The Football.....

What, like the £115m Palace raked in last season (ex' merchandising/sponsorship etc money) by simply being part of a league that pulls in enormous amounts of revenue. Even more this year if they manage to stay up and they'll still be very well rewarded if they go down.

Let's take the two Manc's, the three big London teams and Liverpool out of the mix and put them all in a Europe wide super-league and then watch the Premiership revenues dry up.

Way too much moaning about the money that the 'big' clubs have without recognising the knock-on benefit of their global appeal to other clubs in the league.

Scraps off the table as per players, players being paid way beyond their ability to warm other teams first team or reserves. I cannot figure out why to be honest, is it a profitable business?

When Chelsea as is their right keep fuelling the first team with top dollar experienced players. So making it less likely any of these talented or not so talented players ever play for Chelsea. If you know the answer I would love to know. The 17 -21 year olds may well all be budding Eden Hazards but the one who I quoted just seems bizarre, and I am sure if any of the over 20's were budding superstars they wouldn't be out on Loan to Crawley, Forest Green etc Just all seems a bit strange.

I will ignore the super league elitist bollox :-)

Meh. The whole not celebrating against your former club thing is total bollocks.

The best one was Adebayor running the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of Arsenal fans.

I agree. I'd like to have seen him drop his shorts to the Everton fans then run along the touchline flicking V's at their bench while shaking an imaginary Coke bottle. Proper celebration.

Everton have a remarkable record though, unbroken membership of the top flight since 1954, a record only surpassed by Arsenal.

Bromley FC is a surprisingly modern ground with good facilities. (It has a 3G pitch). It's also inside a park so the bike stands are well out of the way.

I know a bit more about Bromley now since my team got pumped there 6-1 recently.That was a big shock.Still we are getting used to losing now.

Apparently Kick it Out reckon the chant about Lukaku is racist and should be banned.

I suppose it is, technically, but it's playing up to a stereotype rather than anything to do with the colour of his skin. We had a chant about Simon Ford's "third leg" at Killie. Can't remember it exactly but it was also vaguely amusing and not considered racist.

And Slim Jim Sako scores making me look a like a twonk! He didn't have move much for it in my defence...

What pissed me off was this fellow.

Cupping his hand to his ear after he'd scored against his former club,to say to his former fans i don't give a toss about you!
That and the reported attempted theft of his £250,000 Rolls Royce! The money they're on is obscene! Not only the players,but the likes of Lineker raking it in as well. Why the f..k does Phil Neville want a job on the MOTD panel,when he's already a multi millionaire? Not only from his football but also from his wife's inherited family wealth.

According to a friend who is season ticket holder at Old Trafford, said player had been receiving dogs abuse from the Everton fans throughout the match; hence the ear cupping.

The Lukaku chant should be banned for being crap.

Mark Sampson has been sacked as manager of the England ladies football team. The reason given is "Inappropriate relations with female players" during his time with Bristol academy. Ugandan discussions immediately spring to mind, though no doubt we won't have long to wait for the details as the tabloids will be waving cheque books at all and sundry.

Pity really, I watched the match last night and they were rather good with very high skill levels.

Anyone playing Rangers is going to look good. A shambles, on and off the park.

While I can understand the questions around the Lukaku chant, this is beyond me. What a daft thing to do!

"The FA confirmed it took down the banner at Prenton Park but said it would be making no further comment".

Put the banner back up and tell the FA to feck off!

Sign of the mad world we now inhabit I'm afraid.

I've noticed that we now not only have gender neutral but gender fluid people too. So maybe we'll eventually have club fluid supporters as well - maybe they'll be Liverpool fans at the start of the season and then after a fast start followed by a few dodgy results they'll slowly morph into Red Devils for a more stable and predictable ride through to May.

If I were Lukaku I'd be delighted if I had 70,000 people chanting that I had a 24" penis. Who'd turn down free advertising like that?

The only racism there is in the minds of the complainers, the P word was used because it rhymes with genius, if you listen to the chant. "He's got a bigger one than you" is a common chant from fans after an alcatration between opposing players and no one bats an eyelid, no matter what the colour of those involved.
