GGG to hand out another beating, wide points win like it should’ve been last time against the drugs cheat. 

Maybe even a KO because Canelo won’t be juicing this time?

Sorry Teso

They put season tickets down 10% when we went down and froze prices for the first year back up. They've just increased season ticket prices 20%.

You could say fair enough if they went back up 10%, but 20% is taking an extra 10% at a time that tv revenue is at an all time high and probably millions more than the year we went down because we missed the first £100m minimum year by getting relegated.

Yeah 10% this year and 10% next year he might have got away with it, but a £100 increase is a lot of money for people.

It also seems very late to be announcing season tickets prices, i'm sure we do ours like March

£100?! that's a massive increase. What percentage is that? Is that across the board?

Ashley knows how to keep you lot on side. He does not give a flying fuck, i think you're stuck with him too

Then we've got the two 'managers' whos careers have both been littered with corruption, tax evasion, taking bungs and dodgy relationships with agents,

Yeah fuck off soccer aid. Rich people begging the public to donate money, it doesn't sit well with me. Yaya woukd've been on 250k a week last season and that drug cheat Farah winds me up.

I got my most recent job despite not having a lot of the requirements, probably 50%. They were never going to get someone with the skill set they asked for and the salary they were offering so they had to lower then expectations and ended up with me 

The criteria for a job is a list of things they want, not necessarily what they will get!

How many apprentices have two years apprenticeship experience already? I doubt many do so the applicants will be people like you applying. If you have over half of the criteria go for it.

Going to Dubrovnik for a week in May

Degale is shot. Looks like he's going to get mandated to fight Uzcatgegui who will beat him. He needs to try worm out of it and get a unification fight again Groves/Smith for a cash out fight, but it looks like the mandatory will be called before he can.

What's the capacity expected to be increased to? I don't mind the Walkers Bowl, i'd say as bowls go it's one of the better ones for some reason, but it'd be even better if the capacity is increased because then the stands would be un-even with hopefully one monster stand.

I'd say late 30k would be about right. Leicester will have captured a generation of supporters in leicester. All them stupid kids that normally grow up supporting Man U and Liverpool will surely have all started supporting Leicester after the Prem win.

I don't follow UFC closely but this is shit and dickhead Mcgregor needs a long ban or sacking.

Don’t know about up north but I know a few lads who play the equivalent level down here, the Essex Senior League and they’re all on nothing. 

I do know that Bishop’s Stortford, two leagues higher and relegated from one below the Conference pay about an average of £125 a week to their players. 

My mistake I though step 9 was higher than what it was. Step 9 and 10 clubs around Norfolk and Suffolk all pay, but it would be more like £30-50 a game. Maybe they pay around here because the travelling is so far. The equivalent league around here is the Eastern counties/Thurlow Nunn league which is Norfolk, Suffolk, East Cambridgeshire and North essex so two hour away games and leaving work early on a tuesday etc is common. In Essex or London the clubs would all be within an hour of each other i'd guess? 

Below is a map of the equivalent league in the country, look at the travelling in Devon and Cornwall, ridiculous.

Incredibly harsh on them if they were reprimanded for not finishing their season. As a 9th tier side run by, largely, volunteers, there’s only so much they can do to ensure games are played. What’s done them even more is an FA Vase run. 

I can’t say I’ve ever heard of it but surely they must be asking for the season to be extended. 

Yeah, I agree, I'm not sure what the best resolution is. Extending the season wouldn't be fair on their opponents, but not extending it wouldn't be fair on Northwich. If they were on course for mid-table I guess they'd just forfeit a couple of games.

At step 9 they're probably paying some players a couple of hundred quid a week or game.

Yeah, a lot of it has been decimated for a few months now. 

