I did actually send Alfie a Twitter DM detailing my own attempt at an EAF first team, complete with a kit design and a subs bench, but since that didn't get a response I can only assume it got lost in the post.

To be honest, I suggest us to be careful with Asian owners or Asian countries trying to become UEFA member. These oil-rich Sheikhs from Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, plus the once lavish-spending Chinese, Singaporean and Thai owners, spend more times buying footballers to bring influence from and for their autocratic leaders. Kazakhstan's UEFA membership is also entirely ingenuine, it is rooted from the desire of looting money rather than contributing to football.

Why can’t West Ham get a new owner too 😢 we suck now

[@gurjasdeepsingh7117]

At least your owners invest in the club

[@ossiaigbedo7223]

Hope Mike Ashley buys your club. Everyone is so ungrateful of their club owners then complain that football is being ruined by money

[@StrongKickMan]

Shame on the English fans. They sold the soul of football.

Premier League ruined world football

How will it take over a billion to renovate OT? We could build a new stadium for that

[@amanshukla6122]

Most modern stadiums have very little "stadium" in it. I would assume that Old Trafford's renovation would involve its surrounding area as well due to the fact that the stadium has not been renovated since 2006. Hence y it might cost £1 billion and £2 billion if they go the new stadium route

It's easier to tear something down and start from scratch than have to work around a used structure for years

[@badasstasticusbadass4908]

Better call the Premier league, "The Qatar" league at this point xD

On an unrelated note, this video reminded me i promised to pick up a Shawn Michaels wrestling figure for my little boy.

[@anonymususer1728]

Ok

[@Salman-Bin-Ahmed]

Why are you not covering Barcelona's referee scandal? That's more interesting than this topic. From 2003-2018 they were bribing the refs, ALL the titles won during that period should be revoked, Messi's titles should be revoked, his Ballon d'or should be revoked !
