Post Covid, and in a new austere era, they have the income....it is clear Real and Barca will have to cut cost and at least pretend to pay back some debt; Serie A doesn't have the same income streams; France has lost its TV deal and is trying to secure a lower one.
Just realised it’s a ridiculous troll thread
The only thing " English" about English football is the country they play in.The top teams are all owned by foreign billioniaires and run by foreign managers with the top players mainly foreign too.
So we're a south african football club as our major share holder talks with an accent?
In what way is it a troll thread given the points I've made? English teams are dominating both European competitions and getting stronger while the other leagues are being hit financially and the bigger teams are regressing. I don't think it's unrealistic to think there's a very good chance English teams will continue to dominate over the next few years considering how far in front they are just now(with the exception of Bayern).
Who is their best 11 then? Reason why they've had to strengthen already for next season., haven't been a force this season.
Bad analogy mate Dave King has a Hutchy Grammar accent he is a born and bred Castlemilk boy.
Can't be arsed looking but I bet Germany have had the least out the Groups among those 3 nations.
I was cumming the c*nt
! I know what you mean but fans are the heartbeat and the World brand that's served up to us weekly from the EPL doesnt reflect the proper fans that followed City in League 1 etc.
they'd had beaten psg if Lewandowski wasn't injured, no idea who their best 11 are, but their style of play was the best to watch in the CL, even though they got beat, in the 1st leg especially they dominated psg the way man city never did over their two ties, also good teams never stand still and constant squad strengthening is the norm
That last part you wrote is exactly what they haven't done at the back, why they've bought Upamecano. It was also what they were heavily criticised for 4/5 seasons ago when they kept on pushing up current players contracts and not buying new blood.
Someone could buy the name Third Lanark, stick a few billion in the bank account and within a few years theyd be winning the SPFL and competing in the Champions League.
all I know is what I saw the last two seasons, and to my eyes, when they play to form, no teams in england or the rest of europe for that matter can touch them
I think City would be slight favs myself,obviously like to see it with Lewandowski and everyone fully fit on each side. Bayern should be more settled next season.
the big question is if we qualify for the CL, and one of those two teams will be in our group, who would you fancy
Excellent post
Your replies identify it as trolling. It’s quite clear when people read your replies to valid points others have made.
OP talk to us about how they are going to “continue” dominance, when said “dominance“ hasn’t even begun
People have different opinions, some people are agreeing with the points I've made, some people aren't. Just because you don't agree with what I've said, doesn't mean I'm trolling. I feel my points are valid.
Maybe look at the points I've raised throughout the thread. Will save me repeating myself.OP talk to us about how they are going to “continue” dominance, when said “dominance“ hasn’t even begun
A few billion pounds off. Money has ruined top level football. Even the wealthy European clubs can't keep up with the oil money that now owns the top clubs in England. Who cares about the CL or Europa if it's just going to be a competition between EPL teams.
Financial fair play working well lol
Of course everyone can have an opinion
You're getting yourself a bit confused here. I've said right now English football is dominating and currently miles ahead of other European teams with the exception of Bayern and it's my opinion that they'll go on to continue to dominate due to the financial circumstances of the other big leagues. I'm well aware Spanish, German and Italian teams have had a lot of success over the last 10 years.
I’ll try again.
Yes I would say having 4 English teams(probably) in the 2 European finals is dominating European football THIS season yes. Based on the performances of the English teams THIS season , the finances behind them and that major European teams are struggling financially and likes of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus have big rebuilding jobs on their hands, the gap has got bigger so I was wondering if English teams will continue to be dominant going forward based on that? I've not said English teams have been dominant for the last 10 years. I'm talking about the here and now. Hopefully that clears it up for you.
And when did the England team last win an international tournament,so if you took out all the foreign players,would they get as far,I don't think so. It is a joke,the CL final an none of them won the league.
If rangers were winning everything without any scottish players i would not give two fu(ks tbh
Hahaha was waiting on it. I'll say if 3 English teams in a final and if Man Utd win Europa, it'll still be a dominant season.Does tonight signal the beginning of the end of England's domination of European football?
A shortlived dominion.
The winds of change they are a blowin'
Not at all.
Same commentary said Spanish sides have won the last 16 finals they've been in.
Why English football, rugby, etc is so unpopular and everyone likes to see their arrogance biting them on the arse.
One good season and they’re crowing to the rest of the world about how they’re miles ahead of the rest of Europe.
7th ranked team from Spain just beat the 2nd ranked team from England. And if that earlier commentary was correct, that’s 8 times in a row the Spanish team has beat the English in a final.
But just how many million miles is English football ahead of everyone else?
