Vaguely interested/intrigued - Victor Sanchez has been sacked as manager of Malaga because of some video doing the rounds....BBC report said he claimed he was being blackmailed ahead of its release...what is it? Just another sex tape, or is there something juicy?

Only seen us play on TV for too long, but my take from what I've seen is that Raphael will be the Death of Reading FC.

That Lucas Joao doing awfully well there.

0-2 HNY.

exileinleeds It seems GMP are investigating allegations of fraud at Bury, and have been since June.

What have good morning Britain got to do with that?

What the fukk has some stupid daytime TV programme got to do with Greater Manchester Police?

I am really rather enjoying this! That new chap is really quite good.

Remember when you were a child, there was always that one kid who 'did karate' - but couldn't fight because 'his hands were licensed as deadly weapons' and he wasn't allowed to....but he was at least a black belt if not more....

exileinleeds Not a footballer- but Michel Platini

Yeah, triple Ballon d'Or winning Michel 'not a footballer' Platini. Corrupt as fvck though which is a disappointment.

Sincere apologies, that should of course have been Michel 'banned from all football activity' Platini.

Agree it is disappointing.

Not a footballer- but Michel Platini has been arrested in France re corruption over awarding Qatar the World cup.

The only reason I could possibly want Leeds to go up would be that it would mean there would be more variety on Sky (relegation might also achieve this, although that's not 100%) Maybe it would also be nice to LOL at them having a mare in the prem but hopefully we'll get that from FLDC Can you imag...

Not a crisis as such....but this doesn't look good from a business point of view, and could seriously impact on Sheff U pre-season spends- https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-48260517 First thought would be- back them for the drop....not sure early betting/newly promoted team the odd...

Danny Drinkwater: 20 month driving ban, and despite preferring a fine to a community order- 70 hours of community work.
Well over twice the legal limit.

Surely, 6pts on his licence is like playing on a yellow card? Do that, or similar again, and you're off...

A great role model to young people.......allegedly. He has been a terrific role model - certainly to young footballers. That doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes. You are in a very forgiving mood today cmonurz (see also the racism thread and Danny Baker). :wink: This great role model Beckham recen...

I actively dislike Chelsea. I would always want the other team to beat them. Except when they play West Ham, obviously.

I have never met anyone who knows a Chelsea fan who isn't a complete pcunt.

Am I the only one who was rooting for Frankfurt last night? Would have been sweet if Chelsea had been the one English club who didn't get there...

His defence barrister was pleading that he often does the school run- his children will miss out.

I'd say, if he has form for using his phone while driving, banning him from driving his kids around does them a massive favour.

No longer a footballer, and not arrested, but Beckham has been banned from driving for 6 months- using his mobile when driving again.

Toughie, I really don't mind- I have friends support both teams etc etc- different to if it were say Chelsea v Utd- that would be one I'd want neither to win.
It's a funny old game.

Monkeys have re-written Shakespeare, and I am agreeing with Sanguine. Why should BAME adapt for the racists? Which of us would put up with abuse of any level just because of our paypacket? FIFA needs to do more, the FA needs to do more, every club needs to do more. For clubs, plaster the home and aw...
