This is the issue really. We're in an era of vibe based politics. Immigration being a prime example. When people are surveyed about what they think the numbers around various related things are they are generally way off which then makes it incredibly difficult to resolve to anyone's...

When we used to get the team leaked well in advance there would often be discussion about it giving the opposition an advantage. At todays press conference Lampard point blank refused to answer any questions about injuries so as not to give any information to Birmingham ahead of the team sheets...

They should take it off the US. You're got this and also Trump trying to block any talk of barring Israel from the tournament. Just tell him to do one. You could easily have a pan-European tournament shared between nations at short notice. Obv won't happen. If there's anyone as corrupt as...

Extra date added, kerching!

You're assuming the aim is to sell out. This is the old 'all the tickets should be £10' argument. When ticket prices were dropped not enough extra tickets got sold to offset it. I would imagine Doug prefers more cash in the bank and a few hundred empty seats dotted around the ground over a sell...
