Essential* listening/viewing ahead of tomorrow. Worth it for the “Sum up Venky’s in 90 seconds” request alone…

*not really essential, more mildly-entertaining 🙂

Is it....

Champions League expanding? ❌

Creating a third tier European competition? ❌

Playing sponsor led friendlies in far away lands? ❌

Not using your copious amounts of youth prospects? ❌

Playing Accrington Stanley in an FA Cup replay? ✅

Football is on its knees....

It’s the tightest Championship promotion race in years, but is returning to the Premier League really worth it?

Spoke to fans of the clubs involved for whom the prospect of PSR, VAR and regular doings means a big part of them would rather stay put.

General theme of these letters seems to be “why can’t fans of big clubs just be happy that they win a lot?” And I have to say I agree. Thinking your season a disaster if you don’t win a double / treble / quadruple must be a fucking depressing way to support a football club.

A few memorable moments from FA Cup Replays.
Great memories, great goals and great commentary.
RIP The FA Cup #Replays

Scrapping FA Cup replays at the behest of the Premier League clubs without the consent of EFL and non league clubs is an absolute outrage, an example of sheer entitled arrogance and an appalling abuse of power. The FA needs to grow a backbone.

It beggars belief that the FA and Premier League decided to scrap replays in Rounds 1 & 2 of the FA Cup when Premier League clubs don’t enter the competition until Round 3.

Further to this, the lack of consultation with EFL clubs and below is mutinous.

The contempt being shown by those in the Premier League, some of whom are a few poor seasons from roles reversing, is staggering but not surprising.

You don't deserve to be running it.

On a whirlwind tour of Blackburn this weekend with the legend Simon Garner for a flurry of signing events for his new book One Last Shot.

Co-author Dan Clough will be along for the ride too.

Come along and stock up for Christmas!
