You are utterly deranged. Not sure how you come to that conclusion when his employer completely agreed with what I said.... You're a genuine danger and shouldn't be allowed near cutlery. Do you genuinely think outside your bubble of Newcastle fans (and Man City fans who've been after Delaney for similar demented reasons for years) that you don't look like a complete f***ing maniac? His employer agreed with me. Are you unable to grasp that? When are you going to start going through his bins?

Hmm I still quite like both tbh. I really like Daniel Storey and Michael Cox on Totally but almost everyone else they have on I can take or leave.

Doesn't surprise me, I wondered where the money was coming from. When Max Rushden did the Ramble Meets show, he told the story of when Totally was formed - they sprung it on the Guardian right before the season started that they were going independent, fully expecting the Guardian to panic and buy them out but they just got told to fuck off.

I can't figure out what I'm supposed to be seeing.

Weird for BT didn't show the aggregate score for the Coppa Italia games, I thought this was the first leg.

Was a second yellow tbf. I mean, still wrong but he's not allowed to overturn the yellow. The VAR check was for a penalty.

There is a follow up tweet by him which is where people are calling him out. Oh no, I hope he's not being nasty to Wor Mandy!

Imagine getting wound up by that.

Tonight should have been the opening game of the Euros.

Rafa should buy his own players and Premier League clubs should set up their own schools. Got it.

The impact of the number at that level is significant though. If you only get 1000 through the gate to start with and that's your entire income, it doesn't take much of a drop to make a club like that unsustainable. The effect would be felt more over the long term. The old blokes who go every week aren't going to be the tipping point, it's the kids who get used to watching their PL team every week who will drift away/not go in the first place. I think abandoning 3pm for the PL as I mentioned above would be much better for the game if it's a choice between the two.

The obvious solution is to move PL games away from 3pm on Saturdays entirely which is what most other countries do (as in their top flight is at a different time to other games), but it wouldn't be very popular with the fans who attend. To be honest we're not that far from that at the moment anyway.

It's not that different, it's not like there's people who like Premier League football and people who like League 2 football and no crossover exists there. Small EFL clubs in Greater Manchester and Greater London are absolutely propped up by people who also support the big clubs. From my own experience, I actively followed two clubs as a kid, as a great many people who love football do. I used to go to Newcastle at home on the weekend with my grandad and Hartlepool during the week and when Newcastle were away on a Saturday with my dad. If Newcastle had been on the TV at 3pm, I just wouldn't have gone to Hartlepool, I would have refused, simple as that, and so my dad wouldn't have gone either. It's difficult enough to get kids to take their eyes off the PL as it is. My best mate's a Boro fan and ST holder, and every Saturday that Boro are away he goes to a different non-league ground. It's weird to suggest that these are completely different demographics.

It's the lower leagues and the non-leagues that would collapse if blanket Premier League streaming was available. They struggle enough as it is, even before the pandemic. If Newcastle are freely available to watch at 3pm on a Saturday, it's not their attendance that dips, it's North Shields, Blyth, Whitley Bay, Gateshead... Extrapolate that over the country and the whole pyramid collapses.

I'm up for Nut's quiz. I'd be up for putting together an exclusively Who Dares Wins style one if anyone fancies it.

Nah that was Disco I think.

Not to worry, great idea for a round tbh, I'd enjoy an entire Pointless football quiz. Or Who Dares Wins with Nick Knowles! Get it done Yorie.

Mark Chapman's wife has died at 44 after a long illness.

A couple of bars open in Madrid and neesy fucks us off without a second thought.

Really good that, cheers Yorkie.

Alan Smith ahead of Saivet all day long.

I should be good for tomorrow night.
