  1. I consider the March international break to be the dividing line and the first games back afterwards to be the official "business end" of the season, so hold tight this does not go our way in recent years.
  2. Yeah it's a fair whack. England's is 1.95bil euros a season (well is from 2025 to 2029) albeit that's between two teams more. I don't think another league gets more money than Germany other than England but could be wrong.
  3. Am I right in saying that the German TV deal is actually quite lucrative these days?
  4. Kramaric being in his 30s makes me feel old. Said like I'm not in my 30s myself.
  5. I put money on them about a year ago at 25/1 so I agree. They go too far in tournaments too often to not be in the discussion at this point. now 40/1 on 365 so that wasn't as good as it sounded. I dispute them being a bigger price than someone like Denmark - who for me have become vastly overrated.
  6. Croatia seem to be getting more love than usual going into a tournament. Often overlooked but very rarely have a bad tournament. So it feels like with this being acknowledged more this time around they will probably flunk it.
  7. Germany getting ridiculously overlooked here for me. They have gone through a very bad spell but I think with tournaments that isn't always necessarily relevant and it's more about hitting your stride when it arrives, and that win at the weekend is a sign that they may be about to.
  8. You have time away from England and your hopes start to build. Then occasionally the reality takes over the hypothetical and you remember why it's just probably never going to happen under this manager.
  9. Stan has been officially early kick offed.
  10. You know when you said it's never boring
  11. This weekends fixtures are repulsive. I'll take this without loads of thought being put into it:
  12. This is where my sympathy with us dies. I've never quite understood the way we've voted on these sorts of things. I really do suspect foul play. Why would we vote to hurt ourselves? Just as a side note, are Leeds potentially in any bother? I look at some of your signings and the fact you've got so many big money players out on loan and think there's a possibility you get done, but then you did make a couple of significant sales. I find so many of these debates people just want to point to one particular issue when there are numerous. When I call the Premier League corrupt and a shambles, I don't do that from the position of thinking Leicester have been a well oiled machine, and likewise when I criticise Leicester's poor dealings I don't say that from the position of wanting to defend what is clearly a rigged system against clubs like ours - but then it's one that we have voted for ourselves. I really do miss the days we used to argue about footballers and teams. I've actually quite enjoyed some of the bile to and from Coventry and Leeds fans in a really backwards way. They're football arguments how I remember them!
  13. I think a lot was revealed about who really holds the cards in April 2021 when the super league happened and then fell to bits. The speed which that got brushed under the carpet was quite revealing - tells me that people aren't 'really' bothered about the integrity of the sport as long as they have the illusion of a competitive league system playing out. The clubs weren't punished one bit and nobody is truly bothered by it. That tells you who really holds the power. Football doesn't really embrace radical change like that, but the fans in this country collectively don't really make any fuss about the gradual creep towards everything they would lose their shit about if it did happen overnight. I think things are in a far worse place than 10 years ago for example and it all comes via the subtleties. I think the super league does eventually happen, but by the time it happens, the majority will either be so worn down that it isn't even viewed as a bad option, or even what we have now will just become the super league by stealth. I've had my emotion totally stolen from football to be honest. I don't know if it's just a side effect of getting older and wiser, whether it's because I've witnessed genuine highs and lows or if the sport is just getting worse. It's a combination of all three but I don't think I'll ever truly get that back now. I have so little good to say about it these days.
  14. Pretty much entirely this. I'm bored of it already and we've only been charged officially a few hours ago. It's a dreary experience. Luton fans will tell their grandkids about the day the courts sent Forest down at their expense. The pitch invasions of their garden were to die for.
