Fair question - I didn't - Wrath of the Barclay

Fair question - I didn't

But it's apples and oranges. Wolves was a league game; last night the kind of match where the players would've really had to go some to get slagged off. Put it this way: we were away, in a huge, modern stadium, against a resurgent club who are 3rd in the Premier League. But was I on the edge of my seat at any point? Nope. Was I gutted when they scored in the 90th minute? Nope. Heck, we could've won the game, and it would've meant nothing: it was irrelevant, with no competitive edge to it at all.

        Well I'd fucking go wherever it was. (n/m) (NCFC) - tudders, Sep 26, 15:36:02
        
        fair enough (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Sep 26, 15:50:39

        All 3 were great, so they binned one, made the other have nothing to do with champions (NCFC) - pants, Sep 26, 15:31:29
        
        But the alternative would've involved the big clubs breaking away... (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Sep 26, 15:38:37
        
        Isn't the Champions' League a kind of superleague anyway? (NCFC) - APB, Sep 26, 15:41:16
        
        Yes - but it's still better that it's under the jurisdiction of UEFA (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Sep 26, 15:45:07
        
        True enough. In a way I'd quite like them to piss off and have their own game. (NCFC) - APB, Sep 26, 15:51:08
        
        Of course... (NCFC) - APB, Sep 26, 15:57:19
        
        I thought something similar about a decade back (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Sep 26, 15:56:56
        
        Which means in effect, they are already a "Super League". (NCFC) - APB, Sep 26, 15:59:14
        
        I'd like to see them bring back the Simod cup (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Sep 26, 15:30:04

      - Yes, and mentioned them in what I wrote (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Sep 26, 15:30:45
        
        I'm guessing the answer is because hardly anyone actually reads the Pink Un or Waggers (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Sep 26, 15:34:06
        
        i skim read them (NCFC) - blindasabat, Sep 26, 15:41:41
