Maybe an angle here is PSG for the champions league?
The market seems to think so, steady stream of backing all day, now favourites ahead of City,

I've already started to back city and have orders further up the ladder :D

The remaining 14 Premmier League teams will discuss the situation on Tuesday and then make a statement.

Wonder what they going to say, we not playing the Top 6 anymore and we want them removed from the Premmier League ?

Even before this I'd decided once fans were allowed back in I was going to go and watch a few of the lower division clubs near my area who play in the English national league and League 2
I've never been to a 'grassroots' match before so thought it would be interesting to see how it compares

If this does go ahead I'll go watch my local club which is St Patricks Athletic, currently joint top of the Irish Premier division so might even be some European action next year! :D

Their goalie is a young Czech lad on loan from Liverpool so maybe I'll use clubs that have Liverpool loanees as a surrogate for supporting Liverpool FC! :D
There's a good idea :D

I'm not one to get nostalgic but this was probably my favorite Liverpool team, just can't remember what season this was!

Good one, took me a few seconds to work that out ;)

An ESL source calls traditional fans "Legacy Fans" and wants to focus on "Fans of the future" who want superstar names.

Bet that will go down well. :o

Government says competition law could change if a "closed shop" arrangement went ahead.

They won't cut their noses off to spite their face otherwise the PL would end up like the BDO in darts. What kind of league would it be without those clubs in it and a roll of honour of league champions that included West ham.. Everton and Leicester every year.

I'd be stunned if they just handed the CL to PSG. What happens if they change their mind as these 12 are only founding members anyway. This movement is a knee jerk and PSG are layable IMO. Great value in the bottom half of the draw with Real and Chelsea

Could also say Leicester for League and FA cup double, but who gets the League cup?

Will be interesting to see what Klopp says in the interview after tonights dead rubber...

Fair play to Klopp, good to see he's not toeing the party line

That looks a bit like John Henry under the Liverpool bus! :D

Sounds like they timed this while there's no fans in the stadium? Because the backlash would be immense.

And the timing with Jose getting sacked a week before he gets a chance to win a trophy for Spurs? That's just brutal. I dislike the guy but that's absolute savagery :|
