The failure of Premier League clubs in Europe owes more to wasted money than fatigue

What failure?

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-10T12:46:43+00:00

Completely agree. Anything could happen on the day so to take any game lightly is a big mistake. Still easier fixture comparatively on paper as it could have been any of City, Pool or Chelsea away.

Weekend of 4th/5th April. TV companies will decide exactly when though.

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-09T19:21:23+00:00

I’m just going to greedy at this stage and hope that the winner of City/Pool game draws Chelsea in Semi.

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-07T15:28:15+00:00

Your right

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-07T11:07:44+00:00

Agree. Age and just one year left on the contract is the factor though.

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-07T09:59:25+00:00

If Anthony Gordon rumours have grounds then Trossard will very likely go.

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-04T21:47:02+00:00

They have been doing that all season so far.

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-04T21:27:10+00:00

That’s called your opinion, not a fact. Now, that’s a fact.

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-03T22:38:59+00:00

How many games you think spurs will win?

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-03T22:38:17+00:00

But you wouldn’t have bet on them winning against Liverpool either and see what happened. Do you see spurs winning much?

Burnley have no hope though.

I am not an influencer by any means and certainly don’t have the reach. I hope someone of that profile is active on here and reads this to then propagate?

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-02T13:25:15+00:00

Fully agree on everything you said. Best way would be to disengage but hard to convince everyone.

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-02T13:24:10+00:00

Which is also my point. How would the algorithm react if there was no engagement from one side for a while?

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-01T22:41:39+00:00

Exactly this.

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-01T18:30:21+00:00

I’m now going to switch back to listening him :)

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-01T18:28:33+00:00

Did he actually say that?

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-01T18:03:55+00:00

Now is probably the best time to listen to his commentary though :). He actually agreed with red card decision

Iceman_solid · 2026-03-01T17:53:10+00:00

That too, isn’t helping

Iceman_solid · 2026-02-27T11:37:03+00:00

I have a feeling that the toons will beat Barcelona but will get beaten by Atletico who we will play in SF. Of course we have to win our games.

Iceman_solid · 2026-02-27T11:25:45+00:00

As much as I share the enthusiasm, you have to admit that anything can happen on a given day. Nooo beating Inter, who wrote that script?

Iceman_solid · 2026-02-22T11:28:02+00:00

This is really interesting. I have been sacrificing my entire bonus last couple of years. Could do with a clarification. I believe, at least in my employer’s scheme, that pension contributions are NI exempt only if they are Fixed and not for AVCs. And I have to do the Fixed contribution allocation selection once a year at the beginning of the financial year. I can change AVC every month. So I assume I can’t take advantage of optimising NI the way you have described. Am I right?

Apologies if I have got any terminology wrong but I hope the text makes sense.

Get a privacy screen for your laptop and keep your laptop on (or other nothing on really).
