This discussion of which teams will go down made me think "what if you could relegate players?" So who's the 3 PL players you'd relegate and a short reason of why? And so that its not just people piling on a certain team you can't take more than 1 per team (its very late here so hopefully that made sense)

Bruno F / ManUtd - histronics
K.Zouma / WestHam - cat kicker
Richarlison / Spurs - attitude of a world beater who does not much

Normally I'd say Mendy from ManCity but i have no idea if hes even on the squad/what the latest is with him.

Yes Mendy and that kid from Man U and anyone else on Rapist FC

Thank you for saying Richarlison. I can’t even believe he features for Brazil as heavily as he does. I can’t improve on your three.

Pickford - problematic face

Brighton who Potter left mid season for the Chelsea job - just tied ManCity to earn Europa League for next year...that is all.

Don’t forget Chelsea snagged a few players too. MacAllister is on the way out but they got a replacement from Dortmund. Hopefully they can keep their squad together and add to it. They play well together

Proper game that, which Brighton probably deserved to win…

I started barracking for Liverpool as a teen as Rowley and The Beatles were from there. Where does that rank me on the scale of credibility?

When were you a teen? But I’d say it’s credible. Klopp years are only years of sustained success. There have been little blips of goodness under Benitez (Istanbul), Rogers (near league win), and Houllier (wonky treble) if we’re going that far back, but I think during those eras there were bigger bandwagon magnets

Mid 2000s. Think YNWA in Really Sorry. Bought a Liverpool scarf when I went there in 2008 but only started watching games regularly in the last few years. Good time to jump on board

I dig it. I rarely find Liverpool supporters in the wild

I there any Premier League team that is still 100% in the hands of their fans? If so, that is the team I will start rooting for when it comes to english football

edit: oh well after a quick google search i couldn't find any. Sorry guys but your league is fucked.

It seems fucked to you or me (and let's not fool ourselves, much of European football is fucked almost beyond repair), but obviously a lot of people dgaf as long as their team is winning.

I’d root for Luton if i was a casual - they’re on the cusp of completing what Wrexham wants to do

Atiba Applebum · « **Reply #4934 on:** May 28, 2023, 02:16:44 AM »

Luton has made it from the lowest league to the Premier League! If you haven’t seen their grounds, it’s worth a google. Appparently they will have to spend a shit ton of money to get it to PL broadcast standards.

A little bummed it came at Coventry’s expense since I like the Specials and think Coventry has one of my favorite badges.

Also, so gutted for Dortmund, especially Reus. How does Bayern take any pride in winning the league any more? Can anyone explain why financially they have a stranglehold on the league. Is it a TV rights deal like in La Liga?

As a kid when i played little league, the local club used to assing nicknames from english football to every team.
My team was Luton.

A proud day.

Buddy of mine gave me shit once because he played for ”Stoke”.
Look who’s laughing now.

Yo, congrats to MCFC Barcelona for the FPL win!

Síota · « **Reply #4937 on:** May 29, 2023, 03:37:20 AM »

Lol at Hamburg.
Luton will be amazing to see. I hope they get to play at home. Given the money from the tv and wining at Wimbledon the should be able to sort the ground out.
Gutted Leeds went down but not surprised. Hopefully they keep big Sam.

Sorry to double post, but I just remembered to check the fantasy league, congrats MCFC Barcelona! When the 2023/4 season is about to start I'll post a link here in case anyone else wants to join us.

dude I don't think you realize how big this sport is....it's just SO MUCH MONEY.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the big european clubs dwarf any NBA or NFL franchise in terms of budget or viewership...

The only sports team in the US that says it’s fan owned is mightily stretching the truth
