Pasquale for King Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 3 hours ago, Jambo-Fox said: Some would say it’s the best league in the world! And it’s hard to argue against that If the best players in the world play in it! What best players in the world in their particular positions play there? Ronaldo/ Van Dijk/De Bruyne I would say. France, Germany, Italy and Spain still have a lot of the best players in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleJambo Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 8 hours ago, Smith's right boot said: Football is ****ed. I hate it at the top level now. We've had season tickets at Crystal Palace for years. Up until this season in the form of a card to gain access to the Stadium. This season, in their wisdom, the club have introduced a 'digital' season ticket which you download from the club website on your smartphone to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay. Of course, the system wasn't ready for the first game so they issued e-tickets for that game. Second game is against Spurs on Saturday. As of yesterday, I hadn't heard anything. I only found out via Twitter that the digital ticket was available and what to do. Eventually the club issued an announcement on their website yesterday evening (with no apologies). Loads of supporters saying they have elderly and younger relatives who don't have smartphones and can't download the ticket. And the club announced yesterday they are going back to cards for Under-16s and will be issuing those over the coming days. Complete and utter shambles. Palace saying all EPL clubs following this route this season - interested to know if this is the case. And of course, I and others will be getting to the ground early to make sure we get in - and so will be spending money on beer and food in the stadium. In the end, as has been said by others, all about money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk bang on about the quality, but is it any more exciting or better than the 70's, 80's and early 90's? Just seems bloated and the finances have screwed most clubs in England and the other top leagues as they try to compete. Fans are an after thought- imo it won't be long before sky schedule kickoff times to suit the Asian and American TV markets. I'd say 3 years.

Taffin Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I really enjoy it but the threat of it becoming a top 3 is an issue. Nobody in their right mind would watch Scottish football outside of fans of the club's because: 1. Its awful quality 2. (And maybe more importantly) you know with certainty one of two teams will win it and recently that's been one of one until last year He also references what we've seen in Scotland too, the rest doing financial harm to themselves to try and keep up. I don't have an issue with the prize money or how it's distributed. If anything it's too evenly shared. If the bubble doesn't pop, I'm not sure what the issue is really. It's as, if not more competitive than any other top league in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City's is a shambles for everybody at this moment. Folk trying to get answers and the queueing system on phones not helping. Quite a few have gave up and not going. Despite good prices looks like all attendances in cup matches are going to be down by quite a lot. Looks like it is going to be a nightmare for non season ticket holders this season. Paper tickets for away supporters which makes you wonder why it was introduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it stands for the Europa League match against Zagreb on Thursday? He's always going to be missed but there are a few that can cover the position now and there's more depth in midfield than there used to be for it not to have a knock on effect. Bowen for instance will run his arse off in that position and Vlasic could easily play out on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
