Who could forget that as Norman 'bites yer legs' Hunter ended up biting off more than he could chew there, Franny Lee wins on points with final flurry. There were threats as they were led down the tunnel and Lee tried to break out of the dressing room but was restrained by Roy McFarland. It all started after Hunter accused Lee of a dive. Derby won 3-2...
Southampton defender Nathan Wood has apologised for verbally abusing supporters as he left the field at St Mary’s on Saturday. “I’m regretful that I let my emotions get the better of me, and I take full accountability for them,” he said. “I will learn from this and will do my best to improve our performances on the pitch.”
Thanks Taff, that's really the sort of thing we didn't need to know about before Wednesday and our transformation into Charity Park Rangers.....
Nor sure where to put this so here will do….. Always confused me why Juventus, the best supported team in Italy, built a new stadium in 2010 with a 42k capacity, much smaller than the old place. Turns out, according to a really good book I’m reading, that the club ‘gave’ an entire end of the stadium to the various ultra groups, selling them tickets at below face value, and the tickets are then touted at hugely inflated prices because demand is always there, making the Ultras (or their leaders) and organised crime a tidy profit. One ultra leader laundered his money by appearing to win €200k on the lotto at his local bar over two years. This season both Milan and Inter are averaging over 70,000 for home games. They are cooperating to build a new stadium (projected to be ready by 2030). Capacity - 62,000. I love Italy but it’s as corrupt as ****.
