    Aston Villa charging ST holders £650 for Group game batches of 8 tickets in the Champions League.

    £650 <laugh>

    Sad to see Villa fleecing their fans.
    8 guaranteed Champion's League games for every team this season. A licence to print money.

    UEFA ought to change that tune they make teams play before Champion's League games.
    Hardly any of the competing teams are Champions of anything.

    Personally I think this 'League' they're running this season will be sorted after about 4 games.
    If they think there will be fewer dead rubbers I believe they'll be mistaken.
    Villa fans, you're being mugged off. Keep your money in your pockets.

    £650? Taking the piss out of ordinary decent fans who helped, with fantastic support, get the team over the line. Wallop….here’s your reward for loyal support!,

    Veterans and fans are campaigning to get the date changed for the Sheffield derby match this season.
    It's scheduled for Remembrance Sunday.

    Will those fans and old soldiers be listened to?
    We didn't fight a World War so greedy money men could trample over our traditions and values.
    Sky & the EFL - move the fixture.

    Not only that …asking their ST holders to buy Champions League tickets in batches of 8 to “guarantee” they keep their usual seats.

    Hearings to begin on Monday regarding the 115 charges made against Manchester City, charges spread over the past 14 seasons.

    Flies buzzing around a Bull's arse comes to mind.
    Does anybody seriously expect anything to happen apart from total capitulation from the spineless PL?
    They'll probably end up having to pay City's costs.

    There will be uproar if that’s the case - other teams have had points deducted and so should they

    I'd like to see Pep's reaction if Man City are found guilty of anything serious.

    He swore he wouldn't put up with anything like that, but in my view he's bought and paid for.
    He'll deny everything, the arrogant toady.
    He isn't half the manager Sir Alex Ferguson was. And he never will be.

    If Man City are found guilty - and it’s going to be truly hilarious if they are - Guardiola will be out of Manchester quicker than s hit off a shovel.

    Interesting to see that Oxford have won three in five in the championship.

    It’ll be interesting to see how they wiggle out of this or how the FA brush over it

    Leicester City got their case thrown out, and that was with a youth trainee lawyer on minimum wage.

    Sheikh Mansour's boys are the best money can buy. Better than Sandgaard's lot. No contest.
