Fairly sure he played for Villa when they lost 8-0 to Chelsea.

Probably stressed as his gran has died...again.

Not really news, but I’d never seen this before and it’s brilliant.

That was a bloody good Southampton side

A good read to reminisce.

Read that earlier - was a good read.

Makes no material difference this season. 10 points from the play offs 13 from relegation

This comment was about the Reading points deduction. Stunningly accurate as always.
Since then W0 D6 L6 and down

Aided by Warnock doing Warnock things at Huddersfield. That is him done after this weekend until another Championship club need a rescue mission next February.

QPR also halted their alarming slide from the very top to nearly as bad as Wigan.

EFL staying on Sky. £935m over five years.

Seem to be showing a lot more of L1 and L2 games as part of the deal.

Great news for Salford and Wrexham at least

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

That's an element they really need to look at. I get that bigger teams will naturally be on more often but so often they show no imagination. There was the one season when QPR were in the Championship under Redknapp where I essentially had a season ticket for them. Albion have been on disproportionately often this year when they've been absolutely wank.

Absolutely tonnes of games being shown live. Think this paves the way for the Prem to get every game live in the next few years

A lot of those being red button none Saturday at 3pm I assume?

 

[Kenny]

3pm blackout remains.

3pm blackout remains.

5 Championship games minimum every weekend, some weekends more. Just do away with the blackout

Excellent, no need to spend £10 on watching our half first team/half U21s lose on penalties to Colchester in the League Cup.

If you are a PL relegated side you basically aren't ever playing at 3pm on a Saturday, for the fans that's not great

 

[Kenny]

It will be funny seeing the Leeds fans rage again for at least a season.

I hope Sky remember all the times they had to mute their fans and put their away games at 8pm on a Sunday...

Wigan have only paid some of their staff on time this month as it seems their bank account doesn't have enough to cover all
