Just doing our bit for the environment. With him and Joelinton banned, that’s 2 petrol burning G wagons off the road.

Fuck sake, I was looking forward to watching normal football tonight as well.

I have long argued that Premier League games could be on a Sunday at 2pm (except for games chosen for TV slots elsewhere), this means that all games could be shown on TV without a threat to lower league and non-league attendances. It also means that those moved TV games could be decided earlier, giving fans a better chance for travel arrangements. It seems that many others are coming to that realisation now.

They have teased that they will announce a signing at 4pm. I wonder if it’s a deal to sell one of the few chairs they have in the rusty open shack they call a stand.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, although it would be more funny if it’s not, but equally as depressing.

A salary cap won’t work unless every league is on board with it.

There was a Chelsea fan crying about it earlier in the day. Guess who is their shirt sponsor from next season?

It’s because it’s a related party to the owner, and also because it’s of a value of over £1m, it had to be approved by the Premier Leagues new market value test. If anyone has a problem with it, take it up with them.

You sent me a link and it took 6 months of hard work, and giving my cup of raspberry punch to my bunk buddy to get out of that cult.

Just getting me to play Captcha all day.

Yeah, due to open next year, most track work is done now, they are just building the stations and sorting out the crossings. The most talked about line is the Leamside Line which is gaining a lot of support by Jamie Driscoll, so much so that he is on the verge of it becoming his top promise if he gets the new North East mayor job. However he hasn’t been clear on what he wants from it. I find it difficult to see Nexus wanting to share track in it with heavy trains, freight trains. However the only real proposal made by any authority is the one by Nexus where they would hope to link up South Hylton with Pelaw. The problem is that just that section wouldn’t hit any real residential areas and would go behind Patterson industrial estate in Washington where they are pretty much building over the original track bed.

Yeah. In all honesty the Toney ban never sat right with me, aside from the bit where he bet against his own club. In the U.K., gambling only became legal thanks to Football Pools, which is where the Moores family made their money and went on to buy both Everton and Liverpool. Liverpool obviously getting the greater deal ultimately by becoming they are today because of it. You currently have the EFL which is in control over 75% of the professional clubs in England with a leading sponsor by a gambling firm. You have the Premier League saying in 3 years you can’t have a front of shirt betting sponsor, but will still be able to have a sleeve betting sponsor, which is estimated to double the sleeve sponsorship prices. Every broadcast game is filled with betting adverts. The Premier League’s leading domestic TV partner has a score programme that has leading betting partner flashing up before and after every advert break. Every club has a betting sponsor, some have betting sponsors for different regions. If a player happens to bet on a game though, that’s too far. I remember a few years ago when that amateur team got to the FA Cup 3rd round, a betting company decided to allow stupid bets on their goalkeeper, he ate a pie at half time and was l charged for influencing a bet because a bookie had put that on a list of things he might do. How the fuck the bookie wasn’t done was beyond me.

I think it’s safe to say that no one really knows what the case is. Some say he’s not bet on football, others say he has. Articles of both coming out before Tonali has even said something to any investigation etc. It sounds like every media outlet is throwing mud and hoping something they say will stick. Easy to write headlines saying players are due a years long band etc, which will gather all the clicks.

He was asked about the developments around the pub by the councils planning committee and he went on record saying he was in favour of it. Of course he would be, he’s got a few hundred people on his doorstep ready to serve on non-match days. Anyone would be in favour. The problem is a lot of fans thought the Strawberry is sacred and developing around it was sacrilege. They also confused that development with the development that would prevent the Gallowgate expansion. So he in turn started saying on social media that he was against it. I pointed out that it was the opposite of what he said, he pretty much called me a liar. I then linked the planning document back to him and showed the screenshot. Unsurprisingly he never disputed that. Probably blocked me to be fair.

Both made it, as well as Whitby who have a match against Bristol Rovers.

TalkSport couldn’t manage to ring up the box office man, they’ve taken that article from last night and ran with it.

They got slated by their fans because they did the same for Sunderland season ticket holders, and their fans argued that Newcastle and Sunderland fans could get in cheaper than their own fans could.

That’s Saudia Greggs Lucozade Sage Darsley Park to you.

Possible I guess. I did notice a lot more of their advertising around SJP during the Burnley match.

Oh shiiit. looks like a proper Sadia sponsorship or even them flying into Newcastle.

Any business based within 15 miles of Salford will be given his investment, anything else will be told to do one.

It’s a dirty rotten pub that hasn’t seen a duster in decades that wouldn’t get so much as a look in for customers if it wasn’t located where it is. The owner is an absolute dick and a constant liar as well.

Would be fairly happy for the place to be torn down and placed in the back of multiple skips to be honest.

Like I say, they would easily get the financing for it, even with their current debt, which I’m not 100% on, but isn’t being serviced, similar to us under Ashley.
