    How come you lot...

    Are not discussing the Greg Dyke proposals for Premier League B Teams to compete in the Football League?
    Idea seems absolutely crazy to me but perhaps if you are already in the Premier League you have a different slant on things?

    Can't see any advantage in it for the likes of us !?.
    How is it going to benefit our under 21's playing in a league sandwiched between L2 and Conference ? Can't see how it is supposed to enhance the development of young English talent either, if that is the aim !? I'm sure ambitious non league teams aspiring for FL status are not too enamoured with it either.
    Stupid idea from the failed Director General there !

    It's a fudge to avoid addressing the real issue of clubs at the top end poaching players for peanuts from hard working clubs and then sticking them in the stiffs when they could have been playing first team football where they were.

    "PUP" must be in the running? (not really a phrase though but definately found on a mongboard.)

    Just on a point of order, 'Good luck next season, except when you play us!', is certainly a phrase - which cannot be said of 'discuss'. The latter is a single word. A phrase is a small group of words standing together as a conceptual unit, typically forming a component of a clause ie ontogeny recapitulates philogeny.

    Felt it was necessary to get this out into the open here and now, for better or worse - and as a gesture of support for my newest, bestest friend...

    'Discuss' sounds arrogant,which I'm sure the OP is far from that.Maybe next time use..."Thoughts...Comments...Observations" and we'll all be happy.

    Yes there is...

    "[insert club's] fan in peace" is the winner every time.

    I think this is worthy of a card!
