[Donegal Wolf]

Is this surprising?

nope
sure look at the scandal in spain few years back, athletes and cyclists named but not footballers or tennis ones.

As nobody is named the story will be dismissed as the ramblings of a Walter Mitty character. Tomorrows chip paper.

I'd be much more surprised if I found out footballers weren't using performance enhancing drugs than if they were. However, if be amazed if someone actually came out and named them. There's so much money involved in the game that I can't see a scandal coming out anytime soon.

Bizarre story that names no-one, then sees a few clubs saying "nowt to do with us".

Lionel Messi is one of the individuals with purportedly illegal money activities named in the Panama Papers.

Apparently Rangers will be promoted should they win their next game. Will this be the first Scottish team to "do a Wolves" (win all the league titles)?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No, Dumbarton have won the lot.

 

[Jolemai]

Cheers.

Ouch. Didn't Guernsey FC have a similar backlog a few years back due to the weather, which resulted in le Tissier playing a couple of games for them?

All joking aside, it's not a bad little design.

Agreed, it does look smart. Just my Villa supporting friend told me it cost in the region of 2 mill which is what I thought was a bit much for minimal improvements (thought there are some improvements)

Was it £2m just for the redesign or to replace all the old stock with new stock?

 

[Tredman]

It wasn't 2m that was just an Internet rumour, apparently cost around 100k

Today's original line up for Sheffield Wednesday contained 6 loan players (allowed 5) until a fan spotted it on twitter!
