New European Super-League announced. [I Like Football]

Burnley FC has joined forces with fellow giants Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Sheffield United. The new league will also include continental giants such as Genoa, Udinese, and Celta Vigo.

Some say the move is motivated by greed. However, a spokesman for the group merely responded to criticism by raising his middle finger.

There used to be an Anglo Italian cup. I remember seeing Stoke v Roma.

@SW-User I vaguely remember it LOL.

They should call the new Super League the Anglo-Italian-Spanish Cup.

@Burnley123 I thought you'd be too young but I just looked it up. It ran on and off into the 90s. I like Stan Collymores idea of stripping the record books of titles for the six lol

@SW-User Gary Neville suggested his own team should be relegated and Burnley should get the title. Ha.

SW-User

@Burnley123 Burnley are still in a bit of danger of getting relegated

@SW-User Yes we need another win. Though if 'the Big Six' leave the prem we would stay up for sure. 🤣

SW-User

@Burnley123 In some ways, I think I might prefer it.

@SW-User If they are gonna ring-fence the champions league then I would support kicking them out. F*** em

@SW-User There used to be the Watney Cup. Bristol Rovers won it on penalties in, I think, 1969.

@MartinII Yes, I remember that one too. Pre-season tournament I think.

@Burnley123 The so-called big six won’t leave the Pemier League voluntarily. The worst thing about the proposal is surely that they want to have their cake and eat it. And if the national authorities call their bluff, I think they’ll abandon the idea.

@SW-User Yes. Dick Sheppard was our goalie. Had to retire soon afterwards following a serious injury.
