    It's complete and utter bollox - academy players could be used in FA Cup replays (not to mention they are allowed 23 player squads anyway <doh>) and would still generate sell-outs at the lesser lights ...

    FFP should start with "how can we help those down the pyramid" ... right now it does **** all of any use for them whilst making it 'problematic' for anyone other than the usual suspects to get CL football and, if they do, like Villa this season - they have to sell off some of their better player(s) to inhibit them doing it again! ... sorry ... cynical me - to stop them going bust of course <laugh>

    Apparently Enzo Maresca is a potential managerial target for Chelsea - nuts if true - like what he's done so far but still very much a rookie ... De Zerbi surely much more like it?

    Lost the fair dinkums cup on pens to us. In fairness watching Howe and Ange's face when a penalty shootout was announced from nowhere was quality viewing.

    By the end was your under 18's against ours.

    Don't really see United going for Southgate myself - but stranger things have happened...

    It’s as if the club are worried about FFp. All that money and a free transfer.
