The winker.

He's doing well, but we'd best not give him or his team any further praise lest it result in OllyW doling out bans.
If they blame Abramovich and he gets the hump and sods off Chelsea are in massive trouble.
One can only dream
Italy has a high standard of play but very serious problems with ultras, and to put it bluntly is by far the most corrupt of the major top divisions.
France and the Netherlands are a step down in quality, but the games I have seen have demonstrated a good standard of play, and both leagues produce a lot of top talent.
Finally, (and slightly off-topic) speaking as an American, I'm surprised at how much racism and bigotry I see across European football. Countries like Spain and Italy in particular seem to have serious culture-wide issues with open bigotry being accepted as normal (and lets not talk about what goes on the Balkans). In England the problem seems more drink-related than anything else, but recently racism has become a hot-button issue there too. The US has plenty of problems with this stuff too, but our sports are far, far more progressive and proactive in taking a zero tolerance approach to it. Monkey chants and Nazi salutes simply do not happen in the US.
That's my 2 cents.
Holy cow, almost £450?
A more likely outcome would be Abramovich discovering a way to replace the fans with more agreeable versions. Don't think he hasn't thought about it...
I think it varies constantly and depends on taste. Leagues do have differing styles of play and viewer experiences. In terms of attracting talent, the Premier League is definitely near the top. But I feel like England is well behind in terms of the way it is run and the quality of the fan experience. Germany is unquestionably tops in those areas. Spain is the least competitive overall, with England next in line. There is more battling at the top but Man U and Chelsea still own the league (mostly the former). Man City is muscling in, but the difference is small. Italy has a high standard of play but very serious problems with ultras, and to put it bluntly is by far the most corrupt of the major top divisions.

....but that's life. rolleyes and one could interpret it in a way that Brecht would have favoured such a behavior. I'm still not totally convinced, though.
What, you guys can't do that? Bringing beer and chips into your theaters, having a blast during the play, but not into a simple stadium? What's wrong with you?
You can buy beer in most grounds here, but it has to be drunk on the concourse and not in sight of the pitch. Generally I don't find this to be a problem as the standard of stadium ale is generally poor.
When we pop along to Brid Town though for a spot of non-League fun, I'm able to buy a pint of reasonable mild in the club house and take it outside to drink watching the game, often whilst stood chatting to – horror of horrors – an opposition fan!
Sad thing is, I didn't understand a word of your conversation.

He said it's when he goes to watch Brid Town, where bar staff probably make up 50% of the crowd. He just needs to make sure he goes just before the whistle blows, so he's not waiting to get served behind the playersBut how do you do that in reality? Halftime is 15min. that's the minimum amount of time I've to wait till I'm served normally...anyway, I don't drink any beer, and you're absolutely right abuot the quality as well, so that was mere curiosity on my part.
I guess I'm pretty imaginative?
As Fizzoid says, crowds are small it's unusual to get over 150 folk there, save for the rare 'big' match such as the derby against groundmates Scarborough.
) against Chelsea for example
Looks like everybody does dislike the Europa League.
I'm not sure that doubling the number of teams in the Champions League is the answer.

I don't know, I think Barcelona away to Ross County might make for an interesting fixture

You should, it's mint.
The Champions League is already as bloated as a FIFA delegate after a slap up lunch. Pah.Looks like everybody does dislike the Europa League.
