    A couple of seasons back, none other than Steve Claridge said [an opinion I respect a lot] that it was appalling of Portsmouth that they entirely wasted their accrued money from the PL, spending not a single significant penny on Fratton Park to improve things. He knew it had been frittered away and/or gone into certain individuals pockets.

    And I'm sure the Away supporters are very thankful, but if Steve says it then there ought to be a grain of truth in there somewhere, don't you think.?

    Accrington Stanley chairman says that Premier League money is destroying the game: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39857490

    The bad genie has been so long out of the bottle that it's almost pointless to fret about it, but there were plenty of us seeing this outcome way back when. Nobody wanted to listen though. They still don't.

    I'm sure there's more than a grain of truth... I was being facetious!

    No no, you were right to point that out. It was something, I suppose.

    Brighton doing an open-top bus thingy through the city shortly (plus Fatboy doing a 'secret' gig on the seafront at the end of it). Think I'll pop down.

    Seriously hope Reading don't go up. Utterly boring team that would offer little. Would much prefer sheff or huddersfield

    Shame Fulham got beaten. I think they were a decent side.

    I liked the look of the right-back, Fredericks, had a good game.

    Nottingham Forest have been bought by Greek shipping magnate Evangelos Marinakis after his takeover was passed by the English Football League (EFL).
