Look further into that, newly created company with links to Chelseas owners and small turnover...... going to pay 40mill a season apparently.

Wouldn't be surprised if the were in the play offs this season, then who knows. Best footballing team I've seen in that division but can be bullied a bit, like last season. Clarke has stepped up to be this seasons version of the kid they had on loan from Man Utd (name escapes me).

I'm not sure they'd have known. I'd doubt the authorities would have taken nearly 4 month check his phone etc. Also it seems like it was all very recent with the players being on international duty when it broke. I'd guess the Italian FA would have avoided this if they'd known for so long

I wonder if he is addicted or if its a ploy to illicit some sympathy and treatment might mean a lesser penalty ?

Fancy a high scoring game for this one. 4-2 or something like that. Wonder if it's worth looking a the odds for that ?

And I'm a bit wary of this type of homage to the living.

That's what I meant by "in itself". I dont really see it changing odds or patterns but it the temptation is always there so I can see why it's banned.

It's stupid but betting on your team to win isn't really dodgy in itself.

They may want to look at Chelseas front of shirt sponsorship deal first.

Don't know the owner so can't comment but it's an OK pub with decent beer. Also getting a styudenty clientele on non match days. There's plenty worse.

Philistine.

For the sake of perspective, where's The Strawberry on there?

Because we as a club have to show where the money came from.

I don't think anyone's advocating selling, just if the clause is met it will help with FFP. The alternative is that he doesn't extend and 2yrs down the line we risk losing him for nowt.

And book as far in advance as possible. Walk on prices are ridiculous.

There were some, not as many as the early 80s. Rarely seemed that low when in the ground.

Did anyone call them that ? I'm one of those that was there then (it was more than that btw, we were down to that in the David Barton days) and I'm not in favour of rena.ing stuff that already has a name.

Didn't know that.

No thanks. Don't mind a Keegan suite or whatever but we have our stand names. Leazes, Gallowgate, East stand and Milburn

What do illegal betting sites have that legal ones don't?

And it's located in Woolsington, which is in Newcastle.

To be honest, most didn't do it for Rafa either.

I'm not even sure he's been brought in solely as a left back. Looking at the recent business we've been getting platers who are very flexible. Look at Man City with Stones basically becoming a midfielder of sorts, Ake at full back at times etc. I think that's where we're heading.

I've said a few times I think had Longstaff been fit then Tonali wouldn't have started, he'd have been eased in...Bruno'd in other words.

Tonali hasn't been Bruno and that's how it's seen.
