Urgh. £#%&! off football.

Qatari's taking fantasy football to the next level.

Sad that it's getting to the point where the only way to compete is to hope some mad oil rich fella buys your club as his PR plaything.

It's a good takeover target for the oil barons.

Reasonably inexpensive in comparison and a recognised name.

Promotion in the first full season, CL football within 5 years, Premier League winners within 10 years.

If all 650 million of us put our heads side by side this may work

Fergie sold his soul to the devil, now the devil demands a new soul, but no one wants to step up....

I would love to have them back up in the prem. Better playing them than the likes of Bournemouth or Southampton every season.

Didn't everybody panic at Newcastle being taken over by the Saudi's just a few short months ago...?

this. They might be backwards yorkshire scum, but its a proper game.

This is too far.

Fergie and his ego and greed over stud rights landed us in this mess.

There are some teams who are simply good to have in the top.

Batman needs the Joker
Zorg needs the Jem

Football needs Leeds.

I'd rather we played Birmingham City, Newcastle, Leeds, Nottingham Forest than some of the drivel, except we are now the drivel.
