NBC sports is about is good as NBC news. When they first started covering the premier league Rebecca Lowe, Robbie Earle were well-respected. Now their bias towards the "big six" is beyond pathetic. Earle especially is really disappointing - I used to really enjoy his commentary.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that Higginbotham hasn't been on the air much recently. Was he sidelined because he didn't gush over the Sky Six? What really does my head in is that Earle and Mustoe never played for the so-called elite clubs, so you'd expect them to have a bit more balance. But they stick to the NBC script and make sure the pay checks keep coming.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Following this weird trend of footballers apologising for things on social media, Mbappe has thanked Real Madrid for giving him the ability to reject them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 TBF M'Bappe wouldn't have got £2m a week, the ability to pick the team, the ability to sack the manager and the Eifel Tower renamed the Kylian M'Bappe Tower between midday and 2pm on Tuesdays if Real Madrid hadn't been at the heart of his renegotiations. Least he can do is ask his agent to put out a tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illegal activity being discussed by current footballers and it's barely a big story. I'm not even slightly surprised it happens at that level of football. The players don't earn that much, earning a few hundred quid here and there for giving away a throw in or free kick, with the only victim being the bookies? Must be pretty tempting.

sne Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Quote JD Sports, Elite and Rangers fixed prices of replica shirts, says CMA Retailers and club could face fines after watchdog finds they broke competition law JD Sports and Elite Sports, along with Rangers Football Club, broke competition law by fixing the prices of some Rangers-branded clothing to keep them high at the expense of fans, Britain’s competition watchdog has found. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which has been investigating the matter since December 2020, said sports retailers Elite and JD fixed the retail prices of a number of Rangers-branded replica kits and other clothing products from September 2018 until at least July 2019. Rangers FC also took part in the alleged collusion, by fixing the retail price of adult home short-sleeved replica shirts from September 2018 until at least mid-November of that year. All three companies allegedly colluded to stop JD undercutting the retail price of the shirt on Elite’s Gers Online store, the watchdog said. If its provisional findings are confirmed, the companies can expect to face fines. Michael Grenfell, the executive director of enforcement at the CMA, said: “We don’t hesitate to take action when we have concerns that companies may be working together to keep costs up. “Football fans are well known for their loyalty towards their teams. We are concerned that, in this case, Elite, JD Sports and, to some extent, Rangers, may have colluded to keep prices high, so that the two retailers could pocket more money for themselves at the expense of fans.” JD said it would review the CMA’s findings with its advisers, and will make a provision of £2m in its results for the year to 29 January, reflecting its estimate of the potential penalty, including legal costs. At the time, Elite was the manufacturer of Rangers-branded clothing and also sold the products directly through its Gers Online store and later in physical shops in Glasgow and Belfast. The only UK-wide big retailer selling those products at the time was JD Sports. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jun/07/jd-sports-elite-rangers-prices-replica-shirts-cma Edited June 7, 2022 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only saying don't put United vs City, or Liverpool vs Chelsea on that day. I definitely feel like the Coefficient allowing them to qualify for the champions league if they dont qualify is worse. They'll still play, just not against one of the other big 6. Assuming that they'll still be the top 6 on that weekend is a bit of a joke, given where Spurs and United were in November the year just gone.
