A week or so ago the "BIG SIX" were the antichrist of football and everyone in the media were (quite rightly) putting the boot in.
But this week Man City and Chelscum are in the champions league semi final and all of a sudden there is a massive media love-in for these two and everyone should be backing them as English teams. Bloomin hypocrites
Bollox to that, backing Real all the way tonight |  |

Not sure why you think backing Real is any better. They and Perez were the main instigators of the ESL. He still hasn’t given up on the idea either. They are 100s of millions in debt and are regularly bailed out because of their over-spending. Much worse than the English clubs if you ask me. |  | | |

I'd rather have Real Ale than Real Madrid. |  | | |

Real Madrid have been dreadful here, Chelsea should be 4 up |  | | |

I’m struggling to recall a Real Madrid side as poor as this lot over the two legs. It was obvious that Chelsea had the legs on them early in the first leg but Real barely looked bothered tonight.
Why do I have this bad feeling that Chelsea will beat Man City in the final. |  | | |

me too, I've fancied them to win this since the quarter final draw. Hopefully none of their fans can go | | | |

Hopefully all 7,500 of them can go and watch them lose. |  |

This is a disaster. Is there any way both clubs could lose or be kicked out or something? Please! |  | | |

The Media will go along with anything that they think will sell the most whether true or false. |  | | |

Well said, Fat Frank was one of the greatest Chelscum managers ever. |  |

I know it’s a bit dramatic but every time those scum are successful it hammers another nail in our coffin.How are we going to replace all us 40,50 and 60 year fans when we’re not around any more?
You can’t convince a local kid to come and pay to see his local team play in the championship when they can follow a team that regularly wins things?They might not ever see them play,but they’ll buy the shirts that are probably more popular in west london than ours.
With Fulham turning into a yo-yo club and brentford possibly getting in the premier league,our future looks increasing bleak in 10 or 20 years time.Loyalty only worked for most of us when we started following this club because it was something either your family or friends at school did.
How will that work if all their mates follow the scum on the tv?But where are we going to get our support from in the next few years if the teams around us are all more successful than us? [Post edited 6 May 2021 10:17]

Your absolutely correct. Our longer term future is very precarious. A lot of FL clubs are 'one town teams' and are therefore are always going to have a local support. We are surrounded by 'bigger' neighbours, most of our local support has moved away and their descendants don't have that local affinity. A lot of clubs face the challenge of getting their supporters to turn up. We have/will increasingly have to find our support before the challenge of getting them through the gates. | | | |

As I said in the piece I wrote the other week - all the newspapers and broadcasters who were up in arms about the Super League would have covered it and bid for its rights, all the pundits spitting bile down the camera about it would have worked on it covering the games. |  | | |

This is fine. When Warbs takes us up next year and we spend the next ten years 'doing a Leicester', this problem will take care of itself. | | | |

The real test remains whether the FA's, UEFA and FIFA legislate against this happening again with stiff proscribed penalties written in for any club agreeing even in principle to a breakaway.
So far, there's been a deafening silence on this. | |

UEFA making noises about punishments - a lot of lawyering going on at present I think |  | | |

Although I think quite telling that internally within Premier League all of the "Judas clubs" have found themselves removed all of their committee assignments. That doesn't sound much, but indicates that the "non Judas clubs" are far from content and will loosen the authority of the "Judas Clubs" (at least in the short term) within the EPL. |  |

I hate them. Both Chelsea and City are where they are because they bought success when it was allowed, before the football world was designed to stop less rich clubs doing the same. They are the epitome of everything that is wrong with football.
It also bugs me that Pep is described as a genius because he can get a collection of the most valuable players on the planet to play nice football and win some trophies. | | | |
