It's not a stupid argument at all. Watching Madrid and Barca play each other ten times a season will get boring very quickly. The whole allure around these games for most people aside from the rivalries/players is the fact it's a luxury that doesn't come around often. It's to be savoured when it does.

Weak
Will miss special European nights like this. 
Its on his story.
Some people don't like rocking the boat. They don't oppose the glazers , they don't oppose the SL they seem to just hate conflict
10 times is an exaggeration. It would not really be that much different from the current Champions League.

He's been complaining about the state of Old Trafford for a while.
yeah lets do away with laws against anti-competitive behaviour because of football.
Why will they not care about winning the league? City are always winning the Carabao cup ffs and theyre the richest team in world football
What I meant is that there is a way out: courts follow the laws, but the laws can change if people want it.
People vote for governments, governments make the laws, courts have to follow the laws.
Jurgen Klopp unhappy that the "Earn it on the pitch" t-shirts were offered to his squad in the Elland Road dressing room
Cheapshot oneliner artists the lot of them.
About as well timed as Gimli offering his Axe when you're only trying to turn left to get to the airport.
Definitely about the owners and greed. However, they haven’t even mentioned any alternative point other than AMERICANS BAD Y’ALL!! Why not look at how this has come to pass? It’s just total hysteria - they had their battle lines before they even knew what it sodding was.Klopp agrees with every word of those twats in the studio, he just doesnt have the bottle to jeopardise his contract right now.
Because Manchester United don't belong in the EL, we should play CL football every year. End of. Real Madrid and Barcelona would never let that happen to them. We shouldn't pay for our management's incompetence.
Are the Sky youtube live stream not showing the game?
A top competition against Europe best... you do realise that currently there are only 6 other teams from Italy and Spain.
If you want to watch the best competition with Europe best, what is wrong with the CL?
How much difference is it to the current Champions League? It's 80% the same teams every year now.
Interesting
Exactly. None of the managers are going to say anything against the owners. I, for one would stop watching Manchester United if they go ahead and play in this Super League.
Yes there will be people who don't care about real football and follow it.
Carragher was spot on the clubs, managers and players aren't to blame for this, just the parasite owners
Because there's already the feeling the Glazers don't care about winning the title. They just want us good enough to make top 4.
We'll be in a situation where it doesn't matter where we finish in the PL with this Super League.
The same core group of teams qualify for the CL season after season as it is.
Neville has an iPhone. But how come he's never come out and criticised Samsung? It's because he's in Tim Cook's pocket.
He's a hypocrite.
He's a hypocrite.
Sure. Just don't feel the need to make sure no one gets a pat on the back who doesn't deserve it. There's a bigger thing at stake here. The historical analysis can take its course after this is overcome.
Odd that it hasn't come up at any of the dozens of commentary jobs he's done at the stadium, then.
Hilarious that he's praising the suddenly money hungry scavengers in charge of City in that piece, too.
That we are not in it, and 3/4 clubs that are still there bought their way in anyways.
I don't think these people in favor are really thinking about what this "competition" actually entails outside of more glamorous match ups. It's genuinely as shallow and lifeless as a football tournament can get from what we currently know.
FIFA and uefa don’t need to outright ban or kick anyone out, they just have to be clever in how they set their own rules eg.
For players to play in the World Cup you must play for a team that only participates in fifa sanctioned competitions. The ESL is not sanctioned by fifa therefore you Man Utd players are not allowed to play in our World Cup. Simple, they’re not banning anyone, just setting some rules. Man Utd players are more than welcome at the World Cup, just leave the ESL and join us, fifa will say.
yeah like many others, I still can’t believe Tottenham are invited to this party.
Managers, players, they all have to walk or this is actually going to happen.
Owners don't give a feck about us. Their employees can stop this in one go.
Owners don't give a feck about us. Their employees can stop this in one go.
Then fecking earn it. Because if you're not qualifying for the CL it means you're not good enough and don't deserve to be there.
What on earth are you on about?
That's the whole point of football. Nobody has a divine right to be in the CL, you have to win enough games to get there.
You have to earn it for feck sake.
it’s liverpool, they’ll have taken the shirts and
will be selling them down the covered market tomorrow.
A free shirt? they want to earn it first.
Will miss special European nights like this.
Nights like that are what footballs all about. Hell, not performing and not getting to take part in nights like this is in a way what football should be about. I remember back when it was Van Gaals last season and we scored a late ish winner against Watford at home when we were chasing the top four, the feeling was amazing and it was gutting when we didn't make it in the end. With these changes all that is gone, it takes the emotion out of the sport.
They don't care about the fans THAT much, mate. Need to be a subscriber for that
Why is it such a widely shared opinion if it's so stupid? It's really only logical.
This has the potential to be no more than a rich mans pre-season tournament for half the teams due to having to play games when they've literally nothing to play for because they're out of the "race" to advance to the knockout stages. I suppose local bragging rights against....Atletico Madrid?
