The Football News Thread 2018/19 - everything not Wolves

[Kenny]

I would be surprised if they are given permission. Their use of Wembley expired at the end of the season. Their home ground is once again White Hart Lane, and that is where they will be expected to play their home games.

Spurs v Fulham will be played at Wembley.

Spurs v Liverpool will be the first game in the slightly moved but nice shiny rebuilt White Hart Lane

In birmingham, St Andrews Stadium has been renamed to the St Andrews Trillion Trophy Stadium

I quite like it simply because of how annoyed their fans will get

 

[White Wolf]

The only trophy they have is the new sign for the door.

Not many interesting ties there. One local derby in Doncaster/Scunthorpe but they're in the same league anyway. Yeovil v Villa will be televised I imagine.

Nice exotic foreign trip for their fans then

Albions first game back in the championship is at home to the other Wanderers, while Aston Villa travel to Hull City. I think the Villa game is on sky.

Shock fucking horror.

First few EFL games on Sky

I really should check before posting...

Kenny, going back to the league cup.

Villa, Blues and Albion are all in the southern sector, so why are Walsall in the northern sector. It has taken away their chance of a lucrative local derby.

Simply down to the number of teams and their location. We were normally in the Northern section. Walsall would have got in the South Side if Stoke had been included in the draw. Without looking, I don't know if any Southern team is closer to the North than Walsall

I can imaging there's going to be a massive Lampard love-in for Sky this season. The new Villa.

Sky already going big on Villa. Their cup game also on live.

Bet Dr T is asking for the tv money in advance.

Keep an eye on Sunderland. Shockingly all is not as it seems from Mr "I am the head of an international consortium, oh actually no, it's just me after all".

AC Milan banned from European games for 2 years due to their FFP failures.

Welcome Andre Silva then...

Valencia must be mighty close if Cancelo to Juventus doesn't go through (obvs it will)