1874 Northwich are the most high profile case of this, they have 23 games to play between now and the end of the season. 

Just checked and they've had their game called off today (along with every other game in the league) and they are also meant to play on Wednesday which will be in doubt. They are 10th so have a chance of the play-offs. They must be in danger of not fulfilling their fixtures though,

Non-league football, i'm talking about below conference north/south kind of level is really struggling with all these call offs. There's always a backlog of games, but this season it's just unmanageable. I know one local team around here that are playing every saturday and tues/wed till the end of the season and now have two more games to be re-arranged so will have to play two weeks of saturday, tuesday, thursday.

I was planning on watching a game today, but as far as I can see everything is off. It's been raining for about 48 hours here.

Rome (and Roma v Juventus on may 13th) and the Amalfi coast in May is the plan, but not booked it yet.

Anyone been to the Amalfi coast? heard it's prety expensive. Thinking of going 2 days in Rome and 3-4 on the coast, possibly staying in Praiano- which from what i've read seems the cheaper alternative to the glamorous Postiano, but it's just around the corner.

Price and Povetkin weren't drug tested once before this fight. This sport is a shambles sometimes.

I still can't believe Price is going in with Povetkin a truly dangerous mismatch. I saw the head to head yesterday and it's mental how big Price is, but Povetkin KO is the only outcome. I hope Price lets his hands go, he's going to gas after 3 rounds so he needs to let his hands go and hope he lands a lucky shot. Price fights are always interesting because there's the 'what if' Price does land that right hand. Anyway, it'll still be Povetkin KO.

Joshua KO as well mid-rounds. I think Parker can make Joshua miss and can land punches himself as he has the faster hand speed, but he doesn't have enough power to trouble Joshua and at some point Joshua will land a few combinations clean and end it. Remember, Parker struggled past Hughie Fury and arguably even lost the fight! He also only beat Ruiz on a MD

Type 'journalist' into the search bar on the homepage. It's worth a giggle.

You should get 'As a journalist' tattooed on your forehead @Blue

He's lost it. Brilliant.

When Man U fans eventually turn on him, it will be amazing. I can't wait. Hopefully a few more shit seasons first though.

I used to spend hours on Ceaser 3 and age of empires. Quality games. 

And then command and conquerer tiberian son too. Very addictive games. I would’ve been pretty young then too, PC strategy games are real lost gems.

Walsall cost me £150 on saturday. They lost 3-0 at home to bottom of the league rochdale and missed a pen 

I never knew lucozade was so old. My grandparents drink it when they're sick and i've always thought it was strange but now I know why. I thought Lucozade came out in the 90s or something because i've been brought up with it being a 'sports drink'.

Lucozade is fucking great and i'm seething that they've reduced the sugar content. It is or at least was amazing for hangovers.

Brook has been one of the most underrated and avoided fighters we have had for years. 

I was there at Bramall Lane for Brook against Spence and Brook was on top untill around the time his eye was damaged for the second fight in a row. 

Also making 147 has hampered him for too long, i’m glad he’s now at 154. 

He did well against GGG, but going up to 160 against a Middleweight great was a step too far, but he still gave a good account of himself. He landed a few chocolate Brownies on that granite chin!

Brook better face Khan this year... can also see him facing Liam Smith at some point. 

Brook has one good win, Porter, in a 35 fight career. Pathetic. He's so talented, but stalled for years chasing Khan. He turned down fights with Cotto and Bundrage years ago. His IBF reign of terror Gavin, Dan, Bizier was pathetic.

Even now in his post fight interview all he talks about is Khan. I don't see how that fight happens. Kel can't surely can't go back down to 147 and Khan won't go up to 154 because that'll give Kel the advantage? 

I do actually like Kel, I just think he's criminally underachieved so far and I wish he would get on with his own career and stop chasing Khan. They dodged the Charlo questions well, no chance that happens. Another bum in June (likewise for Khan) is my prediction. The Brook v Khan fight wouldn't be nowhere near as big as it was 5 years ago, both suffered a few KO losses. It would probably sell out Brammel Lane, but at one stage it was an Old Trafford or maybe even Wembley fight.
