    New TV deal.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46267320 According to the beeb,21 out of 24 Championship teams voted against the deal. Could be their way to force PL 2 through. The EFL have stuck their necks out in signing this deal. This morning, I was told 21 out of the 24 Championship clubs wanted the...

    Hereford FC

    Sacked their manager. Won the league title every year he has been there. Took them to Wembley. Had a great start to the season. Hit a sticky patch,(3 losses and a draw) Still 3 points off the play offs with a game in hand. People say managers/players have no loyalty. With owners like this,who...

    TV games

    Why such a delay in naming the live games ? The BBC still have Liverpool v Chelsea on Tuesday,when Chelsea play Sunday in the PL.They also have West Ham v Macclesfield as TBC,surely they wouldn't televise that in front on Oxford ?

    Just a thought.

    With league cup attendances being to be honest,pathetic last night.(6k Sheffield Utd v Hull stood out for me) With the next round being week commencing 27th of August. With the 27th actually being bank holiday Monday. If we were to get a home draw. Who would be more inclined to go to a 3PM kick...

    Playing for the manager.

    When KR left Charlton,it was stated that lack of (promised) investment,uncertainty over a takeover,losing to Oxford twice (joke) all contributed to him leaving. His last 9 games, Charlton had 1 win (the ninth last game) 3 draws 5 defeats,9 games 6 points,dropping like a stone. 9 games since Lee...

    Johnny Lager.

    Just seen Mr Durnin being interviewed on the BBC,it was to do with the local elections in Liverpool. Christ he looked rough. He looked like a homeless person aged about 70. Looks like the Lager has caught up with him. Oh and he said he had played for Liverpool with Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish...

    Wembley FA cup .

    Time to do away with FA cup semi's at Wembley ? 17,000 empty seats Chelsea V Southampton. Didn't fill it for Spurs v Man United !! (84,000) Just detracts from the final IMO.

    The price of football.

    £1,995 Dearest S/T.(19 games £105 per game) £895 Cheapest S/T. No concessions for the top 7 bands of seats. So for a mid range seat for a family of 4, £4,800. Football the (rich) "peoples game"...
