    Something I never knew - there's been a sin bin rule in football since 2017.

    Seems to be used more at lower league level.

    I guess in the top leagues you would get endless complaints about what it worth a sin bin or not.

    England dire for 30 minutes, reminded me of Watford last season.
    Fabulous pass by Kane.

    Hansi Flick has become the first Germany boss to be sacked since the role was created in 1926.

    Gino could learn a thing or two from them - 1926 sounds like the number of bosses he's given the Flick.

    Desperate to find some form before they host the Euros next year .

    Meanwhile Rubiales from the Spanish FA finally resigned .

    Whilst speaking to Pierce Morgan .

    Probably says it all !

    Paul Pogba tested positive for testosterone after Juventus' game at Udinese in August, and risks a suspension of up to four years according to Italy's anti-doping agency.

    The levels of testosterone differ depending upon where you come from/live apparently. The highest levels are found in men from northern Europe. Although Pogba is from western Europe and currently lives in southern Europe, he did spend a good while in Manchester so maybe his levels were higher than expected in Italy.
    That's my theory anyway...;)

    Given how far north we live, maybe there's a market for the excess that we both produce ..<laugh>

    It'll have to be a good one - doesn't look fair on the face of it. Although Toney got off light compared to what punishment others got in the past.

    Premier League Everton are set to have new owners after Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake in the club to American investment fund 777 Partners.
    The takeover would mean half of the 20 top-flight clubs are American-owned.

    And the other half fast becoming Saudi owned.

    It is what it is, I suppose - but it's putting me right off the game. Money doesn't just talk anymore - it's starting to shout.

    You are right. FFP rules seem to be there for the clubs that cannot afford the most expensive lawyers. I find I am more interested these days in the goings-on in the third tier of French football than the EPL. Lots of money issues there, but on a small scale compared to what is happening elsewhere.
