    In League One

    Exeter beat Plymouth 2-0...

    Plymouth drop to 21st, are they going all out for back-to-back relegations?

    If it's nothing to do with money why are the richest clubs winning the Champions League ?
    The Premier League ?
    Aberdeen got whacked because the standard of players are poor which comes down to money .

    AEK had 73% possession and 5.13 xG. I honestly think City or another Championship club would put up more of a fight.

    You think Norwegian clubs have more money than Rangers? Or Go Ahead Eagles have more money than Aston Villa? If the PL money is such a factor why have English clubs won the European Cup/ Champions League only 7 times in the 33 years of the PL? Yes, rich clubs tend to do better but it isn’t helping the PL particularly.

    They obviously turned up and saw AEK and panicked thinking they were playing City.

    If money doesn't count why aren't firmer giants like Ajax ,Benfica getting to finals .
    There's also a sub plot here that means teams in lesser leagues that qualify for the Champions League but not getting anywhere near winning it are skewing their respective leagues .

    Brann translates as fire. The general consensus is shock at how poor Rangers were.. it's sort of been accepted since the 1990s that Scottish PL football was of higher quality than the Norwegian and Swedish leagues, but this probably will change now. Rangers wage bill is apparently 15-20 times what Brann are paying.
