    The rest of us do get on with it.

      The question has always been whether or not they can use those advantages to build the best teams. Some do, some don’t. Same as it ever was.
      But with respect even you can surely see that the difference now is staggering

      Please don't that Premier league apologist crap with me , you are an ex punk ff sake , Where's your bollocks !

        Football is basically bent the higher up the pyramid you go the more bent it is.
        On the money , if you will pardon the expression

          Well now you are supporting Cardiff City again that's great but the only people you are supporting by paying for live football is the fat cats at the top

          Radical !

            FA to limit 3 non-british players per club. (not non-english - that would screw us!

              Out of curiosity, who would be in this Superleague? And why would it make things better? Clubs not getting hammered 9-0 by Liverpool? Palace seem to be doing OK. I'd take a 9-0 hammering by Liverpool next week.

                Why the need to mention the Premier League, it’s just the top flight division, always has been in whatever guise. Wolves shoved 9 on us in the 50s in the top flight, Preston did as well in the 60s albeit in the second division. Christ, Cambridge hit 7 against us at Ninian Park, we didn’t suggest they be fast tracked to Serie A:hehe:

                  I'm surprised no one has suggested this before 🙄

                    I think it would be better for all of us if you kept TLG's bollocks out of this.

                      Wigan beat Hull 8-0 in July 2020. I sincerely hope they are being considered for a place in the proposed Super League.

                        2012/13 - Chelsea 8 Aston Villa 0
                        2013/14 - Man City 7 Norwich 0
                        2014/15 - Southampton 8 Sunderland 0
                        2016/17 - Hull 1 Spurs 7
                        2019/20 - Southampton 0 Leicester 9
                        2020/21 - Man Utd 9 Southampton 0
                        2021/22 - Chelsea 7 Norwich 0
                        2022/23 - Liverpool 9 Bournemouth 0

                        Looks like the Super League is going to be a crowded affair.

                          Fraserburgh won 9-0 at Strathspey Thistle last weekend in the Highland League. Can I nominate them for the Super League?

                            We have got no chance of ever being a top 6 big club , the best we can hope for is a second rate Premier league ......if that's what you are arguing for

                            The big clubs are only interested in money and status so yes , I hope they piss off and join big clubs from Germany, Spain etc

                            It's a logical process as far as I am concerned
                            Yes but even second rate Premier League teams have to play the ‘big clubs’. Isn't that what it is all about ? Whats the point otherwise. Might as well scrap the whole league system. How would the so called ‘second rate’ Premier teams ever improve if they didn't play better teams. Theres nothing logical about your point at all. It is just the politics of envy.

                              As Bournemouth were on the end of spanking yesterday, I'd also like to nominate them. They won 8-0 at Birmingham City in 2014. Should be good enough.

                                I agree with dml1954 entirely.

                                This is a very special moment for me.
