PL to survey all the clubs on VAR.

Any chance the form will be along the lines of:

Do you think the introduction of VAR has been (tick one):

- Excellent
- Tremendous
- Very good indeed

 

[Lupo]

I'm more surprised to see Lambert's name on there than Ross Nicholson's

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Remember when people used to say they'd rather stay in the Championship forever and finish 6th and lose in the playoffs?

What is worse there. The "football" or the bastard music

 

[The Bear]

Christ almighty. Is that Blues?

 

[Tom Hark]

Christ almighty. Is that Blues?

I thought Ipswich, but no doubt DW will give us the team sheets (with subs).

Barnsley v Blues

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Salford won the Pizza Cup today, first proper trophy, great stuff...

They get to keep it for one day as it was last year's final and this year's is tomorrow afternoon.

Dario Gradi banned from football. I'll let you draw your own conclusions

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Growing up in the 90s and very very occasionally getting the odd glance from proper clubs (most of them not interested as I was about 4'6'' at the time), there were always rumours about Crewe. That's been hanging around for ages.

The way they have dealt with it as a club is horrific.

 

[Tredman]

Probably said this on here before but a very good friend of mine went all the way through the Crewe academy in the 90s. He became very introverted, to the point he cut off contact with all his school friends in the mid-2000s. I only know he’s still alive as he’s slightly well regarded in his chosen field now so googleable.

Fucking good. I hope he’s jailed.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's nearly 80 years old and hasn't been directly implicated (although it's clearly all as dodgy as fuck), wouldn't happen.

 

[AndyWolves]

This is horrific. Crewe were seen as having an excellent youth program. It must have been awful to have been trapped inside that

 

[Johnny75]

He's nearly 80 years old and hasn't been directly implicated (although it's clearly all as dodgy as fuck), wouldn't happen.

He was part of the cover up and has rightly been banned.

The fact they knew and told no one is scandalous and he and everyone that knew deserves jail for that.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I agree with you mate, but deserves doesn't come into it. I'm saying there's nothing they'd pin on him now that sends him down, and at his age they wouldn't go for it.

City v Dortmund
Porto v Chelsea
Bayern v PSG
Real Madrid v Liverpool

Semis:
Bayern/PSG v Man City/Dortmund
Real Madrid/Liverpool v Porto/Chelsea

 

[Johnny75]

Wonder if we'll see a PSG v Chelsea final.

 

[Sniffer]

So Bayern vs an English club in the final!

So, Joe Hart is looking for someone new to run his social media channels
