My team West Bromwich Albion are due for the drop from the Premier league. Abysmal is the only way to describe them this season. Sam Allardyce drafted in to supposedly stop them shipping goals. Well that hasn’t worked so far

Why oh why is it that every match I watch when a player commits a foul he is allowed to pick up the ball and walk away with it and the ref doesn’t say or do anything?

That gaining an advantage from committing a foul

So much breaking news re the ESL that I'm feeling dizzy!



Chelsea and Man City are pulling out. C4 have claimed that Atletico are also leaving, with Barcelona putting the decision to their fans!



And the latest according to AP:

Ed Woodward, the Executive Vice-Chairman of Man Utd and one of the prime movers behind the ESL, is resigning!

It’s all going pear shaped

🤔 I wonder if this ESL was all a bluff...

Only time will tell, I suppose...

That was my initial thought too. However, as several legal experts pointed out this afternoon, the speed at which the ESL applied for a court injunction against team and player bans suggests otherwise. These guys were expecting some kickback, and were "lawyered-up" in preparation.

It does appear, however, that they were not prepared for just how vociferous and united the protest would be...

The Canaries are back up to the Prem for another season at least.  Let's hope they're a bit more worldly-wise than last time or it's back to the Champs next May for them.

On the subject of the ESL, according to The Mirror (I know), you can get ESL shirts for the sneaky six for the knockdown price of £2 per club.  I'm going to try and get the set for £12, they'll be collector's items in years to come.

What is it about todays footballer. They can’t seem to take a corner/free kick without missing the first defender. With the amount of football I watch, yes I am a saddo, I admit it, you see it time and time again

Then there is this stupid rule that says you can have defenders in the area for goal kicks. Then when the keeper decides he won’t use them they are more often than not allowed to run up the pitch thus wasting playing time

Also, when a player commits a foul he is allowed to pick the ball up and walk away with it without any referee intervention. That really does annoy me

That’s my football rant done for today
