Albeit depressing.

“Is this what it’s going to be now? Sub-drama. Banter wars. A series of glossy exhibition matches while YouTubers in swivel chairs shout rage-adjacent thought-blurts for advert likes? Was it even worth the expense of actually playing the season? Maybe it could have been simulated instead. Or TV companies could offer a subscription where you get to engage with the banter-content and pundit zingers without having to sit there for ages watching pressing happen.”

Good article. The Premier League is following the same model as US sports. Clubs are becoming franchises, fans are consumers, prices (both tickets, wages and transfer fees) keep on rising, and before long I think they’ll try and scrap relegation.

Yes, it’s great to be back in the top flight, but I think the journey to get there will be more enjoyable than the destination.

I assumed it was Ronny before I read it, it is good.

I hadn’t read last week’s piece on Millwall seeing off redevelopment plans which is nicely positive:
