It seems the bigger Clubs are getting bigger and the so-called smaller Clubs are just fodder. Two examples Liverpool 9-0 Bournemouth and now Dundee Utd 0-9 Celtic. Is it the right way to let those Clubs have a Super League and let the rest get on with a chance of being the best in the League they play in?
The game it seems is losing its appeal for the fan who isn’t a championship chaser.
No.Quote:

It’s football. These things happen from time to time in every league in the world.
Didn't Spurs batter Bristol Rovers 9 nil , probably late seventies ?
As to should the big boys piss off and form a super league yes , the sooner the better
What about Liverpool's other results this season?Quote:

It's a logical process as far as I am concerned
The first 9-0 result in the Premier League was in 1995. Sometimes it just happens.
Until the football rules are changed and the finances of clubs are properly monitored there will never be a level playing field.
Football is basically bent the higher up the pyramid you go the more bent it is.
I've said the plastics should have a super duper league for years now. Let them play one another 4 times per season and let the rest of us get on with itQuote:

But the fact is there never has been a level playing field. The bigger clubs have always had significant and obvious advantages over the smaller clubs. It’s not a new development.Quote:

The rest of us do get on with it.Quote:

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 🙄Quote:
