royal Rumble to everybody outside of Saudi Arabia. Surely Vince and co are not stupid enough to think the concepts would be taken seriously elsewhere. What really worries me is that Brock Lesnar after his bollocks 500 day reign is Champion again. That to me suggests that Vince has no faith in any of the full timers to lead the show.

Evolution as expected delivered. Crown Jewell sounds like the shitest event ever.

It's some time in April.

Reiss Nelson didn't confirm of deny if he would like to stay at Hoffenheim. Different stance to the summer. -
Are you honestly telling me you don't believe that The Undertaker comes back from the dead every March?

The talk was Rock vs Roman at WM. NJPW & ROH are at Maddison Square Garden same weekend so The Rock was going to blow them out the water. Not sure what they have got planned now.
-
I was under the impression this is the match they had in mind since Summerslam because of the exposure it will give Total Divas. Which sounds legit.

I was beginning to warm to him to be honest. Especially with The Shield behind him. Yes, he's been given countless opportunities that could and possibly should have gone to others but I think he's conducted himself as a 'champion' well this year on Raw. The focus on Raw in the title picture is for the larger than life characters to go for the Universal title and your more technical enjoyable talents go for the Intercontinental title. Of those characters you have Brock whose never there, Brawn whose a cannonball, Lashley who looks bland, Owens whose injured and Drew whose still being built up. With that in mind maybe Roman is the right person for the title at present. For the record, i would rather see your generally more gifted and talented guys like Rollins be the whole focus of the brand. However with AJ carrying Smackdown and guys like Joe, Bryan, Miz and Nakamura all in the title picture is a nice compromise. Even if they are really toning him down by about 60 percent. Romans return in 2/3 years will be huge though. What a story that could be.

Left me speechless. Poor guy. Hope he makes a comeback in the not too far future.

PSV scored six this weekend. This Ajax team must be fuming that they've assembled a really good squad but they're competing against this PSV side.

Don't pay it @SirBalon. That's more than he's donated to the forum.

Thomas Vermaelen is out for up to six weeks again.

If he's on trial I think he has grounds to be shitty about it. You imagine clubs would do their own tests if he's offered a contract anyway.

So last night was TNA's WrestleMania - Bound For Glory. All in all a good show, but the ending has got everybody talking. I cannot work out for me if it was a work or a shoot. John Morrison beats Austin Aries, Austin Aries gets up after four seconds and no sells. He then starts shouting at the head booker who is up in the rafters, and then walks out after flipping the crowd the bird. Austin Aries has developed somewhat of a reputation as difficult to work with. His WWE release has allegedly been based on him being difficult to work with, he's joined companies on the premise of winning titles (then left after), he was the only person not to get booked at All In that was available, Chris Jericho has left him off his PPV and Cody Rhodes gave him a dig for not signing autographs for free. One story you can ignore, but all that in less than 18 months? He cut a promo beforehand last night of TNA being a second thought for John Morrison behind his reality career (which felt like he was speaking from the truth) and then when he walked out last night his hench men were standing at ring side looking like they didn't know what to do. On the flip side if Austin Aries is playing on the fact he's developed the difficilt reputation to work with then he's a fantastic actor and this is brilliant.

I think this will be a norm for WWE now given the way Matt Riddle has adapted to wrestling in the last couple of years.

That sucks. I was hopeing Conor fight’s the winner of Poirier Vs Diaz. Then the winner goes on to fight the winner of Khabib Vs Ferguson. Poirier Vs Ferguson would be the best eventual combination there.
