Grauaniad readers watch something as lumpenproletariat as football?
ABU watch
- Thread starter Rams
- Start date
it's a working class sport after all, I'm more shocked that fancy feckers inheriting fortunes and writing for the likes of Telegraph pretend to follow football.
At least they watch rugby. Upper middle class Guardian readers will be more into the latest fitness fad.
Did they come up with that term in their time spent in Manchester? Possibly even reading The Manchester Guardian?
Marx came up with it, so yes.
Yeah I can’t stand him - it’s like he read Barney Ronay’s work and thought, ‘I can do that’. Jonathan Wilson is also insufferable.
Being a left wing leaning Forum, anything from the Guardian is always lapped up, however much drivel they write and they write a lot of drivel.
Fair play to @DOTA for starting the Guardian thread in the CE Forum a while ago. Surprised you weren't hounded out for your anti Guardian agenda, tbh.

If I recall correctly Weaste immediately came after me for being a Tory cnut.
The Guardian is largely centre right drivel for middle class liberals who were left wing in their uni days.

That is a fairly accurate description.
Whereas workin' people swear by The Sun innit
The UK press is as good as its readership
Well, if Comrade Marx says so, it must be true!
Christ almighty, calling the Guardian right wing? I've seen some crazy posts, this is up there.

Not saying anything he said is true, but he did coin that term.
The Guardian has definitely turned rightward under the current editorial. I'd call it centrist more than just right-wing, but certainly not the lefty Marx-obsessed luvvie rag some confuse it with.
Give it a read, chief. Stay off the football pages, though. Awful.
I'd rather read the caf than the Guardian or any rag. Also, that paper is not more right wing
Nary a word when Chelsea won it finishing 10th in the league but of course now they give a toss
These cnuts are fecking everywhere! Sick of it.
It's gotten worse since United have become shite yet we still somehow get more attention and coverage than any other club in the world. Our rivals can't stand it.
Yup. Hated, adored, never ignored.

Winners of a 2nd tier competition getting access to the 1st tier seems about as logical a prize as I can think of, it's a great rule.

Have they an issue with the Conference League winners going into the Europa then ?
Getting into the CL for winning the Europa is a fair reward. 5th will be in the CL next year purely on the basis of the ranking of English teams within Europe
Gives the competition some legitimacy and viewing figures.
Who would care about it if nothing was at stake?
5th will be in the CL partially off the backs of United and Spurs doing well in the Europa League.
Yep 100%
I'd personally give the FA and League Cups champions league spots rather than rewarding clubs finishing 3rd or 4th.
700 replies in the tweet. Engagement attained, job done.
Exactly. I like the rule that stops the CL clubs dropping down - now that is something that used to favour the elite - but this is pure clickbait.
Should the winners of the championship be promoted to the premier league?! It’s elitism gone mad!
Yep. The winners getting into the CL and no more drop downs guarantees a different winner every year. Didn't Seville win it back to back and on both occasions they had dropped down from the CL
Not sure I understand the point he's making by mentioning clubs like Fulham, Brighton, Brentford, as if United or Spurs winning the Europa would be a feck you to them. There's a very, very slim chance any of those clubs will crack the top 4 anyway, but they could qualify for the Europa, win it, and play in the Champions League themselves. It seems like the opposite of elitism, as it gives a genuine pathway into the Champions League without having to finish top 4, opening the door for cubs outside of the established big 6.
Adding an incentive to win a 2nd tier trophy is exactly what 2nd tier trophies need, otherwise they will be dragging around their "mickey mouse cup" reputation forever, and clubs will deprioritise it over finishing as high as possible in the league.

It's simple as no one would give a toss about Europa league in Premier league if CL was not on offer. It's the only carrot that dangles in front of team s to be competitive!
Maybe in rest of Europe it has more pull I wouldn't know.

If Man Utd had 5th and qualified for next season's Champions League, then they'd be saying 5 places is too much
Could there be 6 teams in the CL next season then?
Yeah a quick google tells me it's happened a few times, Atleti, Gala, Seville, Feyenoord etc. says 8 times since the rule came in re drop downs.
Also agree with the idea FA cup win - Europa place, League Cup win = Europa Conference place
If United or Spurs win EL , yes

It’s got the point where I want us to get back to the top more to spite these cnuts than for my own gratification.
Downie is some cnut. I see some bitters are having meltdown on social media over the."bias" on TNT last night. TNT literally had Noel Gallagher on comms for a game
Martin Keown was on a highlights show after the game last night and seemed to try and throw in as many wee unnecessary digs as he could during it. It's so obvious he absolutely hates us
No surprise he's deleted it the wetwipe
And we have to put up with

It's absolutely pathetic isn't it. Getting told off for celebrating 3 goals in 6 minutes to win the game. Ffs.
