Association Football 2020/21

Am I going to be the first spoil sport to mention this? But the whole... behind closed doors thing is like the final last depressing transformation of football into the soulless, corporate sport ripped from it's cultural heart that we always feared it was becoming. That "give the big 6 veto power in the premier league" thing that was doing the rounds a couple of days ago was genuinely the culmination of where it is all going.

Good result for Servett this weekend though. I'm going for "anybody but YB" in the title race this year. And hoping Vaduz get relegated back to whatever godforsaken mountain they popped up out of.

I actually wonder now, did the involved clubs play their cards wrong here? I mean, they must have had some inkling that this universal condemnation was the sort of reaction they would get, and still went ahead with it.

Unless they genuinely think the future of European football lies in appealing to Malaysian teenagers?

Servette have qualified for Europe! For the first time in 9 years! 3rd in the Super League means they'll be playing next year in the... Oh... fück off UEFA
