For every TNT or Sky Sports cheerleader who would have you believe that the Premier League is without question the best league in the world, there are plenty of fans who insist it’s not even the best in England. And while Football Daily stands firmly in the latter camp, today is probably not the time to champion the Isthmian League Premier Division as the best of its kind in the world, even on the spurious grounds that our local team plays in it. Entry to nearby home games only costs around a tenner, you can drink beer in the stands and nobody really cares who wins.
And toppermost of the poppermost (some say top of the pops) in the tempting fate charts is this from Big Website. Germany will now probably go and win it won’t they … on penalties … against us” – Noble Francis.
Re: Monday’s snow joke section – oh, how quickly people forget the USA USA USA v Costa Rica in March 2013, a match almost stopped in the 56th minute due to the snowy conditions at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in usually sunny Colorado. But to be honest, I’m not sure how much merit I place in claims of advantage due to environmental conditions. After all, the announcements at Colorado Rapids matches, for instance, make a big deal of the fact that teams will be playing at altitude (it’s at about a mile above sea level). Anyone who’s ever followed the Rapids knows that this advantage is rarely reflected in the actual results” – Sarah Rothwell.
If Nottingham Forest fans decide to leave a game at the City Ground early as a result of a dodgy refereeing decision- do you suppose the seats will go ‘Clattety, Clatt, Clatt, Clattety, Clatt?’” – John De la Cruz.
Fascinating and in many ways predictable to see that under the new regime Manchester United have decided to radically shake things up by transferring their scattergun recruitment efforts from the pitch to the boardroom, with presumably the same expectation of delivery? Ashworth, Berrada, Freedman, who’s next? And how many of them will be already on gardening leave by the time you finish reading this sentence” – Jeremy Boyce.
