It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

Auba going to Chelsea?!

Also I watched the Wrexham premiere. Was very cringy at first but after finding out about how bad they've been screwed over shady owners before I think this may just work out great

Edit: I mean they were near promotion last year

I just finished watching this one too. It does look pretty promising and hopefully based on what we’ve seen it could be more like the Sunderland one and less of a PR puff piece like most AON’s are. I’m excited there’s going to be a dozen episodes I saw too

I mean let's be honest at that level any kind of money and publicity can change the scene and if they lean into u can see them being in league two in a couple years tops then who knows

I meant similar to Sunderland as they won't shy away from showing the good and the bad. At least that's what it felt like from the first episode. I think it'll be mostly positive but Wrexham's story was pretty grim before the takeover so they'll probably show bits and pieces of that.

At what level do the supporters not have a say in who owns the club? I’d imagine that doesn’t apply to most of the teams in the PL.

I think it varies drastically by each individual situation. Some supporters might protest (like we saw last year with the short-lived Super League idea) and the public pressure would cause a change in course. I mean, even Tottenham U-turned on hiring Gennaro Gattuso as their manager instead of Nuno Espirito Santo last year because of public pressure. The pressure on the Glazers with United's terrible start to the season has some rumblings of the Glazers thinking about selling.

So, it depends.

I used to feel that way, probably because of a 90s hangover, serie a was on free tv here then and was the best. Plus that awesome Juventus team that we drew in Europe every year. In reality they’ve not had a team that’s been any use in a European level since 2015.

I think in your favour Napoli have never been top level, more dangerous dark horse and they’ve lost two of their best players in Ruis and Koulabaly.

Preparing yourself for the huns away, the atmosphere in ibrox will be white hot.

Naaahhhh that aint it man. Milan and Inter are class these days. Juve and Napoli are no slouches either.
And Juve was in the final in 2017. It is ok to say that you dont watch the league, but please don't talk down on it.
It sucks getting constantly clowned on by England, Spain, and Germany fans.

Look the success of leagues is cyclical. In the 90s Italy had the most money, and so the best players, combined with the most inovative coaches. Serie A was brilliant. Equally all of Europe used to shit on the English league back then as passion over substance.

Right now England has that. Spain has Barcelona and Real Madrid who financially transcend the league. Similarly France has PSG and Germany has Bayern who do the same, but for very different reasons.

There isn’t an Italian club team that convinces me on the international scene, you don’t need to watch the league to see that, you need to watch the champions league and none of them challenge consistently. I’m sure their time will come again but right now its someone else’s go.
