Just on my way for the first time in a while, life getting in the way. There's a noticeable sense of excitement about the place these days. Very welcome change.
Suggestion from Henry Winter on twitter that the BBC could now be in breach of contract with the Premier League for failing to provide the required level of coverage
Obviously pulling PL coverage from the BBC would be the league shooting itself in the foot but you can imagine there will be some...
They don’t seem to have considered that the likes of Wright and Shearer aren’t exactly desperate for cash and the likes of Scott have a load of non BBC media jobs and all of them would most likely walk into a prominent role at Sky if they became available
Henry Winter is suggesting the show won't air at all now. Seems players and managers have informed the BBC they won't be participating in any media duties
Have it on in the background most weeks. Although I do find it utterly bizarre that the BBC insist on scheduling it so the first live game of the day on BT starts halfway through the show.

the latest government figures are 63,089 applications for the year ending June 2022, a 1,500% increase would...

UK Resettlement Scheme - 1,125 (target was 5,000 a year)

Got one for myself, struggle to get to games these days but at that price it's a steal. What more do people want? New owner, play off push, no player sales in January
If they made it £20 a game there would still be people moaning its too much
when people say stuff like this about Shugs you always have to go and check because there's a good chance anything that sounds too stupid to be real is actually something he's come out with
