    @Steve hmm are you sure nothing has changed? We will see this weekend how invincible they are.

      @AdamC Solskjær was my hero after the '99 champions leagues final! In hindsight, maybe that why I lost interest in football, subconsciously I knew it had peaked, and that nothing would ever be as exciting as that game...

      I also remember getting an award at school for a poem I wrote about Andy Cole, and reading it out loud in an assembly 😂

      “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

        @T4920 Haha brilliant! Was it about Cole because Solskjaer isnt the easiest to rhyme with?

        Im expecting a rendition of this poem tomorrow night please 😂

          @AdamC cole rhymed with goal, it wrote itself from there!

          @Steve no can do, I was conditioned to view Arsenal as my mortal enemies! Only time I ever heard my dad swear was when he'd chat about 'Arsène Wanker'..

            Only two times I've been invested in football since was the run up to Leicester's Premier League win/subsequent week long party in the city, and a random game I went to see in Hanoi, Vietnam where there were roughly 5 red cards, 10 ish goals, 2 fights and the crowd stormed the pitch after the game.

            From what I understood, this was just a regular mid season game with no real stakes, and everything that occured was totally normal.

            “𝑁𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑏 𝑦𝑜𝑢. 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑚𝑒𝑒𝑡 𝑖𝑡, 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜, 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑒 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑜𝑛 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑎𝑟𝑚 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑠𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡.”

                Not a football fan but the game @T4920 mentioned sounds more like “proper” football. Not sure if the Highway Act of 1835 or the formation of the IFAB in 1886 is the point where it all went wrong. Probably no going back to the days when the only rule was no murder or manslaughter 😃

                          @Megatron1505 there are rules in place to stop anyone from becoming the next Man City? Is that to level the playing field so that nobody gets to that level, or so that Man City stays at that level and nobody can reach them?

                          Also, you've caught my attention. Newcastle United sounds like good candidate. Hmmm...

                            @AdamC This sounds like some top tier football! The Chicago Bulls in the 90s were a thing of legends as well. I'm not even a basketball fan, but there was an undeniable energy around the Bulls in the Michael Jordon years, and it's still hard to believe that anyone was that good.

                                  @Buckeye glad someone else understands the pain and sadness. 😅

                                  @seawolf totally get it. As bad as my hometown team is, I have a hard time supporting. Shoot, Atlanta United is doing just as poorly. Leeds my chosen non-American team, is down in the Championship fighting the good fight to get promoted back to the PL.

                                        @seawolf like the article @Alex posted says, it’s super complicated and it’s more than a little politically motivated by the traditional powers (who amassed their fortunes before the rules came in), and those with a vested interest in the Premier League as a brand.

                                        That’s my view anyway, others may (and probably will) disagree.

                                          Pick a team you have a decent change to visit and get tickets to. Smaller London clubs for example are great: fulham, brentford, luton.

                                          Maybe Betis or Sevilla from laliga. And as a newcomer RedBull teams are good and trollish options Salzburg or Leipzig. Personally I would skipp Serie A.

                                          If you want the best club then Arsenal obviously
