    And here I was so sure that Bognor Regis would provide an attractive diversion for the players. Perhaps another traditional magnet for tourism dollars, then...what about Broadclose Park, home of Bude Town FC? It appears to offer on-site caravan parking, which should ease the logistics for travelling fans and the support staff for the clubs. Arbour Park, home of Slough Town FC, would surely offer unique charms as well. It's only five years old, but looks several times that! A modern classic.

    Will be watching the Lens v Lille match with interest tonight, a huge game for Captain Fantastic Jose.

    So - 9 of the clubs who wanted to start the European Super League have accepted their punishment. A deduction of 5% of competition revenue for the next year. I bet they’re quaking in their boots. Will certainly stop them even considering something like that again :emoticon-0114-dull::emoticon-0114-dull:

    Not even a slap on the wrist. As if we didn't realise before, we know now who actually runs football at the high levels.

    A great 3-0 away victory at their bitter rivals leaves Jose's Lille just 2 wins from securing the Ligue 1 title.
    This was seen as the biggest hurdle left and now there is a home game against Claude Puel's St Etienne and an away match at Angers.

    Be a huge achievement for them. What's happened to PSG this season?

    Poch won’t be very popular, failing to get to the CL final and not even winning Ligue 1!

    We could yet have my favourite ending to a season - where both sides need to score, and so conceding a late corner could assist in that, if it sends the opposition keeper forward.

    This is ridiculous! Rotherham will be happy though.

    That was probably offside but no AR would be able to see that.
